Indeed, they're a pair of BM5A Compacts – got them from a friend who's moving to Japan at a very good price. I'm actually quite surprised with how much I'm enjoying them... they're getting a whole lot more playtime than the Elears that I got at about the same time!

After some major simplification of my system, this is how it's looking:  

1) 102.195 2) 109.046 3) 106.502

I'm finally done! Got the amplification the Jamos actually deserve (from 200wpc to 2.000wpc) and added a slightly bigger screen       

  Well, it seems they are worth it in style. Beautiful setup! Very very tasteful.

I'm very interested!   I actually run a headphone review website in Brazil, called MIND THE HEADPHONE, which is about three years old and is currently the largest website about headphones in the country. It is still growing, and now has a daily average of 1.100 visits – a 40% increase over the...

Just to add my 2c to the discussion:   I'm not a cable believer, but I also wanted to add a bit more presence up top and clarity to the Roxannes, and found a portable system that gives me just that (for the price of some cables, BTW, which is one of the reasons I'm not a cable guy).   I've...

  Thanks! :)    It's what I've been doing for a while, because even though I've got two nice stands, the headphones I would like to keep on display are expensive to just leave exposed, I think... so I got them in drawers and the problem's solved!     Well, in actual fact the HD449s were...

Current pictures! Replaced the old iMac with a Mac Pro, the Abrahamsen V6.0 for a Yulong D100 and the JVC A-S5 plus the Dali Lektor 2s for a B&W MM-1 – the latter two for convenience.            As for the headphones on the drawers of happiness not many interesting changes apart from...

  That's a very good point.    But to me this is a very complicated issue. In short, the path from an original musical event to us hearing it in a sound system has, in the middle, the media into which it was recorded. The problem is that we can only control what happens between the media and...

It's incredible to have one of the developers of a headphone that is arguably among the greatest (and most adventurous) ever made here! I hope you feel proud to see so much love for your creation here, Heinz!

That's quite nice! Here's my info:   - Headphone(s) you possess: Audio-Technica W3000ANV Audio-Technica M50 Grado HP1000 JH Audio Roxanne Sennheiser HD800 Sennheiser HD650 Sennheiser Amperior - DAP(s) you possess: iPod Classic (previously owned Sony ZX1, HiFiMAN HM-801 and iBasso DX100)...

Why on earth did Sennheiser go with silver for the HD800? It looks absolutely incredible in black. It's just something else.

  It's white! In the review:  

  Have you read the whole thread? The number of people agreeing with Eke is not small. I'm definitely one of them. I just got my ZX1 and my impressions are pretty similar to his. While I can say that the sound is overall warmer and fuller than that of my iPod Classic, it's really not a large...

  This might well be the nicest room I've ever seen around here... looks amazingly comfortable and inviting! The colours and the lighting are incredible. Congratulations! I really can imagine spending hours and hours there.

  Thank you, Ozias!

It's been a long time since I've seen this thread, so I'm sorry if this has already been discussed: I see from the last picture a different nut, is that the new metal one? Or just a different plastic?

  I see, then.   Note, however, that I never said anything about 256kbps VBR. As I said before in this topic, I find the difference between lossless and anything below 320kbps to be detectable; I can consistently differentiate a 256kbps from a 320kbps or lossless file. But if you're saying...

  Well, in my opinion what we regard as "truth" is a representation of a certain state of reality, so there can be only one if we're talking about a condition of physical things, which is the case here.   Regardless, my question stands – I ask because you may have used a badly encoded mp3 for...
