Hi all,   I just figured I would share a personal experience I had last week in the hopes that no one else ever has to go through this.   I had been taking lorazepam (as prescribed), a benzodiazepine for the past 5 years for panic attacks, and insomnia. The little white pills seemed...

Hey All,   Just wondering what people think of the Wii 2.   I don't want to come across as a fan boy of any console, as embarrassingly enough I own pretty much every console released in the last 20 years (save a dreamcast).   That aside, does anyone actually care?   The Wii was a...

It's spring and I am feeling awesome.   The winters are long here and I eventually feel terrible at some point despite having a good social-life, a job, and going to school. Same call it SAD, I call it living in a place with winters that are way too long.   This weekend I took a powerful...

No credit for this hilarious comic. How often does this happen to you? Too damned often over here.  

I like this place a lot.   I really do.   Lots of great people here, great advice, and fun stuff to read. Keeps me checking up on it just about every day.   We are all hobbyists here, some more into it than others. Some with more money than others, and some with more technical...

Hey Guys,   I am extremely happy with my phoenix and ref - 7 combo.. the SQ is out of this world.   My HD 800 and LCD-2 both sing like no other on it.   however, I am very enticed at the idea of warming up the HD 800 or adding some romance and having a good match for a potential T1...

Hey Guys,   Well I guess "vet" might be a bit of a strong word (especially when compared to true vets haha), but I am no noob.   I have heard headphones from just about every company out there, a fair amount of amps...   Right now I am completely satisfied with my main rig. I...

Hey Guys,   don't know if many of you know this band, but their original CD was an absolute masterpiece.   They have been struggling to release their second CD for a long time because apparently the software they are using to record this music is only 32bit and they are already using 3...

Hey Guys,   Cool new Universal player/transport from oppo out!   http://oppodigital.com/blu-ray-bdp-93/blu-ray-BDP-93-Images.aspx   Anyone planning to get one? It DOES do FLAC now AND supports eSATA... quite the feature list and for many tech-challenged people could completely...

Hey guys,   Just though I would let you know I ordered 5 pairs of comply tips. The total came up to a ridiculous ~33$ thats right 33$ for foam + basic shipping to Canada.   Anyways, I really needed them so I ordered them.   Turns out they used 2$ prepaid shipping, and charged me over...

Hey guys,   My cable recently broke.   I am located in Canada and UE does not seem to offer shipping to Canada... To bad because 19$ is not tooooo bad for the cable.   Westone wants 32$ for their cable, then like 19$ for shipping (What, right?)   Any suggestions on where I could...

Hey All!   Recently I have been getting more and more into electronic music.   Deadmau5 and Wolfgang are two amazing producers and they recently did a single together.   Deadmau5 is where the progressive house influence is from and Wolfgang is where all the electro comes in. Not the...

Hello All,   Due to budgetary constraints, and general interest, I am looking to get into DIY.   I would very much like to have a 4ch B22 or a Dynamite. I have been wanting to get into fully balanced for some time, but the entry price is prohibitive.    My questions is this: Can...

I am broke.    Seriously, this is not some self pity/ half joking redundant head-fi woe. I am literally broke.    In the last 6 months I have acquired a number of headphones. Those being Ultrasone Pro 750, Audio Technica W1000X, Denon D7000, and now the JVC DX 700. I have since sold the...

Preamble   I have enjoyed this site very much. Since before I was a member and got caught up in posting, I enjoyed coming here to read about peoples opinions and reviews. Most importantly I came here to figure out what was actually good to people, like myself, are genuinely interested in...

So, I might not be the first to make a thread like this, but I did check. I apologize if I am not the first.   As much as I appreciate all the work that has gone into the site, and all the new features, I think the Head Gear part is just as bad as it is good.   It is great in the sense...

Disclaimer: a number of people have asked for comparisons, especially in the bass region. Skylab is the more competent one to do this review, as he has more experience and better gear. I am also waiting on my Meier Concerto to do any thou rough comparison. This is for your reading pleasure and...

Just figured this stunningly beautiful headphone needs it's own thread! They came out with almost no info available, very limited impressions, and a high price tag with a lot of competition. However, those who took the risk (and the plunge) were greatly rewarded. This headphone is a work...

Hey all, I recently had my soundcard go haywire (drivers crashed I think), and produce sound that is what I assume the bowls of hell sounds like. I was so shocked with the noise, I do not remember how loud it was. Initially I though that the sound was very loud, but I think it might have...

Hello All, I have already had a Bankart procedure on my right shoulder last September. Basically they rearrange some tendons to prevent the numerous from slipping out to stop chronic dislocations. I will be having the same surgery on my left shoulder this coming December and would like...

I was reading about these headphones, and all "flabby bass" this, no its "not flabby" that aside, one or two people commented on how much more precise, at least on paper, the D5000 in general and especially when compared to the D7000. Why do people seem to unanimously think the D7000 sounds...

So I have done some quick searching here on head-fi about neutrality, or balanced sounding headphones. Seems like there are many people who are after headphones that sound like this, but a lot of people seem to suggest, at least in the past, Sennheiser HD 600, or AKG K702. After listening...

So I was pretty set on getting a Meier Concerto, until I noticed the Audio-GD Phoenix. I was going to use the Concerto to get near balanced performance until I had enough money to get some headphones re-cabled and a serious source. BUT, the Phoenix offers a 4 pin XLR output, and even a kit...

Hello All! This is my second review, and given the class these headphones exude, I will do my absolute best to do them justice with the quality of my review. I plan on doing more reviews on my various headphones, so please do comment as to how I could have done better, what more I could have...

Hello, I purchased a pair of Bogdan Audio Goldie XLR cables directly from Ben of bogdan audio off audiogon a few months back. Unfortunately my speakers were too sensitive to handle the gain boost my preamp gave while in balanced. I decided to see for myself with my set up if the sound...
