    Denon D2000 vs Sennheiser HD 212 Pro

    I haven't heard Sennheiser, so I can't really tell you which is better. But I don't think you can go wrong with D2000. I bought Denon AH-D2000 yesterday, and I listened to it for a good 10 hours. I am very pleased with it. Depending on songs, there are times when the the sound gets a little...

    Do you EQ your Music?

    Hardware equalizers are not so much different from audio amps. And we all like using amps, right? They both use operational amplifiers, where amps will boost the signal by the factor of gain, while equalizer will target a specific frequency and boost that part with a factor of gain...

    Difference between MP3 and FLAC?

    Honestly, I tried differenciating FLAC, 320Kbps, 192Kbps (same song) I couldn't do it. I couldn't tell the difference. I would FEEL like FLAC sounds nicer, but I couldn't convince myself why.

    audionoob has 200 to spend

    HT Omega Claro Halo is another option. I was looking for a new sound card to pair with my AH-D2000 headphones, and after researching for about 2 weeks and asking multiple questions to HT Omega, I pulled the trigger and ordered this card.. which should be delievered to my door tomorrow.

    There is no standard way, and you should be aware that by taking your headphones apart you null your warranty. (Speaking of which, do you still have warranty on your pair?) For the method of taking ATH-A900 apart, I cannot give you any advices since I never owned a pair myself. Maybe others...

    It sounds like one of the solder joint has been broken off. You will need these to fix it : Solder kit A screw driver of the right type(if required) Once you open up the headphone, look for a silver(not litteraly) solder joint and see if it's broken. If it's not broken, then you will...

    New amp blew my headphones!

    Did you see any smoke escaping from your amp? Once smoke's gone there's a good chance it won't work but seriously, see if you can look inside of the amp, maybe through air circulation grill? check if capacitors are lookin normal. If they are toast, they should be fat around the top part.

    Need an advice or two for picking out a sound card!

    Hello all, I recently purchased AH-D2000 and expecting it to arrive at my door within a week. I currently have a HT Omega Striker sound card, and I am considering for an upgrade to either Claro Plus + or Claro Halo. I am stuck in a dillema because AH-D2000 is only 25ohms in impedance...
