Hi! I own a pair of K271S and a pair of ATH-M50. The K271S is a great headphone that has gotten great reviews in Sweden. (See CarlssonPlanet.com • Rekommenderad elektronik or search for K271 at www.faktiskt.se). For acoustic music they are great. Very detailed. They are considered...

Looks good! I'm interested in a kit.

I bought a Headfive and a Porta Corda MkIII USB from him. He shipped as soon as he had the money. When I ordered the Headfive he said I should expect 5-7 days. 4 days later I had it. When he sent the Porta Corda, he said that I should expect 4-7 days. 2 days later it was in my mailbox. So, he...

I can recommend the Porta Corda MkIII (haven't heard the earlier versions). Sounds great with my HD600. The sound quality is improved if you power it with an DC adaptor. It can handle up to 28 V DC. It's been discontinued by Meier Audio, but you might be able to find it in the FS forum in...

For playing a few files, I'm happy with either XMMS or Audacious. For a database handling apps, I like Gmusicbrowser. I've found Amarok with mySQL to be good to. Unless you have a large music collection (+20k), Quod Libet is pretty good as well. For larger collections it is far to slow (uses...

I believe the small pin should be positive (hot) and the thicker pin negative (cold). I have two TRS plugs in the opposite end. I connected the red/green wires to tip (positive) and the other wires to ring (negative). The sleeve (ground) isn't connected to anything. For XLR, look at the pics...

It's more or less a dongle for the Pro Tools LE software. It's probably not worth the price if you don't need Pro Tools LE.

The thick ones are ground.

Sennheiser HD595 perhaps? Of the headphones I've had, HD595 is the one that sounds best directly out of a DAP. There are of course better phones, but they need better amplification to sound good. The HD595 goes well with classical music in my opinion. They can of course be used outside, but they...

Apparently there is a XMMS-plugin here: SourceForge.net: Files

Curious about how my HD600 would sound in a balanced setup would sound I bought a HD650 cable and terminated it with two TRS-plugs. Then I plugged them into the cue output of my Presonus Central Station (there is a volume pot for the cue output) . Compared to the regular amp, the bass is...

Is there a way to get crossfeed in Linux? I have looked for XMMS and Audacious plugins, but couldn't find any.

Prices! In Sweden the SR225 is almost as expensive as K701 (416$ vs 440$). The HD650 is cheaper (369$). Compairing the prices at Headroom, you have to pay about twice as much for Grados here in Sweden. Unfortunately, Headroom can't sell any Grados to me... However, I would love to try a...
