    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    What are the best TWS under $50 for prog/metal? Rush/Iron Maiden/Porcupine Tree/Haken kind of music. One requirement is ability to stay in ear when on the move -- that failure is the main reason I'll be returning Taotronics SoundLiberty 53s: they just don't want to stay in place, especially in...

    Desktop amp for computer + turntable inputs?

    These look good, albeit out of the price range. Got Sabaj A4 over the weekend, so far looks pretty decent.

    Desktop amp for computer + turntable inputs?

    Currently, using Dayton DTA-120 with my computer, driving a pair of Micca bookshelf speakers and HD280, and quite happy with that setup. However, about to add a turntable into the mix (TN-300SE), so looking for a similar setup with two switchable inputs (one of them analogue), and a headphones...

    Lepai 2020 replacement

    Seems like after exactly 1 year and 1 day of service Lepai is dead. I'm ready for something better, ideally within $60-100 budget. The amp is driven by a regular desktop system, and is used with a pair of Micca bookshelf speakers.   What would be your advice? So far I've looked at Topping...

    Monoprice 8250 vs 8251 vs Dayton vs Micca speakers

    Ended up ordering MB42X today. Amazon had some refurbs, and for $50 it was hard to pass.   Doesn't mean I won't get BS22s next time they go on sale :) But after reading about them, I'm seriously considering swapping my Klipsch Synergy setup in the living room with this Pioneer set.

    Monoprice 8250 vs 8251 vs Dayton vs Micca speakers

    Thanks for the response (and adding another option into the mix! ).   The Pioneers do look good, and it seems like those and their older sibling (BS22s) go on sale quite often. Will definitely consider these.

    I think apple just killed the ipod classic, ugh

    Sad to see it go. The only high capacity device I'm aware of to integrate with my Civic's audio system. Hopefully my modded 240GB Classic will survive a few more years.

    Best android music player app?

    It is pretty impressive. Apples to apples (e.g., say, with 220VBR MP3) Sansa sounds better than Nexus 5 with VSonic GR04's. Another point is, that with 64GB microSD, Sansa has more than twice the space of the Nexus, which makes it easier to use FLAC (I guess you don't have that problem with...

    Best android music player app?

    I've now tried stock app, Poweramp and MediaMonkey (great sync option on the last one, if running MM desktop).   The sad part is, they all sound like crap (with Poweramp the best of the three) compared to Sandisk Sansa. Really want to use the phone as music player, but between SQ and limited...

    Advice needed: like comfort of Meelecs M9P, but sound of VSonic R04Pro - what else to try?

    I thought I was fairly happy with the pair of R04Pro ... however, they've never felt quite right in the ear. Recently purchased a pair of M9Ps, and while those feel right at home in the ear, even with the stock tips, the sound while not complete junk isn't nearly as good as VSonics. Cable on...
