Thanks always for the advice MalVeaux. LCD-2 is the first choice and the HE-6 is next in line as well as the HD800, but either of them would probably require me to upgrade or change the amp.   HE-6's are literally everywhere on Head-fi right now... should i wait for the same thing to happen...

Over the last year I've been purchasing, auditioning, and selling headphones to search for my favorite set up.  These are what I've had the chance to own so far:   Ultrasone Signature Pro Beyerdynamic Tesla T1 Synphones Magnum V4 in Mahogany cups (made by Benjamin 6264) MCA Fostex T50RP...

I've never said I tried at the apple store. I know a person who bought to test it out since he can return it if he didn't like it. I stopped by his place To test it out, but the only source I brought there was my phone, and I didnt get much time because it happened this morning and he had to go...

Quote:     Just A/B'd the Amperior with HD25-1-ii.     Long story short... What Senn and Tyll.  Are you serious?  $150 markup and a rave review for this?  WOOOW.  I really doubt anybody who's on a budget will buy the Amperior, especially since Sennheiser is keeping a tight watch on...

Quote: Yeah because it's not like Tyll never made personal attacks against headphones he didn't like.  Not only that, I didn't accuse him of anything except making a review that guaranteed so many things without offering any real information on the sound difference, except that "it's just...

According to Senn website, the Apple store is the only exclusive dealer allowed to sell the Amperiors (http://www.sennheiserusa.com/headphones-for-dj-over-ear-amperior-_505573)...  for $350, which is $150 more than the retail price of HD25-1-ii, and $225 more than the refurbished price sold by...

So I have an iBasso D6 with hiflight's opamp and high output buffer installed.  With/Without gains, it can drive my HD650 to a level that is too loud for my ears at around 2/4 o' clock , which I think leaves a little power to spare. Also, hiflight has told me that D6 drives his DT880 Dragon...

So I just looked at the innerfidelity review of the Amperior, but based on what Ive seen from other impressions I don't find it convincing that they have made much of an upgrade besides the aluminum cup, the damping design, and the copper cable.     I can't say anything for certain since...

  Quote:   Hmm, that's interesting that the soundstage of an iem is same as a full sized headphone... I know some people says multi BA's sound unnatural due to the fact that many company who aren't as skilled as Westone have trouble tuning the BA... I'm a little worried that adding...

  Quote:   What's sad is that a lot of people think they can sell their can with one driver missing or completely broken for about 60% of the retail price... without warranty.  But I do agree, I'm tired of getting bombarded with low ball offers, especially when they try to buy for way...

  Quote:   I did, but it is likely that I won't own more than one or two IEMs at a time, and I can't justify spending over $200 on just a ear tip when full remold is $169.   In this case, UM56 is not really an option for me.

Tbh, if my price is unfair (even by $20-30) and if somebody posts a reply (not PM) saying many people are selling for cheaper, Id be completely ok with that.  I'll just justify my price openly so everyone can see why it is priced that way, although my stuffs are always conservatively priced.  ...

Thank you for your input.  That helps a lot.   How do you like your 6 driver TF10?  I wish I can add drivers but that costs way too much money :/

Hi, I had a Westone 4 for a while and I'm thinking of getting remolded.  Only tips I can use with this IEM is Shure Olive or Comply's, but neither provides enough isolation as the insertion depth is pretty shallow compared to UM3X.  Also the size of housing is a little too big, as my ears become...

Quote:   It seems like you've taken some things out of context as well.   I never said you should practically "give away" your hard-earned gears, but make the price fair to the current market price.  And I'm suggesting that we should openly debate about prices on the classified thread...

Quote: Honestly, I don't know how mods and admins even came in this thread.  All this thread was supposed to be was a complaints for crappy pricing by many head-fiers and a place to share some idea for us to educate OURSELVES so that the selling/buying/trading of gear becomes much...

Quote: But what about those people on Head-Fi who buys bargain items, then sells it at Head-Fi for no profit?  I've seen bunch of people do this for Black Friday TF10's and X10's.  Again, if this was eBay I wouldn't be saying anything but nobody on eBay does that kind of thing, and I'd...

Quote:   Sorry about that, but there was no appropriate section to put this thread.  But I thought this was an important enough topic to argue about.   The bottomline is, by "flipping" or selling for profit, you are not only violating the rules (I don't really care about that) but...

Quote: Guess what, if it was eBay or Amazon I would say the same thing.  But HF doesn't make any money from the Sell/Trade forums, and if you look at its rules it should be pretty obvious to you that HF is much closer to a charitable (or educational) organization than an auction site...

I guess I was getting a little frustrated with the last few transactions... A lot of people are either huge low-ballers or have absolutely no idea how much their stuff is worth.    where I was trying to get at was that since everybody do have resources and computers, we should try to...

Quote: I would say the same thing if this was eBay or craigslist... but this is Head-Fi, where commercial sales and flipping for profit aren't allowed, and I thought that the purpose of the forum was to provide each other with good deal and trades, especially since a lot of people...

So I've been checking out the sales/trade forum multiple times a day in order to find a good deal.  But it seems like the forum is getting filled with people who wants to sell the cans for how much they paid, not how much it is worth (for example, $360 for scratched up Pro 900, $180 for TripleFi...

So AKG is the next Monster cable?  They sound nothing like the company they used to be when they made the K1000's.  It seems like they are trying to target and cash in on the crowd that buys Beats by Dre, which I don't consider to be a respectable thing to do. 

Quote: I just finished a $2000 job and want to spend some of it on a full-size can... depending on the price, definitely YES :)

bump.  I know I'm not the only one who really wants to know how well the DAC portion on iBasso performs
