Well, I finally finished viewing all 3458 posts. Can I go back to sleep now.

I like the underwire bra in post #2729.   Quote:

A classic headphone wearer.  

Now that's a pair of "Headphones - WORN!!! - new thread - no nudity". I didn't see this in posts #1 through #1005. I'll work on #1006 through #3400 later.

Anybody catch these vintage Pioneer SE-30 cans, circa 1971 (post #653)? I just bought a pair off CL for $30. They sound great and seem to be more efficient than my Senn. HD650.   PS: I'm only up to post #811 so far. What a time suck, but a great thread.   Quote:  

Score!  A friend of mine brought over his headphone tube amp for me to try.  He’s letting me use it for a few weeks in exchange for working on his bicycle, how sweet is that?    It’s the Extreme model made by Singlepower Audio Inc (apparently defunct).  The L&R output tubes have makings: on...

Quote: I will try to explain the derivation of my equation.  To avoid confusion, I’ve changed some of my nomenclature.  The V in dB/V refers the SI unit of 1 volt (in the International System of Units). The terms V1 and V3, elsewhere, refer to variables representing the potential difference...

My Senn. HD650 sound way better than my HIFiMAN RE0. For in home use, I'll always use the HD650. I got the RE0 for portable players and air travel.    The HD650 are pricyer than the RE0, but they're worth every penny.     If your on the fence, just get the RE0 because they're cheap but...

Quote: Your measurement of 0.4 ohms for 15 feet of AWG 24 agrees quite well with the value calculated using data from the Wikki wire guage table.   (15 feet) x (25.67 ohm)/(1000 feet) = 0.385 ohm   Science is great!  

Looks like a good thread. Gotta read it someday.

Waitin' for the drama!

I finaly bought my Head-Direct RE0. I'll be using them for plane trips and portable audio. I'm looking forward to hearing how they sound plugged into my new Levono W500 laptop PC. The only decent headphones I can compare them to are my newly acquired Senn. HD650. Stay tuned.

Totally cool! I'll let ya know when I get the Head-Direct RE0.

WOW! Awesome thread Ijokerl. I may have to get some of these. The Head-Direct (HiFiMan) REO seem to be an exceptional value. Thanks a bunch.

I just got my Sennheiser HD 650. They sound great! This is my first decent set of headphones since I got my Realistic LV-10 circa 1975. Um... er... were they decent? . For now, I'm just running them off the headphone jack of my Yamaha RX-797 receiver. I also just got a Yamaha DVD-S2700...

Yeah. I'm using Tape Out to PC soundcard and Audacity. Works great, but I'm looking to upgrade the soundcard.

Fleetwood Mac- "Then Play On", thru my new Senn. HD 650. WOW!

Realistic LV-10, just old. They're in a box somewhere.
