    hd25-1 impressions thread

    I believe that the 3m coiled cable that comes standard on the HD25-C II is made from copper... Emailed Sennheiser USA, and they replied back - "This is copper cable. We use stainless steel and copper for various cables. The choice of conductor material has ZERO effect on sound quality since...

    HD 25-1 II coiled cable?

    I started a post about this cable on the "cables" forum, asking if (a) anybody can confirm the cable is made from copper, and (b) what the sound differences are to the standard steel cable. So any replies would be great!

    Help me find something that sounds kinda, sorta, but not really like a Senn HD 650 for around $100

    How about a pair of Koss A250 phones? I own a pair and love them. They are very detailed with an emphasis on treble, and are often compared to high-end Senn's. Finally they sell for around $100 on the forums.... I think Kramer once said he preferred them to his HD580's, and he's quite a...

    Senn HD25-C II coiled cable question

    Albums you hated at first, but love now

    I'm siding with the masses here but "OK Computer" was an album that had me quite cold on first listen, put it aside for a while then came back..... glad I did! Kid A was actually the only Radiohead album that I loved right from the get-go, still do, but not as much as the album that preceeded it

    Favorite Radiohead song?

    Looks like we may need a poll for this one, or perhaps we should start a new group called: "Team Radiohead-fi"

    In Ear Monitors: Love or Hate?

    I really envy all u people who use and enjoy iems. I loved the isolation and there was a feeling that the sound was coming almost from inside my head, which was weird at first, but which gradually I came to like a lot I just couldnt adjust to the pain after I took them off, and there was the...

    What sound card for DAC1(non usb)?

    Classical Music Shootout: AD2000, HD650/600, K701/K501 (sorry, longwinded)
