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...

"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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hey guys, Just figured it's easier to ask; what resources have you found for finding other speakers with similar sonic signatures? In the event that your budget does not accommodate matching your fronts in quality... have you found tools that help you find similar signatures for your surrounds...

Going to be going 4K by Boxing day the latest, finally budget allows me to replace receiver after going on an unexpected trip with a babe. I was looking at the Denon X4000, but after reading a bunch into it and speaking with a few dealers, seems they have a problem with transistors burning out...

Just thought I'd give a heads up on ASUS' new GTX 970 0db operation when there's low gfx draw, for those who multipurpose their HTPC for heavier workloads when not delving into film and music. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eqz4tDM6Wl8

Audiholics' Facebook page just posted the Emotiva ERT-8.3, and it caught my attention. The configuration with the tweeter on the inside and other woofers on the out ... I've never heard before. Every speaker setup I've had has had weak dialogue, and while the sound stage has been decent... for...

Hey guys, Back once again for another recommendation. I listen to a lot of thrash metal, ... very loudly. I can't deal with ear buds because the pressure causes me pain, but over ear is not a problem at all for me. I can't explain it, but that can be left to doctors. Meantime, I need a set of...

Hey guys, Thinking this year my nieces are all growing up and all four are in high school now. Time for their uncle to understand they're grown ups now and not get them something too Kiddish right? The Challenge: Headphones under $50 that are solid quality but are at the same time sharp...

I've used Cyberlink PowerDVD12 Ultra, and it was playing every film fine for the longest time, but months later after not having watched any... all of a sudden... my Dredd would not load. I setup WinDVD Pro 11... and same thing. Stargate and other Blu Rays play no problem, but Dredd will not...

Via Gizmodo: A Promo Code For Audiophiles Is Your Dealzmodo-Exclusive Deal of the Day Back in September, we ran this same deal of the day and folks really liked it. Basically, Sound Earphones is a pretty cool audio retailer based in Cincinnati, and they carry a lot of high end stuff—Grados...

I honestly don't know where else to bring this up. It's frustrating - really, really... REALLY... frustrating. Every pair of in-ears I've ever owned have caused me a great deal of pain, even at low volumes. Regardless of tips doesn't seem to matter. I don't even have words for this really. I've...

Hey fellas, Spring's finally here, and I don't know about you, but I need to be getting in shape. Can't exactly run with the cans on, so it'd be time to look at ear buds, ideally that have the ear contour wrap around. Figuring a budget of about $50-60. Of course that flex's if there's an...

Hey fellas, Thought I'd give a heads up... because this application works like the smoothest dream you don't ever want to wake up from. ...Yep... that good. Installed on a fresh new Windows setup... and it handles ISO Mounting images, burning BDXLs, Music burning, even comes with a side product...

Hands down... best blu ray I own. I've been a fan of Dredd, Death, and 2000AD for years and years, but while I may be classified as a fan boy... I'm still a film buff and audio junkie. Don't take this with a grain of salt. Dredd IS the action movie you need to see - that you need to buy. While...

I just got my HK out of the shop and it's performing better than it did when I got it. I'm pretty stoked, but having a bit of trouble now that I've re-calibrated everything. With DTS I'm finding the dialogue volume is very low. My concern is if I raise the volume of my center channel higher...
