    Ear Health - Pain from IEM & Supra-aural but not circumaural?

    I seem to have this long standing issue that I can't wrap my head around :( IEM and Supra-aural headphones even at some of the lowest volumes, cause a sharp pain in my ears, especially after prolonged use. The same goes for phone receivers for land lines and cells. Though circumaural even at...

    Audeze - Break in and Robbery

    "Last night, Februrary 28th, there was a break-in and robbery at Audeze. About $250,000 of headphones were stolen. We're a relatively small company and this is a real blow. Audeze asks everyone to let us know if offered LCD headphones at a deal that’s too good to be true. You should be highly...

    Blue Mo Fi - Layman's Review

    Prefacing with - "I've never done a review before". This community has offered me a lot of help in the past, so I'll do my best to contribute. Recently acquired Blue's first headphone "Mo Fi" @ $400 CAD. These headphones have a few points that they market strongly as re-inventing the headphone...

    NAD AVR Lineup

    Good to see another manufacturer is going this route too. Are there any other of these user upgrade-able receivers out there? Ideally, just looking for a solid, reliable receiver, that doesn't overdo it with options (fewer points of failure pref), under $1000. I'd even be fine just sticking to...

    NAD AVR Lineup

    Anything in particular lead you to suspect reliability declines? Anyone know if they've been bought out recently? The modular idea is brilliant, but then too I wonder if people would get gouged on parts. What's most on my mind with NAD is probably what protocol does it fall back on when a...

    NAD AVR Lineup

    Not going to lie, ... one of the most massive stressers with hardware upgrades is the market pressure for me not being able to afford bad choices. I'd had an HK AVR 354 repaired a ways back and it's since been great. Now I have a different line in on a few manufacturers to get different...

    Second hand electrostatics - Good investment?

    The fella with the MLs hasn't gotten back to me with photos. I don't see it happening, but thank you for the power amp vendor tips guys. I haven't truly ventured into separates as the only time I'd delved was a phono pre with genelecs. Powered speakers cheating the going-broke-over-a-power-amp...

    Second hand electrostatics - Good investment?

    Thanks Seth, Not contingent, no. Would there happen to be a more suitable bang-for-buck power amp under $1500 for SL3s that you guys might know? Also, I guess I may need to call ML, but curious about approximate cost of replacing membrane. I'd seen another set of a 96 model at $1800 that had...

    Second hand electrostatics - Good investment?

    Hey, guess I fall under audiophyte because I definitely do have a lot to still learn. Been looking at a second hand setup where each of the sellers claim excellent or near mint condition. I've got a guy wanting to sell me Martin & Logan SL3 @ $700 And a YBA 2 HCDT for $1500 My question would...

    New Home, Time for new setup? *w/ pics*

    So... I'd hunted for as long as I could for a house that would support the audio and video setup I would've been interested in. Approval's done, and seems I'll be in a condo that's different than expected, but still really swell for the price to me. I've posted the downstairs in order to show...

    Headphone - Rebuild

    Hey guys, Been a while. Week or two ago, my babies I've held for about 7-8 years finally caved under pressure. DenonDJ HP-1000s the hinge gave way. I've since replaced them with Blue's Mo Fi. I couldn't resist, regardless of the gimped sound stage given that they're for my office, isolation...

    New to vinyl

    Didn't think it would be offensive. I just disagreed that pops and crackles were the reason to listen to vinyl. I don't use formats to hear their imperfections, and I wouldn't play something that was so damaged that lyrics were missing. Apologies. Rating undone in case it caused any damage. The...

    New to vinyl

    I finally set it up this weekend, played an album fresh out of the sleeve, and could not believe the clarity. ... Then, ... I played it a second time... and crackles and pops... very subtle but there... were present. This being mentioned because... well... part of this whole vinyl deal is also...

    New to vinyl

    I'm in Canada. Normally doesn't out so well getting gear here unless I drive down to pick it up. Would be $456 what I paid (in USD), but yeah after reading how much the Debut III was going for, I don't feel I've gotten a steal.
