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.- mapotofu

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.- mapotofu

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.- mapotofu

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...- mapotofu

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.

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).- mapotofu

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.- mapotofu
