I had read the same re shure's on the tonal shift, Ill check out Venture Electronics I am far from loaded but happy to invest when the time is right heh, but I am totally in the dark when it comes to balanced so china suits me for now. Hey if it sounds great I will be all over that Audeze i4...

Thanks for taking time to reply, I used to have quite allot of gear that could potentially take advantage of balanced but now that is limited to a portable AK70mk2 looking into cables presently for shure535 and isine to try it, very little options found for isine outside of aliexpress no doubt...

One last post don't want to be that over eager dude that annoys the hell out of everyone with his over enthusiastic multi posts but... I have read the majority of this thread skipped here and there and don't have a definitive answer on how are people finding the isines balanced? Seen a few posts...

PS all this talk of filters and roon grabbed a trial this evening where has this program been all my life its brilliant, one thing Tidal does not do well is send you on journey based on your local catalogue and favourites you need to know what you want, roon offers up tastes of music to explore...

Well BR777 I think I prefer the original one pal, that said I have changed my mind on the AK after a bit more of a play it has a 10 band eq that actually works and it does indeed sound better with eq with the isine that said it sounded better straight up than my DFR. Anyway I feel I chop and...

Thank you I certainly will give them a go after work tomorrow. I picked up an AK70 Mk2 from richer sounds on the way home from work yesterday the isines are sounding great out of that without EQ but on PC that APO EQ is a absolute godsend thanks.

EDIT: spoke to soon destroys the noise floor save your money do not bother with EQ app. To answer my own question of any alternatives to viper4android that do not require root having some success with this EQ system wide working with Tidal too, tried many on the store this is working best for...

A few more hours on-board #batshitcrazy they are for the form factor which was a big part of my curiosity to try they are not full size LCD's but amazing none the less, been away from the audio head fi scene for a good 12 month's but the isine 10 has very much re-ignited that gas would love to...

Took delivery of some 10's a couple of hours ago super happy with them, last open backed planar I owned was an LCD 2 Fazor which I loved well I loved the sound signature but in the end sold due to weight/comfort issues these are such a refreshing change for me really comfortable. Just a quick...

appologies for posting an ebay link please stop :)   Have fun.   Rob

Sadly not getting any time to use my H10 / M8 if anyone in the UK is after one at a bargain tastic price with bursons mine just went up on Ebay.   http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=291984661195#ht_500wt_1156   EDIT: M8 also on the bay now.   Have fun guys.   Rob

Pa not a foresale add was just super chuffed.. first time been able to sit back not constantly adjust and just feel how great these headphones are. #softlad

From head tortuure ear orgasams thanks Fay hehe 2minute skills

I love my missus a quick fleeting comment about how much I adore these headphones other than comfort 10minutes before she popped off to work. knocked me up a Audeze comfort sausage before work with promises of better later well for a couple of mins on the machine In am well my head is in happy...

#drivel its good though major bang for buck.   #JDnCoke and good SMSL tunes for the weekend ahead.

A techie that wants less options..   M8 landed and now many hours later pushing tha filter button...   (****many maybe not audiophile many a days fiddle) hours later yes.... I am in a happy place.   It's a funny old game was sitting pretty my oppo's had gone some LCD's had landed my...

After much reading just took a punt on the M8, been using a Dragonfly Red (9016) mostly of late very much like the sound signature on the go and will continue to use it on the go with an Iphone/Sure535.  But wanted a standalone DAC for home use been using the DF Red at home but re-amping it not...

Never got to have much of a play yesterday as my work shift turned into a mess ended up 18hour torture session working in IT sucks followed by a back in for another session five hours later. Quiet now on the work front thankfully!! Having a quick look for OP-Amps in the UK just to have a play...

Got fingers and toes crossed been jotting down the wealth of info in this thread including a bit amp rolling info all much appreciated I might add. Will be LCD 2f first as it seems to have come up allot as a good pairing. DAC wise without amping an amp my choices are fairly limited no doubt be a...

Got to page 170 yesterday afternoon and just couldn't resist anymore broke down and took the plunge an hour later H10 was despatched and now according the missus a rather large box is sat at home waiting for me. Bought from a true gent on eBay wish all eBay purchases were like that. Looked to...

Quick question not answered yet at the point of thread I am upto. With burn in, in mind one shot deal? or is there a feeling of having to burn in each gain stage/setting. Maybe a daft question.

Not quite got up to op-amp rolling yet in this thread did see a few melting posts having a sneak peek before hitting the thread up from the beginning :) I like the idea though a nice option to have.

This forum is such a wonderful but dangerous place, just gives you major GAS.  In the last six months been getting so wrapped up in Head-Fi gear lurking around here and loving it a middle age guy having such a midlife tune crisis.     My go-to head wear at present is AKG 702 Annies, and more...

Was a comfort rather than sound thing for me they hurt the top of my head, kept them for just under four months as I did enjoy them other than the comfort issue, thought they may bed in but alas no. That and needed to claw a bit cash back after buying some new Audeze LCD 2s ironic really...

Off work tomorrow chilling a little JD chilling in audio bliss, honeymoon period still in full effect may it never end, I soooo love these headphones.  I so do not care they way two stone no pain no gain.  It's love this one.
