TL;DR: Recommend me custom IEMs in range of 1200$/€/£ :) Long-form post: Hey all, returning to Head-Fi after a long break blowing all my student loan on Magic cards :p I had some Earsonics SM64s a couple of years ago, but sadly after ~4 years of love and daily use, the shells crumbled beyond...

Hi Head-Fi,   I've been using a DAP + IEMs as my audio setup for as long as I've been interested in good sound, but recently I've hit a bit of an impasse. I love the sound of my Fiio X5, but the UI is starting to get to me, with time-consuming scrolling, no cue feature and the distinct lack of...

Hey H-F,   The trance IEM thread was getting wildly off-topic, so i thought I'd set up a dedicated thread for recommending great trance tracks, artists, albums, labels or pretty much anything else you care to share!   For anyone new to the topic, I always recommend Pulsar Recordings as a...

Hey Hed-Fi'ers,   I'm looking for a good cable manufacturer in the UK or Europe to upgrade my soon-to-arrive Earsonics SM64. My budget would be £60, which equates to ~€70 or ~$100. The only manufacturers that i have found so far, Toxic Cables and Forza Audioworks, only make cables that start...

It's fairly obvious that a lot of nice audio products come from China these days. However, many of them are sold on Taobao, which for us non-Chinese-speaking landlubbers is inaccessible.  However, I was directed, by these very forums, to mistertao.com. However, while it quotes all of it's...

As the title might suggest, I'm, looking for the best IEM for Trance and EDM right now. I know there have been other threads for this, but the last one was from when the Westone 3 was new, as far as I can tell :/   The price bracket is $1-$700. If a $100 pair sounds better for Trance than a...

Hey all,   The title says it all really, I'm looking for some good unmixed Trance compilations. I have no preference for era or style of trance, it's all good to me :)   One caveat: It has to be available on CD in the UK or EU.   I already know of the ASOT Classics series, and AVB's...

Hey all,   I have found myself in the market recently for a makeover of my current audio setup. As part of this, I'm looking to get some high-end IEMs. Currently, i am looking at the Earsonics SM64, Dita Answer or Sony H3.   However, I have noticed in my time on Head-Fi that the UE TF10 are...

Hello all,   It seems to me that there are many, many types/brands of DAP around, far too many for any one person to have heard of them all (or so i think ;) ). I was wondering, then, what Head-Fi'ers felt the most obscure/unknown DAP ever was, that was also worth having!   There seem to be...

Hey all,   Yesterday, while I was on Head-Fi, I noticed a Google ad for "Extreme" headphones, specifically the "Extreme Titanium SX'500." They can be found here: http://www.extreme-shield.co.uk/headphones/sx500-titanium-headphones.php As far as I can tell, the actual site doesn't contain...

Hello all,   I have 2 questions for my first post:   1) Are the NuForce Primo 8 IEMs available in the UK, and if so, where from? 2) Are they a better choice that the Westone UM3X or W40 pairs?   Thanks in advance
