I've had my HD800s for coming up to a year now, and considering they sit on my head for 12+ hours per day, it's getting to the point where they seriously need a wash.   I'm not too worried about the actual process of removing the pads or the headband, but I do have a question regarding...

Thanks - Whats that, and what would I be able to do to try and combat it?

To preface - This has only started recently, which is why I'm so confused.   I have this card in a http://www.gigabyte.com/fileupload/product/2/3892/4495_big.jpg in PCIEX1_1 with SLI GTX570s in the x16 and x8 slots. Using the headphone out with a pair of HD800s with the internal amp set for...

I can't help but have a nagging feeling that my sound output isn't completely balanced. It feels like the right channel is just one or two notches weak, but I can't tell for sure. I want to do an objective balance test, rather than it being subjective to my hearing. If this is the case, what...

Ah damn, alright. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try and see if I can give it a listen somewhere =]  

What is it like compared to the BCL soundwise?  

Budget is about £1750, HD800s are £1k exactly and the amp is £750.   That amp looks gorgeous... But it's completely out of my price range =[

I'm in a situation currently where I can potentially get myself a pair of HD800s. I had a listening test with a pair of them and some HD700s yesterday, and I absolutely love the sound of them.   I also would be in a position to get a Lehmann Black Cube Linear Headphone Amp, and from what...

EDIT: I've whopped my original questions into a quote rather than delete them, but after a night's worth of asking around, merciless digging, and finally discovering correct terminology, I'm happy with my understanding of how everything works =]   Quote:

Thanks, I'll just leave it on 48 =] Right guys, last question - I promise!   I seem to be getting an ASIO crash when using 44.1KHz with ableton live 8.3   Using http://www.tropicalcoder.com/ASIOTestSigGen.htm seems to be fine, on 44.1 and 48. Ableton however, crashes after 2 seconds or...

Ok, thanks!   It seems that ASIO isn't working without the External power either, so I'm gonna have to dive back into my case to try and fix that. Also, is it worth just leaving the card on 48KHz to counter the background noise, or should I keep it at 44.1 for music? I didn't notice the...

Hey guys, thanks a ton for those answers! =]   Anyway, I've got another question, and this one has to do with background hiss. When I have the card set to 44.1KHz, there is a noticable background hiss when no sound is playing. However, with 48/96/192, there is none.   ..And before I've...

Hey, I've got a question about Opamps   I'm a little confused why there are three. I'm guessing that the third one up front is for something specific to the white and red out.   Is it that one is for the left channel, and one is for the right? If so, that leaves me a little bit confused...
