I have the ESP950 which I like alot. I would love to hear from folks who may have heard either the Stax L300 Limited or Stax L700 and how they compared to the ESP950. Wanting to determine how much of an upgrade either of these Stax headphones might be and if I should invest my dollars in...

Based upon my original email, you should not use planar or dynamic headphones because all of these (except for the ultrasone) will put out a high gauss reading at the inside of the cup

There some EMF coming from the amplifier when I place the Trifield Meter next to the amplifier-however, when you move about 2 feet away, that reading goes goes down to zero-so just make sure you sit about two feet away from the amplifier and you will get no EMF

To Gardibolt-the ESP 950 are safe to listen to. In fact, I acquired these headphones because of health concerns. Whenever you place on your head dynamic or planer headphones, you are placing a magnet on each side of your head that is sending magnetic energy into your brain. I had a pair of...

I am getting a new ESP 950 tomorrow. How long does it normally take to break in the headphones and amplifier

Thanks to Alan and Rexhu for responding to my question. DIY requires soldering skills, which I do not have-therefore I will be buying one of the adapter cables I mentioned in my earlier post.

I am shopping for a Koss ESP-950 to Stax adapter cable. There is a seller on Ebay, ctech-electronic which is selling a cable adapter for $129. There also is a seller on Amazon, Darin Fong Audio which is selling an adapter for $169. I would appreciate any feedback any of you may have who have...

I would like to purchase a V281. I will be using the amp with sennheiser hd-800 headphones. I am still undecided about whether to purchase the amp with the standard volume control or the $589 option of the relay with remote control. My only concern is if I will be able to hear sonic...

My digital system consists of a dedicated Muse Model 9 transport and a David Gill Elise DAC.  The retail value of these are over $10,000  I much perfer however to listen to my vinyl system.  Forget about the technical information about bits and the like.  Analog just sounds more musical and...

If you are looking to be a turntable online you need to make sure you buy from someone who has experience in shipping turntables.  That is why I would only buy from a dealer or someone locally to avoid getting a turntable that has been damaged.

If you can stretch your budget some I would recommend a used  Muse Model 9 that offers great value for the money.  These can often be found used on places like Audiogon for a $1000 or less.

For me there is something special about listening to early Simon and Garfunkel like the Bridge Over Troubled Water and Bookend Albums on headphones-that early stereo Columbia sound leads to a unique headphone experience

I started this thread on jan 31 and have not let folks what decision I finally made on a balanced HD800 replacement cable. At the time I was trying to decide between the Lawton Audio and Double Helix cables. I was attracted to the Lawton Audio cabling because it uses Jenia Labs cabling, which...

I am looking for a balanced cable replacement for the Sennheiser HD800. I have narrowed my search down to two cables: the Lawton Audio Adrenaline and the Double Helix Compliment. I wanted to see if anyone has an opportunity to compare these two cables and what your recommmendation might be. Thanks

A dealer is selling the Opera Consonance M20 Tube amplifier. This particular unit does not come with a separate power supply, but instead, has the power supply built into it. It does come with a separate IEC so that you can use a quality power cord with it. All of the reviews I have seen of this...
