    A more sensibly priced alternative to fostex th900

    I also enjoy listening to the V-shaped eq of the TH900s. As a more reasonable alternative, I would recommend the TH-X00 which I actually prefer for some music. I also owned the Emu Teaks before but preferred the X00s.

    New Fostex RP open-backed planar magnetic headphone, TH500RP! Available now!

    Yikes! I'm still enjoying my pair, usually when practicing guitar through my Line 6 HX Stomp. Seems to smooth out the piercing high frequencies better than most headphones.

    Modhouse Audio Argon - T50RP MK2/3 & T60RP

    I'm using the sheepskin xenons with my mk2 Argons. Huge improvement from the stock TX-0 pads (which are already an upgrade over stock T50 pads). I don't hear any sibilance whatsoever.

    Project Ember Tube Rolling

    Thanks, guys, for the suggestion.  I recently got introduced to deoxit for cleaning my mmcx connectors which did wonders for my Shure IEMs and cables.  I never thought I would need them for tubes.   This is my first go at tube headphone amps but I have never had to deoxidize the pins for my...

    help with Schiit Modi drivers

    I had a hell of a time trying to install the windows 10 driver for my new Modi Multibit on my Microsoft surface book and got this same error message above. What I ended up doing is installing the windows 8/9 driver from a different installation file download and that seemed to load some file...

    Shure 215 vs 535

    Supposed to be better high end extension with the LTDs. Not a huge difference irl imho.

    Headphones like the TH900 without the spicy treble

    The TH-X00 is similar to the TH-900 with milder treble/brightness but not as much bass extension.  Another option is to pair the TH-900 with a hybrid tube amp to provide a warmer frequency response (and euphonic distortion).

    Shure 215 vs 535

    The SE535s should definitely have more clarity in the mids due to the multi-BA driver design.  I have the SE535LTD as well as the SE215LTD and there is a noticeably better separation and clarity in the 535s.

    Happy as a Pig in Schiit: Introducing Modi Multibit

    My desktop rig now includes a Mimby!  Aside from the painful USB driver installation process, I'm very happy with the improved resolution and instrument separation I'm hearing.
