    Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone

    Hey!  Thanks for your impressions, appreciate it. I actually went ahead and ordered both. I'll be listening extensively to them and pick one pair to have in the studio and the other one to have at home "for fun"/relaxed evaluation of work done at the studio. I'm sort of guessing it'll be the...

    Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone

    Has anyone done a more in-depth comparison between the DT 1990 and the HD 600? I work as an audio engineer (mainly mix & mastering) and never really stumbled across a headphone I like so far for these purposes to compliment my monitors. I haven't heard the HD 600 (have owned the HD 650 though)...

    Fitting an Audio-Technica AT 150 MLX on a Pro-Ject RPM 1.3 Genie

    Anyone tried this? I know its mounts will fit and all, but anyone with any insight on its synergy?  I know it's a $799 cartridge on a $500 turntable, but still. I want to upgrade from the 2M Blue and the AT150 can be had for as little as ~$300 new nowadays.

    Differences between SuperFi5 and UE600?

    Quote: I'm interested in this as well. Had the SuperFi 5 before and now since they aren't available anymore I'm going for the UE600. I wanna get the Comply tips again though but wanna make sure I order the right ones. If the phones are indeed an identical re-brand, why T400 for SF5 and T200...

    Your thoughts on "new" but previously worn cans...

    I'm exactly the same. When I buy 'new' I want to receive 100% untouched brand new merchandise. I pay for new and therefore want new. Picky? Perhaps. But that's me... I'm a unique snowflake.

    V-DAC vast improvement over Zhaolu D2.5A?

    My gut tells me yes. Only mods done to the Zhaolu is the cap bypass & opamp upgrade (LM4562, if I remember correctly - it's been a while since I installed them and I rolled a bit before settling).

    Lets Talk Metal

    High On Fire - Snakes For The Divine. Released 23/2 but we received it at work (I work for a distribution company) like 5 days ago. It's kicking my ass so much it's not even funny. Probably my favorite after Surrounded By Thieves.

    Best headphones for Rock music?

    What the best headphone for rock is, is quite hard to answer as we all have different preferences on how we want our music to sound (insert "well, duh" here). Some might want their guitars upfront and aggressive whilst others might want a slightly more lush presentation. I've owned the RS-1i...

    New Comply™ Foam Tips compatibility update!

    I read that too in a few threads when I was researching alternative tips for my C551's. For me though, anything will give a better seal than the tips that came stock for the C551's. I'm having a real hard time getting a good seal/fit and thus the SQ suffers.

    New Comply™ Foam Tips compatibility update!

    I'm real eager to pull the trigger on a triple pack as the ones that came with the Denon AH-C551's feel a little too flabby. Btw, does the size translate between the two different models? Meaning, if I'm using the medium from Denon, should I order the medium Comply?

    New Comply™ Foam Tips compatibility update!

    Okay, not maybe literally 'fall apart' but start to deteriorate. I read that some feel that putting on a fresh pair about once a month is to recommend if you use them on a daily basis.

    New Comply™ Foam Tips compatibility update!

    I've been viewing some pretty old threads and seen reports that the Comply Foam Tips apparently fall apart pretty quickly.. has this been fixed or do they still have a lifespan of about 1 month?

    Purity Audio K.I.C.A.S. Caliente ... Can it compete ?

    Ah, back after about a 6 month hiatus from Head-Fi. Last amp I was thinking about purchasing was the K.I.C.A.S., and not to thread hi-jack too much, but is there anything new in the ~$400 range that's popped up during the last 6 months or so that I should look in to? I already got a tube amp...
