I will be going to see the shops eventually. I'm not sure what they will have here in New Zealand but I also have to head into the city. It's still a few months before I get to Tokyo. I was just looking at getting a few specific items to read about in reviews before going into the the city to...

I guess the use of the dark red wood would be nice. And as I had mentioned previously I do see the importance of making sure sound comes first when picking what to buy, and I intend to find something that is recommended by people, to sound good. I will have a listen to some speakers/amps to get...

Well I have always liked the look of B&W, but have no real experience listening to nice speakers, and have only touched headphones. But I have decided to get speakers as well. So I have no real reason to get the B&W other then enjoying the look of the black 685s. I understand sound is the most...

Sorry my spelling isn't the best. And is it not recommended to use the RCA out on my sound card? How much different it is to use the DAC? bI0HaZ

Thank you for your advice. What kind of DAC do you recommend? I'm not sure on how much I am going to spend but I dont mind going up to around $3000 within reason. bI0HaZ

Hello, I'm trying to think up a sterio set up for my comp as my next investment. I currently pack a Essence sound card, and listen to most styles of music from Electronica, to Classical and some Jazz in between on my headphones. I'm not sure on how much I would be spending but I would like to...

That looks like a great link. Thanks!

Hello, I'm quite new to technical terms so please bear with me. I recently got back my old MDR Z700 (I got when I was 12 so no laughing ) from my friend and it has fallen apart. All I want from it now is to see if I can use the cord on it for a Mp3-AMP cable. My crap one that came with the amp...

Hey guys, my AHT-A900's are malfunctioning. The right monitor is a little quieter then the left. I had lent these to my GF for around half a year and they came back like this. What could be the problem with these? And would I be able to fix it my self? bI0HaZ

I've had a look at the ck100 and ck10 on their website and it looks nice. I look forward to testing them out. I'm sure I can convince someone. I've realized now this is going to be a bit of a mission, but a good one. There are so many nice looking IEMs! Thanks for the advice guys. I hope I may...

Don't worry. I will carry on using my A900 and PRO700-LTD. I love them too.

I will like to check out all of those on the list. And I also understand the importance of testing headphones/earphones before getting them. I will be in Tokyo soon, so going to Akihabara (electronics central) to check out earphones will be no problem. Thank you both for the info.

Ok I'll check those ones you mentioned. Including the SE530. I am interested in any high end earphone that people find amazing. If I cant decide which ones to go with, I may just have to get two. I love music and am listening to it constantly though speakers/headphones and soon, earphones...

Hello guys. I'm new to this place and I'm not understanding the search function or it's just not quite working for me. I was willing to just read to find what I needed but I would have had to do a fair bit of reading without the search. So I have come here to ask what IEM I should go after. I...
