I have an amp made by this same company. Would the iFi Audio DC iPurifier work with my amp?  Here are the specs:  Specifications: Solid state output stage Non overall feedback - triode voltage gain stage Power consumption: 5W continuous, 15W peak Power supply: 48VDC (0.10A cont, 0.32A...

Bump

I did the felt removal mod today on my HE-500's... OMG! What a difference in the soundstage. Combed with my Moon Audio Blue Dragon cable, I feel like I'm listening to a different pair of headphones. 

Anything by Isao Tomita, :)

I'd like to know your impressions when you have some time to listen to the EL-8's. I currently own a pair HE-500, and I'm considering getting the EL-8 if there is a sonic difference between the two. Thanks. 

I'm curious to see how these sound when compared to the HE-500.

Ciao!  I would feel very humbled and appreciative if I was chosen to be apart of the listening tour. I listen to music everyday on headphones, to me there is no other way to truly enjoy music than through an excellent pair of headphones. In recent years I have owned the HE-400 and HE-500, but...

So I've had my 325e's for a few days now, and I can say that the treble is a lot more tamed than the 325i (listened to it a few years ago). Today I received a pair of G-Cushions from Ear Zonk (http://www.earzonk.com/). I have to say that using these cushions have greatly made listening to the...

I'll be getting a pair of 80e's tomorrow. I'm looking forward to hearing if they sound different from the 80i.

Hey, The only amps that I have used with my HE-500 have been the Hifiman EF5 and the Schiit Audio Magni/Modi stack. I would say the sound of the HE-500 with the custom cable became less shrill and a lot more warmer. Then I again, I did not put enough hours on this headphone before I I bought...

I just got my freedom cable a few days ago and it's awesome!

Ah, that's good to know. I really like how the bass is with the HE-500 already, its really good but I know it can dig deeper. I'll probably order the cable sometime over the weekend. Do you think that it's better to just pay the extra money for the 10ft cable instead of the 5ft?  

I used to have an earlier version of this cable before Ted released it to the public (cloth based coating of the exterior)  when I owned the HE-400, but I sold both the cable and HE-400 awhile ago. I recently acquired the HE-500 and I agree the silver cable has a very hard sound to it, even when...

I also remember this DAC sounded very good when I was listening to vinyl rips, the music had a lot more weight to it and just sounded overall better than my current HRT Music Streamer II in some cases. It's just too bad the DAC didn't output enough volume like the HRT did.

This looks like a headphone that my dad would like. Perhaps I'll get it for him for his birthday.

Yes, Ted is a very nice business owner and his cables sound really amazing. I never felt like I was being cheated.

I have tried a couple of his cables; one was a pair of entry level RCA's and the was a custom made cable for the Hifiman HE-400 called "The Freedom Cable". Both sounded very good right out the box and only got better with time. The owner of the company is very nice and will work with you until...

Here's a review of someone being very satisfied with the pairing of their EF-5 and Audeze LCD-2 together.   http://www.amazon.com/review/R2BD2MY074O62N/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B004I3WB5M&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=

When I had this DAC for a few days I remember the light being on all the time unless my computer was off.

I tried out this DAC recently and unrotunatley I had to send it back. I paired it up with my Hifiman EF-5 amp and I found that the two didn't match well together all...

Actually, I think you might be in luck. Try out this link http://www.thecablepro.com/cablepro-earcandy-hifiman-he300-upgrade-replacement-cable.html. It's by a company called CablePro. Good Luck!

Quote: How loud can you get your HE-500's with the Asgard? I myself have a pair of HE-400's and I'm looking at possibly getting a similar setup that you have (Asgard + HRT Streamer II).
