Hello - I have been hugely enjoying a new pair of HD800S for a couple of weeks. I think I might have found my final headphone but for one small but annoying issue - they are singing to me!   If I use them with the 4-pin XLR cable from my Oppo HA-1, I am getting a very faint singing/whistling...

Folks - rather than trying to wade through the hundreds of pages of threads on this headphone I thought I'd try the direct approach...   I am trying this 'phone at present and am finding the above results - thick heavy muddy sound, treble is poor and lacking detail. I am running them off a...

I love my stock Denon AH-D5000, bought 2nd hand for a song. Of all the phones I've heard and owned they are the ones that give me huge amounts of joy. I love 'em.   So obviously thinking of upgrades to get even more of the same..... should I splash out on a pair of D7000, or go the whole hog...

I know its an odd thing to talk about on a headphones forum but thought I'd try....   I am mainly a speaker listener. Although I love headphones I generally only use them when music will disturb other people late at night.  SO most of my listening is done on speakers.  Until a couple of...

Which currently available Cans have the best build quality? I.E. which are the least flimsy, most solidly constructed, most feel like if you dropped them they wouldn't break, do not creak or rattle in any way when in use? And feel like quality pieces of kit i.e. solid, nice materials? I...

For a few years I had Sennheiser HD650s powered by an Earmax - nice, then changed the Earmax to a Lehman BC Linear, even nicer IMO. But I always had a nagging feeling the Sennheisers were a bit distant sounding and losing detail, so I also tried AKG 701s..... more detail but ultimately for...

Not sure if this is the correct forum.... I am sure I cannot be the only person who has tried this but can't find any other reports. I have a VSE level 5 modded Sony SCD-1 disc spinner, which outputs only 1.12V from its balanced outputs (claimed to be 600 ohm impedence). I think that is a...

Does anyone know of a good headphone amp with X-feed, and is available in the UK? Can't seem to find anything and would prefer to avoid importing and customs etc. P.S. Headphones will be Senn HD650.

has anyone ever heard about this headphone amp, or even heard it? it appears to be an OTL tube device, pictures I've seen from an ad on ebay suggest its well made. But I cannot find any mention of it anywhere on the web, no reviews or mention of the manufacturer. Any help appreciated...

Does anyone here know how to replace the tubes on the Stax energizer SRM-006t? Is it simply a case of taking the lid off and putting in new valves, or does anything else need to be done? thanks.
