    Upgrade cable for Audeze LCDs?

    Paired my LCD-2 (pre-fazor) with the Silver Dragon Headphone Cable V3 and it is hard to accurately how much the sound improved. This is not a minor upgrade by any means. The standard cable can safely be regarded as of being poor quality. The Silver Dragon on my system (Yggy & Asgard2 along with...

    China Sony E888 on Ebay

    I purchased the e888's from an Ebay vendor in Hong Kong and the deal turned out well. They came very quickly, were bonafide Sony's and they sounded very good. One note of caution, they are pretty delicate and will not last long. My pair lasted about 12 months before self-disentigration. As a...

    Sennheiser PXC250 or PX200

    I bought a pair of the 250's and liked the sound a lot. That's not the problem with these phones (I sold them within a week) They exert substancial pressure on my head and were uncomfortable. In addition, the seal produced by the cans is unnatural and feels like your ears are submerged under 20...

    Looking for new earbuds to replace Sony E888s.

    I have the E-888's, Ex-71's, & Shure e3c's and like all three of them. Of the three the Shure's seem to me most musical, spacious and easy to listen to. They don't have the low end of the ex-71's but are much more clean and detailed with better transient response & they are built exceptionally...

    Etymotic ER6i or Shure E3C?

    I use my Shure E3C very heavily for exercise, recreation, and listening to audiobooks on a Creative Zen. I recommend them without reservation not only for their very good sound but for their highly durable finnish. If you have a local dealer like Fry's take a look at the buggers. They have 5...

    Cheapest place to get Sony MDR-E888LP

    Bought a pair for $50.00 shipped from the Chi-coms in Hong Kong no problemo on Ebay. Took 2 weeks; nice phones if you don't want a canalphone. Ditto on the fragility thing. Be frickin careful, one trip or the phones get caught on a door jam and and it's tears in your coffee time. (Shure E3c's...

    Sennheiser PX-100 or PX-200?

    Quick note on my perceptions of both phones since I recently purchased and sold both days after recieving them. My preference is for Sennheisser cans (I Choose the HD-580's which I dearly love) and consider them to be fairly neutral. (I like Classical, Pop & Hard Rock musical genres) I found...
