    Classic Integrated Amplifiers!

    This thread convinced me to pull the trigger on a very nice LUXOR 7082-A. Local auction, I low balled on a no-bid and got it for $120 (25% below the bid minimum). The unit is visually in excellent condition and the case has no damage save for a light "coffee cup-sized" ring on top. I wrapped...

    YONGSE Y01 Balanced Headphone Adapter Review

    Well, I bought the Yongse Y-01 for the hell of it. Just to see how it compares to my other dongles (Abigail, CX-Pro, etc. etc.). It's a decent dongle for IEM's. I wanted the convenience of a 4.4 connector for my balanced cables, even if it lacks the benefit of a true balanced output. Works fine...

    June 2024 - Need a good transparent sounding IEM - budget $60 max

    ARTTI T10 (just under US$60 on AliExpress sale). A planar (14.2mm) driver. Nice fitment, light, and comfortable to wear for long listening sessions. Planar speed of attack. Planar detail resolution. Good imaging. Well tuned. Probably one of the best planar IEM's and exceptional at its price...

    Do you invest money in IEM cables for Design and comfort?

    There a so many cable choices out there, it's a bit daunting. I found the NiceHCK BlueLuna to be the very best option for me. It's flexible, comfortable, doesn't tangle and it has the screw-down lock for it's modular end, supporting 3.5, 4.4 BAL, and 2.5 BAL. It's of excellent quality. A...

    Best 'Bang for your buck' IEM - Poll

    MP145's are deserving of their near-universal praise. However, at under $60, the ARTTI T10's (another new planar) are my choice on price/performance. I own both, enjoy both. I would give a slight preference to the MP145 on design/build quality over the lighter plastic shell T10's. However...

    Hidizs MP145 IEM Review

    ARTTI T10 (US$58 on AliEx sale)...well accessorized. NiceHCK F1 Pro (US$85 on AliEx sale)...nice selection of tips...very well accessorized. Both utilize 14.2mm planar. Both are a bullet style. Fitment for both should be very good. F1 Pro has the anodized allow shell. Tuning on both is...

    Best IEMs between $200 and $300?

    My current favorite is the Hidizs MP-145, for around US$120 (when on AliEx sale), very closely followed by the ARTTI T10, for around US$55 (when on AliEx sale). Both are planars. Both are well tuned. Both are nicely accessorized (cables, tips), though the MP145 comes in a leatherette bag in lieu...
