OK, "novice" might be  a stretch, but I am somewhat confused and need some guidance.   Here's my situation:   Apple MacBook Pro 15" 15000 songs via iTunes iPod Classic iBasso T3 with their DLO to mini connector LiveWires Trips Audio Engine A5 and AS8 set up in my office  ...

I am have a set of IEM that really need an amp to drive them, SO - I have an iBasso T3.  When I use my iPod, I have a nice DLO from iPod to iBasso...beautiful   BUT, now that I am doing more laptop work and am listening to things from my laptop (iTunes library, etc) my mini connector that I...

OK, I have just north of 16,000 songs in my iTunes library.  I know that with the new iCloud, I will always be able to access them on my iPhone, but looking for something a step beyond that even.   What I would like is a database of my music and an app that could scan (via the iPhone) a cd...

OK - I got the idea of this thread the other day when I was listening to Seal's cover of "Fly LIke an Eagle."  What a GREAT cover of Steve Miller's classic from the 70s.   What other covers are out there that people really should hear.  There are plenty of ones out there that should have...

OK, have recently discovered some new music TO ME.  I am sure you all have seen/heard them all before, but I have really gotten into them and not sure where they really fit in the genre world.   I am anal about my Library and like to keep things neat, organized and use the organization to...

OK-   So, last November I bought a pair of LiveWire Trips.  To do this I had to go to audiologist ($75) and then waited about 6 or 7 weeks to get them ($349.)  When I got them I was not very impressed with the overall sound...real tinny and not much depth or fullness.  I spoke with John (the...

As I am (hopefully) getting an iPad next week for my big 4-0, I am wanting to add to my list of e-connections some good blogs and RSS  news feeds.   I have asked around on another forum (totally not related to music) and have gotten some good suggestions.   I thought I would ask this...

Alright, I have two songs rattling in my memory banks, but not enough clarity to locate them via any search engine.  SO - I thought I would ask some fellow music geeks and see if you all could help me.   FIRST:  "Stage" song   I will call this one the "Stage" song as it refers to a band...

OK - I am sure there are really expensive mixing programs out there, but I am looking for a more inexpensive way to blend music, making cool "remixes" on my own.  I have never done anything like this before, but think it would be a blast and pretty cool.  I have a pretty good ear for what goes...

OK - I have a pair of LiveWire Trips and am not really happy with the cables that came with the set-up.  I am getting some breaking in and out of the signal and it is exacerbated when I move the cable.  My guess is that it is the cable and not the IEM.   I am looking for someone who can make...

OK - this may not be in the right place, but I figured you all could advise me on where to ask the question.   I have a modest system in my living room (looking at some of your systems in the section tells me that I don't need to lurk in here too long or I will lose my wife and all my...

OK - here is my thought process.  There are certain songs when you hear them, you just say to yourself, "now that is one smooth/cool song."  And here are some of the ones that are on my list.   I would love to hear you thoughts on this topic as well so I can discover some new ultra-smooth...

OK - have my T3 in hand and my SE530 will be here on Monday. I have read that the best set up is for the EQ to be OFF on the iPod, but does that mean that I just have to turn it off on the iPod, or do I have to reset all the songs' EQ setting that I have placed on the music? If I need to...

OK - so, I have ordered and paid for a pair of custom IEMs from Company X. Ordered them about 5 weeks ago with the expectation of them being produced in about 2-3 weeks. I called and spoke to Comp X about 3 wks ago and was told "they are on the top of the production schedule and should be...

OK, I have my LiveWires Trips coming to me next week and I want to get one of the new iBasso T3 or T3D (not sure what the difference is going to be - waiting to hear back from them) and I need to connect the iBasso and my iPod. Do I get the $40 DLO cable from iBasso or do something better? I...

I am looking at getting a iBasso T3 and attach it to my iPod Classic 160gig. I am new to the amp scene and would love to know how to attach them to each other and your suggestions and PICS would be very much appreciated. Many thanks- Sproles

I am interested in the new T3 that is due out at the end of the month, but I am debating which color I should get. So, I thought I would request a picture of the GREY and/or SILVER next to a BLACK iPod Classic. Both side-by-side would be great, but if not, which ever you have would be...

I have an iPod classic and have some LiveWire Trips on order. I may be adding a iBasso T4 to the mix and am looking for something that will protect my not-so-cheap audio investment. I am all about some Pelican (and the like cases) but don't think the 1010 case is big enough for the ipod, IEMs...

OK - I am leaning towards getting either a T4 or the new T3 when it comes out soon. I have a pair of LiveWire Trips on order and want to add a nice "beginner's" amp to the system. I have an iPod Classic 160gig and am wondering how is the best way to connect (via cabling) the two items and then...

OK - I have been lurking for a while and have been looking for the pros/cons and the true "amount" of benefit of adding an amp to my ipod Classic 160gig. I have a pair of custom LiveWire Trips on order (actually ordering tomorrow once I get my molds made) and have been researching amps. If I...

OK - Been a lurker and learner for quite some time here and I am finally biting the bullet and going from (hold on and don't spew the coffee out when I tell you) from V-Moda Vibes to a pair of LiveWires Triple Drivers. I am getting fitted for my molds on Monday and sending off the molds that...
