Are these still being made?? Went on their website and can find no information. I thought it was there a few weeks ago but now don't see it

Haven't been on here for a few years, so pardon the absence. I have the urge to get a decent set of Grados; did some looking thourgh the "search" feature but found nothing up to date. Listen to classical, symphonies, jazz and female jazz vocals through an analog system--no headphone amp...

Thought I'd see what recommendations I could get for an amp for my Nanos.  Had the iBasso T1 which fit the Nano perfectly, but wondering if there was anything newer that would be a good fit.   Ideas???

Having read several of the threads on the many available iBasso amps I'm more confused than ever.  Just got Westone 4 IEMs to use with my iPod Classic and looking for an iBasso amp.  Don't use the DAC feature, so it would be one of the amp only models.   So what do y'all think would be the...

Some years ago, the Portaphile amp came to market with many new and interesting features such as user=friendly internal switches to adjust channel bias, gains, and other sonic features.  The amp also had many advanced electronic features, dual Blackgate caps and a HUGE appetite for...

I've updated an old BIC turntable and have a Marantz receiver, so now looking for something like a Penguin or Grammophone guide to classical vinyl recordings.  Searched Amazon and some of the vinyl sites but found nothing.  Anybody have any ideas??  I have both the Penguin and the Grammophone...

Just restored a BIC 960 turntable but looking for reasonably-priced cartridge for it.  Playing only classical--mostly DG or RCA Red Seal mono and stereo--and all records are in perfect condition so would like a cartridge to bring them into their full beauty.  Any help appreciated

We've got a thread on "headphone amps" about vintage amps/receivers and many of us would now like to know about vintage turntables and cartridges to match these amps.  I personally know nothing about turntables but having inherited several hundred mint-condition RCA Red Label LPs would like to...

Looking for several of Bill Evans' larger box sets   Turn out the Stars   Consecration--#1 and #2    Last Waltz   Riverside Set   These sell for between $61 for Turn out the Stars to $400 for the Riverside Set.  Have only seen them all on Amazon   So question is: where do I begin...

Purity Audio is having a "Blue Christmas" sale on their Blue KICAS and Caliente amps--now $229.  I borrowed one of these awhile back from a fellow Hi-Fier and can attest it is one fantastic amp   Go to their website and read Skylab's review and others who loved this amp when it cost about...

Posted a similar query on the UM3X thread on IEM forum, but thought I'd ask here as well.   Love my amps and my IEMs but just cannot get the UM3X and Portaphile combo to sound great.  Any suggestions or ideas on how to do this, or is it a bad headphone/amp combination??   Using iPod...

Awhile back I posted on another thread that my Nano was giving me problems clipping.  SOme vocals sounded horrible esp. if the singer was hitting a high note.  I was using a DIYers homemade LOD cable.  THen I bought an ALO copper cable for another iPod/amp combination and experimented with this...

Just went on Cesar's Portaphile website to print the internal diagram for the switching, went to the "ordering" page and LO and BEHOLD there's huge type saying the Portaphile is available for a limited time due to limited stock of parts.   So just a heads up to those of you who were...

Have looked at the ALO website and seen the new offering by Ken with the low-profile right angled LOD.  I'm using Nano with Tomahawk and wondering if these right-angled LODs may get in the way of the volume control of the Tomahawk, which is located on the right-hand side of the amp Any...

I think I'm beginning to hear clipping in my iPod Nano whether I use it amped or ampless.  Only certain tracks of certain CDs show this, but when it pops up it's horrible.  Oddly, big symphonies and orchestral doesn't seem to be affected--or I don't hear it.  What is affected are the small jazz...

Been looking at the ALO Rx, the IBasso D10 orD4.  Like those sizes when paired with my iPod Classic, and find the Mustang and Predator too small in their geometry.  So--any advice on a great amp to supplement the UM3X??

Another thread raised questions on the X5.  Used to own a pair, so thought I'd search pricing and availability.  Searched four vendors on these forums and only Amazon still carries them. Are they discontinued?  Seemed to be a fairly good price point between inexpensive Klipsch and the more...

My older Nano is starting to clip and have other problems so looking at the new Nano, or a refurbished previous generation. What might sell me on thenew one is the radio section. BUT--is the radio really any good?? I mean how's the reception?? Here in East Tennessee we've got mountains and...

There's been a recent resurrection of Portaphile interest on these threads of late. We've discussed batteries and their longevity in this power-eating amp, and Cesar has stated he has enough parts to build only a few more. I just recently bought another Portaphile, having sold my original one a...

The 1/8" input on my Minibox is slightly loose. Perfectly fine when just sitting on desktop and using it, but when Iput in pocket the LOD becomes loose and I lose sound either in right or left ear. Hate sending this back to China for repair so wondering if this is a simply DIYproject?? Or...

Ws checking on the status of an old Head-Fier who hasn't posted on here in months and came across one of his threads in his "history" about the Portaphile. I had totally forgotten all about this great little amp--even though it was an absolute battery vampire. Anyone out there still use one...

Use the Ety4P with my Minibox but looking for another pair to go with them. After reading the large Minibox review threads, I'm under the impression I need IEMs with a high impedence. Does this rule out the UM3X Westone 3 and others in this range??? Suggestions please. Don't want...

Thinking about returning to Triple Fi IEMs after I sold my pair awhile back. They were from the original manufacturer. So the question is: since the brand has been sold, has the quality remained??? Any changes from the old mnufacturer I should be aware of???

Just got my new Complys with built in filters to go on my Ety4p Now a question: since the Comply has a filter toguard against earwax and such, do I still need to replace those filters in my Ety??? Seems "double filtration" is a work and perhaps the Ety filters aren't needed. Any thoughts on...

Hope this is the right forum for this. Opened iTunes earlier andfound all my music in my CDs out of order. Instead of 1-2-3-4-etc they're now like 4-2-1-3-8-7, etc. That's OK for popluar music, but it is chaos for classical and symphonies where the movements are also out of order. So what do...
