I am glad my appendage is not that small. That being, said I do worry that the rotating mechanism might break if I detach and reattach the cable frequently. The 3m cable is coiled around my the leg of my table for optimal length, so it cannot be removed and carried around easily (aside from it...

I recently purchased a shorter replacement cable for my ATH-R70x for use around the house. I plan on using the stock 3m cable at my desk. How durable are the recessed connectors on the ATH-R40x? Do they tolerate frequent ejections and insertions?

They were on an EU tour until recently. I myself saw them in France. Definitely a very unique experience.

Thanks for the highly detailed write-up. Do you think the 6xx is less detailed than the R70x? I have read and heard on multiple occasions that the 6xx is more detailed than the R70x.

Thanks for the opinion. I also doubt the other two are substantially better. My next upgrade will hopefully be something more for dedicated listening. How so? Just curious.

I unfortunately have not had the opportunity to try the HD600 myself. I was hesitant about Sundara due to bad experiences with Hifiman QC. I also got the ATH-R70x for longer sessions and desktop use. For that it's lack of technical chops might actually be an upside. That being said, do you...

Lucky that you were able to go to a GY!BE concert with your son. Must have been a very nice father-son experience. I have found it difficult to take people, because it's just not the most 'easily digestible' bands. I also think speed and layering might be helpful. I had the chance to briefly...

Welcome to the Godspeed You! Black Emperor Appreciation Thread You likely would not have found your way here without knowing about Godspeed You! Black Emperor in the first place. But by way of summary, Godspeed You! Black Emperor (also known as GY!BE or simply Godspeed) are a Post-Rock and...

What is that neat notebook stand?

Is there a broad consensus on whether the HD600 (or Sundara) are worthwhile side grades or one should rather use the money towards a proper upgrade toward the next tier of headphones? A review on headphones.com states that [...] all three headphones are very good for the price. Though I may...

My first post in literally years, so I might be a bit rusty. Finally received my very own ATH-R70x. It is a headphone I have been eyeing for so long I do not even remember whether I have ever heard it before (I might or might not have heard it years ago at Audio-Technica's old showroom in...

  I find this intriguing. One of the few cases I have seen where the headphones themselves feel vastly out of proportion from the rest of the chain.

  Just don't forget to format it to FAT32.       According to my knowledge the AK100 is only a USB DAC (and not, as you might have thought, a USB DAC/AMP). You have to connect an actual additional AMP to the AK100 to make it produce sound.

  I wanted to ask the same thing. In terms of output power and driving versatility. I would be pairing it with a output impedance modded AK100.   Thanks.

  Thanks for your input. What IEMs (and gear) have you been using? What are your impressions with it so far?

  Thanks, mate. This is much more information than I would have expected.   I have been in this hobby for quite a while, but was never compelled to go for a 'proper' home audiophile system, mainly because I am mostly on the move.  But I am about to purchase an ATH-R70x, which at 470 Ohm is...

Hello everyone. I am looking to a new headphone amp in future and the RNHP is among my considerations, alongside: Cavalli Liquid Carbon Schiit Jotunheim Chord Mojo (or it first and then supplement it  later with the RNHP/Liquid Carbon as amps)   Although I have seen some of these amps...

Does anybody here have experience with the Neve Design RNHP headphone amplifier? Generally and with the ATH-R70x?   How does it compare with other amps like the  Chord Mojo Schiit Jotunheim Cavalli Audio Liquid Carbon   Thanks everyone.

Hey everyone.   In terms of home rig, mine has hardly developed (due to largely being on-the-go). My main home headphone have largely been different iterations of Grados (now the Grado SR325is). While I do love them, they have simply not been able to adapt to my evolving musical preferences...

Hey everyone, Not wanting to interrupt the music exchange here. But i would be interested to know whether there are any ATH-R70x users among us. How do they play with post-rock, shoegaze-genres? I have heard them before, I just would be interested in some alternate opinions. Also while I am...

  Well this is very disappointing. I was seriously considering picking one up used. Both for its sound and its supposed rigidness (for outdoor activities).    But seeing how inconsistently Fender seems to uphold its promise of 'lifelong' warranty. I don't think i will be doing so any time...

Thanks.   Anything so far? This cannot be that hard for them!

any news?

Today, I would like to contribute a book, which is very close to my heart and has (intellectually and practically) changed my life in many ways:     This book, written by Imperial College London professor David Nutt, explores from a purely scientific view the psychopharmacological and...
