I came a cross this a while ago http://news.discovery.com/human/life/worlds-quietest-room-will-drive-you-crazy-in-30-minutes.htm   What would happen if one would have a speaker setup here? At first i thought it might be great, no unwanted reflections but then there arent any reflections at...

At the moment i like (almost every form of )metal, blues, hard rock, classic rock, classis pop and johny cash. I want to broaden my musical horizon...  Classical/orchestral music is something i want to try but i dont really know where to start.... Mahler, bach, mozart? Maybe some jazz to...

Planning to upgrade the current stable  i've been looking at the he-500 and T1 mainly. Recent recommendations have been the LCD-2. The RS-1 has been a "suppemental" option.   I've been reading and posting in some of the higher end phone threads. Most of the replies were about what would fit...

I cant help the itch, upgraditis is kicking in.   Is there a list of manufactures sorted by country? I know there's Jan Meier and Hegel but thats about it. Any other euro companies that sell dacs?   Edit; 15-07-11@23:36h Decided to sum it all up in one post. Maybe handy for future...

Last weekend my grandpa celebrated his birthday at my parents' place, outside on the terrace. The only decent set around was a complete onkyo/hepta receiver/speaker set which i had no intend to haul outside. There where however a set of logitec comp speakers.   I thought of putting a 3.5 to...

Another praise for the fostex T50RP!     I just received my first ortho's, a pair of Fostex T50RP. Bought them for 95 euro used from Shamu144. They are modded so im not sure(yet) how the original sound. This are my first impressions.  I'm not sure if its fair to pitch them “against”the...

I am considering different upgrades. Either some new phones or a new DAc to go with the GS-1. My current dac is the DACmagic and i like it. Some say it delivers equal to $1000 dollar dacs, other say its not really special. What kind of upgrade could i be expecting with spending 1000-1500...

I have no idea where to put it and if these actualy exist....   I am visiting concerts are a regular basis and my ear plugs are from Alpine(motosafePro) which i bought for motocycle riding. They have the music version(MusicsafePro) but though the filters have different colours it seems...

At a dutch meet in 2009 i had the fortunate chance to try the AKG Sexttet. All i remember i was awed by the space and clearity they offered. I know of the different production era's(early, mid and late). There are several dutch sites that have the 240 MKII for sale at €125. Is this the 240 with...

Admitted, im guilty. This place is really bad for you wallet..... I started reading back here since a week or so and it cost me almost €700. I now have a second-hand Stello CDT100 in my possesion.....   Needed to spent a hour moving stuff to create room for the new set-up. Its now my...

My Little Dot cd player died a while back so i resorted to my pc. The dvd player is garbage and most of my music is on cd. Ripping it all to FLAC would take ages. I have been eyeing the CDT100 for a long time now and i found a dutch store that has a demo model on sale for €695. As of yet i have...

How weird this place maybe to ask for such a tool, since the people here are into all sorts of things, hobbies, lifestyles and what not i am trying it anyway I like the outdoors. Camping, hobby/amateur foresting. My small Buck camp axe is a nice tool and love my Buck folder. I want...

I've bit the bullet and going to take up Radio Controlled cars as a new hobby. Its been lingering for like 6-7 years and never pushed through but i cant resist any longer. Have been reading, looking and searching the net for over 2 weeks and next week will probably the time I'll be purchasing...

Just a simple game i used to play with guys on an other forum. I will start with stating 2 options. The next person starts his post with the options he chose and states the next two. Everything is permitted, just keep it within forum rules. Beer or strong liquor?

My first headphone related mod, yay. I work in shifts as a service and maintenance tech and this week was night shift. The entire week has been smooth and easy with almost zero machine failures so we had very little to do besides watching discovery on tv and surfing the internet. So I decided...

Found this just yet. Just couldn't keep myself from posting here. Culling the Herd Video

Just wondering if anyone else here is palying Altitude. Found this game today and have been playing the demo for a good set of hours. Its great fun. Fast and Simple to learn. The demo is free and allows you to fly 2 planes and one weapon set per plane. Full version is just $10 Its on steam...

So i finaly made pulled the trigger on a new amp. Ordered a GS-1 two days ago. Justin told me that the waiting time is 8-12 weeks at this moment. Alreayd exited to hear it when it arives. I guess i can survive 3 months . Does anyone know if it hurts to put my MKIII on top of it? It seems...

Damn you head-fi! When it gets colder I wear hooded sweaters a lot and love to use the hood, well as a hood. Now since i joined head-fi and acquired full-size cans the hood doesn't fit!! So i'm calling upon you brilliant minds to come up with a solution! The best solution gets awarded...

I've played a number of mmorpgs, including WoW, Everquest2, EVE online and guildwars. I can not seem to be enjoying those games anymore. Ive always been a FPS player and i like playing with other ppl, just not in a competetive style. Can anyone recommend me a fps mmo? I was gonna try Tabula...

Not sure were to put this but Polectro Buitenveldert Amsterdam in amsterdam in having a big sale with very high discounts(HD600 for €125,- instead of the regular €339,- to name one). It lasts till January 2nd. Might be intresting to have a look at.

Amon Amarth, one of my favorite metal bands. Powerfull, brutal yet melodic, viking influenced death metal. Thought it would be fun to do a little concert review. Never done a review at all so bare with me This would be the second time i'd see them, first time was the Full of Hate tour with...

So i have bit the bullet and wanna go for a solid state amp. The dutch meet offered me the change to listen to some ss amps. How much as i'm a sucker for tubes, i cant resist to try a good solid state one. Stuff i looked at so far: The Graham Slee Solo: Tried it at the meet and it sounded...

Since i've been looking around here i stumbled across Orthodynamic and Planar headphones. Curious as i am i started searching what those are and how they work. Searching here and googling for over an hour didnt help much. I found this on wiki, dont blame me for quoting it. Is the only thing i...
