Hey all, Saw this on another forum I frequent and thought others may find it interesting. I guess Fabio is quite the audiophile. I saw some STAX in the first part but couldn't tell what they are. Enjoy! http://youtu.be/zPLZHU0BZ3M

Good to hear you got a pair! let us know what you think once you receive them! Also, did the pair you got come with the original box? 

Here goes nothing! 110.5 lbs 311.9 lbs 420.6 lbs

So....did anyone on the Ortho forum win the Yh-5Ms that were on ebay?  I'd love to know if they sound any good or if they are just a showboat of a headphone. 

I disagree about the ss-100 not having bass. Its certainly not a bass head's phone but it is there and pretty well defined. For example, the bass drum that plays every measure in Stravinsky's rite of spring sounds deep and prety accurate. There is also that slam present that gives you goose...

Theses were just my impressions after listening for 1-2 hours with very select music(not anywhere close to enough time to actually evaluate the headphone). I should have prefaced the post with it being an initial impression. I agree that the bass is fully represented and extends down quite low...

Just picked up a pair of these. I was initially disappointed but after allowing my ears to adjust to their Initially bright presentation I was blown away by how detailed the sound is. These puppies are fast and detailed. Bass is all their, howeever, the drz6 lacks that emotive slam I sometimes...

Hope I can make it. Looks like a lot of good gear. Can we get a date settled so people can start planning? Gear: Spl phonitor PS audio nuwave Sansui ss-100 Sony Dr-z6 Sansui sh-15 Yamaha yhd-2

I don't know if this has been posted but here is the driver for the sansui ss-100. I either use the headphone out of my sansui au-919 or the sansui-esque black spl phonitor. I love all things sansui!

A big thanks to Jason for hosting the meet. I had a great time and enjoyed hearing all the different set ups. Let's do this again sometime soon. Thanks all.

Thanks for the input. Unfortunately I will not have a chance to listen to either. I've always just made a leap based on reviews with headphones because I'm afraid that if I hear multiple I will then want them all. I've heard the hd800 is magnificent with classical. How does the t1 treat...

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I'm really split between the hd800 and the t1. As of now I'm leaning towards the hd800 because it seems to be popular among more people than the t1. I will be powering whichever one I get with the SPL phonitor. I have owned the hd650 and Beyer dt880 and...

I'm just gonna bunker down and wait for the x9...I hear it has 2 dacs a channel and can power electrostats, however, I am a bit worried about the plutonium battery:P haha jk I can't wait for the end product x5 to be released. Sounds like it will be a giant killer.

Quote: Well the Sansui of today is nothing like the Sansui of the 70s.  Sansui was bought and sold a few times by big firms and their name was dragged through the dirt.  They now have their name on tvs, however, Sansui audio is available in the UK. Its not like the old stuff but has gained...

Quote: Sorry for a late reply! I don't have any experience with either the HD600 or the he-500, however, I prefer the tonal qualities of the SS-100 over the HD650.  I used to own the Beyer DT880 and although I never had the chance to side by side the ss100 and the DT880, from what I recall...

I've really been contemplating getting a pair of these recently but Im afraid it won't pair well with my phonitor. It seems like many of the hd800 owners have tube amps but I love the phonitor to much to get something else. Does anyone pair there hd800s with a phonitor and, if so, what do you...

Awesome review!! I'd love to see the reviewers impressions of the Koss ESP-950.  

I'm really on the fence about the phonitor.  On one hand I know its an awesome amp and has great reviews and on the other hand I hear that it doesn't pair well with some dacs.  I have the ps audio nuwave and was wondering if anyone had heard them together.  Thanks for any input.  Also, I haven't...

Quote: Sorry, I'm not as familiar with this forum.  I didn't see the "search Thread" tab.  Will do next time.  Thanks though.

Sorry, this may have already been asked but as I do not want to look through 289 pages of info/posts I thought I would just ask.   Has anyone paired this with their Westone 4's or 4R's and what are you impressions of this amp/dac combo with the westones?  Thanks!

Hey all,     I work at a record store that is a grado dealer.  They have all the lower end models and they sell pretty well.  I was never very interested in the lower end stuff though so I never thought much of it.  Recently the topic of headphones came up and I mentioned that I have quite a...

I was tooling around Ebay when I found these.  There is no brand name or anything like that.  They look nice but looks aren't everything. Has anyone tried them or know someone who has...

I purchased the HRT music streamer I+ used about a year ago.  It was a definite upgrade from my computer sound card but even then I was never really very satisfied with the sound it put out.  after hearing rave reviews about the II+ I became very interested in getting one however I didn't want...

I run mine with the Amperex. They are hard to find but you should consider them....not that i've heard the mullards....just  throwing in one more option for you to have to decide on.

Nobody knows anything? I've done some more listening with them and my oh my are they muddy!! I keep listening to them though because the soundstage just seems sooooo big.  I feel like I'm in a concert hall.  Its very hollow and, this will sound strange, but the soundstage feels woody. I know...
