Hello all, I'm looking to move from my ancient little Bose Colour bluetooth speaker to something that gives me a listening experience comparable in enjoyment to what I get from my really not very sophisticated headphones (i.e. I don't have well-trained ears that need optimal sound as my cheap...

Hi everyone! I am in the process of building my first Hi-Fi system. I currently have a pair of Vandersteen 1C speakers and a td309 turntable (no amp as of yet!) My main use case will be listening to music (vinyl and some sort of streaming ideally). Movies are a nice plus. After some looking...

Hi, I'm posting this request for a friend who isn't on the forum, and he would like to ask for your advice on the following matter: I am looking for a pair of headphones that have an accurate response without breaking the budget to use at work, so I would be wearing them while sitting down and...

Hello all, I am Gian and I am new here. :) I would like to embark on my first "serious" DIY project. But before I sink a ton of money in a project that may be doomed from the start, I would appreciate some feedback from more experienced people on whether what I have in mind makes any sense. I...

I've just this month graduated from listening to music from my gaming headsets (Astro A10s) and got some new audio hardware to use with my PC. After looking around a bit, I ended up buying a Superlux HD681 and a SMSL SAP6 amp, and I'm using Equalizer APO with some config I found online for the...

Hi, I feel a bit lost as I'm new to this space, and I'd really appreciate your help. I'm looking to get a setup that would power both a pair of active studio monitors and a pair of headphones. Both are entry-level (JBL 305P MKII and Sennheiser HD 600). At first, I had been considering buying...

Please check out the thread here. Any helpful advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I'm new to "HiFi" so bear with me. I live in an upstairs, carpeted apartment so high quality sound at low volume (without headphones) is my goal. My listening tastes are varied, mostly jazz and classical with some country and classic rock mixed in. My current audio setup is a 20 year old Yamaha...

I've been here at ASR for a while and I really appropriate the work Amirm is doing. But I just can't find any tutorial threat about how to read and analyze the measurements he has been presenting. There is a YouTube video about headphone measurements, but I didn't found anything about DAC and...

Hi, very new here Last summer I started my "hi-fi" career by getting an ifi zendac and a pair of hifiman sundaras for my PC, and I was blown away by how much I loved the combo. So, naturally I wanted to go further, but this time with speakers, and so I, somewhat by impulse, bought a pair of Dali...
