    Sennheiser HD 590 Appreciation Thread

    You may want to start with Sennheiser's main website and then see if any retailers sell the components for the HD-590's. B&H Camera has the ear-pads and foams but I am not positive if they carry the headband cushion. Send Sennheiser a message and then go from there...

    Sennheiser HD 590 Appreciation Thread

    The picture of the Sennheiser HD590's on B&H's website looks white because they edited the photo as "monochromatic" to emphasize the black ear pads for sale.  These headphones are rather good considering the price when bought used. They have a great sound stage and are fairly easy to drive due...

    Sennheiser HD 590 Appreciation Thread

    I own a pair of Sennheiser HD590's as well and about a month ago I ordered from B&H Camera the original ear pads and foam disc inserts (they come together as a package.) Here's the link to the page where you can order:  ...

    Yes another HD590 vs HD600 question

    Their loss is my gain. I picked up a mint pair of HD590's for seventy-five dollars shipped. I listen exclusively to vinyl on an Oracle Delphi MKV with SME Series IV.Vi tone arm, switching back and forth with a Van den Hul vintage MC10 and a GRADO. The sound from these Sennheiser headphones...

    A Head-Fi Neighborhood...

    Remember the days when we visited a half a dozen or so "high end" audio shops in our neighborhood to test out the latest  equipment from some of our favorite audio brands? The owners and salesmen generally had a good report with their clients, had solid knowledge of the products they sold...

    NEW Vali Schiit AMP!!!

    I am considering the Vali for my Sennheiser HD590's. Although the Asgard would be a better amplifier on paper with lower output impedance, I would  still be curious to hear how the Vali drives these cans. Has anyone had the opportunity to audition the Vali with Sennheiser HD590's? Several have...

    Senn HD590 vs. Senn HD600 (vs. Sony MDR-R10)

    I've recently acquired a pair of Sennheiser HD 590's and I am more than pleased with the quality of sound they produce. I've owned Grado RS-1i's for a while and felt that they were excellent but colored and lacked any real sound stage. Had I invested in a Mad Ear amplifier I may have held on to...

    I also love the RS1i's. It is good to hear that Royal Oak is still catering to the Detroit audiophile. I am a University of Detroit alumnus...

    Audeze LCD-2 vs Grado GS1000i

        Just out of curiosity, what is your first most disliked Grado headphones? I know you've mentioned in the past how much you liked the RS-1i's. I am also a past RS-1i owner. What are your thoughts about the Grado PS-500 headphone? I've not had the chance to audition but I've heard they...

    Grado RS1i Impressions thread

    Quote: I am very excited, my Grado RS1i headphones arrived today in the mail. They appear smaller in person, "cute little buggers and beautifully made!" While delicately removing them from the foam inlays in the cardboard pizza box, I couldn't help but feel a sense of concern as they...

    Grado RS1i Impressions thread

    Quote: That settles it, I'll be placing the order first thing. All that's left now is to wait. I didn't see the option to place orders for the kit so I am assuming that a factory built version is the only offering now though I may be mistaken. Maybe I can pick up a PA2V2 for a song over at...

    Grado RS1i Impressions thread

    Quote: Thanks for that clarification. I just wrote Grado regarding the "pop" and John wrote back saying, "I would always recommend that the headphones be connected or disconnected while there is no signal present and if there is a DC  offset "pop" that occurs, all the more reason to be...

    Thanks for that clarification.

    Grado RS1's are for sale with the buttons along with the Grado RA1 High Gain Headphone Amp. Owner says he turned the headphone amplifier on while headphones were plugged in, always hears loud a DC popping noise. He says he simply left the headphones off before powering to avoid hurting his ears...

    GRADO RS1i SYNERGY

    Synergy comes to mind whenever I've tried matching loudspeakers to amplifier to source. This synergy is important when choosing a headphone amplifier for your headphones. The response to the Grado RS1i is one of musicality and a headphone amplifier which gets great praise is the Maple Tree Audio...
