    Just listened to some Fostex T50RPs today... WOW!

    Can someone please suggest a succinct methodology for testing these, by ear, beyond just listening to music? I've got Audio ToolBox OSX on my Macbook. I understand it's a signal generator that can produce several tones at one time, with varying frequency, phase, amplitude and signal type (sine...

    Perhaps I haven't done enough homework on the subject, but I've got a probably very elementary question. What exactly is the function of the bass vents? How do they work? I ask because I was perusing this thread last night and I read an interesting suggestion by Botbyte. He says, in post #2422...

    LFF, I'm not hitting on you or anything, but has anyone ever told you that you've got a nice graph?

    I'm glad to see someone else has tried using these. I posted a little while back that I cut, with a sharp x-acto blade, one of these sponges (magic eraser) into little 1/8" - 1/4" cubes and filled the cups with them. I much prefered this to the cotton ball method, I'm just waiting for someone...

    I've had these headphones for just about a month now and I thought I'd post some impressions. My backround in hifi audio was until recently limited to 2 channel rigs with an emphasis on frugality. The reality of being a poor student, then father of two young boys has severely limited my "hobby...

    Hey everyone,   I just wanted to share something I did last night which without a doubt worked really, really well. I've briefly read through the different mods in the summary page and haven't come across this particular one. If however, it's already been dicussed, then please pardon my...

    Fair enough. I don't have any further data to provide, but thanks for the clarification. Why then would manufacturers include useless data?   Quote:

    Like I mentioned earlier, I'm not the most technically inclined. Here is what I found on the specs of the amp:   output impedance: 32-600 ohm (4-8 speakers) output power: 600 mW (5W x 2 at 1 KHz speakers) frequency response: 10 Hz - 30 KHz(-1dB) T.H.D. <1% (1W) S/N 89dB   In any...

    I'm sorry, I'm not overly knowledgable with the whole technical side of hifi, but is there any reason why the Glow One shouldn't work well with the Fostex? It has an output impedance of 32-600 ohms and it's output is 600 mW. I rarely turn it up past, say 9 o'clock, and it's very loud and...

    I don't want to derail the current with/without plasticine mod questions, but I just wanted to share my thoughts on these headphones. After owning them for just under a week and having only accomplished the most basic mods, they are bar none the most fun I've had in audio in quite a long time! I...

    Hi everyone,   I happened upon this thread while searching elsewhere for info on the Audeze line of headphones. Briefly, I'm the father of two young kids and I've noticed lately that I, sadly, listen to much less music. Lack of free time being the first, obvious reason, but also because my...
