    Darkvoice 332 paired with sa5000

    Has anyone got any insight/experience into this combo? The general impression is that tube amps do the sa5000's lower end some good.

    Bada PH12 vis-a-vis Meixing MC66AE and Lehmann BC

    The following is review of the Bada PH12. The Bada Ph12 may be the best headphone amp you can buy, if you are looking for an amp that combines the best qualities of a solid state amp with the best qualities of a tube amp. Let me explain. I used to listen to my Grado HP-2 and AKG 340...

    Recommendation for Techno/Jpop $350 max

    Currently own HD555, looking at either   SA5000 DT880 HD 650 HD 600   Looking for more bass than HD555   mostly for female vocals, speed, techno, bass   from my research it looks like SA5000 would be the best so far   thanks

    I found a cheap pair of SA5000 (Sony) headphones are they worth getting

    I found a pair of Sony SA5000 (used) for $180, should i get them Mainly they would be driven without an amp, and i listen to drum and bass as well as rock Are they portable

    What is the best DAC-AMP for MDR-SA5000 under $350

    What is the best DAC-AMP for MDR-SA5000 under $350? I'm thinking of Maverick D1 or Matrix mini-i. Do they suit the cans? If not, please guide me other models.   The issue is that SA5000 is so fatiguing, and I want to have them softened or smoothened   Thank you

    MDR-SA5000 with iBasso D4

    I've just ordered from Japan a used pair of SA5000, which costs me around $450 including shipment and taxes. I then found myself very nonsense since on Ebay it is around $400 and BRAND NEW !! What a pity!   I'd like to ask if that D4 is capable of driving the SA5000 or not. I use it...

    What headphones you plan to buy next

    I currently have the trifecta, AKG 701, Sennheiser 650, and sony SA5000. I mostly listen to the senns because they are more comfortable and have a nice big sound. (Are these better cause they're made in Ireland?...). The next group of headphones I'm planning to buy are, sennheiser 800, Grado...

    Sony MDR-SA5000 vs. AKG K 701/702

    I have listened to the Sony MDR-SA5000s, and like them less than my Triports.  They seem to have a very small soundstage  and have no bass.  I've been looking into an upgrade for my Triports, but based on the MDR-SA5000's 5 star reviews, I'm not sure if I can really get much of an upgrade...

    Treble-centric headphones...?

    Are there any headphones that are bright and emphasize the treble at the same time as NOT emphasizing the midrange? And preferably, with subdued bass as well?   Most of the headphones I hear about also have a prominent midrange/upper midrange if they have a prominent treble, OR they are...

    Sony SA3000 vs SA5000 vs Qualia 010

    It's surprising how different each of them sounds from each other. Give me time, but I have to say out of the rig in the picture, playing the crappy jpop I listen to (think Britney Spears, but, um, younger and less talented), the SA5k take the prize. I have a feeling that I'm going to have...

    Sony SA5000 or AKG K701?

    I need some help from qualified posters (as I define below). I think the Sony SA5000 is perhaps the best headphone you can get (possibly excluding the Sony Qualia 010 and UE 10 pro) in terms of reproducing natural and realistic sound. I think many complaints of the SA5000 from others have...

    Who still has the Sony SA5000?

    What kind of music do you listen to with them and what amp/DAC? I'm buying some in 3 weeks if no unexpected bills come up, Christmas present to myself. Probably getting a Fiio e10 soon after and a tube amp later. Probably making my own cables for them out of OCC silver stranded wire, 8 strands...

    AKG K701 vs. Sony SA5000 - first impressions

    These initial impressions revealed evident differences but I need more time to evaluate the subtle differences. Using my now favorite tube set up (with el cheapo tubes) in my Bada PH12, one Namking 6H8C as input and two Electro Harmonix Gold 6SN7 tubes as output (since the old, sweeter...

    Well, may be nobody will read this because it does not contain the Grado GS1000. Anyway The Warriors Audiotechnica W5000 (around $850) I have own the Audio Technica W5000 for about three months and they have become my reference headphone for several reasons: first of all they are closed...

    The Sony MDR-SA5000 Thread

    I'll start this thread off with a review of the Sony MDR-SA5000. As I did not see many of those as of yet, I'll take the plunge and give it a shot. Introduction I've always been a Grado fanboy. First the sr60s, quickly followed by the 225s, the silver 325s, RS-1s, and last but not least...

    SONY Shootout Thread : MDR-SA1000 vs SA3000 vs SA5000

    Folks...a strange quirk of fate has given me access to all 3 offerings from Sony in the MDR-SA series. I intend to dissect all these headphones and share my opinions with the rest of HeadFi. At this point of time I have the SA5000 and the SA1000. The SA1000 is a loaner from PsychoZX of...

    Mid-centric headphones for indie rock?

    Hey guys,   I posted this in the Recommendations thread, but got a pretty inconclusive answer. I want a mid-centric, preferably open headphone for ~$200-250. I'll be mainly listening to indie rock (Arcade Fire, The National, Phoenix, etc.) and some classic rock/British Invasion (The Who, The...
