    = HiFiMAN HE-560 Impressions & Discussion Thread =

    Hi   I have both the T-1 and the He560. They are 2 completely different sound signatures. The T-1 are very accurate with the music coming through very clean. When I use them I find myself listening for a particular instrument rather than enjoying the music. That's OK at times. Over a period of...

    = HiFiMAN HE-560 Impressions & Discussion Thread =

    Today I received the HiFiman HE-560 headphones. I've been listening for the past hr or so and they sound great. I'm using the WOO Fireflies along with the Wa7 tube power supply. I'm a Grado fan and these sound really good. Clear and full sound with just enough bass as well as a clear defined...

    HiFiman 400 vs 500 ?????

    Help!  I have several brands of cans, HE-400, Audeze LCD2, Grado 325i, Beyerdynamic DT990 and HD 600. On any given day they all sound nice. I'm using a Little Dot MKIII with 6 sets of tubes. I still want to upgrade the cans. Is the HE-500 worth the extra $$$ over the 400?  I could live with out...

    Little Dot MKIII hums

    I've been busy. It was a tube for sure as I purchased some tubes (ebay) and one pair Hytron JHY-6AK5 are working great.   Gary

    Little Dot MKIII hums

    I think I narrowed it down to a audio tube. I discovered the hum was coming from one side (earphone). I then reversed the tube and the hum moved to the other ear. I reversed it again and it moved back to the other side. Looks like a bad tube.

    Can I improve my sound on my PC???

    Guys   Nothing wrong with what I'm listening too as it is. I just thought that now that I'm a Hi-Fidelity guy  , I want to listen to my music in the highest quality I can afford.  If there is a way to improve the music I burned to my computer I'd like to give it try; see if the results are...

    Can I improve my sound on my PC???

    I've copied all my CD's to my computer. I've downloaded Foobar to listen to the CD's copied. I have a external DAC attached to my computer. The copied rate of the CD's is 44,100 Hz.  Is there some way I can improve the sound of the CD's using the DAC or the PC or both. I just purchased the...

    Do I need a DAC

    Billy....   It was you peeking in my window, YES, there was some tequila involved; Patron Silver to be exact. On Sunday just prior to the SuperBowl I switched to Makers Mark and the Phones sounded the same. I'm golden now; later this week I'll try some Belvedere Vodka. If it works I've got all...
