Another thing to look out for is Sanyo their pre-80s stuff is excellent, my Dad still uses his Sanyo amplifier and speakers. Only ever had one problem in the last 30years which was a blown fuse.

It might be your laptop because I know when I connect my AD900 directly to my computers onboard sound I get the same problem you are experiencing which is lots of static and popping. My guess is it isn't something to do with the sound files but rather the source they're being played from. Do you...

I have the very same adaptor, the plugs should be colour coded however this model doesn't have the colour coding. There isn't a difference but you will have to work out which side is for the left and right which can be done by playing some form of audio file which would indicate which is the...

There is no point in getting an Amp for AD700, even for AD900 the improvements aren't unbelievable, instead of spending $200+ on an amplifier for headphones that don't require it, you're better off getting a better pair of headphones. However in this case it sounds like you've already got a pair...

I just used audacity to rip a coldplay viva la vida flac to 128kb and 320kb. Then I randomised the list in foobar and changes the names and repeated such that I had no idea which song was which. I was able to tell which one was FLAC however I wasn't able to hear a difference between 128kb and...

I don't think I quite understand. Do you recommend I say that "I am doing research and development for headphone amplifiers?".

But aren't they meant to be business samples and thus I would need a business application not personal/home application?

I'm currently trying to order a free sample of LT1364 from Linear tech but they are asking for application of the chips what should I put in this box? Thanks

Yellowpages only exist in Australia? If so there is a place in Perth that allows you to listen to some high-end headphones and sources you can even bring your own in to test. The website is Headphonic | Australian Headphone Specialists: Buy Etymotic, Alessandro, Audio Technica, Ultimate Ears...

After eyeing the Zero and posting here on numerous occasions I have decided to finally bite the bullet and buy the zero, however I've just got a few questions that still need to be answered. My current Amp has a "pop" or power surge when turned on does the zero have similar issues? Also...

2500songs which takes up 14gb however I only really listen to half of it. I cant believe how much music some of you guys have.

I have no doubt in my mind that the power cord has a significant impact on the SQ before I replaced my cheap stock cable the sound was a little muffled and the highs just seemed to be missing but after I replaced it the sound became more detailed, the high magically appeared and everything else...

The ad700 were never bass heavy and if you wanted a bass heavy set of headphones you DEFINITELY bought the wrong headphones.
