My little room work in progress.
It's not done, I apologize for the mess. Health issues have put this on hold. It's a small room and I'm likely to sell off my KEF 104.2 loudspeakers and some other gear after surrendering the living room to my wife after her patience of 35 years. She deserved her own little sanctuary.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review
The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners
How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.

oh the other hand, depending on your preferred sig, you can find much better bang for the buck, that cost less and have equal or better SQ..
i own a BUNCH of iem's, the best values have been brands like brainwavz, sound magic(the pl50 is great for audio books and spoken word stuff, but with a tweak to the EQ to flatten their mid centric sig, they are hard to beat for the money, and, you will never find a set of iem's that are more comfortable then the pl50.....if soundmagic would put out a set in the same shape/size(ears) but with a dba...it would be amazing...anyway, everybody whos tried the pl50 with an assortment of tips agrees...i find them best with ety or sony hybrid style tips...) vsonic(who have made some of the brainwavz line), and a few other names well known on sites like anythingbutipod and headfi... )
for the pl50 im currently listening using tips like these http://www.ebay.com/itm/152498116492
those give a deeper fit then any stock tip and are quite comfortable but arent as good for isolation, for that you would want to get the ety triflanges.
the hf5 i cant say anything bad about, i had 1 set fail, they replaced them without any problems and even tossed in a cople extra sets of small triflanges for me when i asked!!!
ety has a great warranty and, on top of it, you can trade in our of warranty broken iem's of theirs for a NICE discount on their products....i one day will trade the hf5's in, when they die(well one of the 2 sets i have) and get myself a set of er4pt's.
isolation alone, the hf5 and other ety sets are the gold standard in my exp(and from all i have read) http://theheadphonelist.com/headphone_review/etymotic-research-hf5-hf2-hf3/
thats what i would recommend, if you want cheaper, even the kids are decent, but they have a very high impedance (so you cant hurt your ears...as a kid...)
hope this helps, jokers reviews are quite good, im glad he moved the reviews he was doing using the headfi forums to his own site with a searchable database ;)
