The title says it all. I'm ditching all my other headphones and have settled on the 600 ohm DT990 as my open can. However, I need a closed version of the 600 ohm DT990 for when the kids are making too much racket and I need more isolation. I read some posts where folks say the DT770 PRO version...

I absolutely love my RS2 and I need a closed headphone with similar sound for use when the kids invade my listening room. Any ideas?

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a template or pattern for drilling round ventilation holes in a piece of steel? Then I could simply transfer the pattern to the steel and drill away.

My wife used the Flowbee on me one time. It did a pretty good job...at least I thought so. She still cuts my hair, but now it's pretty much a buzz cut. I hate fussing with hair. This new gizmo looks pretty interesting....I wonder if it gets back hair....

Does anyone know where I can pick up some replacement ear cushions for an ATH-W1000?

Who did your recable and what was the most siginificant change it made as compared to stock?

Picture from ebay.... Is this a newer Sextett or perhaps a DF?

I'll get right to the point. Which of the above headphones should I choose or is there another option altogether? For a reference, I really enjoy the K501. Great mids, airy presentation, nice tight bass. I listen to rock, symphonic metal, and progressive metal. I'm looking for a headphone that...

Already 2 threads on Cantate...

I have somewhat of a conundrum. Is the Meier Aria a good upgrade from my current Headfive + Zhaolu 1.3....OR....should I just go right to the Meier Opera? If I go the Aria route, I can get it immediately and have instant gratification. If I go the Opera route, I have to wait 6 months until I get...

I just recently received my Denon AH-D2000 from PriceJapan.com. I had originally ordered from Audiocubes, but after 4 days, they couldn’t tell me when the cans would ship, so I cancelled my order and placed a new order with PJ on Thursday afternoon. I had them on my head Monday morning...

I currently have the K701 and I absolutely love them. However, they leak too much sound and it disturbs my family when I listen to them. My primary musical tastes are melodic death metal, symphonic metal, goth metal, and 80s metal. I need something that isolates very well and leaks little to no...

Does anyone know the output of a version 1 PPA with a STEPS PSU? Is it as much as 1 watt? Thanks!

I need help.... I'm returning my 20 day old Grado 325i...they are fun to listen to but are just too bright in the 3k - 7k range. I have read that the DT880 is a pretty good choice for metal but lacks bass. Is the DT990 a better choice? I don't listen to thrash or speed metal, but melodic...

I've searched, but can find nothing in the forum here so I will pose the question. Do the op-amps in the Dynalo affect the sound quality at all? I know the Dynalo is a discrete amp, but was wondering if the op-amps (on the Rev C board) were in the signal path and could be changed to affect the...

Hey...does anyone know if you can swap between the AD and CS DAC boards with the Zhaolu 1.3? I know the 1.3 came in only one flavor per Eddie Wu and that was the AD DAC. Just wondering if I can buy the CS board from Eddie and swap them....

Can anyone recommend a good, reliable online vendor to buy op-amps from? I know there's DIGIKEY...anyone else?

I posted this in the Computer As Source forum but didn't get much response. I already own a stock Zhaolu 2.5C with the upgraded discrete amp. Now...only considering the DAC on each...would the Auzentech Meridian give me similar sound quality as the stock Zhaolu 2.5C? I'm almost convinced that...

This could also be posted in the Dedicated Source forum, but...which one is better as a DAC...a stock Zhaolu 2.5C (with upgraded discrete amp) or the Auzentech XMeridian with upgraded op-amps? I'm at a point where I think I need to get a better amp for my SR325i and don't know whether I...

I know this topic has been visited already...but based on my search, it's been a while. For someone (me!) who loves their SR225 and doesn't think it's bright at all...should I move up to the 325i or would the MS2i be better? I'm a 41 year old father of 2 that listens to all types of metal and...

If you had the opportunity to swap an SR225 for an SR325i...even exchange, no money...would you do it? I have such an opportunity and while the choice seems obvious, I've read that the SR325i is "better" than the SR225, but the highs are somewhat harsh. I love my SR225, but wonder if I would...

Just wondering if anyone has heard an SR-225 paired with a PPA. I've done some searching about good SS amps with the SR-225 and the CMOY, GoVibe5, and PA2V2 have been recommended as having good synergy with Grados. Just wondering if one of these amps can scale well when I upgrade to the RS-2 or...

I know I'm supposed to use the search function and I did, but didn't feel like reading thru a million page thread on the Alessandro MS1. So, without any further bantering...here are my questions... 1. Does the MS1 come stock with bowls or those pads you get on the SR60? 2. What is the wait...

I just picked up a Zhaolu 2.5c with the upgraded discrete amplifier and I'm loving it! Do most Zhaolu owners just leave the unit on all the time or turn it off when not in use? I'm inclined to leave it on, but wanted to hear other folks thoughts on the matter. Please talk amongst yourselves...

I had a question regarding DIGITAL OUT on my soundcard (TurtleBeach Santa Cruz). My particular model has a "VERSAJACK" which allows you to change how that one jack works. You can set it as an ANALOG OUTPUT, an ANALOG INPUT, or a DIGITAL OUTPUT. If I set it to DIGITAL OUTPUT, the onboard DAC...
