Tattoo-Fi
Let's get some pictures of another expensive hobby. Lord knows I spent more on tattoos than I have on headphones. Here's a few of mine. The back is still in progress, we have to do the background still.- Entropism

Topping L50 or A30 Pro to pair with an E50 Dac?
Currently have both sitting on my desk, with no cables to connect either until later this week. Aesthetically, I like the matching stack look of the E50/L50, but the A30 Pro outputs twice as much power (3.5w vs 6w at 16 Ohm). Volume-wise, I'm positive I wont get anywhere near maxing either...- Entropism

Hifiman EF400 vs Topping E50/L50 stack
So I ordered the Topping stack, which should be great for my needs, and then in a semi-inebriated stage, ordered the HF400. I'll be using the amp with an Edition XS, a JM modded HE-R9, and a Beyer Amiron Home. I know the EF400 does great with low impedance headphones and is less than ideal...- Entropism

Amp/DAC upgrade for Edition XS? Or just stay put
Currently running a Magni +/Modi 3 with my XS, and I'm feeling the itch to upgrade. I was looking at the Asgard 3, Midgard, or the Topping A30 Pro. The Asgard is at the head of my list simply because I don't feel like replacing all my cables for balanced, if there's little to no benefit. Am I...- Entropism

Odd Question? Looking to control Schiit stack & speaker amp with 1 volume knob & switch
So right now I have a Magni+ and Modi3 powering my headphones using the USB input. I also have a Loxjie A30 powering 2 passive speakers and a sub, using the optical input.

Looking for a Christmas upgrade
Right now I have a set of HD6XX, Dekoni Blue, and Takstar Pro82. I've been giving the Dekonis the most play over the past year, but I'd like something that was a bit more open. I was considering the Hifiman Deva Pros (or Sundaras) but I'm a bit wary of their QC and reliability. Ideally I'd be...- Entropism

Closed upgrades from a Takstar Pro82
Right now I have a set of Pro 82s and a Senn/Drop 6XX. I’m looking to upgrade, and I’ll need something closed back. I’m hoping the jump will be something noticeable, and with more of a low end kick than the 82s. Ideally 200-400 would be the range I’m looking for.- Entropism

Looking for Headphone/DAC/Amp recommendations, under $450-500 total?
I'm looking to scratch the headphone itch again, and I'm having a hard time deciding on what to get. Right now I own a few budget oriented headphones, and one "decent" pair.

Need a DAC/HP amp with some restrictions
So here's my situation: I need a desktop DAC/Amp combo that takes either optical or USB input, has RCA outs that get muted when I plug headphones in, and has enough power to drive headphones fairly easily. Anyone have any suggestions? The cheaper the better, really. I'm finding it difficult...- Entropism

Need to replace HD25-1s. What compares?
I've had these for about 7-8 years now, and recently the audio has been cutting out randomly. Looking to replace these, hopefully around the same price or cheaper. Listen to basically everything. Rock/Punk/Metal, Rap/Hip Hop, plus I'd use these for movies as well. They'll either be powered...- Entropism

Yet another <$125 advice thread
I tried using the search, so bear with me here... I need a set of headphones for my ipod, no amp. As far as music is concerned, I can toss on anything from Social Distortion to Pagiani, so there's a need for a good all around set of cans. I'd prefer them as portable as possible, as I'll be...- Entropism
