couldn't agree more, finally found some one that has the same impression as me, especially on the Grado 325, AKG 701 (mine is 702) and HD650. While my amps is on the D10 and onkyo receiver. On the other end, my W3 is very close to HD650 but not as dark.

Does it comes with pre-out for powered speakers?

Another sheer beauty, high-end DAP emerging into the market: http://colorfly.colorful.cn/product_index.html, more from headfonia: http://www.headfonia.com/colorfly-c4   I'm damn curious to find out how would it pair with SR-71B in the future.

Been reading the forum for a while and finally decided to make some purchase. But the hard earn money has to be well spent, so I guess this is the best thread for me to get some opinions.   My desire setup: ipod Classic 6G --> RSA Mil spec LOD cable --> RSA SR-71B --> Whiplash Elite TWag...

Just curious guys, would it be possible for someone, Ray for example, to develop a portable tube based balanced amp?

I'd rather keep it for that price ;> You've secured yourself a darn good deal dude!

I've just got myself Glue Ear 2 weeks ago, done the removal a week ago but not doing good at the moment, strange thing is, after the removal, my left ear is back at the "Not Burn in Stage" Everything I here is muddy, dull, etc. My headphones are like brand new out of the box through my left ear...

I visited the local Apple store during working day/hour in order to test the Beats in quieter environment. I even brought my ibasso D10 and ipod along. The result of the audition was a huge disappointment because I've waited a year and so for the Beats to landed at our shore so I could get one...

Been reading about information on Electrostatic headphones and found this - Marantz SE-1S Electrostatic Headphone. It was made back in 1974, older than me. Google was being very stingy on the search results, didn't turn out much like what I wanted. Any owner of this beauty here? Some...

Looking at the newly released WES, KGSS and A-10. This would be the Sennheiser next Electrostatic Headphone. Their HE-60 and HE-90 are available only as second hand, if you manage to find one. I've been looking for Marantz SE-1S for quite some time but found no luck so far. For new puchase there...

My very humble opinion, believe in your ear, not gear. Get in the retail with patience, close your eye, ignore the salesperson that probably shows you unsatisfying body language when you test each IEM for 30 mins. I've tried the 530, TripleFi 10 Pro, W3 and IE8. Ended up I purchased the W3...
