Thank you!

Pretty new to the use of (good) headphones and listening beyond a CD in my car in general. I am moving into doing some recording of my own classical guitar playing.

Welcome Dave. You couldnât be in a better headphone forum. All are treated with respect, no matter where they are (or are not) in their musical journey.

Hello. I just joined this forum. I am a newbie when it comes to music hardware and such. I built a custom pc for many reasons but it needed the
Sound to be good. I just purchased the audeze LCD-2Câs with the schiit Jotunheim with the multibit dac with a modmic for chat with friends. I was wondering would it be worth it to get balanced cables for it as well. Thanks and glad to be aboard.
My new pc rig. That I built.

Welcome! You are jumping in with both feet with the Audeze and the Jotunheim.
I am not sure on the balanced part. Is your source the computer? With my DAP the balanced out is MUCH better. Now I am running my DAP through a desktop amp (Burson Fun-Classic) and the SE output is working just fine. Amazing actually.

Wow thatâs some custom Kobe. Great looking. And welcome. Youâve got yourself some great gear from the get go. Donât be too worried about balanced. If you can afford a balanced cable donât go mad. You may or may not hear a great difference. I personally like running with balanced gear, where possible. For the time being get to know your new setup and your likes and dislikes. Enjoy your new PC and your new audio gear too.

Welcome Joey. One of our topics is about Ultra-Cheap Chinese IEMs. That might be of interest to you. At first Iâd read it and my eyes would glaze over. Lots of model numbers and few models with names. Iâd rather drive a Hellcat than a 500.
Then one day I saw a bunch of good reviews for a headphone that goes for about $17 on Ali Express. I took a chance and have been happily astonished at the good sound ever since.

Yeah Iâve been reading that thread since it began and have finally bit the bullet joining this forum. Still surprised at how some people *cough Torq *cough can spend so much on âbudgetâ IEMs lol

Hello Joey and welcome.
Theyâre cheap, usually fun, and a viable option for hitting the âfree same day deliveryâ requirements when theyâre on Amazon. Itâs not my fault theyâre also shiny âŚ
Since youâre local to Seattle, you may want to participate in an upcoming (seemingly always upcoming, as it happens, schedules have been challenging) mini-meet of people here (and/or the broader local personal-audio group).

To those of us who learned how to type when typewriters were either mechanical or diesel-electric, there is nothing except a mechanical keyboard. Chicklets are for chewing.
