    Can't stop listening to a certain song thread...

    Quote:   Yup, that's a great song! Recently I had the same with "This dying soul". It just grabs You by the throat ant doesn't let go until it finishes.   Did You listen to the whole Twelve-step Suite? It's a great experience, like a Glass Prison extended into a full-sized album!

    Hi!   Today I had an oportunity to listen to those headphones.   My sweatheart is looking for a full-sized upgrage from her Koss PortaPro, so we found a local Koss dealer and went for a recon. They had very few models in stock, so we picked the two chaepest: Koss UR-40 and the HPH-200...

    USB cable and Sound Quality

    What an interesting thread! :-)   I find myself amazed by the number of different concepts being presented here. Personally I agree with the ones that say that USB can't have any influence on sound quality. For those who thing different I have this little experiment:   - prepare a wave...

    Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones

    Quote:   You are probably right. I have some biased point of view in this subject. I love complex music and analytical systems that are able expose it's multi-layered structure. I guess not everyone likes it that way. But still I think that there is something to it. Unwanted information...

    Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones

    I saw many different reactions from my friends and family. Some of them were positive, but other quite the opposite. Take for instance my sweetheart, she cannot stand my headphones. She uses her favourite Koss PortaPro. She made two attempts at my DT880Pros and each time the result was the...

    Show us your Head-Fi station at it's current state. No old pictures please...

    Quote:   Well, I have followed Your advice and I must admit that I'm glad that I did. I went to ask in my local shops, and surprisingly found this:   It's a genuine linear, regulated power supply, big and heavy, 5V, 1A. I also got this small reducing plug to make it fit. The...

    Quote: No, I'm using standard power supply. I've never even considered changing it, but now that You have mentioned, it sounds like a good idea :-) I've been already looking for some posts on this topic, but it seems that all replacement PSUs require changing of the connector. Do...

    Hi! That's my current setup. I like to keep it simple, budget wise and flexible. Superlux + iRiver makes my portable gear. Besides iRiver, E-MU uses input of my laptop computer, Pioneer PD-S507 CD Player and occasionally TV set.

    Thoughts on sound stage and listener's concentration level.

    Hi!   I would like to share with You my recent thoughts regarding headphone's sound stage.   I like to distinguish two types of listening to music based on level of attention I pay. For each type I have a different gear with specific sound properties. First case is when I sit and listen...

    iPhone, iRiver iFP, iHP and others compared

    Thanks!   The unit was already rockboxed when I bought it. I only updated it to last stable build and set the settings to default.   I still haven’t tried the EQ adjustments, but couldn’t help myself to check out the crossfeed. My impression was that the sound stage remained pretty much...

    iPhone, iRiver iFP, iHP and others compared

    Hi everyone!   I’ve been reading this forum for some time now and learned quite a lot from You guys, thanks. Recently I made some listening test of my own and I thought that You might be interested. I got the idea of buying a smartphone – it’s nice to have a phone and DAP in a single...
