Has anyone actually heard these headphones?

Quote: Originally posted by Earregular Is that a linear function or an exponential one ? It's linear, the variable is never raised to a power anywhere. It would be exponential if it were something like P(h) = 3e^h for example

I see you have the Klipsch Promedia 5.1s... Well if the headphone out on these speakers is similar to the Promedia 2.1s, when you plug in the HD600 and turn it to max volume you will probably blow out your ear drums and blow out the headphone drivers as well... Indeed in my setup, the...

Quote: Originally posted by Earregular I believe the relationship would look more like this P(h)= he^3 e being eulers # not the letter and h being the price of the headphones If you throw in a number such as 69 ( the price of a pair of SR60s ) you come up with what I remember was...

Quote: Originally posted by Magicthyse Oops sorry about the amp - I missed it. However after some burn in I've been listening to the HD600's and I'd say it's your material that's the issue - these are really fatiguing headphones to listen to MP3's on. I can make out artifacts quite...

Tim D shivohum was throwing around a link in that thread about how 256 kbp - 320 kbps mp3s were inidistinguishable from WAVs... I personally cannot readily distinguish between CD and high bit rate mp3s on this system.. Wow it's suprising how many people missed this in my original post...

I'm listening moderately loud... but not to an unreasonable level (I hope). The thing is if I listen quieter it doesn't sound as good The fatigue is even an issue with 256-320 kbps mp3s

Well my main problem with my headphones is that they sound fatiguing... I can listen to music on my computer speakers all day, but when I put on the headphones my ears start hurting after a while and have to take them off... Also this is not a comfort issue, I think the headphones are very...

Will the use of such an adapter to connect a normal interconnect to a mini jack degrade sound quality by a noticeable ammount? And more importantly, can it possibly introduce Radio interference on a shielded cable?

Quote: Originally posted by kelly Yes; Yes [b] I highly doubt it, but you seem determined and it's your money. well I wouldn't say that "determined" is the right word.. it's just a convenient lazyman's alternative... due to the quick shipping (close geographical location) and...

Did the bolder RCA to mini completely solve the radio interference problems by itself (without needing to adjust the bandwith and stuff)? Is it shielded? Do you think the Kimber mini to RCA on headrooms site would get the job done? Quote: Originally posted by kelly The Game...

Quote: Originally posted by poorimpulsectrl see subject line for stupid newbie question. thanks Just out of curiosity, what amp is this? And how do you like it?

Quote: Originally posted by kelly I ordered a Twisted Pair Design Game Junkie mini to RCA pair cabel to address this problem and for me, it did not. The Game Junkie had teflon connectors so I suspect the problem is that it just needs shielding on the cable itself. The sound was good...

Well on one of the earcups on the HD600, if I look closely through the outer black grille I can see a single strand of thin bare bronze wire running from the bottom to the transducer... Is this a problem?

Funny, I wanted to order a maxed out meta, but JMT wouldn't respond to my PMs sent about a week ago after the initial one with the price quot and options... and eric and tangent seemed to be busy Maybe there's a bias toward veteran members? /EDIT oops what a coincidence, just seconds...

The thing is I've always heard horror stories of UPS/Fed Ex accidentally "destroying" packages during shipping. I have had one scary experience myself, I ordered something and the box was crushed, luckily the contents seemed OK.. What would I do if for some reason the Corda HA-1 got damaged...

Also how bad is the tube maintenance/warm up issue? Is it practical to have a tube amp on 24/7 ? How fast do the tubes "burn out" so that they need to be replaced? How bad does the amp sound right after power on and how drastic is the change in quality after a certain time? If these...

I've tried the search function but even if I search "Best budget home amp for hd600" or some synonymous phrase a lot of somewhat unrelated results come up. Even so I have accumulated bits and pieces of information about the topic. Unfortunately sometimes this information is vague and sometimes...

If the ear phone's drivers were to be damage by excessive volume, is it possible that the damage could be gradual or slight, or is the effect always immediately obvious? In other words is it possible that the driver may be slightly damaged and as a consequence will not perform as well as an...
