Review Tago Studio T3-01
I was in Japan and stopped by E-earphones in Tokyo. It's a large store in Akihabara with multiple floors all focused on headphones. One floor is wireless headphones, etc. The second to top floor is where the high end headphones are and they have them all out for you to listen to. As one does...- RyanRoloYo

Earsonics SM64: The Impressions Thread
It went surprisingly well! It took a little bit to identify where the issue was after I opened it; however, after a little bit of prying around it turned out that the resistor for the high frequency driver was moving within the casing and as a result, losing connection. Due to the wires...- RyanRoloYo

Earsonics SM64: The Impressions Thread
I had to do some repairs on my pair after the highest frequency driver on the right side kept cutting out and took a pic of the inside if anyone's interested. I was a little sad to see that the wiring was very tangled and unorganized.- RyanRoloYo

Earsonics SM64: The Impressions Thread
I bought a used pair of these a couple months ago and they've quickly become my favorite IEMs. Anyways, recently the highest frequency driver keeps cutting out on the right side, and is getting worse (wiggling the cable makes it connect sometimes, but other cables are having the same issue so...- RyanRoloYo

Official Schiit Vali 2 Thread
Does anyone else have volume imbalance between the left and right channel at low volumes? I notice it with both over ear headphones and IEMs. It's definitely noticeable up to a low-moderate volume level.- RyanRoloYo

AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread
I've never really believed in burn in, but the Nighthawk's might have changed that sentiment. They really do sound different than when I initially bought them. The bass has definitely decreased and they overall sound more open and less muddy. This is not to say however that they are a...- RyanRoloYo

Earsonics SM64: The Impressions Thread
Does anyone have experience with both the sm64s and the Velvets? I was wondering if the difference is worth the ~200 dollar difference.- RyanRoloYo

Official Schiit Vali 2 Thread
Currently using the Vali 2 with Audioquest Nighthawks. Some first impressions comparing against the line out from my Macbook. The bass seems to have more extension and is more textured. The highs seem to have more extension as well, although they are more 'chunky' and perhaps just...- RyanRoloYo

AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread
Do you have any recommendations of some good orchestral music? I've listened to some classical here and there throughout the years, but I've been slightly overwhelmed by how much quantity and variety there is.- RyanRoloYo

AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread
One instrument that blew me away more than anything else when using the NHs is trumpet. It's frequency is high enough that the strong mid-bass doesn't kick in, leading to a super smooth and clean sound which when combined with the NH's dark signature, means there's also an absence of sibilance...- RyanRoloYo

Ortofon e-Q8 Impressions Thread (new 2014 successor of the e-Q7 / e-Q5)
Does anyone have any impressions of the soundstage of the eg-8 with reference to the eq-5? I found the eq-5 to have a wide soundstage to the left and right, but not much up, down, in, or out.- RyanRoloYo

FIDUE A83 impressions and discussion thread
I just want to say that I have had my pair for about a year now and they are holding up extremely well. Usually by now my IEMs have at least some cosmetic damage, but these have zero. With how much I've used these at home and out and about, I'm just amazed there are no issues. Seriously...- RyanRoloYo

AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread
Does anyone have any amp recommendations for the NH? From what I've read they seem to be pretty sensitive with the pairing. Would a cooler sounding amp balance out the darkness, should I embrace it and buy a dark amp, or is it best to just find a balanced amp? Also, is an external DAC...- RyanRoloYo

I bought HE 400i's on newegg through a third party seller. I guess there was an error with inventory and they ran out of stock, so they offered me the Nighthawks. I'm pretty happy to say the least :)- RyanRoloYo
