First of all, I am not sure this is the right sub-forum to be in, but it covers a few different areas and multiple variables, most of which I consider 'High End'. That being said, I used to be heavily into the head-fi world (see sig) and was never truly content. After buying a house, I sold all...

 So I searched and didn't find anything on this AMP/DAC combo from Audio-GD. I decided to pull the trigger on one to pair with my HE-560 due to it's balanced output ratings and warmer Wolfson chip(s). On paper, it seems perfect for the HE-560. I fear the ES9018 will be too clinical/cold combined...

 So we're looking at houses and I'm looking to move over into the speaker world. I have been dumping all my discretionary $$ into headphones and headphone amps because we're in an apartment. Now, I'd like to shift over into the speaker world. Unfortunately, I don't know much about speakers or...

 I asked in the HE-500 thread and got some some good responses, but not everyone who owns, or has owned, a HE-500 still reads that thread. I figured I'd ask here. I'll lay down some criteria and make it easy!   1. I've owned a Lyr. Liked it, not interested in another one. But what about that...

I know this topic has been mentioned a multitude of times before, but now we have a few new versions of these old favorites. I'm looking for everyone's personal opinion on why they prefer one over the other, or if they've heard any of them and what they thought. Personally, I'm interested...

I am pretty (completely) clueless here and although the solution to my question seems easily solved (Amazon: Search). I was wondering if a USB connected external BluRay player can be decent? Here's sadly what I'm working with for a Laptop:   HP G72 Windows 7 Intel P6100 @ 2Ghz Stock...

I'm on the search for the best 'cheap' DAC ~$600. I've read all the threads. I haven't heard any of the following though. I've gone back and forth in my head with the following:   1. Concero: Always heard great things. Don't need the 'HD'. 2. Herus: Haven't heard much about it as just a DAC...

 I can't believe I'm back down to a beginner's budget after the money I've spent on equipment (see sig for an idea). It's almost all gone, well the good stuff is. But I digress... I'm in the market for closed cans that I can blast without interrupting my pregnant wife's blissful slumber. I'm a...

 Just looking for the best places to look for stands for these monsters! Recommendations?

 Already asked in the Appreciation Thread, but figured I might get more answers here.    Looking for a great DAC that has to have USB. I'd prefer a DAC that is a bit on the warmer side. Nice, textured, punchy bass, etc. I listen to everything so it should be a good all arounder.

 Pretty simple question for those who have experience with the G109 (preferably P model). I've been through the dedicated thread and am pretty set on grabbing one from Thomann, or Lake People directly. Is it really comparable to it's big brother the V200? Looking for a dedicated headphone amp to...

 I admittedly know very little about DACs other than they vary wildly in price. I'm looking for a decent standalone DAC to pair up with a LP G109S. Primary source is my laptop or iPod. I prefer a warmer signature and will be using it with my HE-400's and SigPro's. I currently have the Modi, but...

  After some rather hasty researching and even more hasty decision making, I just ordered the Sig Pros. I had read nothing but great things about them and they seemed to fit my bill perfectly (moderately portable, a bit colored, closed). They are going to be for my bedside rig for when the...

Hey guys, looking for a closed headphone to compliment my HE400s. I would've already bought the D5000/7000 if they were still made (do not want to buy used at the moment). I'm also anxiously awaiting the release of the Fostex TH600, but those are supposed to be around $1250. I love U/V shaped...

 I have been reviewing a dizzying amount of information about SS vs. Tube, dozens of DACS, and headphone/amp synergies. At this point I have my heart set on the Mjolnir. I was wondering what else is in that price range that my ortho's can really benefit from? I'd actually like to not spend more...

 Hey guys, although this has probably been discussed before I was just curious if anyone had any good DAC recommendations that pair well with the Asgard. Presently I'd like to keep it somewhat cheap such as the HRT II+, ODAC, Audioengine D1, etc. I have a E17 but have not heard great things...

 Hey guys, definite newb here. I have a set of D2000s for music, but am looking for something else for watching movies. I watch every genre and am looking for something that sounds more spacious and detailed (excuse my poor explanation). I've been looking at the Senn HD600/650, possibly the...

Hey guys, definite newbie with a moderately newbie question. I'm looking to pick up some headphones with excellent bass, BUT something that won't keep my fiance up at night while I'm on my laptop and shes trying to sleep. I was thinking of going with the Beyerdynamic DT 770 (80/250ohm)...
