    CHORD Alto Headphone/Power Amp Review

    It is extremely strange to see a $4,000 distortion generator to be "recommended" on this platform. Maybe it has warm slam, dynamic timbre, textured imaging, and good decay without sibilance, who knows... It seems like one of those Rotten Tomatoes ratings with 98% from the "critics" and 11% from...

    "Bias" of some members towards headphone measurements?

    Facts and knowledge are extremely important to some people. But completely unnecessary to assemble an opinion for some others apparently.

    Planar magnetics with the least sound leakage

    DCA Aeon Closed X and Audeze LCD-XC are both good choices. But let me provide you with an underrated option: Monolith M1070C (by Monoprice) The comfort and feel is almost identical to LCD-XC (except the case and fancy CF cups). In fact it's hard to tell it's not an LCD-XC clone. Guys, c'mon...

    Fosi Audio DS2 Portable DAC & Amp Review

    The code doesn't seem to work on Amazon... And a 10% automatic price increase on all outlets upon review... Good product, not so customer friendly practices.

    My little portable headphone streamer stack

    I've always loved Chord Mojo's concept especially paired with the Poly streamer, but NOT the price. I often spend time in the backyard and listen to music but I don't have proper elemental protection. I really love my Hifiman HE-6's but they're power hogs beyond the capacity of my mobile device...

    Eversolo DMP-A8 Balanced Streamer/DAC Review

    WOW! The very definition of ONE-AND-DONE-AUDIO-DEVICE. If I were to ever spend $2,000 on a single hi-fi equipment, this would be the one.

    dCS threatens with a 7-figure lawsuit over a review

    I wouldn't call anyone who would pay over $12k for a basic signal processing device a "rational person" in this day and age, but maybe that's just me; difference of perspectives I presume.

    dCS threatens with a 7-figure lawsuit over a review

    On a positive note, I applaud headphones.com for cutting their ties with dCS and publicly announcing their decision with proper reasoning; THAT'S how you treat bullies, NOT by removing your reviews like a coward.

    dCS threatens with a 7-figure lawsuit over a review

    I really don't understand why overpriced snake oil manufacturers are so scared and threatened by objective reviews. Only sane and intelligent people care about objective performance of hi-fi equipment, who are not even tangential to the customer base of these of these scammers to begin with.

    What is the deal with expensive HiFi racks?

    Thank you for the context and information. But in my opinion context doesn't add value to something that is ordinarily ugly or extremely easy to come by. Eames Lounge Chair is a nice design, but sharing the name doesn't add any value to that sloppy box. That particular piece of plywood; I...

    No, it's just the opposite.

    This literally can't be real. Is it real? Nah, how can people be THAT stupid?

    Legal fund for Reviewers/Erin?

    It's sad to see a domain expert cave in so easily in the face of empty threats... These companies resort to such scare tactics in desperation hoping to invoke a fear response and when people are scared off so easily, it just encourages more to do the same.

    Cute new schiit speaker amps

    Depends on how sensitive your speakers are.

    Cute new schiit speaker amps

    One overlooked advantage of these amps, especially valuable in my opinion, is ZERO HISS that I've been unable to experience with anything even close to this price range.

    Extreme Snake Oil

    I recently stumbled upon these before I even heard the "brand" called Synergistic Research: https://www.synergisticresearch.com/acoustics/blackbox/ It's a black box (LITERALLY!!!) that magically transforms sound just by placing somewhere in the room. They won't even bother explaining how, it...
