The list of options was narrowed down to these three because they can all be sourced locally and are in my price range. Honestly I'm pretty sure the senns aren't it, as I'm given to understand the sound is on the brighter side with a somewhat lacking soundstage and its also unclear to me whether...

So its been 6 months since I started an office job and my hands itch for some tinkering (used to be a technician). I had the idea of modifying my pair of dt770s to make them travel friendly. I need advice on two subjects: 1. I would like to recable them, preferably with a cable that has a mic...

I was wondering where you guys (i wonder if the guys i used to talk to are still here after all this time) turned the volume down from. I for example, have a chain as follows: laptop - Odac - O2 - headphones. I turn the amp up to 1 Oclock, the laptop at around 50%, and i use foobar as the main...

one that shows the frequency as well as level. my search yielded one analyzer that didnt work at all (couldnt see it in the preferences) and one "musical analyzer" which was very pretty, but showed notes - as opposed to frequencies, and that too was only up to c9 (~8 KHz aparently)... does...

Very random question - i know. I hope this is the right forum for this... But my flatmate has an acoustic guitar (with a line out), i have a fiio e11 and theres a very old, very crappy stereo system in the livingroom - connectors and cables are no issue. What are the chances of killing one of...

skipping - the music stops for half a second, and then continues.. used to be it would happen only here and there, now its happening all the time, several times a minuet. i dont know what model i have, nor do i know how to check (please advice if relevant). i use "poweramp" as my player and i...

it keeps crashing on me! i can now uninstall and reinstall foobar + vst + electriq with the speed of light, just because of the practice i have from the damn thing crashing every couple of days. the only reason i put up with it is because i got kinda addicted to using an eq. i always use the...

Sorry if this is a no brainer, i just wanted to confirm.   As far as iv gathered, an amp connected to an external power supply, i.e, the mains, will provide the proper voltage swing needed for dynamic range in the "packed" bits of music. I mean when theres like a crescendo or a climax where...

Fatigue is often mentioned on this forum, but rarely discussed. When searching the site for existing discussions i found some, but they were from 2000 - 2004. In this thread, if people participate, i hope to better understand what fatigue is, and how to avoid it, as its plaguing my enjoyment of...

im using a pair of dt770 (250 ohm) and e11/jds cmoy. i was listening to a track by the glitch mob called "between two points" and part of the lyrics are "the shortest distance between two points is a lie". what i heard was "the shorTSeSTS diSTSanCE beTSween TSwo poinTS iS a lie...".   i...

except for the actual sound engineers who studied professionally, where did all you "audiofiles" get all this information? what internet sites? what books? what movies?
