I've been out of the hi-fi loop for a while now, especially with iems. A long time ago I owned the original hifiman re-0s which I loved but had terrible build quality.and they broke. I'm in search of something with a similar sound that is neutral with good build quality. Another important thing...

I ask this because I recently received the Mad Ear amp and the amp was designed around the HD-600s and Grados so I had huge expectations. I do have the oldest version of the HD-600s (black cloth drivers) but I was left unimpressed (same with Sr-225, biggest difference in sound was bass quality...

I was wondering what everyone's opinions are on what a Mid-Fi set up consists of and at what price range. I know people could list a thousand different combinations of amps, DACs and headphones so I'm more curious to know at what price point do you consider a set up hi end? Does it have to hit...

I'm highly considering getting the Alessandro MS-2e after auditioning my friend's MS-1e (the drivers are red) and have noticed they actually compare very favorably to my old Grado SR-225. The MS-1e to my ear has a much more 3d presentation to the music, air and separation is much greater for...

I've been out of the hi-fi loop for a while now.What's the best value amp in this price range. If it's a USB/DAC amp as well that'd be a plus. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure why, but I have two orthos the Yamaha YH-1s and YH-3s. The YH-1s willl have problems at times where one side will not produce sound, and other times it will come back. I'd say this happens maybe 10 - 25% of the time. My YH-3s were fine for a while, then when I sold them, they...

Pretty good deal, I'd say.. http://sellout.woot.com/Default.aspx?WootSaleId=14568&ts=1278396919&sig=675892ad2db04de1

I really like the RE-0s they are some of my favorite headphones period. But, I'd like a full-size headphone version of them. I've listened to a few, and nothing really captures the tone and smoothness like the RE-0s do (check my profile for the headphones I've listened to). I've heard headphones...

I understand that the Muse and Radiohead are quite a bit different but, there seems to be a tiny generation gap between Muse and Radiohead (but vocally they seem quite similar). Seems people of the age of 17-20 enjoy Muse or are not even really aware of Radiohead, while people over the age of 20...

Could anyone tell me the warmest, mid-centric DAPs? I ask cause I really like my RE-0s, but if they were a tad warmer, with a slight push and added lushness to the midrange it would put it over the top, and I think I'd have audio bliss on the move. I think I remember reading the Creative Zen...

Anyone from head-fi going to the show on Oct 1? Going to be my first Wilco show hopefully it is a good one. Can anyone comment on his live performances? Are they good?

I've never owned a quality IEM, only headphones, I made a thread earlier bout wanting to buy $50 iems, but now I kind of want to go semi-all out and am considering the RE-0s. I'm a little bit afraid of the build quality, I want them to last a long time. Also as a point of reference for sound...

Trying to find a decent pair of IEMs for walking around campus or riding the bus, would like to keep my budget below $60. What would you say is the best choice for rock/acoustic music.

They are refurbished units. I might have to get myself one, slightly cheaper then the Buy.com deal. Woot Sellout

So, I'm trying to visit my friends in Texas for a while and my friend was messing around trying to find a ticket for $1 and he came up with this. Can anyone explain what is going on? https://travel.priceline.com/travel/...=pcln&path=bak

Hi, I'm fairly new to the jazz genre, and would like to hear more jazz like this song Harlem Nocturne. Any suggestions would be great thanks. Oops! This is in the wrong section sorry guys, mods if you could move this thread to the music section that would be great, thanks. YouTube - Sam...

This is bribery yes? I wonder how many will actually stick with IE after this hunt is over with. Ten Grand is Buried Here | Microsoft Australia

So, which headphones does this amp like the most? I currently have Alessandro MS-1s and Ultrasone HFI-780s, though those are going away soon. Currently, my source is just a Sony D-15, but I'll hopefully be getting a better source or DAC someday. Can this drive most cans, minus the K-1000?

I find my head-fi journey a bit frustrating so far. It's not that I haven't listened to good headphones, but nothing has made my jaw drop yet, or made me truly impressed. A lot of this is due to the fact that my headphone experience is quite limited, so I've sold all my headphones so that it can...

I've been reading threads on the Sony NW-HD5 and I've read that it doesn't have a true lineout. Is this bad, cause I'm not sure what it exactly means? Does it not benefit as much from an amp compared to an I-pod?

I was wondering if the Yuin PK3 were better then KSC 75 sound quality wise. Also are there any other worthy contenders in the $40 or less price range.

I was wondering if the black Grado SR-325 driver was the same as the pre "i" silver Grado SR-325. Is there any difference besides material? Also are they still the same when comparing the newest silver Grado SR-325i?

Has anyone used one of these, I kind of like the walkman look, but was wondering if the sound quality was any good.

I found these really interesting Grado RS-1s with metal rings around them. Anyone know a history behind this model or did someone just replace them with the metal rings? I've never seen RS-1s like these before. By the way I'm in no way affiliated with the seller, just curious. I wonder if...
