    Did my UE Triple-Fi's just die?

    Wow. Just got off the phone with Logitech/UE. Great dude on the phone. Started the replacement process. I have like 25 days of warranty left so they picked a great day to die. This is the second time a headphone company blew me away with service (first time being Westone). Makes the high price...

    Did my UE Triple-Fi's just die?

    azncookiecutter -  How long have you had you TripleFi's? I was lead to believe on the website they only have a 30 day warranty and these are almost a year old. I suppose I will need to investigate that option.

    Did my UE Triple-Fi's just die?

    Haven't been here in a long time. I think the bass driver in my left Triple-Fi just quit. I tested multiple different tips and even tried it in both ears and a-b tested with right and the low end is all but gone in the left ear. Not sure if I should try to get a new cable or if something in the...

    iPod Touch?

    My Cowon D2 is beginning to show its age and I would rather buy a new player than just throw a 32GB SD card at the problem. After a long time away from Apple I think the 64GB Touch is my best option. Primarily I will be listening through my Denons, Koss CLips, and my soon delivered Triple-Fi...

    Good closed isolating phones for monitoring

    My brother is a sound guy at a little venue in these parts and is looking to buy a decent set of cans to help with work and also so he stops stealing my Denon D1001Ks. The only flaw we find with the Denon's for this purpose is they don't block quite enough sound. Want a similar around $100 pair...

    High Capacity Player

    Been away for far too long and return looking for a player recommendation. I currently have a older Cowon D2 8Gb (16SDHC) and it has been pretty good to me. I like its sound, small size, and sweet as hell battery. However, even if I shelled out for a new 32SDHC card, I wouldn't have quite the...

    Alien DAC + HEADSIX vs. 2MOVE

    The Alien plus the HEADSIX is a bit cheaper and i don't need a portable dac but the amp should be portable. The 2 Move is pricer but does it sound better? Looking for all opinions for a sub $200 amp / dac setup with at least the amp having portability. I use Denon D1001k's as primary listening...

    Entry Level DAC Amp Combo?

    Corda 2 Move seems about right and Meier seems like a fun company considering Jans presence here and the cost is not bad, but building my own appeals to the geek in me. Only USB out on the ThinkPad. Great lappy but very business/ work oriented.

    Pink noise works wonders for burning-in!

    I was a little skeptical of burn in as a whole, it made some sense but I am always a skeptic. I just put 8 hours of pink noise into my year old PX100's and on some stuff they do sound livelier. Its like they opened up a bit more. Particularly on Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake. Rocking that now...

    Entry Level DAC Amp Combo?

    Just ordered my Denon 1001k's and have some cash sitting around and my next obvious buy would be source stuff. I am using the crummy sound card in my ThinkPad and think a DAC could do some good. Also I have a Cowon D2 which could see benefit of an amp. I want something basic that is maybe...

    Just ordered Denon d1001k on Amazon!

    I pulled the trigger on the first pair of D1001k's I found under 80 bucks on Amazon. The seller seems legit and hopefully i get these next week. Now my wallet will reload and I can consider Markl mods and eventually an amp so i can prepare to move into hp's requiring an amp.

    ATH EW9 questions.

    Scoping out my next pair and these look so flippin cool. They seem to be well liked. I just want to know if they leak sound and if i can get a different pair of cans that don't leak and sound better for rock and metal at this price. Thanks for the help.

    Just want to thank Westone

    For anyone interested in great customer service on headphones, I just sent my UM-1's back for service when one ear went quiet. I actually spoke to a real person in Colorado Springs where Westone is located, they actually called me back to let me know they received my headphones and when they...

    Guitar-fi anyone?

    I just threw a TubeWorks Real Tube overdrive in my chain. Its different but kinda cool. Need a few days to mess around with the tone. @ bloodydoorknob, i am truly jealous of the little setup. Nice freakin guitar.

    Looking for a closed can with detail... I think

    Isolation isn't terribly important. Leakage is. I listen at a reasonable level so that definitely helps me lean toward the denons

    Looking for a closed can with detail... I think

    If detail is hearing every instrument and the layers they build, thats what I want. I had a good experience with AKG K240's but they are open and I need no leakage. I have IEM's and I'm not in love with them for anything but playing drums. $200 would be a fair budget. Right now the Denon...

    The Next Pair?

    After listening to a set of AKG 240s, I realized I am leaving a lot on the table with my current arsenal. I am in the process of getting my UM-1's repaired under warranty and now have a job which should allow me to get okay deals on a few brands of headphones. I am looking for metal, rock, and...

    Right ear now very quiet on my UM-1's

    Damn you headphones. The right ear of my Westone UM-1's is very quiet out of every source I've tried. Sound is there but its very faint. What the hell should I do? I wiggled the cables and that changed nothing and tried 3 sources with the same problem each time. Am I screwed or should I call up...

    Need help finding a pair that looks "vintage"

    For great sound, go for the AKG K240, the only problem is they aren't very efficient and need bit of extra power to run. Grado SR60's are probably the best option if she doesn't have the power to run the AKGs.

    Guitar-fi anyone?

    For the small tube, the Epiphone Valve Juniors and even Blackhearts are a bunch of fun for almost no money and skip the noiseless and go lace sensor or anything dimarzio or seymour duncan. Noiseless are a bit overrated and strangle the sound.

    New RX-7 out in a few years!

    The RX8 has had so many problems I would just get a Mazdaspeed 3 or Mazdaspeed MX-5 Miata and have a load of fun that didn't break or get terrible mileage from a tiny engine.

    Best Windows OS for my 900mhz processor?

    I have a similar machine using 98SE and and XUbuntu (xfce interface is the only one i can get to install) both work well enough. Ubuntu is really easy and cheap (read: free) and a great way to make old hardware work again.

    Good online site to buy Camera?

    B&H is probably the best option. Camera prices are essentially the same everywhere and B&H is where pro guys go because they are dependable and fair. My photo teacher who's been shooting digital for more than 15 years will always recommend B&H from his own experiences.
