I sold my SA5000's a couple years ago and somtimes I've regretted that move. I have the RX900's now and don't regret it anymore. Compared to the 5000's the bass is much deeper and tighter. The detail is surprisingly close and the soundstage is more expanded. The highs are as good and more...

Beyerdynamic sells leather pads for $35.00 & shipping, and leatherette for $20.00. Do they improve bass or overall sound?

I am currently using a Monoprice optical cable and find it much better in all around performance than the Blue Jeans optical. The highs are very clear and extended. The soundstage is also extended compared to all other cables I've tried. It only cost $9.00 and the construction is very solid with...

Has anyone heard these? The posts on Audio Review.com are very positive about these. I'm considering their Digital Coax.

I just purchased a Marantz CD5001 and it sounds great out of the box. I was told there will be a big improvement after 80 or hours or so of burn in. Does anyone know if by keeping a cd on repeat continuously without shutting off for several days harm the player? Thanks.

Can anyone advise me the sonic differences between these two players and if you believe the Cambridge is worth $200 more than the Marantz? I'm looking at upgrading at the best value. Thanks in advance.

I have 5 sets of headphones and I am concerned about the jack on the amp wearing out from pulling the phones in and out several times a day. Does anyone know if amp jacks wear out?

I just receieved my DT880's and they sound excellent even out of the box. How can I be sure that these are the latest version? Can anyone with the older DT880's tell me if the headband had a removable padding and if DT880 or Beyerdynamic is stamped on the earpiece? Unfortunetely there is no item...

I just purchased Beyerdynamic DT880's for $234.14 plus $6.00 shipping from Quazzu Electronics off Amazon. They have a 21 day money back guarantee and I enjoyed the friendly customer service when I called them on the phone. They are located in Sacramento, CA. If these are anywhere near as good as...

My computer crashed and I was not able to respond to the replies from everyone concerning purchasing Etymotic's. Thanks everyone for your input. I decided to pass on these as it dosn't sound like they would be an upgrade from what I have. It's great to have this forum.

I currently own DT990's, K701's, SA5000's, HD580's (recabled and regrilled). Would ER4P's be considered an upgrade to these? I would use them for home use only with a good amp, not a portable unit. I appreciate any comments.

I am curious if anyone has both of these headphones and would like to comment on the differences. I have the HD580's with the 600 grills and the650 cable and the DT990's blow them out of the water. The soundstage, highs, bass, imaging, dynamic range, and clarity are surprisingly far superior to...

I just purchased a pair of HD580's. Would a Zu or Equinox cable be worth the expense to upgrade? Thanks.

Does anyone know where I can get CD Rings? They were available in the 80's and early 90's but I can't locate them on the Internet or anywhere else. There is a big difference listening to my K701's and SA5000's with Rings on the CD's than without. Does anyone know? Thanks.

I have read between 300 and 450 hours to correctly burn in the 701's. I would like to turn my Amp off when I leave the house but I'm only at 250 hours and I'm impatient to hear them at their best. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

I just noticed Headroom has AKG701's for $299.99. I just received mine from Earphone solutions for $309.00. Out of the box they are so different than my SA5000's, I'll wait till burn in is complete before analyzing them.

I am new to this forum. Unfortunetely my equipment is not as up to par as most others on the forum. I use a H/K AV335 receiver and an inexpensive Onkyo CD deck. I experimented with using both the SA5000's and HD595's with $50 Monster analogue cables and then with a $70 digital coaxial cable...
