I am a yamaha eph100 user and I have been thinking of an upgrade. Anyone own or ever tried the Grado GR10e? Kindly share your experience if any. Thanks

I had an opportunity to have a brief listen to these cardas iem and it sounded as though there was wet blanket covering it. The store owner did not like the cardas as well and discouraged me from buying it. Before that I wondered whether if the cardas iem would follow the house sound of its...

As above , do all stax headphones including the sr009 need to burn in?

My impression can be desribed by one word..... Wow!!     Compared to the sr007a, the sr009 definately sound clearer and more spacious. Female vocal performance is sublime on these cans.The only redeeming quality that sr007 has is its comparatively more laidback and warm sound. However they...

The SR009 may gonna be the best headphone around and it has the reputation of being clearer than already very clear sounding sr007. I am intending  to purchase it from pricejapan as it has the most reasonable pricing among all online stores known to me. Or should I wait for more impression...

Hi, my westones 2 has given up the ghost and i do not have any intention to get them replaced under warranty. I am thinking of getting a new iem that costs around westones 2 's price range. Today I went trying out some iems at a local store. I listened to the IE7 and compared it to the shure...

Somehow i often felt that ipod's sound was kinda clincial when i was using them for almost a year. So i've just sold them off and now looking for another mp3 player. Any recommendation? I am using px200 II and sometimes my westones 2.  With the px200 II , the ipod volume seems limited, i often...

Kinda miss it and wanna buy  again.

Recently I've purchased the van den hull after having sold off acrolink 6n 2400 XLR ( exchanged Cardas XLR for them). I am also selling off the Cardas neutral reference rca and 2 other low end rcas. VDH d102 mkIII seems to sound very nice tonally and strike a balance in highs, mids and lows...

and it cost at the price of a mid range iems. Are they good?

I got myself a carda neutral reference rca for btn cdp to line buffer and a cardas quadlink 5c XLR  for btn the line buffer to the amp. This combination sounds pretty good as it neither sound too lively or bright nore too dull or warm. Its really really detailed and neutral. The cardas neutral...

By chance I managed to give it a listen and felt that its very bright and unrefined sounding. May I know what is reputation of this headphone in head fi?

I have finally decided to change my cdp as I couldn't help but to feel something abit wrong with the presentation. Its abit laid back and the vocal was not as alive as I would like. So I brought along my amp and headphone to shops to try out cd players. Tried rega apollo, roksan , nad and...

My friend advised me to change from the cheap mains distributor to a better or 'audiophile' one and he claimed that more improvements would be made from changing to better main filter than changing power cord. According to him, it made no sense using aftermarket powercord on a cheap mains...

I have finally decided to change the supra eff XLR after a/bing it with atlas questor rca. I felt that I liked atlas' sound better so I went ahead to get atlas quadstar XLR. The latter sounded more natural and balance compared to the supra. For all who are looking for reasonably priced good...

I went to a IT show fair in town earlier on and I came across a headphone made by Monster that cost about usd400. I managed to hook a demo set to my ipod and .... it was horrible for the price. It was 'monsterious' in their bass performance but the mids and highs were terrible. Anyone heard of...

Hi guys, it seems that w2 is the perfect iem for me which tempts me to consider getting a portable amp for it. Is it really nessary? The W2 sounds fine out of my ipod classic hp output, however I often hear views that its line out sounds better. As a noob in IEM/portable arena, I need you guys'...

Hi guys, I am looking for an iem that is comfortable, excellent for vocal and balance sounding. I have tried the ck100 and it sounded quite lean.

you guys agree? Well, I have only experienced a handful of iems and other portable headphones but I do feel the denon should sound pretty decent compared with other iems in its price range.

Do you guys have experience with using Altas cables? I have switch from van den hul the name to the altas questor interconnect and immediately i sense an improvement in the vocals.

Hi guys, I've got this perreaux line buffer which not only improves the sound , it also provides balanced output. I am looking at van den hul d102 so are there any other recommendations?

Hi guys, Among these 3 stax amps , which one, in your opinion, sounds the most decent for the stax omega mkII? The 1st two are not really well praised and the last one is unheard by many people. These 3 amps are more easily avaliable for me than others.

Hi guys, May I know how well does the stax sr404le perform as compared with the 202, 303 and 404 non le models? I have only heard the 3050 and i was not impressed. Prefer the sound to be smooth, detailed, true to life imaging ( if that's possible) and musical. Michael Jackson and Japanese...

I have heard 3 headphones for a brief moment, the sa3000, koss esp950 and the he60. The sony sounded quite interesting as it was very detailed and bright. I din't really like it anyway.

Mine is hd600 as it does everything very well for MJ songs. What's yours? hmm okay , let's strictly keep this topic to headphones and his music.
