In need of a critique of my set-up
I sort of figured in the back of my mind that, any future gains, no matter how small, would come at a large price. Now I just need to focus on more effective ways to appreciate what I already have. I appreciate your candor and bluntness. Cheers- The Rino

TWag vs Mogami
Any suggestions on wether I should cannibalize my wonderfully made 48" TWag cable from Whiplash Audio and re-terminate it w/ connections for my Senn HD600's. It was made for my Senn IE8's and I figure I will get much more listening enjoyment out of my 600's benefiting from the more expensive...- The Rino

In need of a critique of my set-up
I was looking at the HM 801 but I don't need something that big w/ an amp built in. I think I might try switching cables to Jena Labs Ultra wire. I just don't know what the single thing that I can so that will give me the biggest benefit is.- The Rino

In need of a critique of my set-up

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
Great! Now I just need to take the plunge and chop the end of the stock cable. Did you have any problems soldering the the stock cable to the XLR? I heard that Sennheiser tries to prevent it by making it difficult by putting some kind of coating on it. What kind of solder did you use? Can you...- The Rino

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
I apologize if this was recently addressed but I searched this thread and found nothing so here goes. I just received my first pair of 600's and I must say after having only my balanced Senn IE8's and my Protector it is a very pleasant change to say the least. I want to convert my 600's into...- The Rino

I just received my Protector from Ray 15 min ago. I've been using the Hornet M for 5 years and I must say it sounds nice.
