Hi, I'm not sure if this is the best forum to ask this (so happy to move the question elsewhere). I'm thinking of getting the Flare Audio Isolate Pro "in ear" earplugs but the largest tip they come with (or that can be purchased) is too small for me. The Flare Audio tips are 13mm wide at the...

Hi,   My SPDIF iPurifier has worked perfectly for 5 months but suddenly today it stopped working. All the LEDs are correctly lit so power getting to it doesn't seem to be an issue. But nothing is coming out of the RCA output. I then disconnected the iPurifier and just used the coax cable on...

Thanks.

Hi,   Can someone please let me know the cable length of the iPower supply please?   Thanks

  Just bear in mind that for people incredibly sensitive to it, the actual mathematical amount by which audio and video are not in sync is not so much the issue as the degree of annoyance it causes. If it causes a viewer to either lose interest in the production they are watching or causes...

Well yes, I guess that would be correct since I can see the difference between 40 and 50 millseconds. However, I am actually able to tolerate the lack of fine adjustment meaning that it can still be "out" by 5 ms and I am not too distracted. So long as I can get absorbed "into" the program I am...

OK, just tried them on my Lenovo laptop watching some Netflix. The lag is really awful to my eyes / ears to the point where I can't watch it. Mind you, I cannot adjust the audio or video delay on the laptop like I can on the TV. The synchronisation is, however, perfectly fine using my CX300...

Here is a good article on lip sync perception. Although my annoyance at it being "out" by less than 10 ms is possibly a little above average, it is also recognised to be well within human capability. Apparently humans can be sensitive to it even below 1 ms - a lag which is supposed to be only...

I'm not using bass boost (I hate excessive bass). I just checked with LG support and the adjustability of my 2014 model Smart TV apparently goes from the sound being 50 milliseconds ahead of the video (effectively video delay) to 150 milliseconds behind the video (audio delay). It is adjustable...

As I pointed out, the delay has to be on account of the RS165, because plugging a set of wired headphones into the exact same jack as the RS165 reveals no lip-sync issues whatsoever  - it is exactly the same as listening via the in-built speakers - perfect. Perhaps Rosmadi can advise whether the...

Can you officially confirm or deny  please that the RS185 pads will fit the RS165? The stock RS165 pads are arguably not a good choice for Australia where temps and humidty are higher than most other markets for these headphones. But nor did I wish to spend money on an open-backed TV headphone...

Bought a pair of RS165 this week for TV listening only. Initial impressions were better than expected sound but also extremely distracting lip sync issues, even though plugging a wired set of headphones into precisely the same headphone jack reveals no lip sync issues at all.   Luckily...

Took the words right out of my mouth.

The device they are introducing will the the Chord FRED (Frequency Response Enhancement Device). The world's first ultra high fidelity hearing aid / high end IEM in one.

I was in exactly the same boat as you. Not wanting to go ahead because my impedance adapter was doing the job in terms of totally eliminating hiss and they cost 1/5th the price of the IEMatch. The price here in Ausralia is terrible for the IEMatch as it obviously is for you.   But all that...

  Well I have had it for 5 days now and I do have to say that yes, I am impressed. It is a lot better than an impedance adapter, at least in my situation of a Musical Fidelity M1 desktop amp powering my IE800 IEMs. I have found the ultra setting to be the best. At that setting, classical music...

Hi,   These questions are partly directed to IFi themselves as well as anyone with specific experience with this product.   Firstly, I asked the question  below a little while back but it did not get any replies:   http://www.head-fi.org/t/824609/attenuator-for-ie800   Having read that...

Hi,   I love my IE800 and Musical Fidelity M1 HPAP amplifier and have no desire whatsoever to change either of these components. Of course without any attenuation on the M1 headphone output, hiss is an issue when using the IE800.   Tonight I tried using an impedance adapter I purchased on...

Having suffered neck problems for 20 years I got to a point a few months ago where I could no longer use "proper" full sized headphones (though I still regularly use my PXC300 for working at my computer so very lightweight supra-aurals are still OK). So I undertook an extensive search for a good...

Hi,   Has any owner / user of the Aurix been able to compare it with either the Musical Fidelity M1 headphone amplifier or the Sennheiser HV800 headphone amplifier? I currently own the M1 and it has served me well for the last two years, however with various other unrelated upgrades over that...

  Yes, the mouse draws power from the USB only but I am not sure that it matters  if it does draw power or doesn't (at least in my case). The reason is that I also tried it on a different USB port - the USB port I am using for an externally-powered hard drive - and the result was exactly the...

I bought a Jitterbug yesterday on a whim. I thought even at $79 here in Australia, I wouldn't be jumping out of a window if it made no difference. Furthermore, I don't use a USB DAC and I had planned to simply stick the thing in - of all places - the USB port I use for my mouse on my PC! So not...

We are talking Urushi lacquering here. Perhaps you should educate yourself on that particular subject before casting baseless assertions such as the one below.   Quote:

  My impressions of the TH600 and TH900 are almost identical to yours. I spent several hours comparing both before going for the TH600. Yes, I could hear the improvement in the TH900 - slightly airier, slightly smoother more extended top end, slightly better imaging but in the end these...
