    Hello everyone, I'm looking for a portable amp for the HD650, because I like to walk around my apartment while listening to music sometimes, and I don't like the idea of being restricted to one space while listening. I see lots of discussion on amps for the HD650, but few about portable ones...

    Question about phase and minimum phase equalizers

    Many speakers meant for recreational listening have boosted or cut responses. For instance, many hifi speakers have scooped mids. My question is if the company that makes the speaker scoops the mids, will it have the same amount of phase distortion that taking a flat speaker and scooping the...

    What are the best bookshelf speakers for under 450?

    I love the sound of the JBL LSR 305's, but sadly they where rear ported so they sounded bad on my bookshelf. What's the best pair of bookshelf speakers for under 450$ would you say? It also needs to be able to be driven from my iPhone. Thanks very much in advance!

    What is the benefit to increasing the 16k range?

    For me it seems to make the music seem more "emotional" and less "flat" it makes it pop more I guess. Does anyone else feel this way or is it just placebo effect?

    Question about EQing headphones

    I have a question, lets just say I have my 16 k band on a ten band eq, and I boost it 2 db, then I boost the 1k range .5 db. Will the boost in the 1 k band "cover up" the boost in the 16 k range, and so I would have to boost the 16 k range band more to compensate?

    Will a larger soundstage from an amp allow me to hear the highs better

    I have this problem, i'm super sensitive to background hiss in recordings, in fact if you notice all recordings have a little bit.

    EQ Iphone app that doesn't have substantially lower volume then normal player?

    Currently I use an eq app that when I play music off of it it's much quieter then normal, if I boost the pre-amp up it hits distortion despite the fact that it's playing at less then normal max volume of the normal player, and i'm also EQing parts down so it's not like it's a headroom issue.
