Just wanted to say hello, Started buying headphones this last year since we got a house where the stereo is against bedroom wall and my wife goes to bed before me. I am currently researching the best low/mid price headphone amp because I'm not totally satisfied with my preamps out. Anyone with a good $500 or less idea, I would love to hear it. Thanks. I have IEM's to Planar Magnetics to Sennheiser's. Plus I use a Kimber Kable PB&J extension cable to reach my couch.

Oh, that's easy to answer, go with the THX AAA 789 (400 bucks), on massdrop.
It's easily one of the best offerings under 1000$...
(I can't get myself used to call it drop).

New member here! Has been following head-fi reviews for a while, but I've decided to finally join. Primary interest is in earphones, nothing excessively expensive.
Joined recently. Love the wealth of information on this forum! Looking for a recommendation for an iem best for EDM but will ask in another thread.

Hello everyone! I've been lurking here for quite awhile. Like most other lurkers I felt it was time to join.
Years ago I had a really nice Stax combo with a Stax tube amp and I believe a Stax binaural processor too. I had a lot of fun with that setup.
A few years later I bought a Grado HP100 headphones with a Melos tube headphone amp. That combo rocked out and I really enjoyed them too.
Now its many years later & I miss the quality sound I used to get years ago.
All I have now is a sad old pair of Grado SR60's which I'm so tired of.
I'm looking to seriously upgrade my headphones and buy a separate dac & headphone amp in the very near future!

Hi, me name Joe,
I recently acquired a D321 discman on the recommendation of people here and when I got It i took it apart to fix a stuck slider, upon taking it apart, a few springs fell out of the unit. There are about 6 total springs in the unit 3 long and cylindrical and three shorter cone shaped ones. I found where to put the long ones but cannot find where to put the shorter ones. I put the thing back together and it works well and sounds great but I'm worried something will go wrong without those 3 shorter springs. Anyone know where they go or what they're for. btw, the D321 sound great. So loud in headphones and clear. Picked it up for around 6 usd aswell so was happy but I'm scared I've ruined it

Hello everyone,
I just signed up to this site and presume this is the place to post first.
I currently have a pair of AKG601 although I have not used them since moving from solid state to valve gear, since I no longer have a headphone socket unfortunately.
I do miss the headphone experience and need to address this problem.
I would also be interested in upgrading in the headphone department some time, but have no idea at the moment what to upgrade to?
Any thoughts/recommendations would be much appreciated.
I have visited this website a few times and glad I am now a member.

Hi everyone,
Completely new to these forums. I decided to sign up to share this hobby with some more people.
I have way too many headphones (or not enough).
Currently, I have the 58x Jubilee, Koss KPH30i, Sony XM3, Meze 99 Noir, Sendy Aiva, DT1990 pro, LCD-X, ZMF Aeolus, Fiio FH5, Tin T2, ZS10 pro, Blon BL-03 and waiting for the Obravo Cupids to arrive.
Listening on the Carbon X amp, Xduoo TA-20, and Monolith portable. Dacs are the SE and Balanced SDAC.
Thinking to sell the DT1990 pro and invest in the Focal Elex. I'm a sucker for wide headphones

Hey guys, new here. Fairly old Audiophile; been seeking the best equipment for years now.
Decided to join this forum so that I could properly get a handle on the IEM market. Its been almost 8 years since I last bought a pair of budget ear buds in the form of the classic Klipsch S4. Since they've been discontinued and the S4 (II)s and S6s are nothing to write home about, I want to explore other brands and alternatives. I look forward to talking with all of you guys.
