Just Ordered Possibly Last Go-Vibe Ever!
I was interested in a Go-Vibe for a long time. Then yesterday, I decided to send Norm my PayPal payment for a V4 Go-Vibe with an OPA2227 op-amp (he ran out of Brown Dog adapters so I couldn't get a AD8620). His reply: Quote: Hi Phong, You just made it and got the last one! Your...- phong

Love Shure Cust. Service, but want Westone IEMs
I will be leaving for college in a number of months . . . and for some reason, I wanted to buy some Grados or Alessandro MS-1's but I am always running back to IEMs. I guess I like the isolation and the portability. I have the muddy-sounding Shure E2c's. Not bad, could live with them. But...- phong

Received KSC-35s . . . bass outta control
Bought some Koss KSC-35's because obviously they have such a good rep here. Wanted something cheap for a portable rig, because my Shure E2c's has been boring me, it isolates but there is no soundstage and sounds muffled. I was planning to purchase some Grado's, SR-60s, 80s, or go for...- phong

Cnet you gotta be joking me...
Cnet has a 'Sunday Smackdown' between the Shure E4c and the B*se QuietComfort 2. IMO, I think Cnet reviews are horrible (i usually look elsewhere, especially a site targeted at the product's market) I obviously voted for the E4c's and at the time of this writing, it is leading with 69.4%...- phong

SM-3 Price!?
I respect Dr. Xin and his products. So much so that I really want to buy one of his amps. I was considering the arrival of the Supermini but apparently that isn't going to happen anytime soon. The Supermacro has generated numerous positive reviews and while some question the upgrade issue...- phong

Any Luck with Shure Service Upgrade?
Here is my question: I have just sent my Shure E2c's in late last week. I was browsing around head-fi, and saw the possibility of upgrading for a fee to the E4s instead of getting a new pair of E2c's back from service. A user asked and Sugarfried gave the phone number and it sounded like a...- phong

Comparison BTW HD 580 and HD 595 . . 600
I guess I have decided on some new cans, either the Sennheiser HD 580 or the HD 595. I know there has been a thread in comparing the two (thread here) but it did not help me draw a conclusion. I plan to use either one with an amp, so yes they will be amped. I am planning maybe a customized...- phong

ER-6i over E3/E3c's?
I will be needing to upgrade from my Shure E2c's (which are currently broken and I am on my second pair). I do not know if I can trust Shure reliability or maybe it is because of my unfortunate luck. However, I have been looking much into the ER-6i, as it matches in color with my iPod but most...- phong
