Quote: Originally posted by DJGeorgeT The HD25-1 is probably one of the best portable headphones. It is supra-aural and smaller than the 271S. Also weights less. The 271S is fine though. Try them both. The HD25-1 does not get much hype and in fact it is the most underated headphone, but...

OK, the K271S supporters have weighed in, and actually that's the one I was going to try before I posted. Just like a lot of other cans, people seem to either really like them, or to not hear what all the fuss is about, so I'll just have to try them for myself. Thanks guys.

Been searching through a lot of posts here, and all I can find is comments that tell me which cans NOT to get for my requirements. I'm looking for a set of portable closed headphones with good isolation which aren't bass-heavy and aren't bright and/or sibilant, but are detailed and balanced...

Some of the threads you've read probably suggested Vampire adaptors. That brand is the only one that I've found to not cause any sound degradation, and other Head-Fiers have agreed. However, I've not tried the specific adaptor you have.

I'll throw in my 2 cents worth. I like the HeadRoom crossfeed more than the Meier version, which I found didn't change the tone, but did cause a certain loss of detail with some of my equipment. In my current setup (see profile) HeadRoom's adds exactly what I was looking for: it homogonizes the...

The MSB Nelson Link III DAC and Monarchy Audio DIP 96/24 has impressed me. You can run a balanced cable between this DIP and DAC, and thus get some of the benefits of that data transfer technology. If you shop around, and depending on the choice of cables, this combo can be had for under $1500...

BESEECH - Soul's Highway lethoso, you are right; this is a good album. I like it better with each listening, and that's always a good sign. It's not that it was bad the first time through - just had to get past my perception of the drumming. But this drummer's rhythm fixation I have is just...

VAN HALEN - Runnin' With The Devil OZZY - Crazy Train

Yes, buy it! That car will be a lot of fun. Now's the time to enjoy such things, before that time comes when you're only able to tool around town in a minivan full of screaming kids, instead of blasting around in a sports car with a screaming engine. And what the heck, it's not my money I'm...

I too am thankful for the sacrifices of all those who died so that this country has remained free and strong, still a good place for even for little things like happily celebrating holidays.
