I am thinking about getting a Cardas or a Zu cable for my HD650, but was wondering why the cables were so expensive. And I thought, who better to educate me why than you DIY guys? Where does all the value for the Cardas come? What makes it worth hundreds more than the stock HD650 cable? How much...

Last night, I put my macbook pro to sleep with my HD650s plugged in. This morning, I booted up my laptop with the HD650s plugged in, and for some reason, no sound is coming out of the right earpiece. I checked on other audio devices around the house and the right ear is silent on those as well...

I'm upgrading from my PC to a Macbook Pro. That also means I'm going to be going from my 0404 to whatever sound chip the Macbook Pro uses. My question is, will there be a noticeable step down in quality or not? I'm using a HD650 + Headsave amp.

I'm trying to install a 0404 I recently purchased, and am having serious problems. The EMU card is replacing an old SBLive. I removed my SBLive via Add/Remove Programs, restarted, and inserted the installation disc. (A quick note - the installataion disc has the 1820 and 1820M logos on it, not...

my HD650's paint is chipping like crazy. Who here has tried to scrape it all off? I'm thinking a matte black finish would look good on the Senns.

Where can I purchase this cable in Canada? http://www.emu.com/products/product....&product=13342 I would prefer if it had a male 1/8" plug instead of a female one on the end, though.

Well I recently purchased a 0404. Will I notice a big difference in sound quality from my old Sound Blaster Live 5.1, and if so, in which parts of the sound? Or is the sound difference between the two cards negligble? I'm running a HD650 with a custom amp designed by norm.

Which would you choose to put in your amplifier? This is for a Senn HD650, I have a different amp for my grados.

I currently am looking into upgrades for my HD650. Here are the options i'm looking at: A Zu Mobius A new amplifier (I'm on a Headsave Home-vibe right now) A new soundcard (I'm on a SBLive! right now) Which upgrade would benefit me the most?

I'm looking for an earbud headphone with the following requirements: White or light grey (it's for an iPod) isolation - the outside world can't hear your music and you can't hear the outside world cord has to be portable length bright presentation, but not too bright. Decent bass but mids are...

Or should I sell it and get something more expensve?

I'm looking for am amp for my HD650 between $180 and $280. I have access to a Home-vibe, but I could sell it and get a Rega Ear or perhaps a Gilmore Lite. Which would provide me with the better sound for my HD650s?

Well I finally have enough cash for the Headsave Home-vibe and the HD595. But looking at it, I don't know if I should wait and splurge on the HD650. I mean, everyone says it's the "best headphone on earth", and the HD595 just isn't that. These questions are making me go crazy right now...

What's a good, decent, cheap headphone amp for ~$50? Will be using it on my SR60. Doesn't HAVE to be portable. Thanks.

Huh. I've got a problem with my SR60s. On the left earpiece, I think there's something stuck there or something's broken. On frequencies 20-8000hz or so I can hear a filamental flapping, basically a vibration only in the left driver, like something is stuck there on the driver and...

So I'm thinking about ditching my Soundblaster Live and going with this popular AV-710. I'm using a Grado SR-60 and am not using an amp. Will there be a significant difference? And if so, why?

I'm a bit confused. I'm hearing in many places that cutting a nickel-sized hole in my Grado SR60s' ear pads will give me better performance when sticking these modded pads on other Grado headphones. People always say "take the Grado SR60 pads, cut a hole in them, and stick them on an RS-1."...
