What's a reasonable price for a used AK100? One recently hit the Facebook marketplace in my area. I'd like to get it as I think it may be a nice upgrade from my 5.5G Red Wine Audio iMod. I'd like to make a reasonable offer, don't want to insult the guy, he knows what he paid for it, but I...

Hey guys, I'm currently using Westone W40 IEMs. However I just recently noticed that where the cable meets the end plug (MMCX), the rubber shielding is coming away and exposing some of the end piece. I have a feeling it's not long before it begins to go out in that ear (right). Is there...

All,   I have a really nice cable for my Westone W40 IEMs.  It was a cable I purchased here from a fellow head-fier.  I really love the cable.  However recently (yesterday) I put my IEMs on and only had sound in the right ear.  Same thing when I was walking in to work. :mad:  It was easily...

Hey all, I've been doing some reading and am looking for a new DAP. My current DAP is a Red Wine Audio iMod(128GB SD card) . I pair it with a Leckerton UHA 6S.MKII amp and Westone W40 IEMs. I believe the battery is dying (won't charge) and will eventually replace the battery. In the mean time...

Hey guys, Thanks for stopping in. Lately I've been looking for a new IEM. And for a while I was pretty set on the Weston UM3X. I like that it had the removable cable with the prongs. But I've also been eyeing the Westone W40. But I see that it has the snap ring design for the removable cable...

Right now I'm looking at: Shure SE535-CL Westone UM 3X Sony XBAH3 I listen to pretty much everything, Classical, Rock, Rap, Country, techno. I'm all over the place. For the most part I like a slight bump in Treble. Not much of a bass head. I enjoy a fair amount of bass, but by no means a...

I just got an old but mint 2nd Generation iPod classic. I have a PC and iTunes doesn't see it.  The laptop sees it as a hard drive, but iTunes doesn't see it.  I reformatted it in FAT32, but now the iPod doesn't go to the Menu.  Just gives me the folder with exclamation mark.  So I need someway...

I'm wanting to try out some gear such as DAPs and IEMs, before making decisions. Anyone know of such a place in the DC area? I'm from Northern VA buy don't mind a quick drive or longer lol. Wondering if there is an audio store that caters Audiophiles. If this is in the wrong area, mods, please...

So I'm deployed at the moment. When I get one I'll need a new phone and its audio quality will play a big part on my choice. Currently I have a 1st Gen Galaxy S Captivate. Great Wolfson chip. I also have Motorola Droid RAZR which I'll give to my nephew for gaming. My main portable DAP is a...

OK so my current portable rig is in my signature. 5.5G iMod. 128GB SD card in a Couple adapter. Fiio E17 amp, and I use it to drive Beyerdynamic DT880 250Ohm cans. I love this setup. I also use it more on the go with my Bose IE2 ear buds. I hate spending so much time with my DT880s, and moving...

I just recently got my iMod back.  I was speaking with Vinnie of Red Wine Audio and he stated he wasn't a fan of Fiio amps, and suggested I looked into the Ray Samuels Audio amps.  But I also wanted to get some opinions here before I do anything.   I purchased the E17 not too long ago.  Got it...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a case that would work with my setup which is currently in the mail.  I'll be running an iPod 5.5G (iMod) with a Fiio E17 Amp.  The case would need to have access to both sides of the setup.  Something like clear viynal on both sides.  I'm open to any and all...

Hey guys,   I've been reading a lot about the iMod.  Had a few questions on it, and perhaps some new ideas, or suggestions.   I've been reading all morning about the iMod, and most of what I was reading were old threads.  talking around 4-5 years old.  But the iMod is still a $250 upgrade. ...

So I've been looking for a new set of headphones. As I stated in my fist thread, where I got some recommendations. But one thing I waned to ask, is how does tinnitus affect your listening experience? I have noise induced tinnitus at certain frequencies and pitches do to various incidents while...

Hello audiophiles,   I'll start with a brief intro.  I definitely enjoy good sounding music, though I'm still very new to the subject.  Clearly from my headphone/earphone choices in the past lol.  Currently in my stock is a pair of Bose QC3 headphones, Bose IE2 earphones, and a pair of Beats...
