Reply to review by 'satya' on item 'Asus Xonar U3'
I agree - this is a great little DAC/amp. I use it on my controlled PC at work, strictly as a plug-n-play sound card, without any of the Dolby or other features, since I am not able to install or modify any programs. I primarily listen to classical music, and am very happy with the results: very...- Satya

Headphone for classical music with limited budget
I have fallen in love with the Superlux HD681 for classical music. A pair of AKG K240 velour pads are typically called for (Sam Ash has them - never in stock, but they order them as soon as you place an order), since the stock Superllux pads are not that comfortable. For the cans and pads, it...- Satya

Cheapest velour earpads that fit Samson SR50, Superlux HD668b/HD661, AKG k240?
Quote: I bought some pads for $13 or so from ebay seller "wang_yifei", currently item number 261076791669 - they are pleathers that allow the ear to touch the driver. I cut a doughnut of 1/4" foam (4 inches outside diameter, 2.75 inches inside diameter) using this...- Satya

Seattle/Bottlehead Meet 8/4/2012 Impressions thread
Quote: Sorry for the vacation delay: the HD681 is the bassiest and has the "on-stage" voicing. The HD681B has lesser bass and puts you back in the hall, while the 681F hass the least bass (claimed flat, actually) and has a front-row voicing...- Satya

Seattle/Bottlehead Meet 8/4/2012 Impressions thread
Quote: Hi! I was the one with the Superlux HD681s, which I must admit are my favorite cans. If you spring for a pair: - make sure you get the 681, not the 681B or the 681F since they have lesser bass (the high end is the same). All three models cost the same: about $35. -...- Satya

Shure SRH1840 and SRH1440 Unveiled!
Jude: Thanks for the sneak peak at the prices. $699 is certainly better than $899. Also thanks for comparing the FR graphs and the treble level - I/we/humanity hope that more detailed performance and ergonomic info is coming soon??? Quote:- Satya

Shure SRH1840 and SRH1440 Unveiled!
Yep, the Guitar Center near Seattle Center. They didn't have the SRH940s on the demo tower: the clerk had to take them out of the box for a demo (bring your own source...). TheMarkRemains raises a good point, though: a closed-back headphone at a Guitar Center, at least in regular stock (they...- Satya

Shure SRH1840 and SRH1440 Unveiled!
The Guitar Center near me (Seattle) has the SRH-940s, by far their highest-end can. Their Sennheiser line tops out with the 380, and they have just a few very low-end AT's (not even the AD700). So, who knows - maybe these new ones will show up in person as well? Quote:- Satya

Shure SRH1840 and SRH1440 Unveiled!
This sounds the cost of attending college: a friend of mine works in the admissions office for a pricey private school, and at a recent staff meeting the question was thrown out:" when will the price stop going up and up for basically the same product?" The Dean's (honest) answer: when people...- Satya

[Review] Superlux HD668b, They Cost How Much? (Foam Mod+More for 668b+681!)
I am recklessly close to blowing a little money on these, but the bright treble gives me pause, and the filter mod would probably have to be done. For the filter mod, rather than performing surgery inside the earpieces (not in my skill set...), would it not be equivalent to put the RLC...- Satya
