Sent in 64audio impressions, since they liked them etc via email and approved. Then get a call over a week later (had paid for 7 business day rush) that they cannot make me the A12T as my impressions won’t fit them. I’m being offered to exchange for u12t since it’s the same price. Anyone...

Hey guys after some recommendation from users after my WTB post I bought a Gungnir MB from a usaudiomart seller. The Gumby arrived today but will not power on. Tried two different power cords. I noticed the LEDs in the front don't seem to line up that well, one of them looks missing. Also the...

Hello all I was lent a pair of HD600 from Jimmy (thegunner100) to compare against my HD650. I used a variety of music, first with hard rock, then dubstep, then jrock, then soft rock, and lastly rap. Honestly its very noticeable that these cans are brothers, HD650 has more bass, HD600 is more...

Hello I purchased some used HD650 on head-fi. The headphones came in, and well the condition was not as the seller said. I paid $285 for them. Should I dispute and return them via paypal or just keep them? I am upset because theres some paint chipping, was rat dropping or some other brown little...

I found Kester 44 63/37 Rosin Core 24-6337-0018 at Stanley Supply Services for $21.28. With shipping is was $28.45. This is the cheapest place I could find Kester Solder. The diameter I went with was 0.025, but they have 0.031 at $20.85. I am not affiliated with Stanley Supply Services in any...

I see spark fun is selling Eutectic 63% tin 37% lead, rosin core solder 100g for $5.95. Is is any good? I was going to order Kester 44, but it is expensive, and only 60/40 (due to price of 63/37 being almost $40-$50)   https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9161       Thanks,     Thomas

As soon as I ordered my Audio-GD NFB-10ES2 I knew I was going to need a balanced cable for my LCD-2 Rev 1's, but most of the big guys like Toxic Cables, etc have a 12-16 week lead time. The stock Audeze balanced cable my friend gave me a few months back (had it setting in the closet) was nicked...

Hello all, I had these two cans laying around so I felt like comparing them: Setup: iMac --> Bifrost Uber --> M^3 w/ Sigma o11 PSU iMac was running Vox, using FLAC music by: Santana: The Best of Santana Daft Punk: Random Access Memories The White Stripes: Elephant Cables: Canare Cable for...

Hello I paid $428 with shipping for my Bifrost Uber, is the D18 which I can get used for $450 a upgrade? The seller keeps telling me so, but I want ot get a second opinion. My amp is the M^3, and my cans are Q701 and LCD-2 Rev 1. Thanks, Thomas

I was offered a balanced 6 channel Beta22 for $1700. Is this a good or bad deal? It is secondhand, but what benefit is 6 channels? Balanced only needs 3 or 4 channels correct? So why should I pay $500-$700 more for six channels? Does it improve sound? I have LCD-2's. Current Amp is a M^3 Amp...

Hello I recently purchased a YMB M^3 with sigma power supply, but is it possible to convert it from single ended to a true balanced design? If it is reasonably possible, is their a person here on head-fi that knows how to do it? Thanks, Thomas PS: I want to use a balanced DAC, and that...

I listen to Led Zeppelin, mostly the first album, dark side of the moon, and music like that. Can ya'll recommend me some other groups? Thanks!

I can get either for $500 used. The dacmini has a dac, but I heard the m^3 is great. I have Q701 and GR07. Plan to get HE500 or LCD-2 soon. 50% Rock, 20% Jazz, 5% Electronica, 5% Dubstep, 5% Japanese Rock, Harajuku Dance Rock, 15% Rap, Aerosmith & Led Zeppelin fanboy. Thanks, Thomas

Hello I need a headphone amp for my Q701, as I hate the sound of them out of my iMac (my previous amp/dac sold with PC). My budget is $500 for both the amplifier and DAC, but I can extend if I need to. I plan to purchase the Westone 4R, and would like to amp them with the amplifier I buy...

Hello all, my budget is $1000 including amplifier. So the cans that caught my eye are Stax SR207, Stax SR307, and Stax SR407. What I find confusing is what type of amplifier is recommended for each different headphone, and where to buy them. Now I've used a lot of different headphones, and I...

As the title says, which will have more synergy and sound better for Jazz and electronica with some J pop and classical rock. I'll be using a Audio-gd NFB-10ES2 DAC, if that matters :D. Thanks, Thomas

Let me hear your opinions. I haven't heard either, but must go with either option. I will be using either HD800 or Beyer T1. I used to own LCD-2 but they were too uncomfortable for my liking and Soundearphones is exchanging them for either the T1 at a equal trade or the HD800 for $100-$200. Let...

Hello all, well currently I've got the LCD-2 and Burson HA160D. I enjoy it very much, but the LCD-2 make my head feel like I have a hangover if I wear them for more than 2 hours, so I would like to ask for your recommendations that complement or replace the LCD-2. I will most likely keep the...

Hello everyone, I just recently purchased a Schiit Valhalla on the FS forums a few days ago and noticed only the right side of my headphone works when I use the Valhalla. The headphone is a brand new Sennheiser HD650, and the same problem happens when I hook up my Sony MDR-V6's to the Valhalla...

Hello as the title says what's your favorite amp for the T1? I want it $1000 or under. PS if you know any good DACs I would appreciate it greatly :D! So far I've been looking at the Beyerdynamic A1 and Music Fidelity M1. I can't buy Woo Audio (they don't sell on Amazon), so please help me make...
