[Review] Sennheiser IE800: Impressions, Frustration and a bunch of What-Ifs
TL;DR: If you want to wear these with the cables draped over your ears you should put the left earbud in your right ear and vice versa. Long version: Just a random realization for those of us who drape the cables over our ears to reduce cable noise. The buds are angled, and if you hang them...- andydavid

[Review] Sennheiser IE800: Impressions, Frustration and a bunch of What-Ifs
There is a little bit of hiss with the RX3 and Pan Am, but I find it tolerable. As for the SE846s, I did a lot of research on them, but never heard them. I had the SE535s and didn't like them at all, unlike most, so I simply passed over the 846s.- andydavid

[Review] Sennheiser IE800: Impressions, Frustration and a bunch of What-Ifs
You're welcome, no problem. I know it's a little funny to compare IEMs to full-sizers, but it sounds like you got the idea! I use the white tips, I never connected with the blue ones. As for the IE800s, lest I be off topic for too long, I've found the included tips to fit well, they are quite...- andydavid

[Review] Sennheiser IE800: Impressions, Frustration and a bunch of What-Ifs
I know you didn't ask me, but I have both, I recently got the IE800s and have had the Cardas for a few months now. Having read some of the complaints about the IE800's ergonomics, I can only say the Cardas' massive microphonics and heavy cable make the IE800s seem like a dream. As far as...- andydavid

Fostex TH600 Dynamic Headphones
I can't speak to your current setup, the TH600 is fun to me. To clarify my previous post, I really bought the Pan Am to pair with the LCD-2s, a pairing about which there is enough written that I won't belabor the point. Technically speaking the Pan Am is an impedance mismatch with the TH600...- andydavid

Fostex TH600 Dynamic Headphones
Ok, it's been two weeks, I think everything has mostly settled. Busy so this will be quick. The LCD-2s are amazing with the Pan Am. Amazing. I swapped out the stock tubes for the Voshkods and they're really alive in a way I haven't encountered yet (which I think has revealed I like bass--not...- andydavid

ALO Audio International Impressions and Appreciation Thread
I'm going to weigh in here since I've done pretty much all of the below (not with the National specifically, but a standalone amp) so can share my thoughts. I got the PHA-1. Almost immediately I found it super annoying to swap my iPhone in and out of it. I broke down and...- andydavid

ALO Audio International Impressions and Appreciation Thread
Quote: I tried in vain to get the Int'l work directly with the iPhone 5. Perhaps if the phone is jailbroken to work with the Lightning to USB Camera cable it's possible, but I don't want to jailbreak my phone. However, it works flawlessly with said cable and my iPad Mini.- andydavid

Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI)
My clean new portable setup. iPod Touch g5 with Sony PHA-1 connected with a short lightning cable. All attached using 3M dual-lock, so no rubber bands. So far sounds really great and my personal favorite so far, despite what looks like a specs mismatch all around, is the Fostex TH600. I...- andydavid

Cardas Earbud / Hearing Aid Project (aka Cardas Mirrors)
Quote: Just a little update since I had a lot of negatives the first few days. Been burning these (and my ears) in fairly aggressively, and I have to say they sound lovelier by the day. Compared to other in-ears I'd say these feel a bit like going to open-back headphones from closed-back...- andydavid
