Hi Keno,

This is a very inexpensive hobby ... right?



Hi Vic,

It’s a part of me, which i’m afraid i’ll have to let go

It also came to me to leave that hobby, because today's devices are not designed for long-term use.I'm not rich enough to buy cheap stuff.

Relatively speaking Schiit Audio and Massdrop is inexpensive and besides that's what Xmas and birthdays are for .

There are a lot of manufacturers, everyone wants to make the best device for a lower selling price. It often does not go well for the buyers.

If you're referring to poor quality equipment that's why places like Head-fi and reviews in general are useful.

Hello all... until now, I've lurked around here mostly for the reviews on equipment. Most of my listening is done at work (in a cube; several nearby coworkers), so I'm trying to decide on which closed back headphone (<$1000) to splurge on and if a Schiit Eitr and Multibit would be worthwhile additions. I listen to a bit of everything... rock, pop, classical, jazz, hiphop, etc. My current setup is Laptop > Modi 3 > Magni 3 > Meze 99C

Hi there,
My name is Joshua and I am new here. I have slowly been working my way to the hi-fi scene, though I have spent most of my time in the guitar equipment arenas. I have (what I consider) a fairly nice home stereo: a mid/late 80's luxman R117 and a pair of phase speakers with interesting cylindrical drivers instead of the standard cone for the woofers.

I have been using the audio technica ath-m50x for the past 4 years or so, and have become dissatisfied with them and have come here to start to learn about the high quality headphone market!

Welcome, Joshua!! That's a nice rig you've got. You should get lots of input on your M50X issue if you will start a new thread here asking for what it is you need. All the best--.

Thank you, both the luxman and the speakers were my father's, both were broken! He told me if i could fix them I could have them. Im an electrical engineering student, so I was able to fix the luxman (all the output transistors on the left channel were blown) and the speakers (both woofers were disintegrating) and now they are in my room!

I also did start a thread asking for some opinions, I have an oppo pm3 and a fiio e17k which just arrived today!

Thank you for welcoming me and for your kind words as well!

Just registered - hello all!


I don't consider myself an audiophile, but I do enjoy good sound systems.

Welcome meanderingthalweg!

Look for a used Mr. Speakers Ether closed, Aeon flow closed or an AKG K55-series headphone. Add the Focal elgia to your list if you can

Howdy all,

I have been an amateur audiophile for a few years now so hoping to get some good advice here. Currently using an AK380 and Layla 2 for everyday listening which is an awesome combination.
