He’s looking for some wired critical listening. He’s expressed interest in some mono price monolith m560. As well the Grado sr125e. I know nothing about either of those yet other than the monolith are Planar. I’ll mention to him about the AT studio’s. Any other suggestions?

I have a friend who is looking to get some new headphones looking to spend $250CAD ish. I lent him my AKG 240mkII’s. He said he liked them but I don’t think the low end response was sufficient for him. I am loooing for suggestions.

Focal makes car audio speakers. Just sayin...

I guess when I say the something is missing I mean that some of the music I listen to just doesn't pop or seem to sound as clear and as rich as I think it should. I find trying to describe sound is tricky. Perhaps it is my choice of music as I do listen to RadioHead and other "pop" music...

Well, yes? I've felt that there's something missing. But I haven't been sure that it's the way the IEM's sound, the "lack" of processing power or amplification or the source itself. There are so many variables that It's been fought to figure out. When I use the outputs on my receivers for...

I am using my iPhone X as my primary source for headphone listening and I 'd like to get the most from my phone. I've looked at portable DAC's, but after discovering the quality of the audio files on my phone is not as good as I thought, I'm looking for suggestions on how to improve the quality...

Well, the little bluetooth amp is working, I'm just not 100% sure of of it's sonic capability. I bought the little one, not the larger one that I thought you purchased, based on the write up on the forum. I'm doing more reading about digital playback via iPhone/Android and other smartphones...

Just wondering if anyone has heard or had any experience with the Elac speaker brand. I've read quite a bit online that they are an amazing "Bang for Your Buck" and I know that this forum is typically a big fan of value gear. I see that they have a tweeter inside the mid driver and I recall...

Hi Gents. Recently I was fitted for custom ear pieces for my Shure se 315 IEM's(primarily for noise isolation) and I thought, what else could I do to maximize my listening experience. So, I've been doing some reading online about portable headphone amps/DAC's to use with my iPhone X. I think...

Just over 7 feet tall(drop ceiling) 15.5 feet wide 26 feet long. Seating is 9.5 feet from the front wall. Front of speakers to the primary seating area is about 8 feet. The back of the speakers are about 16 inches away from the wall. I'm going to remove the sub from the system and see how it...

Oh. And I'd like to give thanks to the members on this Forum. Your enthusiasm and passion for this hobby has reminded and inspired me to get back to something I really enjoy. So thanks for that!

I can relate to that. Three kids all in sports and activities. Wife has two different part time careers (not jobs, careers) and my work keeps me very busy as well. It is very difficult to find time. But, I think that the mental health benefits almost compell me to find a little time here and...

The room is at least twice as long as it is wide, but only about half of it is used as the H/T area, the other half is a play area for my kids. I might get a chance to post some pics or a diagram one day and get some feedback on the setup. I'll try just using the speakers and go from there. I...

Ya know, yes. Right after I posted I realized I was in 2.1 mode. The Energy Exls10 sub that I have, while at the time of purchase was a great value, is not of the same caliber as my main speakers. It does aid with some movie soundtracks but I don't think it's really very good overall. I will try...

So. As per another thread about sitting down to listen to an album I'm struck by the impression that my audio is a little boomy. Sitting here listening to Dark Side of the Moon (I plan to find some modern music after I rediscover my system) and the time sounds a little boomy. I have sound...

You guys crack me up! I think you have to be a smart ass to be a member here and that's a good thing. Interesting points about making music more accessible. Maybe the question goes back to the point that anyone can make and publish music today. I'll go check out the Music section to find some...

That's gold Huey! I haven't seen many but I don't think I've ever seen an interview with Zappa that didn't make me think a bit and smile. To some of the other points, and I think this has come up before, the way we "consume" music is very different. 20 years ago if I liked a song I had to buy...

I don't often get a chance to sit and listen and when I do it's usually with my IEM's or headphones. My HT/main listening area is shared with the kids play area/mini stick rink and it's usually when they are playing that I'd have the opportunity. I guess I probably only get a chance to listen to...

Thanks Zing! I've looked on my computer. It is saying they're AAC files but rate 256 44.1000khz. Is there a thread somewhere around here that explains audio formats and where they "rank". I see that some of my downloaded music says "Mastered for iTunes", my experience tells me that this may not...

...figure out what format and quality the music is on my iTunes on my phone? Some of the music is purchased from Apple, some has been ripped from CD's. I haven't been doing much in the audio world the last couple years and I've found my way back to reading some posts on this forum, and now I'm...
