help

I have been using this forum for a while, but I don‘t know if something changed, or I‘m just stupid, but I can‘t find the sorted speaker reviews on here anymore. Have they been moved? Or the forum changed? And why is it so hard to find it in the first place… Appreciate the help Cheers

Hello ASR! This is my first time posting! Hope you're all doing well :) I've recently demoed and purchased an Ice Lab Spectrumica and currently have a unit for my personal use on loan from a generous friend of mine. I plugged it into my iFi ZenDac3 (I know it wasn't the greatest purchase) and...

Hi, I have a question. I bought the HIFIMAN HE400se, and I'm unsure if my amp/DAC (FiiO Q1 Mark II) is sufficient for these headphones. Sorry for the noob question!

Hello there everyone! moving into a new house and so I want to upgrade my home theater, and I am confused in the vast sea of equipment going around here. My living room is 19.7 feet by 17 feet for reference. I am confused like proper confused about what AVR to get. First of all, the speaker...

Recently I've been hearing popping/clicking noises from music and other audio. I at first thought it was an issue with my headphones, so I tried others, but it stayed the same. I thought the issue was my DAC so I used my phone, same issue. I thought it might be a coincidental issue with multiple...

Sorry to bother you guys, but I'm not sure if it would work... Like - okay I can plug them into because there is a interface for them - fine, but according to SMSL C200 Manual I should put them in 32 ohm mode right? - because this is 32 ohm and above? Btw what you think about that setup? I...

I bought the Zero Reds and used smaller tips than those in the box. I am looking for another pair that will fit my small ear canals (doesn't need to be an IEM). I use an iPhone 15 pro and an Apple dongle to run my In --ears.

Hi everyone, Yes, just another thread asking for help and recommendations as a beginner audiophile who just started this journey... :facepalm:o_Oo_O This is my current setup: - Headphones: Hifiman H1000 Stealth - AMP/DAC: Hifiman EF500 - Cable: upgraded to a balanced XLR with Neutrik...

Hello, I'm picking a pair of headphones at a reasonable price and a simple DAC-AMP for it. I prefer a dark, warm sound signature, that I can listen to all day long. Bright or treble heavy headphones gave me a headache, that's why I returned those I tried. I mostly play/watch videos or series...

I helped a relative get the same setup as me with a Wiim Ultra and a Hypex power amp. The hardware is not that important here because the problem is not there. Instead ill explain the wiring setup from source to speakers. TV - HDMI ARC - Wiim Ultra - RCA - Power amp - Speaker cable - speakers...

Hi, im new in this forum I have a pretty stressfull situation where i want to upgrade my car sound quality (i have base audio EU variant, so the worst one) I decided to upgrade the speakers with the Axton specific series (2 way on front + the woofers, coaxial in the back) and, for the price...

I have a Marantz PM KI Ruby. When I listen to music I often engage a +1db increase in the bass region using the tone controls. Tonight I sat down to listen to some music and noticed there was only audio coming out of the right speaker. I had just been watching TV through the system without this...

Hello everyone! Long time lurker of this forum, but first time poster. I know this is probably one of the most usual (and probably boring, for most) topics around here, but it would be invaluable if you could help me decide on some headphones (plural) to buy. I have read extensively most of...

Hello, I am moving in a new appartement soon and was thinking of taking the opportunity to create my dream multimedia setup. That consists if on projector (samsung lsp9), the screen, the revel m106, a computer, a synology with roon on it, 2 consoles (switch and ps5) and an apple tv. As you...

My room isnt perfect, but still want to try getting surround sound in my living room. Currently i have an arc, and soon getting an Sub from a friend. Now to the rears, where the problem begins, how should i place them? Blue marks would be my idea, with wall mounts. And i think the era 300...

Hello everyone! I recently got my Hivi Swans OS-10 for my starting speakers, and now im gradually falling in the Audiophile loop-hole. I was searching first on how to connect these speakers with an active subwoofer such as the Edifier T5s, which also has crossover. It led me in thinking to...

Hello! My name is Diego, I am in Argentina. I've wanted one of Astell daps for a while and I found someone who sold me a Kann Cube in excellent...aesthetic condition. Upon bringing it home and testing it out a bit, I quickly noticed that the device is almost in a brick state. When you turn it on...

So I recently got my first audio interface to do some recording, but in the mean time it has become a full time DAC on my desk setup. My signal chain is now setup like this: PC -> Audio Interface -> outputs 1 & 2 TRS to XLR balanced outputs -> Topping A30 Pro XLR Inputs -> Hifiman HE6se My...
