Mods please delete thread - ended up being useless.

When I saw the news, his picture jumped out at me. I knew his face from somewhere, and it turns out it he was a head-fi member. I looked for his profile and posts he made, but I couldn't find any - no sure about his screen name. I thought people should be made aware of this. If anybody knew him...

I'm wondering how backers of the Geek Wave are feeling, so I made this unscientific survey to satiate my curiosity. Feel free to comment and raise hell if necessary.

This one has me excited - a beautiful A&K product that is very pocketable and competitively priced (sort of). I think it looks terrific, but we need to hear from the lucky ones to get an idea about its sound. It will retail for $500 USD and feature the Wolfson WM8740 DAC chip, 1 microSD slot...

Tip selection is clearly an issue for some owners, so I thought it would be helpful to start a thread to build a list of aftermarket tips that are known to fit the Rockets. Please post your recommendations and as we get a list going, I will add them to the original post. Thanks in advance!    ...

For debate and discussion of Light Harmonics' new Verb IEM.....will update this post with products specs in the near future - they seem to be unavailable right now when I go onto lhlabs.com and their indiegogo page....for those of you that DO have them, post impressions if you like...

IEM Review: Aircom A3 + A5                                                                                              A3                                                                                     A5     Perhaps a month ago, I read about this company on another thread as member...

To the Admins:   I posted a review of the X1 today and the slideable bars for the various aspects that can be selected (sound, value, build quality, etc.) do not reflect what I've selected in the post editor as I wrote it and also when I tried to edit it. I guess this is a bug of some sort.

How do you feel about this?

I'm looking for impressions from owners of the UM Miracle on the dap they use and general impressions/comparisons - I'm on a bit of a quest to upgrade from the Cowon J3, so any help would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance to anybody kind enough to contribute to this thread. Feel free to...

This is an exceptional version - easily the best I've heard. It is worth every penny....   24/96 WAV File Foobar 2000 Fiio E17 Mr. Speakers Mad Dogs    

Instead of clogging the appreciation thread, I thought I'd start one dedicated to sharing thoughts on pairing amps with all incarnations of the Mad Dog.   Right now, I have the 3.2 SE and a Fiio E17. It sounds nice to me, but I'm not well-versed in the world of amps - I don't really have a...

I think the title says it all. What are the best headphones, open or closed, that need no amping, modding, or burning-in to sound great? If I just want to plug something into my ipod and be on my merry way, what should I buy?   Suffice to say, many will likely improve with amping, but let's...

Seriously, though, the ipad seems like a misfire by Apple, right?

My customs are a bit uncomfortable and I feel like I have too much material in my ears, so I'm wondering if anybody has ever tried to change the shape of a set of customs to improve the fit. It seems risky, so maybe a hearing aid dealer would be a better place to start since they, afaik, often...

I've seen TDockweiler's thread, but I was wondering if anybody else has experimented on the DJ100. I like mine, but I'm not sure about their potential via modding. If you have any ideas or experience modding these, please post here. Thanks!

I can't seem to find definitive proof one way or the other no matter how many threads on this topic I read and I don't like the tone or register of a lot of the posts I've read either (catty, at best), so I'm just going to trust in the placebo effect (a scientifically verifiable phenomenon) to...

Title says it all I think. Best open and best closed for my needs - give me one recommendation for each (open/closed)....lay it on me, if you will. Much appreciated!

It's pretty much all in the title. I'm not sure if I need a desktop amp/dac or if a portable will do. I'm also not sure if I need powered or passive speakers. Recommendations are greatly appreciated.

My retailer who I ordered through told me to file the pins down, but after spending $200 on a re-shell, should I have to? "Here are your customs, now go fix them." I don't think so. Right side is perfect...

Any head-fiers using custom cables with their 1964 Quads? Would love to hear some feedback, if any. Cheers!   Mine are being re-shelled and I want to find out how their sound changes after replacing the stock cables with something nicer, like Chris-Himself -built cables or others...

I listen to jazz, rock and roll, country (the good old stuff), classical, you name it (all in flac)....I prefer a fairly neutral sound and great detail retrieval, but my GR07s are just too unforgiving of recordings that aren't on par with the work of people like Steve Hoffman (they sound great...

I live in Saigon, a noisy, chaotic, and bustling city. I'm not really a city person,  but this is where I make my home (and where I will live for the foreseeable future). I am seeking recommendations for the type of music in the title of this thread. I'm not looking for magic, just whatever...
