    TRINITY - PHANTOM Series - New thread + WORLDS FIRST PUSH PULL HYBRID IEM!*

    Are people having fit problems with the PM4? This is my first pair of Trinity IEMs, but i'm having a huge issue getting a good fit, and they start to hurt my ears after only about 10 minutes.    To give you some perspective, i'm coming from the Westone 1s and I used the Shure Olive tips. Those...

    TRINITY - PHANTOM Series - New thread + WORLDS FIRST PUSH PULL HYBRID IEM!*

    Random question for people in this thread. My current pair of IEMs use the Shure Olives as tips, which I absolutely love. Are there any tips similar to the Shure Olives that fit the PM4? As it's my understanding that Shure Olives won't fit on the PM4.

    TRINITY - PHANTOM Series - New thread + WORLDS FIRST PUSH PULL HYBRID IEM!*

    @Bobtrinity any chance of posting pictures of the different PM4 colors? Wanting to pull the trigger while pre-order pricing is still in effect, but not knowing how Matte Black looks is making it quite difficult.

    Finding a replacement for my beloved Westones

    Hi Head-Fi -- it's been a while!   Unfortunately, the right IEM on my Westone 1s is dying. Before that I had Westone 3s that also suffered a similar fate. While I absolutely love the Westone sound, their reliability is not good enough for me to feel comfortable dropping another couple hundred...

    Westone 3 Replacement

    Hey HeadFi,   Unfortunately, over the past week my trusty Westone 3's have developed a cable issue (right IEM is cutting in and out when the cable moves). They're about 3 years old, so i'm a bit dsiappointed they didn't last longer, but what you can do. I'm looking to replace them with an IEM...

    Alternatives to Mad Dog w/ Alpha Pads ~$400

    I honestly wouldn't be able to tell you. I can say that I loved the sound signature of the Mad Dogs, but I do wish it had a tiny bit more bass slam. I've heard the Mad Dog Pro is a bit like this. I haven't had a ton of exposure to a bunch of different headphone unfortunately. The other...

    Alternatives to Mad Dog w/ Alpha Pads ~$400

    Yup, i've been talking to him (Dan), he's been very helpful. I'm still hoping we can figure out a solution, just trying to get a sense for what my other options are if we can't figure out a solution.

    Alternatives to Mad Dog w/ Alpha Pads ~$400

      In terms of music I listen to a good amount of jam bands (mostly Phish), rock (Black Keys, Houndmouth), electronica (Pretty Lights, Glitch Mob, Daft Punk) and a good amount of 90s hip hop. So it's a pretty good variety. In terms of sound signatures that I like (and excuse my incorrect...

    Alternatives to Mad Dog w/ Alpha Pads ~$400

    I received a new pair of Mad Dogs (with Alpha Pads) last week and have been absolutely loving the sound signature and almost everything about them. Unfortunately, unlike the previous version I had (the one with the Dog Pads) this new version leaks sound like crazy, which makes these un-useable...

    **MrSpeakers Mad Dog: Impressions and Discussion Thread**

    Is this something that happened with the addition of the Alpha Pads? Some other sonic changes that happened with the 3.2s? All I know is this didn't happen with my old Mad Dogs w/ Dog Pads.

    **MrSpeakers Mad Dog: Impressions and Discussion Thread**

    I just got the new Mad Dogs (I had the old 3.0 version with Dog Pads) and while I love the sound am running into an issue with sound leakage. My old Mad Dogs didn't leak any sound, while the new version is leaking enough sound such that co-workers 4-5 feet away can pick out the exact song i'm...

    *Official Schiit Magni/Modi 2 ( Uber ) Thread*

    Just wanted to report back. I finally got my Magni 2 Uber in on Friday, but couldn't start playing with it until Saturday night because of a missing RCA cable. With a grounded setup (e.g. my Macbook Pro was plugged into the wall charger with the long cord + ground pin) there is absolutely no hum...

    *Official Schiit Magni/Modi 2 ( Uber ) Thread*

      Hey Jason,   Appreciate you coming in here and clearing up what's happening. From a tactical perspective, does the hum only occur when the unit is ungrounded (because none of the devices in the chain are grounded), or will it occur all the time? Regardless, I agree, this feels like a very...

    *Official Schiit Magni/Modi 2 ( Uber ) Thread*

      I'm a bit confused here, and I actually know electronics (more on the digital side) a bit. Looking at the wall-wart for the Magni 2 Uber, it doesn't seem like it can be grounded, theres no ground pin. If that's the case, where is the ground for the Magni 2 Uber coming from? For instance, I...

    *Official Schiit Magni/Modi 2 ( Uber ) Thread*

      Just got an email from Nick at Schiit. If you experience any issues right out of the box that they deem to be a warranty repair, they just swap out the units (it's not a repair) and they pay for shipping back to them -- so your not on the hook for anything. My assumption is this only applies...

    *Official Schiit Magni/Modi 2 ( Uber ) Thread*

    Not even ordered yet, just covering all my bases before I do. But I would love to order it tomorrow so it ships out Monday, and would prefer to order it directly from them rather than Amazon, so they get most of the cash.

    *Official Schiit Magni/Modi 2 ( Uber ) Thread*

      Ah ok, that's great to know. I was honestly just basing it off the site literature:     Ill email them and see whats up and post back here what their answer is.

    *Official Schiit Magni/Modi 2 ( Uber ) Thread*

        How does Schiit deal with situations like this? If you receive a product where the build quality isn't up to snuff or is defective in some way from the get-go they will obviously replace it under warranty, but will they pay shipping back to them? Literature on the website seems to...

    Best closed headphones ~300

      Take this quick comparison with a huge grain of salt, because I've never actually done a comparison before.   The best way I can describe it, is anemic in comparison. That's not to say the MH40 doesn't sound great, it does, but the bass didn't extend for me (when listening to things like...

    *Official Schiit Magni/Modi 2 ( Uber ) Thread*

    The chassis upgrade is nice, but not worth the extra money to me. I'm not great at the audio engineering side of things, what do the Gain Stage and Power Supply upgrades mean in terms using it with planar ortho headphones like the MD's?

    *Official Schiit Magni/Modi 2 ( Uber ) Thread*

    Quick follow up to my original questions: Is it worth it to upgrade to the Uber if all ill be using the Magni for is the Mad Dog 3.2? I won't ever be plugging active speakers into it, so this is strictly for the headphones. 
  24. DSchwartz88

    *Official Schiit Magni/Modi 2 ( Uber ) Thread*

    Has anyone used the Magni 2 with the Mad Dog 3.2? Heavily considering getting one and wondering how it pairs with the Mad Dogs.    What about operating temperature wise? Does the Magni 2 run hot at all, like some of the other Schiit gear?

    **MrSpeakers Mad Dog: Impressions and Discussion Thread**

    I've got a question regarding comfort, weight, and size if anyone has some experience with the older Mad Dogs w/ Dog Pads vs. the new ones w/ Alpha Pads. I recently sold my Mad Dogs (which had dog pads), and am regretting it, because I honestly just can't find any closed headphones that match...
