    Review of the Ultrasone HFI-2400 Headphones

    Hey guys. I just wanted to confirm what kesslerjesus's review of the HFi-2400. I purchased them about 2 months ago and have noted the same impressions as kessler did. I then had them recabled by Moon Audio with their Silver Dragon V3 cable w/ the hardwire split mod.   Bass The 2400s claim...

    Super T-Amp : Power Supply Suggestions Anyone?

    Hey guys. I've been happily using my Super T-Amp for a while now, but have been using the stock power supply. I've read that changing up the dinky power chord to something better really improves the sound.   Just wanted to ask: What power supplies out there would you guys reccomend?  ...

    ALO-780 or Ultrasone HFi-680?

      Quote: You mean it puts the sound signature more forward ( ie like Grado)? or is it even more fuller? Thanks again for you listening impressions, definitely did ease my mind.

    ALO-780 or Ultrasone HFi-680?

      Quote: I was looking into your headphone inventory. Wanted to ask how the Moon-Audio recables sound like? They recommend Silver Dragon, but I don´t listen that much classical. How do the 780s sound: Blue Dragon vs Black Dragon?   How do the 680s sound like with recable? Sorry for...

    ALO-780 or Ultrasone HFi-680?

    Quote: I like the Ultrasone sound. Grados are great, but I listen to music that benefits from a wide soundstage. ( Pet Sounds etc) That´s why I was looking into the 680s. A little less bass, but more mids. And now that Ken gave the green light for a recable job, ALO-680 is a definite...

    Arcade Fire - The Suburbs

    Suburbs is better than Neon Bible. It surprised me how much I immediately liked it after the first listen. It's such an enjoyable album. You kind of forget that an album can do that after years of making effort to listen through other difficult, but great albums. Nice to just pop it in and have...

    ALO-780 or Ultrasone HFi-680?

    The Pro 900s look really nice! How do they do with regular rock recordings? (ie Radiohead, Arcade Fire, or Spoon)

    ALO-780 or Ultrasone HFi-680?

    I don't mind the bass, but I definitely am not a ''basshead.'' I really like the HFi-580, but the recessed mids having been getting to me lately. A little less bass wouldn't be a problem for me. Reason why I went for the 580s was because I really really REALLY did not like the Senn. HD280 Pro...

    ALO-780 or Ultrasone HFi-680?

    Think the HD 650 might be too laid back for my tastes. The Pro 900 are meant for studio work, don't know if they'll be fun for old rock 'n' roll. The DT990 seems like a beast to power.

    ALO-780 or Ultrasone HFi-680?

    Hey guys. I currently own a HFi-580 and will be looking into upgrading to either the ALO-780 or the Ultrasone HFi-680. The HFi-580s are great. Bass impact is amazing and as my first good can, has made me hear things in my music that I've never heard before! However, the recessed mids are...
