I swung by StereoExchange and picked up a pair of the MH40's today. They look really nice, and they're packed pretty nicely too. I'll try to post pics later today.   These definitely sound different than they did when they were hooked up to an ALO tube amp. They're tuned to be warmer in the...

Ah... I love the ASG-2. I'm just strapped for cash.

My Review of the ASG-2's:   Background: When I received my ASG’s, the only headphones I had in my possession were the Audeo PFE 232.  I had had the 232’s for about two months, and had grown used to the neutral sound signature by the time my ASG-2’s arrived. As with all of my reviews, I let my...

    Thanks for the input! I'm really looking for something a little warmer, and I've heard that the E12 is more on the neutral side.   Quote:   +1 this. I actually bought the Aiaiai TMA-1 Studio's and the AKG 550's before I settled on the Mad Dogs. These are on a league of their...

Quote:   I was looking at the E11, but I'll check the E12 out too - thanks. A buddy of mine had QC problems with FiiO in the past, so I've been trying to stay away from them.

I've been scouring this thread for a warmer portable amp to use with the MD's... I haven't really come up with anything, but I know that I'd like to have deeper bass and warmer mids. Preferably under $200. Any suggesters?

Initial Impressions   I’ll begin with a quick comparison between the Tzar 90’s to the well-received Heir 3Ai’s. I received my 3Ai’s a few months ago, and I clearly remember the first song I listened to. Sara Bareille’s “City – Live at the Fillmore” totally blew me away. The song begins with...

Congrats on your 300'th post bud. I'm glad this thread is being revived, as the speakers are pretty good for the price they cost.   @Mauricio: while you do have a point that a "true" active, dual-amped speaker would be "better" than the current version of the MKIII's, it's really the quality...

Hey guys, the original review was posted here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=21132421#post21132421,   but since I'm a head-fier at heart I've decided to post it here too!! Here goes nothing: ____     Dana 630i   The Dana 630i’s are a set of speakers manufactured...

What did you guys think about your swans?

Quote: hmm -- I'm not sure if they burned in much, but I do remember the treble getting a bit more crisp over time. But I'm glad you picked up a pair -- post back and let us know your impressions?   What kind of setting will you be using them in?

Hey Joel. Welcome to the forums!   I honestly would not recommend that you set up a 5.1 system if you are planning to listen to music from your computer. If you'd like, check out the NHT superzeros -- they're really enormous and great bang for the buck. They'll run you around $100 each, and...

  Review of the Swans M200 MKIII   I apologize ahead of time for the lack of pictures… Almost as soon as I finished burning in these stunning, sexy speakers and writing this review, I presented them to my brother as a 28th birthday offering. Nevertheless, here is my long-overdue review of...

casey i've decided to chime in, too.   I find it interesting that few people in the speaker community cross over into the headphone community, and visa versa. I actually just purchase a pair of swans m200 mkIII's and I love them more than my FA-011's. I've come to a healthy compromise that...

Lee -- the gear is almost as good as those beautifully taken photographs. 

Quote: HAH.   Me too... What a freaking nightmare.

I contacted Dmitry and it sounds like it's just customs having issues... Nothing to fret my biscuits about I guess.

Alright. Someone's gotta tell me what's going on.   Order March 4th, shipped April 1st, got a shipping number that said my phones actually shipped on the 7th... and no status update from the tracking number since the 11th.   Now I get an email telling me my order has shipped (again), and...

I'll also be bringing:   Fischer Audio FA-011 Modded Grados (if I ever get around to wooden cups) B&W P5's   Leckerton Audio UHA-6s + UHA-4   And I'm with Aflac -- if anyone can drop by University City, it would be highly appreciated.  

Hey guys --   So would anyone coming to this meet be interested in buying a pair of Swans m-10 speakers? I can bring a pair :) let me know!!   **ps-- my fischer audio fa-011 still have not showed up yet..     it's been four weeks.

For those of you who got your phones --   Did your russian post tracking number ever update after "return customs"?

Count me in --   On the head-fi meet only, though... I might be a tad bit too young to go to a beer garden.

Hm...   Sounds like most of you are in the same boat I am. But I haven't had an update on my russian tracking number since last Monday, when these was a "Return Customs."   I'm actually a little peeved, because Dmitry assured me I would received my headphones by last Friday (before I...
