| Does Anyone Know What is Up with High Fidelity Cables? Since I added two things to my system simultaneously and the music lover in me outweighed the engineer in me, I wanted to go back and listen to the individual effect of the Shockwave ethernet cable and the CF-1. So I unplugged the CF-1 overnight ... | |

| Raal Immanis top of the line headphones I had a 2-channel system in various configurations for over 35 years and recently sold all components for various reasons. IMO, the only headphone I have heard that gives a reasonable approximation of a live musical event in a performing space in... | |

| RAAL 1995 headphones, Magna and Immanis As I have posted on Head-Fi, my problem with conventional cupped or IEM phones is not being able to fully suspend the disbelief that I am listening to music from two small cups where most of the tiny sound is inside my head. Yes, there are some t... | |
| advice for headphones? Yep, Head-Fi.com. Believe it or not, there are headphones that are not ridiculously bass-prominent. HiFiMan Susvara and RAAL SR-1b for instance. | |
| Head-Fi can be so hardcore Interesting thread. If I can weigh in here about Head-Fi and headphone enthusiasts. First, headphones have not yet seen the drastic and unprecedented rise in prices seen in speaker-based systems. The most expensive, at least regular production ... | |
| Buying from Parts Connexion I bought some HiFiTuning fuses and there were no problems other than they are slow to ship items, at least in my experience. | |
| Songs with excellent advice? The Isolation of Mister by John Mellencamp. | |
| Experiences Selling Stuff On Audiogon? I stopped using Useless Audio Mart since I kept getting rogue buyers who never responded to my acceptance of their offers or they never paid after they told me the payment was upcoming. Yes, AG charges a lot but you get what you pay for. At AG a... | |
| Need to build a headphone system I bought some Kennerton headphones a couple of years ago from Audio 46 and the transaction went well with no issues. They do have a pretty impressive list of headphones from modest offerings to some of the most expensive, so it might be a good pl... |
