Topping G5
That's up to you if it is worth carrying a heap of audio equipment. Some people just have to carry heaven with them, no matter how heavy it is.- arbiter76

Fostex T50RP Still Relevant For A Mod As A Business ???
not sure if you know but yeah damping is about mass. but often you only need about 25%ish coverage to get rid of 95%+ of vibration. many people go overboard, especially with cars and trucks. not only does using less save weight, for an application like an automobile it is a huge saving in...- arbiter76

Fostex T60RP
for anybody interested I finally got my topping D30 pro. I have it connected with XLR to the A30 pro and the stronger signal really makes the T60s shine now. I probably do not need high gain anymore. I am also quite surprised with the D30 pro itself. I had low expectations but turns out to...- arbiter76

Fostex T50RP Still Relevant For A Mod As A Business ???
do you think you have the ears for it? and the fortitude? you could try it as a hobby and see what happens. I would not expect to be able to make a living the first few years of course. if you have the time and dedication to stick with it a few years who knows what could happen. you could...- arbiter76

Fostex T50RP 50th Anniversary Edition
I bet someone here would be willing to buy the cables and ship to you at cost or low fee. probably still cost >100 but not much. the T60 fanboy in me also wants to convey you bought the wrong headphone. lol. jk. I'm glad amazon dropped the ball on my t50/50s which got me the straight...- arbiter76

Fostex T50RP 50th Anniversary Edition
if it's a small company I would try contacting them and asking for a separate invoice for customs. this being a custom cable it would not be hard to lower the value on paper. it would also be low risk at customs. I do not know how EU works but for Mexico you would ask to lower the declared...- arbiter76

Fostex T50RP 50th Anniversary Edition
not a big fan of that song either. just saying the t20 bass thumps hard and fast with not much treble. lol. the T60 have a really great soundstage, nice airyness, great for gaming, great for music, a little light on bass. may or may not be bright depending on your tastes. they're on the...- arbiter76

Fostex T50RP 50th Anniversary Edition
hopefully somebody with 5050s and T60s will chime in as they are somewhat similar but not quite. The Tx0s all use the same driver but are tuned to open, semi and closed so vary according to that. I have the T20s which have very delicious bass but imo aren't a really good all around good hp and...- arbiter76

Fostex T50RP 50th Anniversary Edition
have there been any T60 anniversary impressions? I don't think bret ever gave one. I got my A30 pro about a week ago. T60s are a different beast when you have ample power on tap.- arbiter76

Fostex T60RP
by baffle do you mean the part that holds the driver? I have some blue tack on the way I was going to damp the baffle with and experiment with the vents. I am considering getting some 1mm eva foam for the back of the cup. gotta slow the spending for a month or two. just spent $600 on an...- arbiter76

does opening up the vents automatically give the T60s bass? compared to the T20s the T60s don't have any bass. lol.- arbiter76
