RAAL-requisite CA-1a Circum-Aural Ribbon Headphone is here! @HeadAmp
wow i mean low end stax are some ugly buggers but i think these beat out even them, i mean i know its about the sound not the look, ive owned plenty of ugly as sin amps in the past from the likes of cyrus but they really do look shockingly poor, im sure they sound great but still- emba4

[TIFU] I Killed my Gryphon!
No it won't and even if wouldn't attempt a board repair on that, it's not unrepairable of course, I could do it but I currently don't have the time and the lovely user above sold me his for a great price so I'm happy- emba4

Struggling to love what is technically an upgrade (LCD-2 to LCD-X)
i always loved my LCD-2s, ive never heard anything under £1500 i preferred, so when my bamboos broke about a year ago i went and listened to a selection of others and ended up buying another pair of LCD-2s. not too long ago i broke them too (one of the magnets somehow dislodged at the front and...- emba4

Super (capacitor) charging your iFi Zen Can (and other zen products and possibly other manufacturers)
ive often dabbled with the idea of getting an older or cheaper amp or even amp kit then replacing as many parts as possible with high quality ones to see the results, EG can you turn an average amp into a good one by upgrading its components or will it just make a mess of the sound? ive been...- emba4

Warning click bait: I hate to EQ
im not a massive fan of EQ myself but thats because i seems somewhat crap at getting it right and the presets often dont agree with me, probably because i think you should likely EQ to your ears not a particular curve. i have however wondered, generally with most things audio we will prefer...- emba4

Poll: How long did your last headphones/earbuds last?
my Etymotic ER-4Ps (custom eartips and cable) lasted me 8 years, they were still good as gold when i lost them. i still kinda miss them, i know i could replace the IEMs themselves but the tips were made by ACS who no longer do custom tips only their own custom IEMs, sure there are other custom...- emba4

Recommendation for portable headphone amp...reqts in post
if you want direct USB connection youll need a DAC/Amp if youre happy using the ibasso/your PCs 3.5 (if the ibasso doesnt have a USB DAC mode that is i think my old one did) you can just get an amp as long as youre happy with the sound personally i love my gryphon and the older xcan can be...- emba4

i am loving the fact were at the stage its viable to use supercapacitors in consumer grade stuff, the first i saw was only a few weeks ago in a new miniware cordless soldering iron, great seeing them used in audio tech too. id consider something like this myself but i run from a Gryphon which is...- emba4

LCD-ZB, Dr Frankenstein's Audeze

[TIFU] I Killed my Gryphon!
Thankfully I'm a board level repair technician who usually works on iPhones so I should be able to fix it all going to plan. If not though I'd be very tempted. Especially as I'm fighting to love the LCD-x sound, I just preferred my 2s. I see a pair of meze Lirics in my near future- emba4

[TIFU] I Killed my Gryphon!
the latest tale in my usual run of HiFi bad luck, a few weeks ago my LCD-2 closed backs died, i thought the membrane had popped, on further inspection what happened was evidently they got a knock somewhere that had dislodged one of the magnets at the front which had then snapped to the one below...- emba4

Comment by 'emba4' on listing '[BROKEN] Audeze LCD-2 Closed back'
i know i got quoted when i broke the first pair, a refurb would be £500 plus shipping, they also offered a discount on the new style headband if i wanted to buy it, instead i bought the essentially brand new "ex-demo" LCD-2 closed back for £550, so while its not restrictively expensive it is...- emba4
