I recently picked up a set of dt770 pros and i like the overall sound just miss a bit of the midrange. So i am wondering about closed back midcentric cans that are under 300. I've heard akg 240 mkii or shure srh840 might be decent for mid forward cans. My listening preferences are rock and...

Just wondering if there are any other Goatwhore fans around here. I recently discovered them, (I know, a bit late to the game) and I really like their style. I watched all their Youtube videos, and couldn't get enough. I picked up Blood For The Master where I live, which by the way is a brutal...

  If you’re like me, you love the sound of your Grados. You may also be like me in that you hate the way your Grados feel or fit on your head. It has come to my attention, both physically and through reading various threads and getting feedback from other Grado owners, that pain associated...

Hi all,   I am having a bit of a conundrum in regards to purchasing a set of Grados. I found a Canadian online retailer with decent prices for new Grados. I am having a tough time deciding between the SR80is and the SR225is. I have enough cash to buy the 225s but I am wondering if buying the...

Let me start off by saying I have a HP G61 laptop with ATI onboard sound card, HP GT20L DVD drive. Now my problem is as follows: I am noticing distortion/clipping when I play my files on both of my devices. The distortion seems to clip the treble, giving a very brittle, digitally clipped sound...

Hi all,   I will start by saying I have a HP G61, laptop pc, running itunes due to the fact that I have an ipod and like the UI. However, I have read that itunes on pc platform is less than ideal for audio. I do use Foobar for converting FLAC files to WAV. Recently I purchased a Fiio E10...

Hi all,   I am curious to know if any of you have experienced clipping on the newest remaster of WYWH (Guthrie/Plante). I noticed it while listening to my ipod, especially on the song Wish You Were Here. I tried listening to it straight off of my laptop cd player through my Fiio E10, and it...

Hi all,   I am looking for some help from a fellow Edmonton Head-Fier that is electronically inclined. I am not and I need help troubleshooting my Zhaolu D2.5 DAC. It was modded by the previous owner, opamp rolling and such, but it makes a very distorted sound when music is played through...

Hi all,   I recently pulled out my dac that I haven't used in a couple years due to the fact that I am getting back into headphones and wanted to see how the headphone amp sounded on it. To my surprise it sounded pretty decent except for one thing... shortly after I bought the dac, used and...

Hi all,   I just wanted to share a find I made last week while at a local music store. I had an extra $30 credit that was burning a hole in my pocket. While trying to decide on which Beyer to take I saw these little Apex's hanging on the...

Hi all,   Earlier this evening I stumbled upon a Superlux thread and have been reading about these phones that seems to be making quite a few waves around the net. I am interested in picking up a pair or two given their price and decent build quality, as well as there is a Canadian retailer...

Good morning all,   I have a quick question about a cable I found at The Source. I want to be able output my computers USB signal via 1/8" to my Fiio E11. I ran across this...
