    Koss Pro DJ 100 - The Budget King

    Quote: I use the headphone jack out of an old NAD integrated stereo amp. I know it's really not ideal, but honestly, it sounds fine to me. While I have a personal belief that amps don't cause as big of a difference as a lot of people seem to make it seem, I will say that I did hate the...

    Koss Pro DJ 100 - The Budget King

    Quote: I've found the two to have a very similar sound signature. But to me, the fact that the HD650 is open-back gives a clear advantage in soundstage and imaging; OTOH, the DJ100 offers isolation and can be used as a portable headphone. But other than that, the big difference to me is...

    Should I get the Koss ProDJ100 or the sony mdr-v6?

    Just my opinion on the Panasonic HTF-600. While they are pretty ridiculously good for the price (~$30?), I do feel that they perform well below the DJ100. While I am in no way a basshead, I think a basshead would be more satisfied with the bass of the DJ100 (though the DJ100 is NOT a bass heavy...

    Koss Pro DJ 100 - The Budget King

    Ha, I see you've experimented with the DJ100 quite a bit. They are very nice though, I quite like them. And yes, that HD-497 does look rather cheap; it kind of gives me the vibe of some cheap radioshack headphones from the '90's. Maybe Koss can just fit the drivers onto the ESP-950 housing? :P...

    Koss Pro DJ 100 - The Budget King

    tdockweiler, you mentioned that you've made the DJ100 open before. Can you elaborate how you did this? Was it some sort of a driver transplant, or maybe just drilling the cans open? I'm quite intrigued... I apologize if this was explained previously, but I can't seem to find it...

    Koss Pro DJ 100 - The Budget King

    I apologize that I'm responding so late to the couple of people that asked for pictures... I had stopped keeping up with this thread and only just saw the posts. And I didn't realize that "under the pads" could be so ambiguous as to require pictures, but... That's 2 cotton balls per ear...

    Koss Pro DJ 100 - The Budget King

    I thought I would make a small contribution here... I have the DJ100 with the stock and the M50 pads. However, I guess my ears are absolutely massive; with both pads, they were too shallow and my ears would touch the baffle. The same thing happened with my Fostex T50RP, and my fix was to simply...

    NAD 3130 headphone section?

    Hello. I own a NAD 3130 integrated amplifier. I don't think it is a very widely known model, but I believe it is the successor to the NAD 3020, which I think is a more widely known model? After having bought it pure to power my speakers, I know nothing about the headphone section of the amp...

    Headphones with laid back, black, neutral sound

    Thanks for your reply. I never thought of actually EQing my music to preferences... always just kept everything neutral and as untouched as possible through Foobar. But I guess there really would be no harm in a little EQ after thinking about it. But if I may ask a few questions... I have...

    Headphones with laid back, black, neutral sound

    Hi. I've recently been considering some headphone upgrades for my current computer audio setup. My current setup is computer -> FiiO E10 -> NAD 3130 stereo amp -> Infinity P150 I'm pretty satisfied with my speaker setup, but would like some better headphones for more critical music...

    Newbie Amp/DAC world. Huge improvement? EQ ability?

    This is coming from having used/currently using the Fiio E10 (which I recommend taking a look at, if you haven't yet). I assume the DAC section of the E10 wouldn't be as good as the BitHead, but I think a lot of the experience should still apply. Have to agree with Papander to an extent; as far...

    Fiio e10 worth it for 65 bucks?

    I remember that people were saying the headphone jack had issues, though that was supposed to be resolved in the later versions, I think. I will say, however, that I have one of the older versions, and I personally never saw any issues; it's supposed to be a desktop amp, after all, and the...

    Dilemma: ~$350 for amp/dac + speakers, too many options @.@

    Thank you; your replies have been a great places to start some further research. Just a few questions: Would the E10's headphone out section be enough to drive the T50RP, being orthos? And for the speakers, are those also called the Infinity Primus P152? (I now see that they're actually the...

    Dilemma: ~$350 for amp/dac + speakers, too many options @.@

    Wow, thank you for the quick reply. The E10 seems like an interesting option, and I'm reading some good things about it. Just for clarification, the setup would then be: computer --USB---> E10 ---Line out---> Dayton Audio amp --RCA out?---> Infinity Primus                                    ...

    Dilemma: ~$350 for amp/dac + speakers, too many options @.@

      Hi. I'm quite new to head-fi, but have been using it as a primary research source for a while now. I'm sorry if this isn't the right section for posting this...   I have a Fostex T50RP (soon to be modded ), which I found the Fiio E6 to be quite incapable of powering. What I would like...
