    Good ~$200 Amps for the HiFiman HE-400's?

    Quote: I have my gain setting on 5 because I use same amp for the 400s and hd650s.  I found that was the best setting for me for the 650s, seems to have a small attenuation in bass but increased soundstage imo.

    New Hifiman Headphone HE-400 is out

    Quote: He400s are my first and only current set of orthos.  I have been debating the LCD2's.  Would you consider them worthy of the jump in price?   Also, thinking of going with the fostex t50rps then add typical sound dampening mods.  Would these compete with the he400s?

    Anybody Watching "The Walking Dead" On AMC?

    Quote: Well there was a definite slump in season 2 and I agree that there was too much search for Sophia.  Overall I think they used those episodes to put into play more character development.    I am interested to see how season 3 goes.

    It is a great show.  Not a ton of suprises if you were familiar with the comic though it is a bit varied.  Plus last season I accidently stumbled on the spoiler for Shane's death that AMC accidentially posted on their website.  Still a great show.  Look forward to seeing how the dynamic changes...

    Which (Little Dot?) tube amp for E10 + HD598?

    I think if you are looking to change your sound to something more warm, I would do as others have suggested and just buy different headphones.  I have the LD MKIII with he400s and the senn hd650s.  The LD MKIII purchase was mostly from suggestion from PurpleAngel and I am very happy with it. ...

    Any Houston Meets?

    Quote: Well I am dying for a chance to audition some cans from audeze or some hi-fi cans in general.  Just very little way to do that it seems, here in Houston.  I am beginning to run out of options within the mid-fi range, have a few on my "want to try" list still.  Q701s being one of...

    New Hifiman Headphone HE-400 is out

    Quote: Man, you are really asking for it from those guys.  Well honestly I have never heard the hd800s but from reviews I had gathered that the treble was a little too bright.  However, from reading only, I see that they have an excellent soundstage.  For 1k though I think I would wish for...
