    You guys mind steering me a bit? I've been on the headphone track for about 10 years and have really figured out what I like. Now I want to try some IEM but am finding the excessive options and no experience with them daunting. I love nuetral, high resolution and a good image. Looking to try...

    want imaging without piercing treble

    I have had the head-fi bug off and on over the years and have used a number of headphones and am still looking for the one. DT770 Pro - WAY too tight of clamp & the headband created a hot spot on top of my head- hated it DT880 Premium - liked it a lot, but was looking for something a little...

    Help me replace my Denon D2000

    This summer I made a big mistake and sold my Denon D2000s.  I had tried multiple headphones including; Beyerdynamic DT880, 770, 990 DT-150, AudioTechnica AD700 that I remember of the top of my head.  I really liked the DT880s but Denon D2000 was by far my favorite and of course it's now...

    DAC needed? If so, options?

    So I'm using an X-fi plantium and beyerdynamic dt 880's.  I just bought an ASL MG Head MKII tube amp off another user since I was told the 880's would benefit from a tube amp.   So far I'm kind of disappointed.  The ASL is probably 10-15% better than my astro mixamp.  Is this because I'm...

    any idea how this would do as a DAC?

    http://emotiva.com/usp1.shtm   I use one of their large amplifiers for my home theater and it is amazing for the money.  Is there any reason why I should look for a different DAC for my headphones in this price range?

    amp repair, difficult?

    So I recently purchased a headphone amp from a fellow member and the unit was very slightly damaged in transit.  The unit is a little older and two of the wires connecting to the balanced power supply came un-attached.  Currently I have out three emails to possible companies to repair the amp...

    so many sound options, my head is spinning...

    So I have a Creative X-Fi platinum that has the front I/O panel.  I also purchased an Astro Mixamp a few months back.  My only concern with sound is for gaming. I like a competitive advantage and I want it to sound as close to my home theater  (via headphones) as possible. Thanks to the great...

    new audiophile, struggling to find my second pair of nice cans

    So unfortunately, I recently found this forum and decided to purchase the AD700's.  I love them!   Naturally, now I'm looking for the next step. :)  I purchased a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770's just to see what a nice pair of closed cans sounds like.  The sound is great.  My problem is...

    sound is there, but need more comfort...

    Just got my astro mixamp and ad700's, they sound great. problem is I do not care for the felt ear pads on the hp's. I find them itchy after a bit and I think I'd rather have a soft leather type. I noticed the Sennheiser HD 448's get good reviews as do the Audio Technica M50's. Will either...
