Im thinking I might as well upgrade. I've been loyal to Shure for 10 years, and while I've tried and owned few others, the SE535 were always my go to for ease of use, replaceable cable, and sound isolation. On the other hand, the cable had to be replaced far too often, but I guess that's far...

I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to home A/V. I am in the process of changing that after a few major home theatre purchases in the past few months (a new TV and receiver). My new baby is the Marantz SR7008, which I bought due to the audiophile grade components, especially for phono (I...

I recently moved and am in the process of setting up my older home theater while making a few upgrades. The new home theater room is much larger than my old one and I would like to add a subwoofer to help balance out the bass response for the entire room.   I have an old Jamo subwoofer that is...

I am a dabbler in this audiophile hobby of ours. I prefer to allocate funds to my vinyl collection than than components. What im trying to determine is this: do I need a DAC in my home theater set up to maximize fidelity, or is this strictly for use on a computer and portable audio devices...

I have used a sansa clip plus for years now, having replaced them multiple times due to failure. They are so affordable i have been willing to repurchase as necessary. I will still use the clip at the gym, but I want something higher end for everything else I need a portable player for...

I am starting this thread on behalf of a friend who is not on head-fi. He asked me to recommend a good pair of headphones for him to use to listen to vinyl and also for playing ps3/watching blu ray.   Budget: $300   He says the cans will be specifically for home use, and that he...

Ok bear with me, I'm a noob when it comes to home theatre/audio setups. Thus far, my entire head-fi experience has been dedicated towards portable listening.   I have been looking at the Oppo BDP 103 as a nice universal player investment. I have a good collection of sacds and dvd-audio that...

Sometimes, when I add a file to my clip+, it doesn't play. The file will be listed, but will immediately be skipped over when I press play. Sometimes this happens for an entire album, or worse, an entire artist. It will just skip over each track for the album or artist until it has cycled...

I am a longtime shure owner, so cable issues and sound cutting out on one or both earphones was a pretty common experience in the past. I've had the Shure 535s now since April. After about a month, the left earphone would begin to lose the sound due to what I assume was a faulty connection...

Hey guys. Based on some recommendations from here on head-fi, I decided to buy a tcc tc-760lc phono preamp for my bedroom rig. I however get a very noticeable hiss when I turn the level any higher than about 1/3 of the way up. I am almost positive it is not coming from my amp. I also remember...

I just recently set up a new turntable for my bedroom so I can enjoy vinyl through headphones while relaxing in bed. It is separate from my main audio system which is set up in my entertainment system, so I need a new phono pre-amp. Here is my set-up:   Technics 1200 mkII turntable with a...

Hello. I have done my best to acclimate myself to the sound and fury that is head-fi.org, and this is my first post, so kindly steer me in the right direction if I veer off course   Anyway, I consider myself a moderate audiophile in that I am obsessed with music, but have not delved...
