    Looking for IEM suggestions.

    I seem to have lost my atrio MG7s somehow, so I'll be needing some new IEMs.  I listen mostly to old standards, but I enjoy a wide range of genres. (pop, rap, doom metal, folk rock, and sometimes electronic)  Good isolation is a must have for me, most of my listening with these will be done in...

    Amp for HD650s under around $200

    I have a modi 2 which i'll probably just stick with for the dac.  I listen mainly to stuff like bobby darin, frank sinatra, roy orbison, elvis, eddie cochran, etc.  I've looked into getting a dark voice 336SE (whenever it comes back on massdrop), vali 2, O2 (which is on massdrop for 80 bucks...

    Schiit Vali ringing in the left earcup?

    I'ts REALLY loud...  Don't really know how to fix it, and it won't stop.   I'm using HD650s if that helps.   EDIT ~ FIXED IT.  Always turn off and on kids...   EDIT again ~ Nope, still there.  Every time i turn it on, it rings a little to begin with, then goes silent for 10 mins or so, then...

    DACMini CX for HD650s over a Valhalla 2?

    My current plan for the HD650s I have, is to save and get a Valhalla 2, save some more after that and get a Bifrost.  But massdrop is having a deal on the CX for $400 right now, and i have heard a lot about the DACMini CX being a really good match for the HD650s.  Would i be better off going for...

    HD650s without an amp?

    I can either continue to save up for a piece of schiit amp (i'll be getting the Valhalla 2) or get a new ship for Star Citizen which is going away soon never to be seen again, or at least for 8-12 months.  Will the HD650s be THAT bad without an amp?  Because i REALLY want this ship, and won't...

    Asgard 2 vs Valhalla 2 for the HD650s?

    I've narrowed my amps down to these two, and can't decide.  Any help would be great.   I listen to a lot of classical.

    HD650 amp/DAC?

    I've been looking at threads on head-fi for at least 3 hours now trying to find a good amp/DAC combo for the HD650s I'll be picking up within the next week, and being the OCD ridden guy that I am, I find myself having a hard time making a decision.    I enjoy classical music, i plan on using...

    HD650 comfort?

    How does the HD650s comfort compare to all the other classical-focused (headphones that do classical music well) cans?  I've heard that the HD700s are super comfy, but my price range does not support that at all (unless i get a REALLY good deal), and my #2 concern in headphones (right behind...

    Ety HF2s didn't come with accessories?

    I'm guessing i got an older model of the hf2s because the box looks nothing like the ones ive been seeing. (the box doesn't have any blue whatsoever,all black) I'm wondering if i got a fake? The price did seem a bit low... Heres the product page on...

    HF5 or RE-400 for classical?

    I was looking for some isolative IEMs for classical while working in noisy areas,so after a good bit of searching around i came up with these two. And i need some help deciding which one to get. My sound preferences are accurate,not dry,transparent and detailed,relatively balanced,and not...

    IEMs for classical/cello music,isolative,and durable.

    I work at a welding and fabrication business and it is VERY loud. So isolation is #1 on my wish list. #2 is sound,accurate,not dry,and balanced overall,with a little bit more bass presence than that on the high end for the cello. #3 is durability. Like I said,metal shop. So it might get dinged...

    HD600 vs DT880 pro (250)

    I've taken a recent interest in classical music. (Cello and violin,I enjoy the cello a bit more though.) and I need some good cans to compliment the music. The ones I have been looking at are the Senn HD600s,Beyer DT880 pro (250),and the AKG K501s. The sound I would like to get is,very...

    Optical splitter?

    I don't know the technical name but i have two sources and one amp. And constantly switching out the opticals is annoying and i don't know if it will damage the optical. So i was wondering if there was something out there that i could plug both into and then flip a switch to determine which...

    Could i use an impedance adapter on D7ks to make them compatible with the Schiit Lyr?

    I'm getting LCD2s and D7ks and don't want to have to get 2 amps,so would an impedance adapter on the D7ks make them compatible with the lyr without sacrificing sound quality? Or would i be better off getting the asgard...

    Schiit lyr for D7ks with an impedance adapter?

    I am getting D7ks and LCD2s later this year and have been looking at amps. The lyr is said to be amazing with the LCD2s,but won't work with the D7ks because of the power of the lyr. Can that be safely (not sacrificing sound quality) changed with an impedance adapter? Thanks in advance.

    Finally narrowed my selection to three amps! Lyr,Asgard 2,HA-160D.

    I will have LCD2s,M-100s,XB1000s,and D7ks as my main cans. I was told that the lyr was way too much power for the D7ks,but i love the tubes! I love how i can just buy some off weird tubes i've never heard of off of ebay and experience new sound for like $20. But if it wont work for most of the...

    Schiit Lyr/Bifrost uber combo,is it for me?

    I made a promise to myself last night to get serious with my audio. I have some M-100s and MG7s,but i've been drooling over the LCD2s for like a year,but those aren't the only cans i will be using on my Lyr. I'll be getting the D7ks,Pro 900s,XB1000s,MAYBE the LCD3s,and other cans with a...

    Denon AH-D7000 the ultimate basshead cans?

    Ive read multiple posts saying they are THE basshead headphones,including hifiguy talking about how the bass was not fake. But are the 7100s the same in the bass area? Before you guys roast me,i searched it and didnt find anything. And i'm most likely not looking to buy,just looking to learn...

    CIEMs better than the mg7s?

    I have been very satisfied with my atrio mg7s,probably have 150+ hours on them. I know what you're thinking,"That isn't very long? Why is he looking for new CIEMs so soon?" but i'm not really looking for new CIEMs. I just wanted to know if there are any with more bass then the mg7s...
