    Ficher Audio FA-003 | Brainwavz HM5 | Lindy Premium Hi-Fi Headphones : What differences ? What similarities ? Which of these to choose ?

    Hi Guys,   I was looking at the FA-003's, but have ended up with both the Lindy and HM5's.   Both came with the carrying case, and 2 pleather pads. The cabling choices are different between the two though.   The Lindy's come with a long cable and a 6.5mm adaptor.   The HM5's come...

    Beyer Dynamics DT880 Alternatives?

    Hi Guys, I love the way they sound, and the comfort level is great with velour pads. Unfortunately, the right headphone appears to not be matching the volume coming through the left. I'm looking to see if this can be fixed, but am also wondering about any alternative phones I could buy to use in...

    Beyer Dynamic DT880 Pro - Volume/Balance mismatch - Can it be fixed?

    Hi Guy, I've been using these for a couple of years, and am not sure if my warranty is still valid now. Anyway, Lately I've noticed that the right earpad seems to be noticeably quieter than the left. I'm going to try a different pair of phones/source when I get home to be sure, but any ideas if...

    Beyer DT880 / Darth Beyer vs Denon AHD-2000 / 5000

    I'm fairly new to all this, and not an audiophile by any means, but I'm looking to replace my RP21's with something more substantial now. The cable's starting to go, and I figure now is as good a time to upgrade as any. I know this is like comparing apples to oranges, but can someone tell me...

    that glow amp looks sweet, but the $120 worldwide shipping may force it out of my range :-(

    Desktop USB Dac & Headphon Amp Combo

    If I raised the budget to the $500 mark, does that change things noticeably?

    Desktop USB Dac & Headphon Amp Combo

    classicalguy: I was looking at some dac's at Pacific Valve before. I think they were Musiland ones? The svdac05 looks pretty cool; the led front definitely makes it stand out from the crowd. sschmeicchel: The MD10 looks nice. It seems like it's in a completely different league to the svda05...

    Desktop USB Dac & Headphon Amp Combo

    Would I be better of with a dac such as the zero or beresford, in combination with a usb->coax/optical convertor rather than a self-contained unit eg Fubar3? I've currently got an old terratec soundsystem dmx in my machine, but I'm going to be upgrading soon, and figure I'll just ditch the...

    Hi there, Can anyone recommend a good *desktop* USB DAC & Headphone Amp Combo Unit, or would I be better off with seperates? If so, anty recommendations on that front? I'm looking to spend aound £150/$300. Most of the units I've seen around tended to be portable, and I figure I should be...

    My Equation Audio RP21's have arrived, but it's not all good.

    well, i was trying to get them from dolphinmusic.co.uk (~£60/$120 all in) but they are out of stock and won't be getting new stock as thier supplier has discontinued them (so I was told). Turnkey have them at a whopping £99/$200! Is there no-one who does them at a reasonable price in th euk?

    Cheap Amp- Cmoy?

    i'd mostly be using it while sitting at the computer, so the wallwart possibility of the pocket amp2 drew my interest. are there any in this price range that are designed to be used from the mains? or failing that, is there a way to minimize the noise they pick up from its usage?

    Audio Technica ATH-A900 vs ATH-AD900: Closed vs Air?

    well, from what i understand the ad900s being open phones, are lighter than the a900s, and should/do give a better midrange as well as being less muffled. however looking at these, i find that the sennheiser hd600's are only £10 more on top. <sigh> it never ends.
