"Straight-style" canal IEM (like Shure E4C)
Hey all, Been a while since I've posted here. I am looking for an IEM that goes past the first curve in the ear (i.e., a true canal-type IEM). However, the housing of the IEM can't be a "shell" type. The reason being, the housing rubs against my ear and causes irritation. I'll be using these...- SolidVictory

Amp and DAC ($1000-$1500) for HE-500
Hi all! I took the plunge and bought an HE-500. Now I'm going to have to deal with getting a proper DAC and Amp for the headphones (as I have nothing decent apart from a few portable players). My budget is $1000-$1500 all-in. I would like to add that I will consider speaker amps, but I...- SolidVictory

RoCoo P DAP - Full Review
I was looking for a new DAP a few months ago when my Cowon S9's power slider stopped working properly. I was considering the HiFiMan 601, HiFiMan 802, S:Flo2, and a few other DAPs. After fixing the power slider problem myself, I stopped looking for a DAP because I was content with my Cowon...- SolidVictory

Describe Your IEMs and Headphones as Cars! (with pictures)
I thought it would be fun to have a thread where we all mention our IEM or headphone and compare it directly to a car, with a picture. Just a simple concept for summarizing the sound quality/sound signature of a particular IEM/headphone without all the technical jargon of head-fi! Just a...- SolidVictory

I would appreciate some opinions from owners, readers, and head-fier's who...- SolidVictory

A taste of DSP? Amazing plug-in!
Hi guys, Many years ago, I tried out a plug-in for Winamp simply called "Enhancer" (link here). Over time I forgot about it, but recently I remembered how great it made my cheap computer speakers sound. So I decided to download it again and try it with my SM3's. And surprisingly, the...- SolidVictory

Amp for AKG 702 with good synergy?
Hey everyone, I just pulled the trigger on the AKG K702 headphones and am wondering what would be a good desktop amp to go along with them? I am looking to spend around $200-$300. I've read that the AKG 702's go well with SS (solid state?) headphone amps, and not so much with tube...- SolidVictory
