    senn 595 bass vs. k701 bass vs. 325i bass

    This is going to be brief because I'm tired.... But the K701, while possessive of big and full ("natural" as said before) bass with the right amplification (I'm listening to "Alone With You" by Deadmau5 right at this second which has both big, round bass and shimmery highs in it, and the K701...

    k701, SR 325i, D2000, My Head is going to Explode: Can't Decide

    Wow, I haven't been to Head-Fi in ages... and to think my wallet was safe! I own the K701 and have had extensive listening experience with the 325i... based on what you describe as your musical tastes and so forth, between those two (as the ones I have actually heard) I would probably...

    What headphones are sexy sounding? Seriously.

    What headphones are sexy sounding? Seriously.

    Grado woodies.... bahahahahhaha..... I didn't even catch that until just a second ago. But really? The sexiest sound I have heard has been from HD650s... I don't own them, but I had a lengthy listen to a pair of them a little while ago. I found them very warm and intimate overall... plus...

    What Live concerts have you attended?

    This thread will be a challenge! Let's see... I don't think I will beat a lot of people here though! The Tragically Hip was the first legit concert I ever attended, some point in the late 90s, I think it was when Phantom Power was their most recent album. I've since seen them during the In...

    'hottest' album you own?

    Californication is exceptionally bad... also Kaiser Chiefs' "Yours Truly Angry Mob", an album which I have to turn down every time I listen to. The opening chords of "Ruby" almost killed my ears once as it came on the old Shuffle right after I finished listening to Rachmaninov. On the flip...

    Head-Fi Vinyl Geeks! Help!

    I was at my local record store today (Zulu Records, West 4th, Vancouver... woot!) and found a copy of Jaco Pastorius' self-titled LP, 1976 pressing on Epic records... aside from sleeve shelf wear, it's unplayed. CAT # PE 33949. I love Pastorius, so this was... Jackpot! Now... I looked this...

    Brick & mortar record store database

    Hey, this is not a bad thread... In Kingston, Ontario,there are a few neat stores: Brian's Record Option, in the Hub, Princess St. - This place is incredibly cramped and dusty and dark, but it is wall-to-wall with records of all kinds, an absolutely huge selection... mostly older stuff...

    Guys, K702 is coming. Be prepare.

    Quote: Originally Posted by FL210 I guess K702 will be black version of K701? Many hate toilet white. The K601 is black with an identical housing to the K701. So not really. Also, requisite zealotry: the white is awesome! Damn the haters! I think it looks sharp, especially...

    Solid State Gear - Leave On?

    My amp has no on/off switch... so on, I guess.

    K1000 with Dual Micro Mono-Filament cable - less contact with conductor, more detail!

    Stello DA100 (show-off/impressions thread)

    So... I've been reading this lengthy thread and some other threads, and have noticed the DA100 Signature... and my question is as follows. If I have no plans to be going to a Balanced system in the foreseeable future, is there any reason to drop the extended coin on the Signature?

    Yuin PK1-PK2 impressions thread

    I just received a pair of PK2 a couple of days ago and have been listening to them extensively through my iPod (they're going to be my main portable 'phones), and I must say I'm impressed! They kick the crap out of my old (now-dead) Vibes IMHO, very fun and involving sound, I would agree with...

    How close do you sit to your source?

    I am extremely tempted to answer "the Depths of Sheol" just for a laugh. But really, I don't catch any discernible noise at reasonable listening volume, and my computer sits about 2 feet from my DAC and a metre from my amp...
