Hey everyone! I currently run rz50, Klipsch rp8000f and rp450c as my front stage. Everything else is also Klipsch for a 7.1.4 setup. When I started out I had no plan, and my budget wasn't clear, and so this ended up being my first surround system, not build from hand-me-downs from clients that...

Hi everybody, So my current desktop setup is a Sennheiser HD800, NwAvGuy O2/ODAC and a pair of Yamaha HS8 on Primacoustic RX pads. I might be a bit delusional but I believe the HD800 to be the best headphone in the world when EQ'ed, better than the HD800S which has that second harmonic...

I'm keen for your collective wisdom everyone. I'm seeking to upgrade my speakers from the Q Acoustic M20HD for desktop. They are mounted on speaker stands approx. 30cm (11-12inch) on my desk, perfect for tweeter at ear level. My room is about 50% treated, not an optimal size (square shape), but...

Hi, new here, first post. I have two broken DT880s here, broken mostly due to the fact they can't receive a signal since the wires broke. On one, that jack is broken. On the other, the wire is ripped. I'm absolutely done with headphones without a removable wire or with an impossible-to-repair...
