Headphone Reviews and Discussion

Alright so this IEM has been discussed quite extensively in the M7, M9 and Z1R thread. The M9 has even somewhat been the star of the show in that thread. But I still believe an IEM of this caliber deserves it's own thread for people who want to read about it all in one place. Plus, this is an amazing IEM and I feel this thread has the potential to be quite popular one day, which will in turn stroke my fragile ego and earn me major internet points. This is my first BA IEM and to be honest I... Read more

Hello and welcome, since there was no established thread about Lavricables brand, I decided to start one, where owners can share their experience and people looking for aftermarket cables can find more information to decide on. So without further ado, let's kick this first post off with my first humble review here at Head-Fi! Used gear & where I'm coming from I'm auditioning Meze Empyreans for a third week already, they were my dream headphones ever since I found magic in my... Read more

Hey everyone. Lately, a certain YouTuber/headfier really got my head scratching @Resolve to be exact. The guy says that he doesn't care about the signal chain stuff; he would rather believe in Equalizing. To give a bit of background, I have been in the hobby of 2-channel speaker systems for over 20 years, and the headphone hobby for about 17 years. I have owned systems that cost over 300,000.00$. With each system, I found the relevant Amplification / DAC allows the... Read more

Just thought these deserved their own thread separate from Verite. Anyone at RMAF please post about the Aeolus impressions here. Also general discussion about them is more than welcome! I love the rich, chocolatey, diabetes sound of my ZMF Atticus so the Aeolus definitely intrigues me! From @Hansotek

I searched and couldn't find a thread specifically dedicated to impressions from owners of the Hifiman Goldenwave Prelude headphone amplifier, so I thought I'd start one. First, I haven't actually received the amp yet, but I'm hoping it will arrive later this week or early next week, and thought I'd get this thread going just to get the preliminaries out of the way. I find it interesting that there hasn't been much discussion about this amp here on Head-Fi, but I suppose that's... Read more

Dear All, I decided it was worth having a dedicated thread for these (apparently) wonderful custom monitor brands. There are a few impressions here and there on HF but no dedicated thread for all there models. Compact Monitors was a very reputed German audio brand who has been operating for years (first impressions on Headfi are from 2009 but the company was apparently 12 years old). The company was recently divided between the two owners Felix Reinsch, who started Rhines Custom... Read more

It's been close to a year since the last meetup in Markham. Any interest in another? Would a more central location help with attendance?
