Oh noes... Anything you could recommend for lower budget? I noticed most of them are $70+... Or is the 053 silver any better?

First off, thanks for all the info. It is incredible what you can learn/find here. I'm looking to re-do my ten year old Nuforce NE7M? cable which is coming apart in various spots, but also doing an MMCX hack for the Sony MH755. I use my UE TF10 Pro with Mokose cable from Amazon (purchased...

I read so many reviews I wouldn't remember anyone's id, not that I would blame anyone... I guess this is how they actually sound? I read some reviews again and some of these traits are pointed out, but what got me was the fact that they all conclude this is a great sounding chi-fi bang for buck...

Just got my ZSN (silver/cyan) couple days ago from Amazon Canada. I really want to like them but I am so disappointed... especially because I bought them after reading all the rave reviews. I have UE TF10, Nu Force NE7M, and ATH M50x, for reference. I love my TF10 minus the cable which has a...

Yes with more research, a sub seems unnecessary. Instead of the receiver, I could probably go with an integrated amp. I guess I would need some kind of amp to drive some decent speakers.   I couldn't find any A5's or Swans locally. I'm in Toronto, Canada. I found an Arcam Alpha 8 (integrated...

Okay, I think I found a decent source for Canada. I see a bunch of locals selling speakers and other audio goods. The names I mostly see are Paradigm, Polkaudio, Infinity, some vintage, Mirage, and others.   What should I be looking for? Is the only way to find out listening to them?

Hi, I'm new to speakers and would like some suggestions on products or good reads. I started researching today, reading up on anything I could find that seemed useful, and felt that the sea of information on speakers was much more overwhelming compared to when I got into headphones. Anyway...

I've been researching for two days, but there doesn't seem to be a solution for this, at least for Windows XP.   I'm using Foobar2000 with ASIO4ALL, and I'd like to disable MS GS Wavetable SW Synth.   If anyone knows how to get rid of it, or a way to get so-called "bit-perfect" on...

Loving the HD650s. I can tell they need much more to drive them, but they do sound really smooth. HotAudio has some really cool stuff. I might get the EXTASY DAC model if I don't find a D4 soon. I've always wanted the Pico, but I don't think I'm ready to spend another 600~700 :O ... just yet...

Greetings fellow head-fiers, I have officially caught the Head-Fi bug. Just purchased HD650, and hopefully will pickup an Woo Audio 6, next week, to drive it. So I'm thinking of a source upgrade for my home/transportable setup. I have read a quite a few threads in the source forum, but I am...

Dudes I have this from some 30 years ago.. it used to be my toy as a baby, and it still lives! Except for the thin foam layer that covers the drivers that came off and is now lost, must say its a tank. And it doesn't sound that bad either. Brings back memories, this one.

Okay, my list keeps growing. MTPC, SE530, D2000, HF2, TF10. Looks like more reading to do on the weekend.

Do Dynamic and Balanced Armature IEMs have their distinct flavors? And would I see a big difference going from NE-7M by purchasing an IEM in the $250~$400 range? Or would the difference be much greater if I got an open headphone in the that range? I'm thinking I could go with the NE-7M...

So I've been loving my NE-7M's for some time now. I've had it for almost 2 years to go with my iAudio7. It is my first phone that I bought separate from the DAP, and I must say it was a good buy. My first upgrade was the iBasso T3 portable amp which I ordered last night. And my second upgrade...

Nice. Just bought the T3. So excited! My first amp! Bit off topic but I found a local seller for a used HF-2 for $520. I know I shouldn't but I'm soooooo tempted T_T My first headphone! ha ha I would just get it if it was like $400ish. --------------- EDIT: Received my parcel in two...

Thanks for the comments. I will definitely purchase both T3 and D4. Can't wait to try them. Hope they start making some D4's real soon... And yeah, I'll go and do some research on D2000 and HF-1/2.

Hi, I'm currently using iAudio7 with NuForce NE-7M. I've been constantly wanting (almost 2 years) for an upgrade but wasn't willing to invest until now. So after reading all sorts of threads, I decide to buy the D4. And I find out that it's out of stock!! So here is my plan... PORTABLE...

Oh okay. I guess that's that. Is the SQ on one of Clip/Touch/Classic known to be better? Or are they all great?

Hi all~ I have a 2nd gen ipod nano that my girldfriend threw (dropped :P) on the ground while jogging... and the symptoms give me the idea that the hard drive is broken. Does anyone have experience fixing 2G nanos? It's been rotting away for over a year, and I'd like to know if it's worth...

Hi, I'm looking for a canal and closed headphone that are known to go well, or have worked out for you, when used on Clix2. Canal will be used solely for music listening on the clix2, and the headphone will also be used for watching movies and such on the computer. This will be my first...
