well my good ol ety er6i earphones have bust for the second time and now theres no warranty soooo i need new iems. ive read through pages and pages of searching but while it has given me some direction it hasnt quite answered all my questions. i would preferably have iems that are sturdy and...

What pedals do you people suggest for that lovely thick and textured fuzztone? I am leaning towards the fulltone ultimate octave because of the sounds it makes in joe satriani's music. (mainly borg sex) i am looking for that nirvana where the tone is very textured but not harsh. oh yea and...

oops..

at the moment i am looking at the peavey valveking 112 and the marshall mg100dfx. i am also considering the peavey 112 bandit. i was wondering what other good amps there are for around this price. i want the amp to be versitile and preferably tubey. The other option ive heard about is the ashton...

I got the nokia 6300 a few days ago and its a good phone but i never knew that mobiles sound this good! i havent done any a/b comparisons but i think its warmer than the ipod. i dont remember this much bass coming from my etys! while the sound does lack refinement and has a considerable hiss in...

I just got my dads pair moved into my room so they will now be my primary rig. i am simply curious as to what headphone they sound like. they are driven by quad electronics. they absolutely blow away my akg 501 and little dot II+ combo away. i cant say they sound much alike. particularly in...

what is a good CHEAP guitar amp? i think i could the amp into headphones or speakers so the speaker part isnt of much concern but what guitar amps sound good? im looking to play basically everything i cant on acoustic guitar on electric so its pretty broad. id probably be playing laid back...

right now i am sitting upstairs in my house where it is something like 35 degrees. i am relaxed and enjoying myself despite the heat. this is because im listening to my dads quads. the quads sound so precise, smooth, pure and musical that it puts any dynamic speaker or headphone that ive heard...

after my beloved er6i cable stopped working, i sent it in for warranty about a month ago. it arrived this morning and i was happy that it had FINALLY come. the parts were slightly different but i really dont care about that. it had grey eartips instead of the white ones that the white model...

im looking for headphones as an upgrade from my LDII+ and k501. im looking for something that sounds nicely believable with a great midrange and nothing poking or being hidden. (bass on the 501) im looking very closely at the stax 2050 system but im not sure if it is the right choice...

Ive been looking at the frequency response graphs at headroom and i think ive realised what is the cause of unnaturally quick highs. As a note looses energy and decays it gets a longer wavelength so when the lower frequency sounds are muted the last part of the decay of bass is muted and this...

well i am curious about this because i might get the bithead for a portable amp and for my laptop rig. i already have the LDII+ but my laptop soundcard is not great so im planning on an external sound card purchase. The bithead is nice because it is one component to use on two rigs. portable...

I am having a hard time deciding on what is a better choice for me. I keep on thinking that one is a better idea than the other and soon changing my mind afterwards. I clearly need more direction. I listen to a wide variety of music. From classical to metal to acoustic guitar to blues and...

I found a really tempting deal for the beyer dt880 but im not 100% cause ive never heard a beyer before. Ive looked everywhere and it seems there are no beyers in Melbourne well id like to know what is the most similar can to the 880 so that i can get an idea of what it will sound like if i...

i know virtually nothing about dacs but im curious, what is a REASONABLY PRICED good home dac to plug into my pc.

Is the new little dot a good synergy with the beyer 880? i hear that it has less treble than the old little dot 2. since it is a tube amp im guessing that it would make the 880s a little more warm. EDIT: oops ive got dy880 instead of dt880 in the title of the thread! oh my

I dont want to buy one but im interested in knowing what headphones are good at acoustic music. I can guess that the beyer dt880s and etys would be good and also the akg k601 &701. i know that the 501s are really crisp in the highs so they are good. What about grados? never listened to them with...

Well ive had a listen to a cheap looking sennheiser that does not exist on the internet and it really does quite nicely. it is called and the ms80 and it does not sound much like the px100 at all. It has reasonably crisp highs, dryish midrange and only moderate bass.(is this really a senn) i...

I was listening to a well recorded acoustic song today on my dads hifi system with Quad 63 ESLs and found it exquisite and rich and all those things. When i went in to my room to listen at night on my computer (where i am right now) i noticed heaps more detail. I am using the etymotic er6i...

Where is the best place to buy new akg k601s? Not used or b stock, NEW. Any help will be much appreciated!

I would like to know what is a good rock system for less than 400 bucks. (amp and cans) i like grados but i dont know what to amp them with. i dont like bloated or boomy bass. i would like the bass to be a little more than the ety er6i but not much. Hopefuly, after this i can finally decide on...

I know about the airhead but im not very well read with amps so i was wondering if there is an alternative? Thanks

i am interested in hearing which is more popular and id be betting that other people are too.

Im intrested in knowing what headphones sound like grados but are not them (including alessandros). Roughly 150 bucks. Thanks

yup i just said it. Any help would be greatly appiciated!!!
