I know KRK 5" and 6" are covered, but I didn't see anything on 8". Whats your opinion on those? I have their 1st gen, and I like it so far. I got them used but in very good condition for $250. My reference point is not very good though - I generally listen to Indian Classical Music (Hindustani)...

bump. Please help me out guys.   Regards   Raghunath

I know about Nakamichis, but what I want should be portable. And I think Marantz PMD 430 is three head. I also think it has azimuth correction, and dolby and idx filtering. My problem is, all the reviews that I read about these things are about their recording prowess, and not about playback...

Dear knowledgeable folks at HeadFi,   Please tell me what are the best portable cassette players still around? The stuff that I am gonna do involves relocation and tape to mp3 conversion, and I want to do it the best possible way. So any ideas? I have heard about Sony WM-D6C and Marantz...

Thanks guys.. so you think the KRK RP6 monitors are OK for the size of room that I have? What exactly can be defined as near-field listening? And I would be glad to hear more about those prodipe monitors - Who doesn't like to get more bang for his buck?

I would be rally thankful if somebody helps me out here.

I am looking for a setup in my main living room (15"x20" - perfectly rectangular). My source is going to be a computer + DAC and an ipod through dock, and I want to avoid clutter, so I am looking for Active bookshelf speakers. I have scoured far and wide and have gathered my options. They are...

What do you think is the best portable line in recorder? I have to record (convert from LP and tape to digital) some vintage music, but the instrument is not with me, so I need one. Suggestions for other ways also welcome, but please know that I cannot carry anything bulky with me.

Whoa! mvw2, god bless you! I am at my job, and I just went thorough it once, it already feels like I have talked to a dedicated IEM guide made for my likening, just for me! Thanks man.. I honestly need more time to digest the huge info and thinking that's there in this post... I am gonna be...

Along a slightly tangential line, somebody (I think, a_recording, to whom I am immensely thankful for his repeated contributions) suggested an amp for RE0 that will give me a better sound. What do you guys suggest? An amp or an IEM? if amp, which one for my liking? It is not necessary, but I...

Thanks again! your reviews, your opinions make it so much easy for me! I am considering CK10, DDM, and DBA02, and RE 262 or 252. There is only one small problem, I cannot easily find here the reviews of RE262. Mark, I found your review of RE252. How do 262 differ from 252? How difficult is a...

Thanks @guidostrunk, thanks LFF. It was only head-fi that helped me come out of my 'stock' iems get hold of RE0s that started off my journey on the path of musical nirvana. I will look forward to more priceless help from you guys out there. Once again, thank you so much.

Thanks for your replies, guys. I appreciate it. I will research on ER4S. What amp do you suggest me, a_recording?   If I really want to sum up what I want, I would say I want the most 'faithful' setup, that represents the music to utmost details, and no coloration. I want the lows to be...

I own an RE0. I am looking for upgrades. I am interested in IEMs. Price range is at the max $300, but I would like to know all my options.   What I listen to: Indian Classical Music. Both vocals and instrumentals.   What I would want in my next IEM in comparison to RE0 Improved...

Thanks man.. that helps!

Well the title says it all. Its just a doubt. I dunno, I might just be a noob here asking that.

Thanks Kunlun, I appreciate the quick and detailed reply. Well, I heard that the lows of re0 can be increased a little using a worm amp like E7. What do you guys think about that? The problem is I havent heard ICM through re0 or ATH AD700 to know how does that fare against something like Klipsch...

Hi,   I am new here, and I have been following these forums for quite a few days now. I have learned much, but there is always this problem that very few people here listen to Indian Classical Music (ICM), so making your valued opinions related to my life has been hard, that's why I started...
