hi head-fi community, recently i had a encounter on youtube about file formats, so why not discuss the importance of file formats KBS, Frame, Bit rates right here we can ALL probably tell the difference between a mp3 to a WAV file, but what about when it gets difficult for some to...

Quote: i use words like "dull' "stale" "pale" "murky" saying flat is misleading to ones unfamiliar to headphones and their  FR spectrum, it gives flat headphones/amps/speakers a bad orientation, and is bad since they are many flat headphones and since flat headphones are the ones that...

Quote: lets forget my rude comment, okay bud:) and lets move on,  Anyways how did you find my comparison, have anything to add? have any problems with it? because i can fix it in no time if i have made mistakes and i am prepared to discuss why i said what i said, and why i think it it...

Quote: I did a test 3 months ago just to confirm the burn in process is real( which i already had faith in) just to prove cynical people that think that the burn in theory is baloney, i had 2 pairs , one was burning in for to reach 200 hours and the was going to be kept is virgin for A-B...

Quote: okay, Woah lets take 3 steps back, I wasn't putting any context to my statement it was a joke i REALLY REALLY don't need to calm down because i'm not even  the slightest mad nor aggravated, I called potable amps gay because they are pathetic compared to ground/ ones you plug on...

Quote: they actually make it not seal fully deliberately, if you press them on your ears and make a good seal it won't be as transparent or clear and the upper register fades a bit, although the bass is nicer, but when you just were it normally.... well i think you know already 

Quote:                you seem like a headphone "Extremest" (Greenhorn cough cough Newbie Cough Cough) likes punchy solid bass with so called a "crystal clear treble" i will tell you straight up you will not like AKG, take my advice with the burn in, hope thats helps, and if you are not...

Quote:                  i do consider the 240's a bit warmer, due to the extra ambience the open back design offers, but they are a bit wooly and muddy and overall just uncontrolled and sometimes just Too warm and Too full, further leading to burying things in the mix, while the 271's are...

Quote: YES, i though i was alone, Man, why did i get a defective pair?

Quote: i Thought i was the only one, jeez i wonder if i can get a free replacement pair for this bugged headphone?

Quote:   thanks for the info jan, although i need to think about this purchase, (see if there are any other amps at this price i might want), i will consider to buy this amp highly CHEERS

Quote: So now that i know which one to buy, where would i go to and much does a unit cost (quickstep), can you hook me up Jan?

 THANK YOU, although they are different prices and the pc step is cheaper, i will now consider to go buy the quickstep, since now i know the pc step is inferior of sound quality towards the quickstep, i was just considering the pc step since you can use the usb  as a power source, and...
