Build the ultimate mid-fi rig for the budding audiophile
I've read a ton of threads asking for advice on a headphone or a setup and the recommendations, while good, can be a little random. So how about a specific set of criteria which I think would satisfy the majority of requests. Please be specific with your recommendations. The idea here is instead...- Navybsn

DT770 80ohm vs 32ohm
Can anyone directly compare the bass in the 80 vs the 32 edition of these phones? Mainly without an amp. I tried the 80 and the bass just wasn't there for me. Mind you the 80's had velour pads and most 32's have pleather.- Navybsn

Mid range closed can recommendations
Let me start by saying I like the sound signature oh my HD 428's (Sennheiser). The only thing I don't care for is the cheap plasticy feeling they have. I'd like to get a pair of cans that feel....more substantial. I'd prefer for them to have the same sort of sound signature as the 428's, prefer...- Navybsn

Another HD 428 review
Strictly for the people standing in Best Buy trying to decide.... Yesterday I was out and about and ended up in my local Best Buy. I've been itching for a new set of earphones to replace/supplement my IEM's. I had talked myself into a set of DNA's but decided to listen to everything there...- Navybsn

IEM recommendation with a twist
Hi guys. I am in need of a good IEM on a $50 - 100 budget. I mainly listen to Progressive Rock/Metal (Rush, Opeth), Jazz (Winton Marsalis, Miles Davis) and Classical. I am currently using JVC Marshmellows for IEM's. Output is only from a 4th gen iPhone (no amp). Here's the catch, I am currently...- Navybsn

Change or modify D1001 pads?
So I got a new set of Denon D1001's, and they sound fantastic. Only one problem I have right away, they hurt my ears after a while. Seems the pads just aren't thick enough for my ears. Are there any off the shelf pads that fit that are a little thicker? Or is this DIY territory?- Navybsn

First review - Sleek Audio SA-6
I'd like to try a review. My first in fact. So a little background about my listening habits and gear I've used. Background: I've always considered myself a music-phile, but not quite an audiophile. After doing some reading/lurking on these forums for a while, I started collecting a little...- Navybsn

Question about <$100 IEM's
Hi all. New to posting on the site, although I have lurked for quite a while. I'm in the market for new IEM's around $100. I have read all of the comparisons (i.e. 17 IEM's reviewed etc), and I've narrowed it down to a few choices. Now I need some expert advice. My choices right now are 1) AL...- Navybsn
