hd6x0 really need a good desktop amp to reach their full potential. Even a cheap desktop amp will do the job fairly well. unfortunately, pa2v2 just doesn't cut it. And remember that the k701 is a known to be super hard to drive, no way in hell a pa2v2 well be able to bring it to its full...

Anyone in Canada know a place to get HD650's cheap? Every canadian site I've looked at has the hd650s listed for $500-$700 + I don't think J&R ships to canada any help is appreciated

  Anyone else notice Eminem rockin the d5000/d7000 in this brisk ad during the super bowl? Looks like Eminem has good taste Keeping pressing 5 during the vid to get a better look at em

I don't know too much about the p3+, but it is also rollable, and it comes with a crazy amount of opamps/buffers. http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/371427/ibasso-p3-opamp-rolling-thread-let-the-rolling-begin   but remember its discontinued now, so you would be looking at the for sale...

hd555 is not recommended for library use. I still recommend a closed pair for situations like that. You won't find that from sennheiser. Look elsewhere

im gonna miss that weird ironstone/marble finish...

Quote: there aren't really many popular models other than the m50s. The Ad2000 deserve some respect, although i haven't heard them, from what i've read they can compete with the big boys

the k1000s and the stigmas, or any other similar electrostat makes you look like you have dumbo ears.

those look identical to mine... although mine are the older blue box version which have a tad more bass, while the white box version (the one you have) is more neutral and balanced. It could just be that the m50 isn't the right headphone for you, as everyone has different ears.

Quote: yes it comes with all the necessary parts. the only thing you supply are the two 9volt batteries, the altoids tin, and the interconnect cable

did you make sure the you inserted the opamp the right way? the side of the opamp with pin 1 (denoted with a dot) goes on the notch side of the ic socket. You could have shorted the opamp by inserting it the wrong way.

Forgot to mention the P4 is rollable, so you can adjust the sound to your tastes

Ibasso does come to mind in the $200 price range, but you could also get the fiio e7 which goes for $100 which is a steal. if you're stuck on ibasso, look into the d4 mamba instead of the boa, the mamba price tag was lowered to $200 due to the release of it's bigger brother the D6. If you only...

http://tangentsoft.net/audio/cmoy-tutorial/ a step by step tutorial on how to make a simple cmoy from a radioshack pcb. very detailed and will cover pretty much everything you need to know. funny thing is i googled cmoy... this was the first result sometimes searching does help

if you have a little bit more dough to spend, you can get the m50, as suggested above.... you could also get the shure srh-440 which is $100. Its a bit neutral though so you might find it boring, Grado sr60i also looks good.   I wouldn't stick with sennheiser, imo they have nothing worth...

Large increase in amount of beats in my highschool (from christmas i assume) Funny thing is, These people always have them on their necks, but I haven't seen one person actually listening to their pair. I even saw a person wearing the beats 'pros' around his neck... with the cable detached...

oops double post
