Thanks for the pointer regarding Tymphones. Will look into it.

  You are right. That is the root cause of the problem.

And it is not like we have both the will and competency to manufacture such items. We may actually be competent enough but we just don't have the will. So it is really unfair to put such heavy duties if someone wants to get them from abroad. They wouldn't if we made such items here. All our...

Will do.

Great, bro! Where are you? If you are in Bangalore, can I have a look-see? They are amazing sounding but also great looking.

Thanks for the info. I wish I could do that. But there are limited options here in India.  Also, I will hopefully not be modding the headphones in any way.  The only options I have currently are the Denon D7000 and the ATH W5000. The Denons are available at half the price. Again I would like to...

I know there have been at least two other threads on this. But my concern is more specific. It's about the bass. I found the Sennheiser HD 598 out of a Peachtree amp, out of my Matrix Mstage amp etc. and I found it bass shy, though it was less bass shy put of the Matrix Mstage amp. I am...

Thanks for the detailed info. That helped.

The volume control works.

I have a Matrix M stage HPA 2 connected to an amplifier and that to speakers. What is the best volume setting for a Matrix HPA 2 USB DAC when using with RCA output. Have no idea about this. Trying different volume levels.

Up for sale is also my Arcam Cd 73 for 15k only plus shipping as optical port doesn't work RCA ports work fine. It's a great CD player and would serve as a good source

Friends I will be selling my beloved DAC and headphone Amp Matrix Mstage Hpa 2 for 10000 plus shipping. I am the second owner. Got this from Jerrick here on headfi. Please message me if interested or kindly reply here.

Just posted my Bowers and Wilkins C5 S2 for sale on ebay. Those interested may bid on it. I will post it on head fi in a few days as well.

Hi,    I recently auditioned the Audeze LCD-3 and LCD-2 at a Headphone Zone Connect meetup in Bangalore and found them to be remarkable compared to the HD 650 I own. Id be grateful if you picked me to beta test the black box.   I have a background in Computer Science Engineering. I am tech...

Both open and closed back should be fine.   But yes, comfort can be an issue.

Which headphone do I get? Musical preferences are rock and jazz, particularly Dave Matthews Band.

Unbelievable though I must still say I am surprised ...best part is it isnt even listed on snapdeal. Actually its not available for sale anywhere in India.

When I said I got a better product, I wasn't referring to headphones. I ordered Dawn of War 2 Chaos Rising and they sent me the whole collection. I was surprised beyond belief but was also happy. Wished this happened with headphones though :)

They have a 7 day return policy and 100% money back guarantee. Hopefully that should help whoever buys it. I know its quite an expense to make but it seems worthwhile given the discount, thought I will put it out there anyways. Yes I have had a problem with Snapdeal in the past, received the...

Shure SRH 1840 @ 30,507(MRP is 49,000) gr8 deal in my opinion.

Separated on the basis of male(M)/female(F) :   Some songs to test with in Hindi:   Dekha Hai Aise Bhi(Lucky Ali) (M) - Soundstage   Hum na rahein Hum(Remix) (Creaure 3D) (M) - Bass    Tu Kaun Hai(Lucky Ali) (M) - Resolution of vocals   Fusion in Raag Champa Kali(Rahat Fateh Ali Khan)...

The thing I like about head fi is that it gives me a little relevant info which I can research later so I did go back and forth between these sites. It helps me as a beginner.   But yes IEEE is more authoritative.

Sorry never..but then I though I know a lot of bands find myself really uneducated when it comes to knowing some of the real top names out there. Now that I have googled, yes he played for Ozzy and Quiet riot. May have actually heard his great music without knowing him.   The lead guitarists I...
