Recabled D1001 vs RX700
Alright, so while I wait for the D2000s to make it to my door, I decided to recable my D1001 today and see if they could compete with the JVC RX700. So far, the RX700 has defeated all the phones in my sig. I just really like this phone. I've heard people on here say (with some debate) a...- Rex81

Putting on new mini jacks - newb question
Hi, sorry for the completely dumb question, but I plan on shortening the cables on a couple of my phones. One currently has 1/4" and the other has 1/8" jack. Can I use the Neutrik NYS231 for both of these? Redco has these for like 65 cents a piece. Whats the difference between a two pole and...- Rex81

AD700 vs DT770 Pro/80 - A mid-fier's first impressions
So I just got my DT770/Pro 80 (well used and burned in) and I thought I would compare them to my beloved AD700. First let me say that I'm a proud mid-fier. I appreciate good sound, but i'm not willing to pay a fortune for it, and I believe that one's returns diminish very steeply when...- Rex81

Can someone explain how a cable makes a difference when the drivers are fed by hair thin copper?
So I was doing a little work on my HD565 last night and had them all disassembled. I was looking at the bare driver and noticed it was fed by the tiniest wires I have ever seen, not much thicker than a human hair. I'm sure there's a reasonable answer for this, but it just seems strange to me...- Rex81

Fiio E5 vs BSG cMoy
First let me state that I don't have a ton of headphone and amp experience, but I figure thats ok since a well established audiophile will probably not be interested in these amps in the way that a noob on a budget (like me ) will be. I compared these amps over a few hours with various types...- Rex81

Fiio E5 impressions with AD700 and HD565
So I got a chance to spend some time with my E5 today and I thought I would give my thoughts on it. Keep in mind this is the first amp I've owned so I can't comment on comparisons between amps, only the comparisons between amped and unamped with the E5. First off, its friggin' tiny. But...- Rex81

Go for AD700 or save up for D2000?
I'm new to the headphone hobby. I started with the HD280 Pro, then found a pair of HD565s for $40 locally, and now I'm really enjoying myself! I just purchased a Fiio E5 which should be here tomorrow, and thinking about buying a biosciencegeek CMoy amp and comparing the two. Most of my use will...- Rex81
