    Spring Toronto Meet - Saturday May 04, 2013 Impressions

    A big thanks to Jeff for organizing this meet and to everyone for bringing in your gear to share. There were lots of great setups at this meet and I wish I had more time to try them all. In particular, I would have liked to spend more time with the Koss ESP 950s as I have been bit by the...

    Opinions on Sony? (Specifically V6/7506)

    Years ago, when I still lurked head-fi, MDR-v6 was a pretty popular entry level headphone. In fact, the MDR-v6 was my first decent headphone purchase.

    What makes RSA amps any better(or more $$) than my CMOY?

    If that's the case and you are satisfied with the cmoy, then that is your good fortune. I find the sonic differences between different solid state amps are much less noticeable compared to the sonic differences between different series of headphones. The same goes for DACs.

    Why are audiophiles such an addiction?

    Quote: I can certainly attest to that. I'm pretty satisfied with my W5000, though at times I do feel a tinge of desire to try electrostats (and my wallet cringes in fear). Usually you don't hear much from these people because they don't frequent the forums as much. When I first started...

    Beyerdynamic DT880 + Meier Headfive, Good Combo?

    Quote: Originally Posted by 1Time I used a Headfive with a HD580 and found it underpowered. FWIR, there's no way I would trust a Headfive to do the DT880/250 justice. For advice on amping the DT880, I suggest reading, searching, and posting in the full size amp forum for "DT880"...

    The ATH-W5000. Brief impressions.

    This may be unpopular...but...

    The V150s sound incredibly muddy. There is no bass nor treble extension - all I hear is a midbass hump. I would much rather spend $20 on KSC75s.

    Help with a reference audiophile grade setup

    Here's a brief comparison between the K501 and the following headphones: AKG K701 balanced - The K701 is somewhat warmer but still share many similarities in sound signature. It's been a long time since I've heard these so I can't help you with a more detailed comparison, though I'm sure...
