    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...

    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...

    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...

    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%...

    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...

    Desperation Mod of Sony 51s

    Okay it is sorta more of a repair than a mod but still. Well here is what happened. My Shure E2c's broke (second time, so it is in service/repair), my other pair of Sony MDR-EX51's got ran over by about 4-6 cars (bought as a replacement for an older pair of broken EX51's which are modded below)...

    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...

    Advice Needed before UE trip!

    Well here is the situation. I need a new pair of IEMs and considering either the Shure E4 or UE super.fi 5 Pro's. I have read some initial impressions and it is concluded that well: the Superfi's has amazing bass, good mids but rolled off highs. However the E4s, according to most, has better...

    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...

    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...

    Hey guys, I currently have all my music in AAC , 192 kbps and 128 kbps music from the iTunes Music Store. Is this an acceptable quality? I have notice, some problems with the lows, though it is much better than my mp3s at 160 kbps. I am thinking about redoing my CD collection to AAC 256kbps...
