I've done a little research, thanks. So basically the choice is between clear 1.7 mm duel lock with a life cycle of between 50 and 100 cycles.  Or the black thats about 5mm and 1000 cycles. and for me the thick stuff is 100% cheaper.  

Does anyone know how many e12s went out in the first batch. We must be getting to the point where 25% have been resold (you are a fickle lot)   ps I bought mine second hand so I could specifically get the original version   I think it was in this thread that someone mentioned using...

Oh dear, they aren't lookers.  I made some wood cups last weekend so I can afford to play with the cups but I don't think it would make sense to go threw the cups as I think it would get in the way of the headband. The only place I can think of to go threw is in between the pads and the frame at...

My denon d2000 were my first serious headphones but since buying them I have bought the fostex t50rp and Bose qc15 which have just one cable to the left earcup.   I prefer this arrangement and was wondering if anyone had any information about it being done before, or if anyone had any ideas...

Hold on to your hats, you are gonna love this question.   can I use it to power Bose q15 a little louder. I know the Bose has its own inbuilt amp and I don't want to blow it up.

Am I missing something? why are Canadians buying from Germany instead of USA. Colourware charges $1500 Meier audio charges nearer $1576 and I'm assuming you have to pay some sort of tax either way. By the way those matt black 800's make my wallet grown.

Have you looked at the incremental mods thread, BMF has just commented on the alpha dogs

I really think you should, but that may be because I want to here it compared to its sisters

If we use that argument, does that mean the th900 is twice as good as the th600 and 20 times better than a fostex t50rp. I can understand people not wanting to compare the 600 to the 900 but to me it's the first headphone it should be compared to. The denon dxxx were rightly compared to each...

Thanks for the mention of the c5 (that give me some reading to do) With the bass boost looking more unlikely to be useful the c5 might be an option. As for delivery dates, it looks like the c5 gets it official release first, at least worldwide.

It would be really interesting to see whats actually inside both the th600 and 900. If the 600 sounded nearly as good, fostex would have to adjust (sabatarge) the cheaper model so as not to affect the desirability of he 900. I really like the look of these. If we are on the subject of M cars...

I thought micca was an American store, in my expieriance it does not take more than a week to reply to an email. James fiio managed it a lot quicker For the record, i have no problem with fiio, I found his communications to be punctual and very professional even over CNY when they were on holiday.

They don't seem to care about profits. They don't even reply to my email.

Anyone going to comment on the bass boost remark? I think what's happened is a couple of people who don't own the amp complained about the lack of boost so it has been changed. From what I have read, everyone who has this amp likes the current bass boost and does not want it changed. I've...

Does anyone know the output impedance for the amp section? Probably should have found out two years ago when I bought it. :D
