My HTPC used an old motherboard from my worn out PC of 5 years. It ran fine for another 4 years before the old motherboard decided to take it's life one terrible afternoon. Currently using a Asus O Play Mini v2. But, would like to build a HTPC as soon as I can. I briefly considered Intel NUC...

Introduction On the second working day of the second week of the second month of the year at 4 PM, my calling bell rang. This is the second time the UPS franchisee has delivered a package to my address. I eagerly opened the UPS cover, inside which there was a second cover. It contained a...

Overture: The only 'qualification' that I have for attempting reviews is that I could afford to buy all these nice IEMs and somewhat decent collection of sources way back when. Since I am lazy about taking photos and opening sale threads, I retain most of what I buy. That is a curse (to my bank...

Introduction: I normally would have kept the impression to Random IEM rants thread. But, considering that this one is in some ways special, I thought I will post a dedicated thread. First off, SE53X have been high on my "want to hear" list for the last couple of years. Secondly, it's not every...

Preface It's been a long time since I wrote anything resembling a review, because I find it a tedious and boring process. But this is a little bit exciting. Yamaha EPH-100 happens to be IEM #74 for me. Quite possibly my #75 may not be as exciting, because EPH-100 truly a Jack of all trades...

Introduction A couple of months ago, Hisoundaudio ran a promotional bidding process on Head-fi. I was part of the first 20 people to bid on RoCoo-P. In the spirit of full disclosure, it cost me ~ Rs. 4,500 for the player including shipping costs. I was not interested in writing a review at...

Common to All IEMs Product Condition: Unless mentioned, assume pristine condition. IEMs were not used during intense physical activity and always stored in their respective cases. The cases themselves are stored safe from dust inside a shelf. All IEMs have been burned-in for 50 hours, while...

This will be the first of the few FS threads where I will put up stuff for sale. Instead of starting numerous threads, I plan to group the items and limit my sale threads. Items will be added on 'as and when I want' basis. So, please be sure to check up every now and then. List of Items sold...

Right now, with my collection of IEMs across the price range, I've either owned or had an opportunity to try out a few of the better universal IEMs (thanks to loaners from here and head-fi). Now, what's left to explore is the custom IEM territory. It's a bit too costly for me to jump in without...

I was researching about IEMs with mic for a friend recently. He was looking for NE-700M or equivalents. While CC51P was an option, I was not too fond of suggesting You Know Who. MEE uses First Class / Priority shipping for A151 and CC51, which makes the CC51P too costly @ $110 to justify buying...

Introduction It's been how long since I am tempted to write an initial impression within 3 hours? SM3, I think was the last. None between then and now have truly inspired me to write anything, at least not within the first few hours (RE-252, DDM-1, DBA-02 being the only three others to...

First off thanks to haraakiri for arranging this loaner. Introduction I was always intrigued by these Monster Turbine series IEMs, which unlike their ridiculously overpriced cables (or their fugly associations with celebrities like Justina) are well received in head-fi. So when an...

Introduction: Thanks to MEElectronics for sending me A151 to review. Shortly after my M31 review, I tried to push my luck a bit further i.e., not spending out of pocket for IEMs and asked if MEE could send me any other IEMs for review, especially the A151 and CC51. Well! it worked...

Introduction: This is perhaps my slowest review in terms of turn-around time since I got PR401 two months ago. First, a Full Disclosure: I bought it from lendmeurears (also was on eBay) by February. In the interest of full disclosure, at that time, he was running a discount sale at SGD 80...

Introduction: First off, thanks to MEElectronics for choosing me to review M31. I have not reviewed any manufacturer samples so far. Last month, when I found out that MEElectronics had a Review sample giveaway, it was too good to pass. After all, why pass on an opportunity to get a free IEM...

Introduction As an IEM addict who is beyond help, I am always intrigued by IEMs that are never heard of, but suddenly find themselves at the top of a reviewer's ranking. So, when clieOS suddenly rated VSonic GR07 as his #3 right behind RE-262 and TF10, but above e-Q5, I got yet another...

Intro: I was writing lot of impressions of late, but they looked to be going downhill all the way to jargon junk. So, for a while now, I've stayed away from it and am trying out newer music. Still, the little red devil in my brain wakes up and starts analyzing signatures sometimes, which I so...
