Dear Shahrose,     I have used the HE6 for quite some time because I have got that in the first 12 HE6's shipment.     On the contrary I didn't find the treble to be sibilant at all and I love the treble of the HE6 as well as the R10 Although it is not that airy  but it has very...

Dear Frank I    Thanks for your suggestion , I will try that before calling Alex & Sankar.     I have recently acquired the Sony MDR R10, I also have the HE6 and HD800 .     When I have them compared I will post my comment here especially about the bass response     I also have the...

Thanks so much your info about the single ended input information of the SR71B. I am hoping my SR71B arrive, so I can try with the HE6, LCD2, R10 and HD800 that I have.   All these headphones has balanced cable into 4 pin XLR so i just need the adapter from 4 pin XLR to mini 4 pin XLR.  I...

Any body has the same problem of mine and I would like to know how to solve that. I have the plastic adjustment block cracked both sides, and I replaced with the aluminum replacement provided.  However the adjustment block become loose and It can not hold in the same position of the...

   I finally acquired one pair of Sony MDR R10 after reading the review of David Mahler "The 20 best headphones". Its serial number is 1083 and is a bass heavy version built in 2002.  The R10 was recabled with apuresound V3 to 1/4" Neutrik jack.   I  had a chance to compare that to the HE6...

Dear Jamato,    I am a little bit confused because I am having one beta 22 built and was explained about the gain setting of the beta 22.  It seems that when you have the balanced input you can double the power of the beta 22 not just the soundstage and the quality of the sound.  I don't...

Can the SR71B with single ended input and balanced output only drive the HE6 good enough? The reason that I am asking because it is difficult to find a portable balanced input except the ibasso boomslang which use different pins from the mini 4pin XLR of the protector & 71B

Dear Germs,    Thanks for the answer.    Can you recommend any good or better quality 7.1 card that will match the A8?    I will inform Thai headfi about the Audiotechnica new product that it does not match the quality of A8.  I also don't buy into that but I would like to make sure...

Dear Skylab,    One more question if you don't mind,  If i can not find a good portable balanced input source , can I just use the balanced out of the SR71B to drive the HE6 effectively , is there any difference is the sound quality without the balanced input?

sorry about the typo : the product is ATH DWL 5500 the link is www.audio-technica.co.jp/atj/...500/index.html Please comment

May be I will go to the Mia Casa and the Egyptian during my next conference in May next year when I have a conference there in Sanfrancisco , on my way back I will travel from SF to LA and then back to Bangkok again. Someone in Thai headfi is trying to use the realiser A8 with the computer...

Dear Dasouth,    Thanks for your input which is very timely and useful .    Does Drew do the 2 X 3 pin XLR connector to mini 4 pin XLR input of the SR71B using the blue dragon and how much will it cost? what is the length?    Does he also do a short adapter cable from 4pin XLR standard to...

Dear skylab,    How's about the SR71 B driving the HE6, can it drive the HE6 effectively like the speaker tab adapter does?    How can you make the balanced input and balanced output connections?  do you recommend any cable for that and what is the approximate cost?  Will moon audio or...

Please contact Lorr Kramer.  He will make all the arrangements. No, you don't have to bring your A8, just bring 2 standard 2 gb SD card 16 FAT format (not  mini ) I went to AIX records to do B&W  5.1, 7.1 and JBL THX and it took only half day. If you would like to go to the Egyptian it...
