Hello All! Thought I would throw this one out there for a general concensus on what should be next for me. Please have heard at least 2 of the players I own, or are targeting--speak only from first-hand experience please. I currently own (as my go-to daily drivers) AK SP2000CU, which I like...

Hello All. I think I need to upgrade my monitor for the ongoing work-from-home world in which I currently find myself. I have some specific criteria to satisfy, but really do not have a way to go look at monitors in any useful way these days.... I currently have an HP 2310M, which is still...

Upgraditis has me pondering a dap purchase. I am thinking about the Cayin N8 and the A&K SP1000. Oddly, I am also podering the DX200, even though my taste runs more to the warm side of neutral. I have quite a few good daps now, and will probably thin the herd after my new player arrives. I've...

So, I bounce back and forth from wanting a single-box solution vs. a 'stack' for on-the-go music-listening. I use my portable gear on walks, as well as at the local coffee shop for lunch breaks, and will also listen while grocery shopping, etc... I am a big guy, and all of my clothes have...

What specific TOTL headphones would you acquire if you were interested in covering the widest range of 'sonic signatures' with the fewest number of headphones? In other words, if you already have XXX, you wold want YYY to complement it, trather than ZZZ, which is already quite similar.... I'm...

Hello all. I have been comparing several headphone amps lately, using my Alpha Prime, Utopias, Nighthawks, and borrowed HD800....... In the conjunction with listening-test comparisons the Violectric 280, Phonitor X (and E), and the new Luxman P-750u, I discovered the following power specs- and...

In my typical, 'shoot first, ask questions later' purchasing style, I bought this some time ago-in fact too long ago to return it, so I thought this would be as good a time as any to ask whether this sort of item, or this one in particular, is recommended for periodic maintenance of iems- and if...

So, what seduced you into the fold, what is keeping you there now, and where would you be if price and availability were no object?  I know there are different signatures, and each has their following, but there is a certain kind of sound that dynamics give, that a BA seems not to be able to...

I have rediscovered that I really love the way that dynamic driver iems present the music, specifically percussion, and their slam and wallop in the bass.  It's not about the quantity or the frequency, it's more about capturing the whole wave, from leading edge, through the bloom,and into the...

Hello all,   I had an Epson R1900 printer, but it no longer works.  I have a bunch of ink cartridges (except for the gloss toner).  They are factory sealed, but have pretty old date codes 2008-ish and newer.  I'd kind'a like to sell them off for a fair price, plus shipping, but don;t know...

Hello all.  My printer is acting up and i do not think it is worth repairing (it's an epson r1900 that was salvaged after it was not good enough to be used at its job).   I mostly print documents and stuff from the web, so I would like color.  I almost never print on photo paper or anything...

Hello all.   I am on the prowl for a(nother) TOTL CIEM and have narrowed it down to the following few choices (I have my reasons, so please try to stay within my list).  I have recently discovered that customs are the way to go for me as I almost always have fit issues with universals, and my...

I'm feeling Spring fever for better portable sound, now that the weather is starting to warm up.  While I'd love a single-box solution, gien the range of iems out there, seems like a two-box solution would be better.  That way you can pick a great UI, lots of storage, and good battery life, and...

Not much being said about this Dac-amp combo. Any thoughts about it, and what would be the best portable source to use with it, preferably other than a laptop or phone?

I keep going back and forth between wanting a single-box solution to portable audio bliss, and using two pieces- aka transport and dac/amp or transport/dac and seperate amp combo. While the 240-Hugo combo commends itself, I'd like to go a bit lower than that, budget-wise...... So, what player...

I am getting thread updates emailed to me, for threads I have not subscribed to.  They all say they were modified by user junkers, and when I click on them ( I tested one, the thread that came up was not the one mentioned in the email).   FYI   Mark

I know the energizers matter, but am curious about how these would compare sonically - which is warmer?  more dynamic?  more coherent? which is brighter?  which has better bottom-end weight and authority.  In other words, what would be the least "culture-shock" coming from sealed dynamics like...

I am currently enjoying my recently acquired dx1000s.  I need a sealed headphone for this specific application, and have a very good sounding rig to connect it to.  I am especially interested in hearing from anyone who has been seduced away from their DX1000s and specifically to what other...

So, I am looking for a new single-ear bluetooth device to be able to use my android phone hands-free, for calling only (no music).  I have a Samsung 7000 now, but the battery does not seem to be holding a charge, so I am back to the drawing board.  It needs to be pretty loud, and have decent...

I seem to have large-aperture ear canals, and have to use the biggest diameter tips in any assortment.  Usually large Complys work, but in some cases even those do not give me the best seal.  So....   What's the widest good tip you know of - what's actually worked for you, fellow big-ear   ...

I really like my Nami and am wondering if I would like the Kaede even better.  Has anyone here heard them both under identical circumstances and if so, are you willing to post your thoughts about how they compare.  What I love about my Namis  so far is their timbre and dynamics,  e.g., they...

So, it being the Holiday season I've got the buy-bug again, and decided I'd focus on upper-tier performance iems, that will "leave me alone iwth the music".  I've liked mostly single driver units, mostly dynamics, and am looking for something universal (not custom) that will really make me happy...

Having just recently discovered that a computer does not operate properly when partially submerged in water.  I am assuming the psu is toast, as the computer will not turn on, even with the hard drives disconnected.  I am hoping the mobo, cpu and ram are ok, but need another psu to test it with...

I'm on the hunt for a new IEM, and prefer to have just one set which is both jack of, and master of, all trades.  I love the sound of Audeze's because they combine warmth/body with resolution, and are full range (ok, maybe a touch less so on top).   They are very coherent, and do instrumental...

Can anyone confirm whether current stock of the Supertips, whether the sampler kit, or the multi-packs still come with the red adapters (or some other color) to use these on narrower stems?   I am ok buying the set, but not if the adapters are not included, since i already have some of the...
