My ex sent me this and I think it's a riot! From http://www.sixsixfive.com

Which topic is the hottest issue here?

This way we can keep the Senn bashing in here and the AKG bashing in the other. As before, I'll start the bashing: The Senns are veiled and boomy.

And keep it out of my thread about the cable mod. If you are happy with your 501s then DON'T DO THE MOD!! I'll start the bashing. The 501s are light on the bass and are shrill on the highs.

Now, Tangent you have my ass all confused on the dB to G relationship. I thought it was : dB=20 log(G) Where G=5 is about 14dB and where G=10 is 20? This gives a differenc of 6dB. The formula that matchs your values (in the other thread I decided to keep this discussion out of) is...

Well, being without HD600s can lead a man to do some crazy things. I've often wondered if the bass roll-off in the K501s was a result of driver design of possbily a weak cable. The stock cable is rather flimsy and too long (IMHO). So I decided to replace the cable with something a little...

Any suggestions of a good, no, great performance and recording of this masterpiece? It's my favorite Mozart composition. The melody is so airy and the voice leading used in this piece makes me think that if he were alive today he would be playing piano in a jazz bar in Manhattan. I'd love...

How is it that, as a guitarist, I slept through the 90's and never heard this band before? Sure, I've heard *of* them but assumed that it was a group from the mid-to-late eighties that was a bit washed-up. Now *why* did I think this? After making a comment on the Rush's Vapor Trails thread...

I can't seem to find this anywhere.... Maybe it's just that intuitive but I'm an idiot so I'll ask anyway. Given that one knows the following: Headphone sensitivity Headphone impedance input power (what are we looking for here, mW, V??) desired output dB at full-volume (or no input...

Stupid polls... whats your opinion?

As I reported on another post I ordered a crapload of opamps to test. Among those ordered were a few OPA637. The package arrived this morning and I have't designed my test circuit yet. But I was most intrested in hearing the OPA637 after reading the data sheet. Basically, it's a OPA627+...

I want to start another posts to answer the original poster's questions and NOT stray into a technical pissing match. From the original post Quote: I am thinking of adding an external DAC to my CD player (Musical Fidelity X-Ray). I am consideirng one of the latest upsampling DACs such...

Couldn't really figure out which form to post this one to... Yesterday I read some hearsay that spoke of someone taking a wireless RF transmitter/reciever in the GHz range meant for wireless video transmission. The claim is they plugged an SPDIF coax into the transmitter and was able to...

As I posted on another thread I'm looking at some high-end sources but they all have a fairly large flaw; they are single disc players. All of the ones I'm considering though have digital inputs (Cary 306/200 is on the top of my must-hear list). With this in-mind I would like an uber-CD...

This weekend, after listeing to the Toshiba SD-2109 as a source I was reading another thread here and git the bright idea to replace the caps in the power supply of my Corda. They have now burned in for over 24 hours and I'm happy to report... WOW! Maybe it's psycholoigical but the bass seems...

This weekend I decided to hook my Corda into my DVD player, a Toshiba SD-2109. I was absolutly blown away with the clarity and dynamics. The detail that was pulled out was amazing. It was the same effect as when I added a headamp into the mix. It was as if I was hearing the CD for the first time...

I've decide that redbook is here to stay... With that in-mind I am looking for a source that does some magic to the high-frequencies. I *clearly* notice on some vocals this god-awful nasty distortion above the vocals. It sounds like fignernails on a chalkboard to me. Currently the best...

Whatever mod gave me that title... One could and should consider antibacterial soap as self-defense. Bad karma comes from the *intent* to do harm to anotehr living thing. Stepping on an ant by accident and torturing an ant with a can of liquid air are two totally different things from a...

This has to be my favorite DMB music ever. The problem is the quality of what's available as this CD was never released (or even finished for that matter). The copy I have is just awful. Low bitrate MP3, artifacted like mad and not consistant with the encoding. The inconsistant encoding...

Lately I've *really* been digging "Kind of Blue" and I've heard some other Miles Davis on some jazz stations lately. I really dig the 'standards' where there is an intro, solos, and then the cadence. Any recomendations on Davis (or others)?

And it's a biggie... My cat things it's tasty. This is *NOT* a good thing with a $100 cable! Any ideas? If I had to choose between the Clou or the cat, the Clou would go! Of *ALL* the things for her to chew on she has to choose the $100 cable!! BTW, no real damage has been done yet.

Thx utdeep! But I can't use them yet. I'm an idiot and forgot the Clou Red had the 1/4" jack instead of the 3.5mm jack. And of all the adapters I have around here not a single one is what I need (isn't that how it always is?)!!! Anyway I sampled out of my Sony reciever and it sounded...

I don't like it. The springy strain relieve was no good for grounding I thought. Any suggestions for a mini plug that will fit a cable this size?

As promised in another thread, I'd like to start a discussion about a few CD choices that will show off good low bass extension to compare the AKG K-501s to the HD600 with a Clou Red. I'll start out with Stings Brand New Day, the very begining of the very first song "A Thousand Years". So...
