As long as its comfortable. ;)

Basically I am more inclined towards treble.

Rumble is always comfortable and it's what you would expect in a game, movie and some music genres.

What about other audio gears?
Do your research. Head fi forum is a good start but beware of the hype mongers. There are many who will overshoot the hyperbole of exaggerations.

Back to school!!
hmmmm :rolleyes:
i see an audiophile in the making :D




i get it ! you cracked the deal wisely without hurting yourself :wink:



will try for that. and which one's better according to you - the PX100-I, or PortaPro ? these 'headfi-ers' do nothing except confusing you thoroughly :-x :p
Never tried PX100 I, but porta pro is very nice indeed, some say they use the same drivers, in that case I'd say porta will be more comfortable.

Thanks man ..:)
Its pronounced as suhail...

It's the brand premium which you pay for. Can get better sounding phones at lesser prices.

have no personal experience with bose what-so-ever, but this what faun has written is echoed universally over the net among informed people.

i see 'comfort' is a big thing with portas. PX100-I i guess is available with a seller over at [E].

I got mine from Dimitri Trush from Musicaacoustics along with Ortofon e-Q5.
Store

Send a mail to him
trush [at] musicaacoustics /dot/ com

If you finalize to buy from musicaacoustics then do tell me because I need a pack of ortofon tips, will send the money to Dimitri and club it with your parcel. I'll pay some part of the shipping price (remember to go for EMS speed post shipping).

I had to pay 277 rupees as custom duties for my order (FXT90 + Ortofon e-Q5).



Sure. But lot other IEMs here to be reviewed.


As a DAC Asus Xonar STX is clearly better. Haven't compared it to the sole AMP.

So should i buy asus xonar stx over fiio E17 :|
& i check the store but they r out of stock (JVC FXT 90 )
but i had checked another one Fischer Audio DBA-02
what do u think about this one?
how is Ortofon e-Q5 compared to JVC FXT 90?

Yes, get the ST version (if you can) which can be upgraded with daughter card and has better clock. Though ST has PCI interface and STX has PCI-e.

But if you are looking for a portable amp + dac then E17 is good. Anyway MP4Nation preorder got delayed to end of March.

Did you get the confirmation mail from Dimitri ?

but i had checked another one Fischer Audio DBA-02

It's better to get Branwavz B2 instead of DBA-02 because both are same except for the label, and B2 goes for as low as $99 on special occasions. These lack in bass, are quite aggressive in presentation, not so good soundstage (please confirm this from other reviews) and treble is piercingly awesome (the best part). I'd say that these are for trebleheads and can be fatiguing for longer listening.

However if these are MK II version then they have slightly lesser treble quantity. esanthosh posted a brief review and there is a thread dedicated to MK II version of Fisher Audio DBA-02 (though read it with a pinch of salt, don't fell baited to the hype mongers).
Fischer DBA-02 MKII - Impressions and review thread: CK10 threatened!

how is Ortofon e-Q5 compared to JVC FXT 90?
:-?
Ortofons are technically superior to FXT90. Reminds me of more analytical IEMs due to their balanced nature. Not the most musical ones. Mids are silky fluid. Bass has good decent body (no bass bump at all) and the best part is bass texture + speed. I love this. Treble has got enough spark but can be fatiguing for longer use. Not sure if you will like the sound signature or not because these got mixed reviews.

These retail for over $200.

I'd recommend you to go for <$150 IEMs. And in that FXT90 excels brilliantly, though these are not balanced (with slight mid bass hump). But the soundstange, instrument separation and imaging is great. Mids are not recessed, with good weight, sounds very good with vocals, timbre of instrument gets as real as it can (similar to it's elder cousin FX 700 as confirmed by others.). Maintains good detailing too. These get generally positive reviews from high end gear owners and lo fi owners alike.

Dont take my word here as absolute.

1. Read the FXT90 appreciation thread in head fi (*www.head-fi.org/t/563722/jvc-ha-fxt90-appreciation-thread-user-info-buying-guide-reviews-on-page-1)
2. Ask joker (Multi-IEM Review - 225 IEMs compared (id America Spark & UE Super.Fi 4 added 02/26/12)) in head fi about your sound preference and budget. He's got some good experience reviewing over 200+ IEMs. And another person is ClieOS (In Ear Matters: The List).

Nightmare congrats on the purchase. But was wondering what is the use of this for?

Guys I'm looking for a set of speakers with woofer for around 1k for my laptop. Any good product that you can suggest?

Nice purchase but what difference does it make between cheap cables ? Any noticeable change in sound quality ?

Thanks. Not too much, now hard to find some leakage but I have to replace the 6.6 mm jack with gold plated one then may be I can tell you the difference. My suggestion don't buy if you find good quality local cable.

Nightmare congrats on the purchase. But was wondering what is the use of this for?

Thanks. To establish the connection between my laptop and amp in order to use my headphone. As you can see in picture below a white cable from my laptop jack is connecting to 3.5mm female to 6.6 male connector in amp.
