Did you find the Cyrus Streamline 2 was sufficient to power the KEF LS50 since it's only 30w/8ohm. I had the same setup but just felt a bit uncomfortable pushing the Streamline. Hence I bought a second hand Cyrus 6XP. After about a month of listening I am now contemplating buying a Cyrus X power...

Thank you. :)

Thanks for your reply. It's reassuring to know that it's just a coating and has no effect on the amplifier. Could you please also let me know the technical term used for this particular coating, so as I may google it and learn some more about it. Cheers.

  This picture is of of Cyrus 6VS2 amplifier. Its got a good headphone out as I have tried it with my HD800's. However I have a issue with the Amp. I bought it from ebay for around £200 and having opened it up to check if everything was ok I found that the white enamel/material (don't know what...

They sound fine, nothing buzzing or funny sounds (as I listen to some loud music right now). Actually this whole thing prompted me to inspect the drivers closely. And in the process I took off the ear pads which after 5 months of use needed a good wash as it is along with the headband. The whole...

Went to this website http://www.audiocheck.net/soundtests_headphones.php and tried the Quality test/ Bass Shaker on the HD800's. Apparently in my enthusiasm to test how far I can push I think I over did it to a point where the drivers were rattling. This was on almost on the full volume pot on...

Maybe they are more like the Amperior rather than the HD25 II. But it would be hard to place the product around the £270 mark (Amperior, Momentum). I think it would be much cheaper than the Euro 285 price quoted on the German website. If they are anything like the Amperior it would be an awesome...

^ As easy as that. Since I dont have any Airplay devices I did not know that they would show up in the audio output preference. Great. 

^ +1, count my vote for peace.

Quote: I dont think it would be possible to stream music to Airport Express through A+. Even with the iTunes integration mode enabled since all the music is routed through A+ it would be responsible for handling the output. And A+ does not have the Airplay feature built into it as it is a...

Quote: +1  Although I am not really into Pop but I once tried listening to some Madonna and it was unbearable on the HD800. Too bright. I get your point the HD650 are a really good pair of headphones. Try listening to some Jazz/Fusion on the HD800 oh man what an amazing experience. Chick...

I think its time we definitely move on. I can understand the disappointment some people feel with the design and sound of the D7100. But guys its the companies decision where they want to be in the market place. Maybe Denon looked at the sales figure of Beats and decided that they want to...

Quote: Since you feel so strongly about these headphones being crap, why not write a letter to the company. I think that would get you more satisfaction than just responding negatively to every person who likes the headphones on this form. We all come here to connect with other people who...

Same people going back and forth on this thread. Its funny reading it. Gold Medal should go to MagicK man and Macedonian hero. Get over yourself guys some people love this headphone. Me included its the best portable headphone, the soundstage is amazing for a closed headphone. I have stated this...

Since this is an appreciation thread for the HD800 I would just like to put this in writing. Yesterday while listening to a particular big band jazz piece I experienced a sensation one could only feel at a live event. It was like I was there, it was very exhilarating, be it only lasted for a...

Quote: Sorry for my ignorance but please name some Chinese brands that make Hi-end audio gear. Not International companies that outsource production to china. I will look into them read the reviews and it would add to my knowledge about Chinese Hi-End audio. Maybe I might even change my...

Quote: I tried Hifiman, bought two pairs of HE-500 and both had channel imbalance/ driver mismatch. After reading review after review from Head-fi members I was completely shocked with the first pair, thinking it might be a one off thing I ordered another and it had the same issue (although...

Quote: Point taken but I still would not take my HD800 anywhere near a Little Dot or M-Stage or Lovely Cube. It just my personal issue. In my mind Chinese companies are all about mass production, low wages and cheap products. I would buy Made in China in a heartbeat if it says Rotel...

Quote: My logic is the I would rather be sitting in a BMW than a Fiat Punto when it all goes belly-up. And frankly I am sure Lehmann spend considerable time quality testing components they are putting inside the amplifier. These same amplifiers are then being used in recording studios...

Quote: To be frank with you I would not hook up a $1500 headphone into something that cost $200. At the time I bought the M-Stage there was a lot of talk about DC-Offset with Schitt amps and what it does to the transducer on AKG K701. Someone even made a video of it. Watching that video...
