Been doing a bit of searching to see what folks think of the sound of the Shadow and ALO Rx, specifically with the JH13. I have a pair of the JH13 in the works and was looking at getting a portable amp. I already have the SR-71A as my lone portable at the moment and plan to first evaluate the...

Going on a domestic flight in the next couple of weeks and I was wondering if anyone has carried their portable vcap on a plane? Just wondering if it would arouse suspicion at the security check point due to its looks or if it is not an issue. Anyone actually brought one on a plane?

I have a non-M Hornet. It does have the blue panasonic cap, however it does not have the 'M-mod'. It synergizes really well with the Westone ES2s, particuarly on rock music, etc. After hearing the Tomahawk, and reading the description of the M-mod Hornet being similar in sound only with more...

I'm considering picking up a solid state headphone amp for my L3000s. I have two choices I'm considering....the GS-1 and the PS Audio GCHA. I've read some good things about both with the L3000's. From what I've experienced so far, amp and headphone synergy is very important. Anyone heard these...

Has anyone heard the VH Audio Spectrum CU RCA IC? I read some positive impressions on AudioAsylum, however there seems to be limited info out there. Looks like a nice IC...copper, air dielectic, cotton insulation, cryo treated. Any info or impressions would be appreciated.

Hello. Is the Flatcap a worthy upgrade to the Naim CD5x or should I just hang on and get the HiCap instead?

I was considering a Naim CD5x to go with my Audio Technica L3000's and MPX3 Slam. Has anyone heard a CD5x with the L3k's?

Has anyone out there ever heard the AudioPath 8 wire Silver RCA IC's? I love the sound of the similar construction AudioPath iPod mini to RCA cable and was considering purchasing a pair of the IC's as well. I was hoping someone out there had some opinions to share as Hudson Audio...

I spoke with Mikhail briefly yesterday and he mentioned that Singlepower makes some silver ICs using a thick gauge wire. Does anyone have any info on these cables? Has anyone heard them with an MPX3 Slam?

Apparently Cardas has a new cable out called the Golden Presence. Described as: Golden Presence Interconnect is a somewhat simplified version of Golden Reference and fits between our Golden and Neutral Reference cables in the product line. It has less shielding, but uses the same conductors...

I've been meaning to do this write up for quite some time. I guess now is that time. Coming up on my two year anniversary of joining head-fi and I read FAR more than I ever post. Reading some of my posts, I don't know that this is necessarily a bad thing. I came to head-fi in search of the...

I'm loving my newly acquired HP-2s. Truly incredible cans. Can anyone compare the HP-2s to the Stax 404s? I've been curious about the Stax for some time and I'm wanting to know if the differences are substantial enough to continue to pursue the Stax or to just leave well enough alone?

As a Sensaphonics owner and a Grado fan, I'd love to hear if anyone can compare the bass of the PS-1 with that of the Sensaphonics 2XS? The Sensaphonics do bass really well IMHO, do the PS-1s offer similar bass characteristics? Is the bass of the PS-1s more overpowering than that of the...

Got an email today that my Headroom Micro shipped today! One week after ordering. Should hopefully have it on Tuesday. Can't wait to hear how it stacks up against the SR-71 and SuperMacro v3. Will post impressions after giving it a good listen.

I just took a huge step into Team Source first and ordered a Meridian G08 (black) from Todd. Anyone interested in getting this beauty - Todd said the price is going up 10% May 1st. Better call now....

I was hoping to put some thoughts together on the Westone ES3’s themselves as well as comparing them to the Sensas and UE10s. I have a new addition to the family (7 week old boy) so time to sit down with all three, write up thoughts, etc. is very limited. I do not have a mastery of the ability...

Does anyone have experience with the Sony SA5ks and the Ray Samuels HR2? Is there a good synergy between this particular amp and headphone? I'm looking for an amp that enables this headphone to have a nice full bass...does the HR2 provide that? Thanks for the info!

Hello. To all you Sony 555ES owners out there a quick question for you. Is there a way to have the player play continuously like 24/7 for headphone burn in purposes? I know you can do continuous play of the five discs, but they only play once through and then stop. Is there a way to have the...

Is an SACD modded Sony 555es a good (worthy) source for the Stax Omega 2s with a KGSS amp? I know something like a Meridian G08 would likely be a better, more compatible source, but will the 555es do justice to the Omega 2s?

Looking at getting an RA-1 for my RS-1s. Is there a difference in sound quality between the 9v version and the DC power cord version?

Curious to see what you all think will happen.... I ordered a pair of UE10Pros in early Dec. Had a fit issue. Spoke with Ultimate Ears who assured me they could be refit and returned prior to Christmas. Spoke with them on Tuesday, they said my UE10s should ship either Tues or Wed. Called them...

Hello and my first official post here on Head-FI. I've been following the UE/Sensa discussions for many months and I am still struggling with the decision between the UE-10 and the Sensas. I'm been listening to Ety4s (w/Westone molds) and a TAH for the last four years or so. So here's a...
