    Review: Bellatone Reference Cable for the HD800

    INTRODUCTION   This is my first after market cable for a full size phone, and while I have had some experience with after market cables for IEM’s, this is kind of a new world for me. Actually the full size headphone world is kind of new to me since I got the HD650 a year ago. But from there...

    Question regarding UE11 cable

    UE offers 2 different cables for the UE11. The one included with the product (which looks like the Westone UM2 one) or you can also purchase a thicker one which they also use for the UE10. Do you know if there is any difference in SQ between them? I was thinking on getting the thicker one for...

    RCA vs. Mini

    I have an RCA input amp (Lisa III) and I was wondering if there is much of a difference in SQ if I use a cable with mini for output from the source rather than RCA for output. The source have both options for output (RCA and Mini). If I decided to go for RCA t o RCA I will have to buy a new...

    Vinnie a petition to take into account when you mod the new classic

    Vinnie I really wish you can mod the 6 Gen so we can use the same Alo cables designed for the 5.5 gen. I mean I spent more than U$400 on those cables (Supper Cotton Dock and RCA to Mini Dock) so it would probably make me think twice if I have to purchase new cables again. What are the chances...

    Just plugged a 120V PSU on a 240V plug, is inevitable my PSU has been damaged??

    Currently I'm traveling in Argentina where there is 240V plugs. I didn't know this so I plugged my Elpac 120V PSU onto my amp and it didn't power it. So I tried again and nothing. I realized the input voltage issue so I took out the PSU form the plug. There wasn't any burnt smell or any broken...

    Ety ER4P >>>>>> ER4S

    Ok I spent almost US$ 40 on getting the P to S adaptor to get what?? the phones turn muddy and are very very inefficient. The Tomahawk cannot drive propertly the ER4S. If I set the high gain setting I need to turn up the vol too much and then tons of hiss and distortion. That said, the ER4p...

    Is there other way to recognize an Imod other than the badge?

    Is there any way other than the badge to recognize the 5.5 gen Imod ?. This because I received my Imod a few days ago but I´m not perceiving the HUGE difference in SQ most people seem to get vs. using he regular line out or even using the headphone jack.! I notice less sibiliance and hiss when...

    Imod question regarding encoding format

    Hi, I just ordered the new 5.5 gen Imod and reading on RWA site they say that Lossless formats should be used with this high end portable player. I hardly notice the difference between MP3 320 CBR and Losless (FLAC) when using my current rig: Creative Zen Vision M + Quablas LOD + Tomahawk...

    Which sleeve gives the best sound quality for Shure IEMs ?

    I recently just bought the Shure's E500 PTH. It is my first experience with high end IEMs so I was wondering which sleeves give the best sound quality. I have tried all of them but I'm still undecided between the PVC and the Triple Flange. I find the yellow foamie not as good on isolating but I...
