    WA3 or WA6 for HD 700?

    Hello fellow head-fiers, I'm ordering a pair of HD700 in a few weeks and I'm looking for an amp to pair with them. I'm stuck between the wa3 and wa6. Ideally I would want the wa7 but that is out of my budget. I plan to also get a Schiit bifrost down the line but an amp is more pressing at the...

    Signature Pro vs. LCD-2 vs. T1

    I've been searching for weeks on a comparison of these 3 but one doesn't exist. I mainly listen to electronica, a lot of down tempo and atmospheric music, also jazz and classical and hip hop. Don't listen to rock so its not a factor which headphone is better with rock music.   I have a...

    How much would a good rig for the HD800 cost?

    Now I know this is a high end headphone and sounds great already but my question is for the rig components behind it. For example if you get a sports/luxury car, you have to use premium products for it. Does this also apply for the HD800?

    Seems like that IE8 train is gaining steam

    i noticed the waves of members please and surprised by how good the IE8 are. probably since the sound they produce hasn't been made by a single dynamic driver IEM before. it looks as though the W3 wave is crashing on the beach as the IE8 continue to rise. i guess that delay happens when its an...
