Fostex T50RP : How to fix Treble Rolloff?
Is there a mod out there that restores the frequency band from 10kHz to 20kHz? On every example I've seen, there's a downward slope from 10kHz that reaches -10 dB at 20kHz. Is there a fix?- peli_kan

Radians custom molded ear plugs/custom iem plug
Quote: I'm currently writing reviews for both carbon fiber distancers and the HE-6, so in depth impressions on these customs will have to wait. Wow, I punned. I'm so sorry.- peli_kan

Radians custom molded ear plugs/custom iem plug
I've made my own Radians custom tips, and they work to complete perfection with my Etymotic ER-4B. Sound signature is unchanged, comfort is simply unbeatable. They're ugly when removed from my ears, but they look great when worn since I took care to smooth them out properly. I used the...- peli_kan

Headphone Sightings 2
Etymotics galore this week. Three separate HF2/HF5 sightings, one more with a first generation ER-4S. I saw a photo of a well known SC2 gamer who studies philosophy here. I approve of the HD595s he was sporting.- peli_kan

Just listened to some Fostex T50RPs today... WOW!
They are identical, apart from the pads they use (V2's are smoother -> increased bass response). Quote:- peli_kan

HE-6 Loaner Program
So, with the speaker out from a SI T-Amp Gen 2, the HE-6 have uncanny bass extension. A tone generator, combined with subjective listening, tells me that there is no obvious roll-off right down past 30hz. More to follow, using speaker out from Proton D540.- peli_kan

HE-6 Loaner Program
Quote: I'll have the east-coast HE-6 in hand within a few days, and as it happens I have a Sonic Impact T-Amp 2 lined up for testing as well. Both the original and the Gen 2 SI T-Amp work well with the K1000, hopefully it does well here too. I don't have the proper cable/adapter to...- peli_kan

Integrated Amplifier, quality of Headphone Out
I'm curious as to how vintage integrated amplifiers, namely the NAD 3020, fare when compared to popular headphone amplifiers. The only comparisons I've found are 8+ years old, and I'm not familiar with the models referred to. The goal? To drive a pair of extra-manly HE-6. EDIT: Just...- peli_kan

help with RE0 or ER6
Don't let the specs fool you, the RE0 is easily driven. Isolation is good if you use the bi-flanges, though it still falls short of what etymotics provides. The general consensus is that the sound quality of the RE0 is superior, though preferences regarding fit and frequency response...- peli_kan

Why do the 'pro-cable' side refuse to accept the science and do blind tests?
I adored "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark," within which "Dragon in my Garage" was used, to the point that I racked up a huge library fine rereading. I wish Sagan were still around. D': Quote:- peli_kan

Nuforce shipping high performance USB and 3.5mm cables in 2 weeks
I'm sorry, but I agree with BScott and JamesL on this. High quality analog cables? Legit. USB/optical with suspect marketing claims? Please stop. NuForce, don't break my heart! Quote:- peli_kan

Recommendation for budget full-size headphones
At this price range, it really pays to buy used. $70 is right below the cusp of a slew of quality headphones, such as the Audio Technica AD700, Alessandro MS-1, Audio Technica MTH-50, and Sennheiser HD280.- peli_kan
