    Anyone hear the Fostex TH900???

    Eeeh...When a new pair of pads cost ~120$ retail in EU, the parts description from denon says hand stitched leather and it doesn't melt/take damage if you hold a lighter up to it, I seriously seriously doubt its pleather...

    It does have real leather pads mate, it's the lower models that don't.

    You don't really get anything better than 44khz 16bit 1136kbps off CDs and 192khz 32bit 8356kbps off downloads - so I doubt there's anything to improve on that front.

    T1, am I going bonkers?

    Well, apparantly not - I'm just beginning to fail to see the point of the amp if it doesn't do any of those things. I mean if you dont need extra power and i doesn't improve the SQ, then why have one? I mean, it sorta has to do something (And i know it does) otherwise it would be pointless to...

    Quote: Well, then we start to arrive at the point where any sensible person would ask: why then, say, spend 600$ on a portable amp, and lug that extra weight around anyway? I mean I'm probably going to keep doing it anyway, but still...

    T1, am I going bonkers?

        No, I am looking for an amp that has a vastly increased clarity, soundstage, resolution etc. over just an iPod. Because the majority of the amps I've heard only had minute improvements. Going balanced will ofcourse do some of it - but even so. I've not experienced an amp the such an impact...

    T1, am I going bonkers?

    I think the "too much crap in between" might be viable explaination for the computer setub being bad. And the fact that i easily could hear the difference between the two iPods also tells me that the T1 itself is not the reason why i couldn't spot the difference, because the deifference between...

    So just to test it, I nicked my dads old ipod 5th gen, and its true, it does actually sound noticeably better than the 6th gen, when AB testing them with my T1....Thats kinda cool...And kinda makes me want to yell at apple at the same time ^^

    T1, am I going bonkers?

    I think my real problem is that at the same time I want to do that, and also have my rig be neutral...Because that's somehow what my subconsciousness me is the best (a neutral rig) even though the rigs that I've heard that were supposedly completely neutral were boring to me.   Anyway...I...

    T1, am I going bonkers?

    Hmm...I can definitely follow what both of you are saying. And I must say my hifi filosophy is kinda' this: I want the music to sound the best possible! No matter the price (if I can afford it) and so on. Fx. Denon D7000 with the mods mine has is mindblowing with electronic music, my cusom HF2...

    T1, am I going bonkers?

    Well, my source material preferably wave/alac which would usually be cd standard 44khz 16bit 1136kbps, some bands I only have as mp3 but then others like the explorations in time and space cd I have in 196khz, 32bit 8360kbps. But yea, primarily lossless files...

    T1, am I going bonkers?

    Then maybe you can understand my canundrum when you keep in mind I dont own an actual desktop setup, nor have I ever really heard the t1 from a good full size amp, just from a cheap SE amp and an amp that's not supposed to run SE. I've owned two desktop amps in the past, before I got te t1 and...

    Quote: You know what you just did? You confirmed what I've been trying to say forever about amps!!! Holy....Someone finally got it xD And yes, I do agree the T1 is somewhat colored, as it has a warm tint to it compared to the non-tesla line, but thats what i like about it - it has very...

    T1, am I going bonkers?

    Quote: Did you even read the OP? As I stated, I can easily tell the difference between different headphones, and their quality, resolution etc. And i know for a fact that absolutely nothing is wrong with my hearing. And I can of course tell a "bad" source/amp from a good one, but the iPod...
