I started my journey using AKG K701 paired with a Corda Headsix amp + DIY-modded Ipod 5.5 gen. Sold it all off because the headphone wasn´t that fun but the biggest reason was that the setup was impractical - too big and for my usages an open headphone didn´t fit very well. Then I tried...

apatN, haven´t tried that mod yet. Only read about it quickly. Will take a deeper look.

Today I mostly enjoy Bach and Vivaldi. I have never heard of La Mer, but it is not surprising because Im not very well educated in classical music - even though I enjoy it a lot. Thanks for the inspiration! /Erik

Thanks all for your feedback!   Patrick, fine comment. I´ve actually followed your advice right from the start. I went from Metallica to Tori Amos and classical music. So maybe I should simply try look for new artists within this scope. Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi guys, thought I´d write a summary. Here are some comments: "Buy something with a different sound signature. That sounds the simple problem here, you just don't like the sound. Everyone has different tastes." "It might improve if you paint it fluorescent green" And these models have...

Hi guys and thanks for all replies! And sorry for forgetting to write down my complete specs. Here are the missing parts:   - Rockbox running FLAC only - Corda Headsix amp   Any more headphones thant HD600 and DT880 that I should look into?

  I´ve used these headphones for more than two years, paired up with a DIYmod Ipod video 5.5 gen +V-Cap Dock. But it is no fun. The sound is too analytical for my taste, I guess. The reason I´m writing this is because I just realized that I find my old Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro much more...

Hi all, My subwoofer is pretty old and the speakers cost about 300-400 euro I think, link. I think they are good, but I can´t compare them to anything which is proven to be good. This is the scenario which I plan to use the equipment: Spotify (192 KBIT/S) -> Apple Airport Express -> amp >...

Patient as always, thanks qusp!

I´m really confused There are two holes at each side of the hardwired LOD. I assume those are the mini-connectors you are talking about. left mini socket (as an output) ... use any signal into the left mini input ... the right mini socket (output). At first the "left mini" is output -...

No need for Itunes. I use Winamp to add music and videos.

manaox2, thanks for your reply. The situation is a bit tricky since the line-out dock is hardwired to the v-caps box. Sorry for not mentioning it initially.

According to the guys over at V-Cap Oil Capacitor comments I need +200 hours burn-in to get my v-cap dock started. Problem is that I don´t know how to feed this dock with anything other than battery-driven equipment (i.e. my DIYmodded ipod), and I don´t want to drain the batteries. Are there...

Thanks for your comments. I`ve got no home setup and I plan to use my AKG701. Before I eventually decide to place an order, I will do some research into DYI mods.

Thanks for the feedback!
