    IEM Considerations

    Thanks!  That was very helpful!   But now my list is so long!  I have 18 possible IEMs to choose from!     I'm just going to take this list on down to the local hifi shop and try them out.         -slovetro

    IEM Considerations

    Ahhhhhhh!   Just when I thought I knew what I was talking about, all these new pairs!       Ok, I guess I have more research to do.     The Yamaha's look GREAT, but $150 is a little steep, we will see.  The two JVCs look nice too!     Thanks for the suggestions people.       Are the...

    IEM Considerations

    I'm planning on purchasing my first IEM soon and have been looking at a few different options but thought that I should post on here to get a more detailed opinion.     I want an IEM that has good sound quality, good isolation, and is comfortable (I have smallish ears).  I'd also like...

    So I am now I'm Hong Kong and after not checking this thread for a few days I see a new development: caps! I am just going to completely avoid that discussion for now though. I leave to the Philippines on Wednesday and need to figure out this voltage problem before I leave. My problem, for...

    Thanks so much!  Helpful info everyone.  I'm still not positive, but when I get home, I will check the info on my brick and see which one it corresponds to.

    I know that those are the voltages of the countries I am going to compared to the states.  But, will that be a problem or will the Aune convert the power?

    I have been following the latest updates on this page for about the most 20 recent pages or so and I haven't seen it come up.  I have read the spec details about the product as well and can't seem to find the information.     The large black box (wish i knew the actual name) that connects the...

    TMA-1s broken headband fix?

    I have had a pair of TMA-1s for about a year and a half now and I am already on my third pair because the first two pairs broke the same way (snapped headband).  I have a nice new pair now with an intact headband and am happy with them (AIAIAI's customer service is great).  The only thing is...

    For only $8, I'm interested in giving that tube a try. Is it really a shot in the dark or do you think it is likely a good tube?

    I've made sure that most everything is set up well.  I am using USB input of course.  Gain switches are at lowest levels, I'm not sure about WASAPI, ASIO, or KSP though?  Windows 7, and mostly FLAC and some 320s through Foobar.

    It's fine. I'll give it a week. And there seem to be a lot of extra factors going into what makes a certain tube sound a certain way. I'll keep looking out for a tube that is good with electronic music. Thanks for the help anyway. Everyone in head fi is very nice.

    I'm using hd650s and this is my first time comparing tubes. I definitely am not used to comparing differences, but thought I would at least notice a few differences and definitely thought I would prefer the new tube, but I find myself wanting to put the old tube back in. I will use it for a week...

    I just purchased a 6922 jan sylvania tube and am quite disappointed. I cannot notice any improvement at all, actually, the new tube sounds worse than the original 6922EH. How real is time burn in/will this get better with time? I see nothing visually wrong with the tube, but I am new to this...

    Best affordable Amp/Dac for Sennheiser HD650

    I just bought 650s (made them myself actually :D) as well. I decided to go with the Aune T1 and I am happy I did. But, since this is my first amp and first headphones that require an amp, I don't provide a very enlightening perspective. Maybe someone here can second my opinion.

    Favorite Headphone Moments in Songs

    In no particular order:   Propeller Seeds by Imogen Heap (lots of cool effects and things throughout the song that are subtle, but really wonderful, along with her lovely voice)   Kodamas from the Princess Mononoke soundtrack   Dreams 3 from the Requiem for a Dream soundtrack (short track...

    Cool.  This one does seem to have some good reviews.  I was reading about some others and Bugle Boy kept popping up.  For example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Radio-Tubes-6DJ8-ECC88-Amperex-Bugle-Boy-Test-88-94-/291035700107   Would this tube work for the T1 and how would you say it would compare...

    Thank you! That helps and I will probably buy that. Two questions though: are tubes always sold in pairs? And if so, why? And, if I do have to buy the pair, is there anyone in the Arizona/southern California area who would want to split this purchase with me?

    I'm sorry if this was posted somewhere else earlier but I am not planning on reading 200+ pages of this thread before posting.     I am wondering where I can buy a single Tungsram PCC88/7DJ8 tube.  I have read a bit about the difference between this one and the EH (rocket) tube.  I think I...
