Just looking for anybody who has owned the HE400i and found what models in the Hifiman line of Planar's offered the most noticeable upgrade? I'm interested in the Anando Nano.

Having read some very positive reviews about Lake People phone amps I'm considering purchasing. I was just wondering if anyone is familiar with differences between the G111, G105 MKII and G103 MKII models? Is the G111 the better out of the bunch? I can't find any reviews of the G105 MKII.

The right headphone on my HE400i is losing it's connection. A wiggle of the headphone cable normally gets it back but it seems to be getting worse. Is this normally an indication of a bad cable or a problem with the headphone?

I'm looking for a desktop amp to pair with my Hifiman HE400i planars. I plan to run a line out from my SoundBlaster X-AE5 PCIe soundcard to the headphone amplifier. In this case I assume the X-AE5 will continue to work as the DAC. I had liked the idea of a tube amp but after doing some research...

I'm experiencing audio pops and blips with my SB X-AE5. I'm getting them while gaming, skipping through Youtube videos and itunes music playback. I seem to be having trouble with the drivers but don't know if it's a direct cause. I have both the new Sound Blaster Command installed as well as the...

I'm looking at moving my PC build into a Lian Li 011 and want to mount my GPU vertically with a PCIe riser. Essentially this blocks off the use of the other PCIe slots for such things like my Sound Blaster AE5. So I thought maybe I could simply replace the AE5 with an external amp like the...

I thinking of getting one of these molded wooden headphone stands, I have provided a link with images. My question is do these type of stands lead to long term stretching of the headphone? http://gadgetur.com/products/omega-wooden-headphones-stand/

I've had my HiFiMan HE400i for almost year now, I brought them used with very little use and in very good condition. I always suspected the metallic paint on the ear cups would be fingerprint magnets and they are but recently I have begun to notice more and more scratches in the paint, some very...

My motherboard sound has been acting up lately. I've always been quite keen on moving to a headphone amp/DAC and right now it appears as a must. I would like the best of both worlds gaming and music. My idea was that I could run an internal or external soundcard for my surround sound gaming...

Can anyone instruct me on how the ear pads come off the Takstar Pro 80? Original pads have finally worn through... Thanks :)

Hi, I'm a bit noob in regards to what's available out there for enabling surround to a stereo headset, should I be looking at some sort of DSP or software based solution? I'm interested in this for gaming. Most people tend to recommend a good headphone with a clip on microphone over the gaming...

I've just brought a pair of Takstar Pro 80 headphones after someone pointed them out to me and then reading some good reviews on them. So far they sound quite good, an improvement over my Sennheiser HD212. I've been thinking about getting an external amp and am wondering if I would get a better...
