I'm on Fire - one of the most powerful love songs ever written and that is a fact. There are thousands of covers of the songs. These are some of my favourite version of the song. Which one of these do you like most: 1) The Boss - The original 2) The Staves - female harmonies 3) Carson...

My projector, Optoma UHD55, has dual HDMI inputs. HDMI 1, which a standard input, and HDMI 2, which offers WCG (wide colour gamut). When using HDMI 1, the source signal will dictate the projector display mode i.e. if it is fed an HDR signal (i.e. Dolby Vision from Netflix) it will auto adjust...

While I highly doubt that there will be many of us fortunate enough to attend the upcoming CanJam in NYC at the end of Feb, we can at least listen to their official playlist as curated by Roon. For those using Roon, this is how you can access it: 1. Open the Roon desktop app 2. Click on the...

Keen to try it out ....

I've added a set of Stax SR009 electrostatic headphones and a SRM-007tII tube energiser to my collection of headphones. The sound that these produce is absolutely jaw dropping. If you love headphones, you MUST listen to this. I've been going between this setup and the Audeze LCD5 + iFi iDSD PRO...

I stumbled across this recently. I know it is an oversimplification but attempts to identify how certain dips and elevations in a sound curve/ room response affects how you perceive the sound. So if your system lacks clarity as example, chances are that you have a dip around 2kHz. If you run REW...

So I guess good things do come to those who wait. After ordering a set of these in November last year, they finally arrived. My bank manager has tears in his eyes. First impressions: - Proper open back, there is just nothing that stops external sounds. It feels like there is nothing...

This is quite a nifty idea that is currently an Indiegogo campaign - the TEA portable amp/DAC. It is an ultra thin Sabre ESS DAC and headphone amp that attaches to the back of your iPhone via the Magsafe feature (magnets used to link the phone to the wireless charger). Power wise it delivers...

There was a thread on here a while ago when the new D4 version of the Bowers & Wilkens 8 series was announced with plenty of speculations, conspiracies and the like. I wanted to add this comment to that thread but I just could not locate it via the forum software's search function. Maybe a mod...

A couple of hours ago I wanted to confirm the start time of the first session at Saturday's Cape Town Holo Audio event. Originally the sessions were scheduled for 11h00 and 14h00. The latest post indicated 10h00 and 14h00. I posted a question and tagged ChrisC just to confirm if the times were...

At $4,500 this is kidney money so I will never be able to afford it as I'm scared of scalpels. https://www.ecoustics.com/products/audeze-lcd-5-headphones/

An early stolen photo of the design, specs and US$ prices of the new D4 series to launch soon. Interesting that they dropped the 800 model in favour of an 801. The new natural wood finish (as on the 801 model) looks like good. The 805 model is also slightly larger than the current model being an...

So after 7 years of use, my LCD2 had a driver failure (left driver went dead). I bought a new set of drivers (US$350) from Audeze. The new drivers comes with a set of 3M double sided tape as well to re-attach the ear pads. There are not too many instructions on the internet so I thought I would...

So these arrived yesterday afternoon. While I have not had a enough time to spend with them, my first impressions: - Super easy to drive. The ifi Zen DAC drives these with ease. I achieve what I would consider my normal listening volume at around 9'o clock on the ifi with these. My Beyer DT770...

Folks, I have had such pleasant dealings with Arbalest (the official SA Audeze importer) that Craig from Arbalest and I started chatting and Revelation Acoustics is now an official Audeze authorised dealer. I would like to offer a few different sets for demo and I will try to acquire these are...

Heads up scifi/action movie lovers .... you HAVE to watch "The Tomorrow War" on Amazon Prime. Chris Pratt / Yvonne Strahovski. It is an action packed roller coaster ride.

Not sure if anyone has bought the new Apple TV 4k (6th gen)? I own both the 5th and 6th gen and I must say the new remote is a massive improvement over the 5th gen design. Below is the 5th and 6th gen remotes side by side: The 6th gen one is also almost 3 times as thick as the 5th gen model...

Music is my first love. I re-live important life milestones by listening to the music that are linked to those events stupidly oblivious to the many music appreciation impediments of audiophilia. I count myself lucky. I was born in the mid 70's and 'discovered life' in the late 80's / early...

Anyone here use these Beyers? Thoughts please if you do. Seems like folks prefer them (semi-open) to the DT990 (open). Also, I wonder how much more difficult they would be to drive compared to the 250ohm versions of the Beyer headphones.

I'm trying to get a feel for the number of Audeze users in SA to see if we can not convince Audeze US for more support here in SA. If you own a set (whether working or broken), please indicate so.
