    TASCAM US-122 mkII driver problem?

    Cheers everyone,   I´m not entirely sure whether I chose the right forum to post my question in, never the less I´m hoping that since you guys are usually pretty nice people you´ll help me out instead of hating on me :D   I bought myself an audio interface for home recording, and since I...

    Sennheiser HD 518 vs Audio-Technica ATH-TAD400? (for a metalhead noob)

    Does sennheiser make any cases for this type of headphones? I  would expect that that they would as multiple models have more-less the same shape, however I can´t seem to find any cases on their page, or in the e-shops. I guess the reason why I´m looking for a case is clear, I don´t want to...

    HD 518 teardown - with a shocking twist!

    Quote: and the best sound is when the rear enclosure is virtually non-existant? I noticed that you guys give pretty high ratings to the HD600, and it seems that there isn´t much behind the driver except a mesh, that probably protects the driver. The mod for HD555 consisted basically of...

    The attenuation of In-Ear Monitors? (for live playing, metal concerts)

    hmm, sudenly I have an urge to start believing the frontmen when they claim that they "can´t hear" the audience shouting :D

    HD 518 teardown - with a shocking twist!

    Are the pads on the 558/598 any different from the 518? I don´t really care for the material used on them, but its tolerable. If they are better on the higher models, then that might be a minor way to mod them.   Can I also have a question? I´m quite new to head-fi, and I have no Idea what...

    Sennheiser HD 518 vs Audio-Technica ATH-TAD400? (for a metalhead noob)

    whats the lower price limit for headphone amps that are actually worth buying (probably portable ones, because of space)? I´ll admit that I know nothing about them. I do study electrical engineering, so I do know something about amps, but not much managed to stay in my head... what exactly is...

    The attenuation of In-Ear Monitors? (for live playing, metal concerts)

    thanks for the reply, I appreciate the time you took to answer something that might seem trivial to you guys. even tough I did know most of the thing you said, I had no idea that the crowd was mixed into them as well, and I never realized that about the 2 ears combining the sound pressure...

    Pictures of your computer rigs! Post them here!

    I noticed a lot of you have all kinds of cool headphone stands, I´ve never noticed such a thing in a store before (perhaps because I wasn´t looking). What kind of store am I most likely to stumble on such a thing, (except for audiophile stores, we don´t have much of those)

    Sennheiser HD 518 vs Audio-Technica ATH-TAD400? (for a metalhead noob)

    I think that more modern stuff (as in metalcore) sounds better on them than dream theater, for them I would like more clarity, and probably a bit less bass (i´m definitely not a basshead :D), they don´t feel as clear as people in reviews described them, but that might be to the lack of...

    The attenuation of In-Ear Monitors? (for live playing, metal concerts)

    Hey everyone,   I always thought that when musicians play live with in-ear monitors, they need to blast the signal on a really high volume in order for the monitors to work (which would lead to some serious hearing damage I guess). I never realized that the monitors can actually attenuate...

    Quote: in that case you shouldn´t have any trouble with it, but honestly they thought us about the transform and spectrums at I think 2-3 courses (that i managed to pass somehow) before I finally understood what they were on an acoustics course. I guess that audio makes it easier to...
