HOW TO GET THE BEST SOUND FROM IEMs - how to fit and get the best sound:

Two important points:  1.  IMO IEMs are a vast improvement over previous styles of earbuds, but present greater risk for hearing damage if not used properly.  2.  The sound you hear is only as good as the weakest link in the reproduction.  If your audio file is a 128 mp3, these are...

Your comments about lavender and "a testosterone thing" made me curious (I'm a guy who likes lavender-scented things), and I decided to look into the medical literature to see if there was any truth to the claims floating around on the internet.

The idea of lavender oil increasing estrogen production in men stems from reports of some boys developing gynecomastia ("man boobs") after using hair or skin products containing lavender and/or tea tree...

King Seiko: Where is it now?

Seiko is no stranger to any of us here, but I recently saw a bunch of pictures and literature online regarding "King Seiko". Of course, Seiko today has their luxury line of Grand Seiko, and the ultra-luxury Credor, but I had never heard of King S...

Why are you misleading people with your...

For skin effect to actually be an issue here it needs to be relevant to below 20khz which is what the percentage of conductor calculation is useful for.

I own the DAC portion of this system.  I think it is superb and would not hesitate to recommed picking this up if it suits your needs.  The rest of the post is detail on my system and listening style so you can make your own conclusions.

I use the "cheapo" power supply supplied with the DAC and not the fancy separate one that is part of this drop. I put quotes around fancy because it's a better power supply than most device supplies. Anyway, I...
