    Portable Comparison: Koss Porta Pro vs Sennheiser PX 100-II

    Introduction Koss introduced us to the Porta Pro in 1984, long before I ever start embracing this hobby. It was one of the first headphones developed specifically portable use. Who knew it would be around 30 years later, relatively unchanged, and still popular as ever? Competition has come...

    Headphone storage for smaller spaces...

    I'm outgrowing my desk space and need to start coming up with creative ways to be able to get to my headphones quickly without taking up too much space. I'm certain I'm not the only person with this problem and would like to know what how you all have dealt with it. My idea was to set up a...

    Tube basics...

    First, if I've posted this in the wrong spot, I apologize. It is a question about amplification, but maybe there's a more specific place to post? I recently purchased a Schiit Lyr and one of the things I will be wanting to do is some simple tube rolling to get that experience under my belt...

    HD 700 amp and DAC recommendations...

    Started this in another thread, but as I did more research, I discovered I didn't want to really half ass this and make an uninformed decision. I changed up and refined some specifications and here is what I have...   I recently demoed the HD 700 and almost immediately rushed out to purchase...

    DAC to pair with Asgard 2...

    I'll be picking up an Schiit Asgard 2 soon and will need to get a DAC with USB inputs. Would love some recommendations as to what you think would work well with it. I know the easiest thing everyone could say is just grab a Bifrost with USB, but I have a really hard time understanding why $450...

    Open-back Recommendations for Home Use?

    Alright, my turn to start a thread and get some feedback. I'm getting closer to grabbing my next can and, since it will be a larger investment for me, I wanted to start my research early so when it does happen, I will have tested a fair amount of equipment and can continue with an educated...

    Benefits of a dedicated DAC?

    A little history first. My current set up on my gaming rig is as follows:   AKG K702  >  FiiO E09K QUGIR  >  Monoprice Premium RCA  >  Creative Labs SoundBlaster X-Fi Titanium HD   So I've been seeing some people running a dedicated external DAC from their PC and into their amp. This...

    Importing headphones...

    I've decided to grab the Sony MDR-1R, but the only version sold in the US is the black/red version and I've made a huge mistake of falling in love with the silver/brown one. Looks like there are plenty of eBay stores that carry them in Japan and Canada. What are everyone's thoughts on importing...

    Where to demo headphones?

    Alright, went over the forums to see where I should post this. I'm not entirely sure this is the right spot for it, but I know you guys will be quick to point me in the right direction if I'm wrong. I'm very close to just blindly buying the Sony MDR-1R from a vendor with a good return policy...

    Closed-back all-arounder recommendations...

    Edit: Moved this to the proper thread. Sorry sorry.   ---   I'm relatively new to the audiophile world, but have learned much from my short time here. The original reason I was brought here was to get the best audio setup on my PC for competitive gaming. I think I've achieved that...
