I think it's time LETSHUOER gets a dedicated thread. Always action in the huge discovery thread, but nice with dedicated threads as well. Please share your impressions and ask questions! UPDATE This appears to be the most active LETSHUOER THREAD currently: SHUOER IMPRESSIONS THREAD...

I think Kiwi Ears IEMs should have their own thread. There's separate threads for the Quintet , Melody, and I started a new one for Cadenza. There's always action in the Discovery Thread. However, I thought it might be nice to have a dedicated thread for everything Kiwi Ears related :)

Hi all Why doesn't this lovely little IEM have it's own thread? It's like 35 USD and sounds delicious. What's your experiences with this one?

Whenever you find, take or make a funny headphone related picture, you can post it here :)

Hi all I thought it might be a good idea to make a thread about how to change pads on the STAX SR007 and what pads will fit and how they sound and feel :) Here is STAX own instruction about how to change the pads on the 007

I am certainly not the first one to make this simple mod but it just made my day to find a quick solution to my problem. My STAX SR-L700 head-band was too large for my head. The solution for me was to put on a self-adhesive headband pad that I originally bought for some Sennheiser HD 215 ages...

I found this Focal headphone pad adapter ring set on AliExpress and attached some Brainwavz Oval pad to my Focal. Sounds great, feels great and looks great! Anyone with experience with plain pads on Focal?

I have a pair of K701's with loose elastics. The rubber bands that hold the headband's suspension is stretched out over the years. They can be replaced properly, but that'll require special parts, a lot of frustrating picking-apart-action.. So I did a very functional 10-second repair. It...

Hi   I have a Leben CS300XS. It's tube push pull. There is a slight (but annoying) hum in the right channel with some high impedance headphones (sensitivity doesn't seem to matter). Leben tells me it is because the input trafo is too close the output trafo. This is only a problem with some...

Got myself a vintage Micromega Stage 6 CD Player recently and just want to say two words about it. .    It is a really nice player, sounds great, and what is better, it has an excellent headphone out. However, for me (at least on my unit on my mains AC..) I only use it with less sensitive...

Since I might be in the market for one of the Android flagships, I'd like to hear som opinions!   Since I already have done some borwser-beased web research on the topic, I might start off with what I found so far (and I might fill in as I find more):     Comparisons from What Hifi  ...

I've been asked to research low price durable headphones for use in a museum, loaner phones.   Durability is more important then the sound quality. Portable use- with loaner iPod's etc. Cable must be durable or exchangable.    Thanks!

Hi   Just got a second hand Squeezebox Touch - but the supplied PSU is different from the other SB Touchs I have, most worryingly the specs are slightly different.   The "normal" PSU are 5V, 3A whilst the goofy PSU (which is claimed to have been supported NIB from Logitech is 5V, 2A  ...

This looks intriguing.    15 Watts into speakers.      http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/bakoon/1.html   http://www.bakoonproducts.com/product/amp-11/     pics from 6moons

Having looked around for impressions/reviews on the Mjolnir, it seems that there aren't yet many around.    Here is the only one close to a full review I've found on head-fi: http://www.head-fi.org/t/631313/schiit-mjolnir-vs-bryston-bha-1-and-schiit-gungnir-vs-bifrost   Most impresions...

THE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST WOO AUDIO - WA2 vs WA22 [I have had the privilege of having these two beautiful amplifiers side by side for a couple of months now. I assume I am not the only one who has been wondering about which one to get, so I've tried to contribute with a...

edit:   PROBLEM SOLVED   An early batch of the Xciter lacked some output resistors. Thanks to 563 for helping out.      --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------       Hi!   I have been trying to...

Well - the saying is that planarmagnetic (planars) AKA Orthodynamic (orthos) headphones need a lot of Watts to shine. But I have also read that they fancy nice Voltage swing capabilites. And I've read the opposite, they do not care about voltage at all. I know, however, that the voltage-capable...

Photo-reviewist Ken Rocwell has reviewed some audio gear, and also the Woo WA6SE.    http://kenrockwell.com/audio/woo/wa6-se.htm   edit - he has actually done a lot of audio reviews:   http://kenrockwell.com/audio/index.htm                 He has done a lot of...

  Follow the natural "loops" of the cable. Cables genraly should be rolled, not wrapped....   

Just learned that Cary Audio Design will launch two headphone amps shortly.   (edit:)   The two headphone ampd are:   Solid state: SH-1 Tube Hybrid HH-1   Price assumed USD 1K+   Quote from CES-report 2012:   A second system in the room featured headphone listening...

Hi   Primarily I use the SB Touch or CD-transport, but:   I want to connect my computer to the DAC via USB...via 8-10 meters The self-amplifiying cables I have been using so far is not up to the task (skipping noises)   So - anybody has experiences with e.g. USB-Cat5 adapters...
