    Closed back headphones for digital piano?

    I used a DT-48E with a digital piano, it was detailed, fast, and except for the lowest octave tonally seemed spot on. It was bit uncomfortable and the clamp was too strong for my daughter so I sold it. Replaced it with a PM-3 that is comfortable, great to watch a movie late night or to carry to...

    Audiophiles in Gothenburg - Sweden

    Long story short, I'm spending lots of time in Gothenburg without much to do in the evenings. Any headphiles or stereophiles (not much into multichannel) that would like to demo their system and show the zillions of improvements made with careful component matching and all that stuff?

In a pinch I used my 2 m long microphone cables (Klotz mc5000+Neutrik plugs) while looking for XLR cables but...

    Sennheiser HD800 vs STAX SR-007II

    From what I saw the HD800 requires a good amplifier, that will put the headphone + amplifier more or less at the same cost as the STAX combination (SR-007II + SRM-007tII). I'm considering buying either the O2 or the HD800 and would like to read your thoughts on the subject, and most important to...
