Hi,    I'm currently planning to buy a CowonJ3 > FiiO E11 > UM Miracle   however, I just realised that the FiiO doesn't seem to have any LOD for Cowon?   and I read somewhere that if I were to use the jack-to-jack wire to connect my MP3 to AMP,  it wouldn't work as well, in fact it...

hello guys, i have a question to ask. can the pico slim work with earphone that has a mic?   thanks :)

I'm moving from Canada (110v) to a 220 v compatible country. I notice there is an internal 110v-220v switch for Lisa XP/LLP power supply (somewhere on Headfi). But I did not find it when I dispatch it. If you can point out where is it, it will be much appreciated. Please see the pic for...

Hi everyone!   I have a quick question, I'm planning my first DIY audio project (building a pocket amp) and I was wondering if my first project should be a PIMETA or a Cmoy (with bass boost). I like the PIMETA because it has a built in part on the PCB for a trickle charger, but the Cmoy...

I placed an order on Googlecheckout on May 26th for a purple pico slim. The webpage says 4-week delay. But I don't get a word from Justin and even I called him I couldn't reach him. Voicemails don't work either.   I don't know how to get refund on googlecheckout. I feel hopeless and...

Hey, I just bought these headphones off of a fellow Head fi'er, and have a few bucks left around. So I thought why not look into a portable amp. Im very new to amps, never owned one, but I'd like a portable one. Is there any that are better than others, or can I get some advice. I don't have too...

I am new to high end audio and I primarily use an Apple iPhone and an old 80gb iPod. I will be purchasing some Etymotic HF3's soon but I have never heard the difference between an amped headphone and just one that is plugged in to the music device. I notice amps and the associated accessories...

Hi there my first post so please be gentle    I've recently moved into an apartment and had to make some serious compromises to the way I listen to music.  Headphones would seem to make sense so I'm about to treat myself to a head amp/headphone package.    Apart from ear-buds my only...

I haven't listed this in the for sale section yet as I wanted to gauge interest first. I hope that's not against the rules it's just I haven't got around to taking any photos yet.   I have an absolutely mint WA6 which has been my home amp for probably the past 6-7 months. I bought it from...

  FiiO has provided me with a pre-production sample of their highly anticipated E9 Desktop Headphone Amplifier. I've made a part 1 review of the E9 unboxing which provides general info about the new product and a nice hands-on visual of what you can expect to buy when the E9 goes into...

Is a discounted He6 a good buy compared to the He500 regardles of the amping issues?

Hey all, the title pretty much describes the question. I currently have a Clip+, and will be getting a Fiio E11 soon. Should I save the money for some other upgrade (new cups for grados, recable, possible new headphones), or would be upgrade be worth it soundwise?

I mainly listen to lossless music through my ipod or laptop connected to sr 60s or m50s.  I'm thinking of upgrading to the 225s.  I'm terrified of tinnitus, so I usually listen at half the volume or below and that's plenty for me.  Given that I don't need extra volume and i use low impedence...

Any ideas where I might be able to get one in the UK? The only place I've found that lists it is www.hifiheadphones.co.uk and they show it as "out of stock".   If not,could anyone recommend a similarly priced alternative?

Hi, I'm wondering which of the two amps would pair well with a UM Mage IEM, I'm going to be using an iPod classic as a source.

I've been looking for a portable headphone amp for a little while, and I've come across the PA2V2. From what I've read, it's a great amp for a good price. My only issue is this though; at the moment I'm only using a pair of Sennheiser HD 428's, so will this amp give me any noticable increase in...

Hi, I will be getting SRH750's somewhere in September and I was wondering if an amp is necessary. What are the benefits of having an amp for these headphones and also, what are the advantages to having an amp at all? I'm new to all of this since I've never had headphones that cost more than...
