Im currently looking at the Marantz SA7S1. I find Marantz's flagship cdp to be a wonderful high end bargin, especially in the used market. Ive seen them hovering around the $3500.00 mark used. Ive read some reviews and impressions about the SA7S1, but cant help thinking that the impressions...

I currently own UE-11s and AKG K701s, The UE-11s have a somewhat recessed midrange and really lacks bite to the guitars and the natural timbre of drums imo. However they do provide incredible resolution and details and i feel that they are more transparent and faster than the K701s. The...

Im planning on buying the Headamp GS-1 amp for a pair of Grado RS1s. I like the idea of the amp having a very "black" background. Like Justin at Headamp, I believe that a black background is crucial for high fidelity reproduction. Can anyone give any insight or advice on any CD players in...

How would these compare as sources? Ive listened to the Music Hall CD25.2 and was impressed. Would the Imod/V-Cap Dock be an even better combo? I know that a portable used as a home source seems to deter people, but the Imod/V-Cap Dock seems to really be a great source. I already...

Well, right now im looking for a full size headphone, as i sold my last one and am left without a full size pair. Currently im listening to my UE11s through an Imod/iQube/Cryo Au/ag Lod. Needless to say it sounds quite amazing. But sometimes i really do not want to bother with plugging...

Im currently looking for an impedence adapter to use with my iqube and ue11s to cut the moderate hiss i hear when i turn the amp on. Not too familiar with these, but i found one at apuresound:APureSound - Where The Music Is Always Pure - APS Audio LLC. Would this be a good choice? Once...

I plugged my ue 11s into my iqube and turned it on, and OUCH!! There was like a really loud high pitched noise and crackling. I immediately turned off the iqube and realised that there was barely any battery left. My question is this, Are my drivers damaged from this? The noise...

So ive just picked up my ue-11s from ultimate ears in irvine. The bass is non existent!!! It has about the same amount of bass as the ipod earbuds, im not even kidding!!!! Basically none!! The highs are pretty good, vocals sound alright. My right ear is hurting a little, so im...

I just plugged my alo imod lod into a regular ipod lineout, because my imod is not here yet. It kinda looks like there is a gap in the pins on one side. This cable is new and I didnt really take a close look to see if it already came like this. Will the cable be fine if plugged into a...

Will the Iqube be able to drive a pair of sennheiser hd650s? Ive already read that the predator can do this pretty well, just not sure about the Iqube. Anyone know?

Im not going to have a full size headphone with me at the moment, so I was wondering if I could still sucessfully burn in a portable amp like the Predator or Iqube with an IEM such as the UE-11s? Any help would be appreciated as i do not want to buy another headphone or a resistor load at the...

These are actually really cool themes for the 5/5.5g ipods: Welcome to TheIslander's Website | Where your iPod comes to a new life. Can you use these with the IMOD? I already know you can use rockbox so just wondering.

Well now these days the iQube has gotten much more awareness as it seems. As Mr Dexdexter said in one of most unique reviews (and awesome) ive seen: "the iQube remains fairly aloof from the larger discussion here" http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f5/iqu...pdated-302899/ It seems that more...

Which IPOD is a good candidate for amping via lineout? Current Classic? If not which gen? Current Nano? If not which gen? Interested more in the nano becuase of size.... Or....... should i stay with my d2 and just amp it hp/o? idk im getting really sick of the touch interface...

Ok, im planning on getting UE-11s this month and i want to amp them. Ive read numerous reviews on the RSA Predator, IQUBE, and Graham Slee voyager. The reviews have been really positive with all three, obviously making my decision on which one i want a nightmare haha. All three have...

Im planning on getting a graham slee voyager and hooking it up to my dap's headphone out. (i do not have an ipod so no LOD) It seems that the connector that comes with the voyager is very poor to say the least. I was wondering which 3.5 to 3.5 i should get? I was looking at qables and...

I currently own a pair of Sennheiser HD595s. I enjoy them but i want to upgrade. Since i like the sennheisers the natural course is to upgrade to the 650s but, I also want to try the grados too, this way i can compare and make a decision on which brand ill spend my big money on. Could...

Im planning on getting an RSA Predator, and since it has such an enormously long burn time i was wondering how i should go about burning it in. I will use it brand new but i also want to burn it in while im not using it. What is an effective way to burn it in? using headphones and the...

We all know that the Sony NW-HD5 owns... Well ive been looking everywhere for the Sony NW-HD5 and this is the only thing i found: Index Buy NEW Sony SONY NETWORK WALKMAN NW-HD5 - DIGITAL PLAYER - HD 20GB - WMA MP3 - RED NW-HD5RED Sony (NWHD5RED) at tamayatech 323-230-6112 Does this look...

Well guys, we all know that the UEs are expensive. So i was wondering how the Ibasso D2 performed with the UE11s. Ive already read many peoples response about how well the Predator works with the UEs because of their ability to amplify lower impedence phones better, i guess some amplifiers work...

Ok, this is what happened. i purchased the new Sony Walkman NWZ a728 about a month ago and WOW, impressive sound quality was an understatement. After messing around with the DAC settings the thing was just flawless SQ wise. But i returned it for the Cowon D2 after reading all these glowing but...
