Hello all, I apologize if this has been posted already - I could not find it using the search function. I have two pair of earphones, (1 worth about $100, and other about $150), and both of them are having cable issues. I'm led to believe its the fault of the IEM and not the cable since they...

I'm looking to purchase the S.E.X. kit w/ the C4S (and possibly with the impedance changing option) from the Bottlehead.   I thought if there was would be any other potential member interested in purchasing one with me to save some money (around $60), and to discuss the build itself along the...

I just got myself a HE-400 that is on the way, and I'm not sure how much I would benefit from getting a new amplifier, as well as how I would go about connecting the new amplifier with my current Nuforce Icon HD.   Nuforce Icon HD, which I believe is pretty much the same to its big brother...

My left side just shot out Is it the cable or the driver? How do I check? If the driver is "dead", that means there is no way I could send them for a re-shelling, right? ...Or is there?

NWZ-S639FBLK | 16GB S Series Walkman® Video MP3 Player | Sony | Sony Style USA Possibly one of the best MP3 deal of the year (for me anyways). I ordered one last month for 89.99, so I just called Sonystyle and they refunded me for the differences. One of the best MP3 players I've owned...

So I'm trying to get started with a basic speaker set, but I'm pretty clueless as to how the whole thing works, so here I am. Right now I have some Altec Lansing VS2621, which are incredibly simple to use (plug in the power cord, and they have the aux cord which you just plug into your MP3...

Hello, I just bought a DAC / home amp combo set for my computer, and I can't seem to get it to work. I have a TEC 7510 (link: Hifi-Shop-Nunsdorf.de TC-7510 Digital-Analogue-Converter) And a Levry Sound LS-2500 amp (link: Leyva Sound Headphone Amplifiers) The DAC has 2 optical + 2...

I'm thinking of getting a nice full-sized headphone as I'm going to university soon. As of now, my setup cannot handle full-sized headphones, and I would like to upgrade. I can either upgrade my computer source, or upgrade the imod source. Would it be a smarter choice to invest in a vcap...

Given: one broken set of Shure 530 IEMs coming to my house + possibly one set of TF10s. Choices: 1 - Custom tips + custom recabling. Total cost excluding impressions for Shure 530s = 100 + 130 + ~40 bucks for impressions. = ~270. For TF10s, it should be about 200 dollars total. Waiting...

Out of Shure 500/530, Westone 3s, Sennheiser IE8s, (Phonak?). I didn't include other high end IEMs like Etys or TF10s because I've tried them and they hurt when I wear them. Portable amp will be something higher end (2move, Ibasso D3, or ???) used through Ipod lineout (diymodding is planned...

Does ~280 USD shipped to my house sound like a good deal for a M3 amplifier? PSU is included along w/ RCA interconnects. Since it's a DIY amp, I"m really not sure how much these amplifiers cost to make... nor how much they sell for. Thanks!

So I just got a RSA Mustang, and I attached it to my Cowon D2, and all my headphones doesn't seem to get much of an improvement...... Except for the AKG 414P, which cost me 25 dollars. Following are my headphones (I use all of them for portable ): Yuin PK1, PK2, Klipsch X5, Shure SCL4...

iminlikewithyou - the place for multiplayer games. Game Blockles. Anybody play tetris here?

Is there any way I can check the names of those I messaged in the past through the PM system? There is a member I want to contact but I cleaned up my in / outbox (curse the 100 limit ) and forgot his screenname. I tried going through the Member list but it's ridiculous and I gave up after...

So if I'm driving the PK1 or OK1s, which are both 150 Ohms, will the Fuze benefit from usage of a portable amp? I understand that the Fuze doesn't have a true line-out and it'll be needed to be connected via headphone-out, but I personally don't mind carrying a portable amp around with me as...

I have a Cowon D2 w/ E3 & a Mini^3 high performance version. I've decided to try the Yuin earbuds and is now debating on whether to order the PK1, OK2, or the OK1. PK1 costs 160 dollars, while the OK2s cost 130. OK1s cost 230. I plan to amp the Cowon D2, especially if it will make a...

Tried: Livewires (returned for bad fit,) Atrio M5s (don't really like their bass heavy signature,) Triple Fis (loved the sound signature but the bad fit almost damaged my ears,) Custom-3s (good overall, but want something better) Kept: Super fi 3s, Debating to return: Custom-3s. I...

Can the player read Korean & any other Asian languages? Two of the players I have right now can't read it and it really doesn't matter to me how good a player is if I can't understand read what 2/3 of my songs are. Also, I haven't been able to find any US websites to order the 639, so I was...

So I'm trying to recable the KSC75s, and I want them to recable w/ best cable possible while staying under 30-40 bucks. With that said, I'm trying to order from this site: Homegrown Audio Co. | pure silver audio cables - Products - Silver Braid I see many different # of strands... so...

I'm about to purchase a used Ultrasone 780J from another member of head-fi, but I'm mostly going to be using them for portable, so I need them to be terminated with 1/8. I've done some basic search on these... and I came up with such varying results in price that it's getting me confused...

With a ~500 dollar budget for an amp/DAC unit, I've concluded that I'll order either #1) The Predator #2) The Pico w/ DAC or #3) Zero DAC with Pico w/o DAC [or maybe some other amp w/o DAC here] So the question is: If I am going to be ordering a portable amplifier for sure, is it...

With the frustration of IEMs (mostly fit problems,) I decided that I want to get the Denon1001s for my next portable phones. I heard lot of people talk about the superiority of the 2000s over the 1000s (1001s,) but 2000s is not an option for me as I feel it is too big to wear around in...

I've just recently been starting to notice how much I like my SR-60s... so much that it finally convinced me (my poor wallet) to upgrade them to better ones. These upgrades will be mostly used at home, on my computer. Right now I use an integrated sound-card that came with my Dell. I'm not...

After much hassle, I had decided to order the Super-Freqs. Because these were going to be my final IEMs for a while, I wanted them to be as perfect as possible. I have a friend who works at Monster Cables, and I had asked him if he could get me some custom wires for me as the ones that comes...
