Long story short, I need a headphone from ultrasone. I don't want recommendations on other headphones.    At the moment I am enjoying my HE-500, and I consider the sound close to perfection/with no major flaws. I listen to a lot of genres. I like metal, rock, jazz, acoustic, and any genre...

wat i know is that it's bluetooth, n transmits a signal from the DAP to the headphones. but being bluetooth, it's digital data right? is it in the form of data unprocessed from the DAC of the DAP, and the headphones have a DAC+amp to convert everything (possible if u think how small ishuffle...

A while back, I rounded up my old, unused equipment: HD650, X-Can V8p, and a Denon AVR-2802 and passed them along to my 15-year-old step-step-nephew, twice removed - I think. It's complicated - too many blended families are at work here. He's a good kid with a rabid interest in music, audio, and...

http://www.thecustomart.com/pro_audio-harmony.php For the longest time driver count for silicone CIEMs has always lagged behind acrylic CIEMs--we're at, what, 10 drivers per side now with acrylic CIEMs from every major brand--but where have you seen a silicone pair with more than 5...

Friday on impulse bought a pair of HD 650's. This was after listening to the HD 558, 598, 600. Was hard to choose between the 600's and 650's but felt that the 650's were better for the type of music I listen to most. Jazz and Classical Guitar. These wil be replacing a pair of Grado SR60I...

Hi all   I just got myself a k702, very nice build headphones, but with my RSA preditor, it sounds terrible, looks like the preditor suit IEMs better.    I'm search a lot these days and finally cut shorten my list to these two. X-can V8 and Schiit Lyr   One thing that I'm concern...

Does the MF Tube Buffer V3 Power Supply Unit work with my X-Can V8?  I kinda want to get this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160570147556&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_1076wt_718

Time for an upgrade! New tubes/PSU or new Amp?   Imaging is the most important thing..   Setup: Denon LA5000's X-Can V8 Audio-gd DAC - 19 DSP   I was leaning more towards buying a new amp than an upgrade because I'd prefer an amp with two pairs of line-in outputs, but just...

I get a subtle but extremely high pitched ringing in the right channel... It usually settles down when I tap my fingers on the top of the amp, but this is unacceptable. What may be the cause of this? I'm guessing it has something to do with the tubes.

I have searched high and low for this thing, and I have not been able to find one for sale. All I can find is old FS threads that are closed out and sold.   I have literally checked every forum, thread, and google hit when I type "music fidelity X-can v8 for sale", and still nothing. I know...

Hello fellow head-fiers.   I'm about to sell my Musical Fidelity (230v) combo and I'm wondering what a fair price would be? I do know that they are quite rare and somewhat sought after these days. Neither he Amp nor the PSU has been used very much, around 400h I'd estimate and they are...

I am debating with myself whether I need a new DAC, probably at a budget of approximately 200$. For now, I am using the DAC in my e17. Now I am wondering how good the DAC is, compared to other of the well known DAC's.   At the moment my main can is the HE-500, and my amp is the Musical...

I have decided that due to my permanent chronic pain and neck problems, I am going to either use IEMs from now on (as there is no additional weight on the cervical spine), try the Stax portable unit (feather light) or go to speakers (in that order of preference). I would prefer not to go to...

Ànything I should pay attention to? I know that I should not move it while its hot.

Hi everyone!   I am new to these forums and I have just started getting into headphones. I recently(about a month ago) purchased a headset for gaming, a Sennheiser PC360. I was really wowed by the sound quality and I am now looking for something for just music listening that is, hopefully...

Hi,   I am currently experimenting with a pair of Shure SE215 earphones connected to my Musical Fidelity XCan V8 (I am actually very surprised at how the amplifier significantly improves the sound quality even from these earphones). But the Shure SE215 earphones hiss like crazy when...

I have this Amp as standard with a little Pinkie Power supply. Headphones are Sennheiser HD 650.   I love the sound I am getting but it has been suggested that changing the tubes to Mullard CV4109 Would greatly improve the Sound Quality.   Advice would be appreciated please   Thanks

I currently have a musical fidelity M1 HPA driving a pair of Denon AH-D7000s.  After reading all the buzz I'm thinking of getting a pair of LCD2s and trying them out.  Will this amp adequately drive the LCD2s?  MF claims it can drive headphones of any impedance "The HPA enjoys the lowest 1ohm...

(Original tubes: JAN Philips ECG 6922. The right tube is broken.) Should I just get the same ones or are there others that would match my HD 650s better?   Thanks in advance.

I have a Continental V3 for my HD700 and a Xduoo XD1 for my IEMs but really wanna venture into the full size headphone amps.  I have the option of getting Music Fidelity X-CAN V8 Headphone Amp, X-PSU V8 Power Supply $400 for the whole as a used item or Rega EAR brand new $400.  I really never...

Pls someone let me know if MF X-CAN or Graham Slee Novo is good to pair with my vintage AKG 270 and Beyerdynamic DT990?   Thank you,

All, I just started my journey into the headphones as has always been the proponent of full-size speaker setups. However recently I saw a need for a headphone setup to compliment my main rig, mainly to do music listening late at night when my family sleeps. I've been searching for a good budget...

Time to open up the unofficial thread for the year:   I got a pair of MDs (with the Dog Pads) from a collective group of friends that seems to finally understand me, as well as one of the two final Sigur Ros albums that I'm missing from my collection.   I gave a Grado and an SOL Republic...
