Quote: Yes, I do. Not a problem.  

Quote:   Even though  your battery last longer, the only way it will charge is if your unit is powered down.     On my Mac, when I had my modded HiFace, the only way I could power the HiFace on without causing a kernel panic was to do so prior to powering up my Mac or logout prior to...

Quote: As soon as I heard about this way of adjusting the clamping, I grabbed my HD650's and did it.  It's very safe and it works a treat.  I also did it to my HD600's.  MUCH better now.

Quote: No, I haven't really.  I've been looking for information that addresses some of the things I experience and which I think would make comparative testing an issue in some situations.  The books available tend to give formal information on how we respond to music and why?  I'm not...

Quote: I need to correct your spelling there ... i.e., 'addiction' and not 'addition'. 

^ Educational post there.  Thanks for that.  Makes a lot of sense.   HDTracks.com has a growing  catalog of music on sale, but it's very clear that a woeful minority of mainstream music is available there because the lossless compression that they use is FLAC.

Quote: One good reason for going with the EVO is that you have the option of using battery's or a power supply unit that avoids the hassle of power down and recharge rituals.  I decided to go with the EVO and very much appreciate not having to worry about batteries and hence, the...

Quote: Refreshing.   Words bereft of emotional content, but instead, containing a pragmatic analysis, are often true, though admittedly painful/annoying for those who suffer as a result of falling victim to the truth in it. Great comments sir.   The good thing is that there's choice...

Quote:   That I agree with.  It's a potential benefit from both sides in that it's wake up call for those who think all they hear is accountable by the physical.  However, on close analysis, it's also a wakeup call for those who place too much trust in experimental data for refuting...

Quote: LOL!!!

Quote: A fabulous post.   I highlighted the parts that I fully agree with and thought very important.

Am I the only one reading mostly comments about the fundamental question of burn-in, rather than about the use of pink noise, specifically, as the way to optimally burn-in a set of headphones?  I guess the pink noise question can't be entertained before the fundamental question has been settled...

Quote: Well, I guess I stumbled on great synergy via an SS solution.

Quote:   It's definitely not an inferior format in terms of performance.  So, if one owns an iPod, I fail to see the problem.  Anyway.....  

Quote: $2000 is within my threshold and only just.   I'd take the ed10's without the fancy stand and a less luxurious case.  

Quote: When I hold my Ed8's in my hands, I know that I've paid a lot for build and not simply sound.  This was a confirmation for me, actually.  I assumed this to be the case when I decided to get them.   I agree that the Ed8 LE are sonically and with regard to build, the same as the...

Quote: Thanks for that comment Skylab.  If I were to get the Ed10's, it would be for the very same reasons, though I question the reality of the notion of 'incremental improvement'.  I've been doing so with myself.  I've decided that it's a mistake to think that I would personally be...

Quote: I love bass and I think that's one territory that needs further exploration on my part, with regards to sound reproduction with headphones.  I don't love bass in quantity, but quality.  Well reproduced bass does so much for my enjoyment of music.  Since it's so important, I dislike...

Quote:   I don't have anywhere to put the darned amps!! Haha.  But if I did.... I'd likely follow your trend and try a couple others out of fun. Not for the search for neutral that seems endless and boring since there's no reference that is more than just words... 'what's exactly on the...

Quote:   Touchy, touchy.  My comment came from two things: MrSpenkelink's comments, as well as the comments made about other cans here and on Head-Fi in general.  It seems prudent to consider these points while in anticipation of the Ed10's.  My comments have nothing to do with judging a...

^An interesting point that comes up now and again and which I tend to forget.   This may well be a factor that accounts for different experiences.  I'm a relatively low level listener.   So it would seem that equipment synergy, one's preferred listening level, and also very importantly...

Quote: It's not about my thinking what you're saying.  I'd be bold enough to say that I no longer doubt it.   Quote: It's not about truth here, so his having listened to any of the cans in question has nothing to do with his observation.  It's rather about the conflicting views...

Along the line of I Ching in terms of a great serene listen from a great recording, I invite you with similar enthusiasm, to try Mike Oldfields "The Songs of Distant Earth".   It packs a similarly wide dynamic range to that of I Ching's recording.   A very satisfying listen. 

Quote: I have no problem believing you.  We miss some serious gear and cans while going along with the majority as sheep.  If not for the concern with weight and ergo I'd have definitely had a PS1000.

Quote: Tuning fork aside, he does have a reasonable point that when differences are subtle between test gear that just as knowledge of the test gear could psycho-acoustically influence the result of a sited comparison; in the same way, the DBT test environment could also exert a...
