    XM5 - AD8065 or LME49710?

    Ignoring the price difference in these two options, in a blind test, can you tell the difference between an XM5 with AD8065 and an XM5 with LME49710 op amps installed?  If so, what would the difference(s) be?

    e500 Tips Coming Off in Ear

    The Comply's come off in my ears. One of the grey Shure silicon tips came off in my ear one day also. I've tried cleaning the stems to make sure that they're not greasy from my fingers. What can I do?

    Does anyone know what the sound quality of Pandora's 192kbs (pay) stream is like? Is it noticeably better than the 128kbs (free) stream or not.

    Ipod LOD - ALO Cryo or Moon Blue Dragon

    I previously owned an ALO Cryo iPod LOD and was quite pleased with it. I'm considering getting Moon's Blue Dragon LOD. Any thoughts on which is better and why? My files are all 128 to 192kbs MP3's.

    UM1 - Lacking bass

    Just got my UM1's a couple of days ago. They're a huge step-up from my Senn CX-300's in the mid's and hi's, but the bass is severely lacking. The CX-300's are known for their darkness, but I'm really disappointed in the UM1's lack of low end. I'm using the standard Comply tips. Are their any...

    [Yet another] Please Recommend Headphones Thread

    My current rig is a 5.5 gen IPod, Total Bithead DAC/Amp, and Senn PX-100 headphones. I previously owned a Tomahawk and regretably sold it. Now I want it, or something like it, back. But, before I upgrade my amp, I want to upgrade my headphones. To give you an idea as to my music preferences...

    RSA Tomahawk , Mustang, Predator

    I previously owned a Tomahawk (and regretably sold it - now I want it, or something like it, back). So, using the Tomahawk 's sound profile as a reference, how does the Mustang and Predator compare (to the Tomahawk )? I realize the Predator is also a DAC (and that feature alone is worth...

    Mini3, Z-Audio, XM4, or MiniBox

    From the following list of amps, which would the experts recommend. I previously owned an RSA Tomahawk and truly loved it, but could not justify the cost of ownership. I will be driving it with a 5.5G iPod, using Senn CX300 buds and Senn PX100 phones. Aside from great sound (good tight...

    Tomahawk !!!

    My Tomahawk arrived today. When I opened the box and took out that tiny black box, my initial thought was, "I paid $295 for something this small?" Then, I plugged the Senn CX300's in and put on Boston's Third Stage album. All I can say is HOLY FREAKIN' COW!!!!!!! Tears came to my eyes as...

    Stole a Pair of Senn CX300's

    Two weeks ago, Circuit had Senn's on sale for $60 (down from $69.99). I placed a web order, to be picked up at one of three local stores. They have a "Ready in 24 minutes or they give you $24" offer. Sounded good to me. I showed up at the store that afternoon (4 hours later) and they...

    Spend my money for me

    This should give you an idea as to what type of music I like: Legendary rock like Boston (not including the Corporate America CD), Def Leppard, Jeff Healey, and Stevie Ray Vaughn's Rivera Paradise. Also, smooth jazz like Acoustic Alchemy, Najee, and Steve Laury. I want to spend around $500 to...

    When Do You Do IT?

    I've been reading here for about a month and have a question for you folks that own the high-end stuff like RSA amps, Grado headphones, ALO interconnects, etc... What are your listening habits? What I mean is, do you have this stuff at work and stay isolated all day long with your music, or...
