Hey folks just wondering would the burn in time be the same for earbuds as it would for full size headphones... For instance is the burn-in for the Senn MX500 the same as the HD600 ? I've heard that the HD600 could take 50 hours... How long do earbuds take to burn-in or do they even requiring...

Ok, I've been hearing Marantz is a warm sounding CD Player and it could go good together with my Yamaha Interested in : FIRST CHOICE: Marantz CC3000 or Marantz CC4000 (The 3000 is getting better reviews and is about $150 cheaper) SECOND CHOICE: Yamaha CDC-775 (This gets good reviews and...

Ok for those who are wondering I have a cheap pioneer cd player... I don't know whether it's warm sounding or not... If the Yamaha Receivers are known to be a little bright then my system seems to sound neutral.

Why is my Amp and/or Speakers like a string... I didn't think it was too bad kind of like Mid-Fi.. I think a $2K linn would be a huge step-up but I wouldn't be using it to it's full potential so It's probably not worth it.

Thanks for the suggestions folks --- also BoardC3.. Yes very true but I consider my amp and speakers to be no more than Mid-Fi and thought that if a had REALLY high quality amp and speakers that going from a $100 Sony to $600 Nakamichi would make a HUGE difference... But with my system I was...

In my system with Yamaha Stereo 2 channel receiver (Model :RX-396) 50x2 Min. Watts and Mission 701 speakers will it make a noticeable difference between a $79 CD Player and a $1000 CD Player in my system ? Thanks

Ok, what CD Player fits my system the best for sound quality (NOTE: CD Player must be under $500 U.S.) I have a Yamaha RX396 Receiver (50 Min. Watts x 2) and my Headphones are Sennheiser HD590 I was debated on getting the Yamaha CDC-775 or the Sony SCD-CE775.. Any other suggestions ...

Well, I've decided I'm definitely going to upgrade my source sometime.. I'm eyeing the Yamaha CDC775 (5 disc changer) but it's around $300 I think... I don't want to go over $500 U.S. Is there anything better for a 5 disc changer than the Yamaha CDC775 that is under $500.

Right now I have a Yamaha RX396 Receiver (50x2 Min. Watts) I have my headphones plugged into that running a $129 Pioneer 25 disc changer... If I upgrade to a $500 Yamaha 5-Disc Changer will I hear a difference in sound quality ? Not going to get a $2000 LINN CD Player but how much of a...

Nevermind, Kelly answered my queston in another thread.

A little off-topic but are SACD's a lot better sounding than regular CD's ?

Ok, example here how important is the source in getting quality sound to your headphones... For instance ignoring the prices and just looking at the CD Players would it make a huge difference in whether a set of HD600's is hooked up to a $79 RCA 5 disc changer or a $2000 LINN CD Player. (Note...

Hi David, I can't really comment on the HD495's as I don't have them or heard them.. I do own the HD590's I am happy with them.. The only disadvantage of my HD590's is they leak a lot of sound.. So I don't recommend you get them if you are going to play in public.. If you are listening in a...

So I could play a set of headphones for 10000 hours and they will sound the same as if I played them after 100 hours ??? I know brand new headphones sound slightly different than a pair that had a 100 hours on them. I thought if you were to play headphones for 24 hours a day for 3 years...

Smash Mouth - Walking on the sun Offspring - Original Prankster Beastie Boys - Slow Ride For Bass: The part right after the Solo in AC/DC's Sin City just crank it up then you hear an awesome Bass Riff then after that with Bon yelling "FINGER'S FREDDY" man that's a cool part.

Ok I suppose if you have a really good amp and source you can tell a difference in sound but I've had the HD-580's (Which I heard two weeks ago for the last time so I can't do a direct comparison switching back and forth) But to me with my Mid-Fi source and amp (Yamaha Receiver and Yamaha CD...

Hey all just got the HD-590... Pretty good sound so far even before break-in but MY OH MY do they ever leak sound... 2x as much as the HD-580 I'd say. The are louder outside the phones then when you are hearing them unless my pair is screwed up don't know. Anything I can do about this ?

Might be a stupid question but, What's A/B mean ?

WIll it be hard on my headphones if I crank the bass and treble onto my receiver at full rather than flat. FULL BASS and FULL TREBLE listening at Moderate to Moderate-High volume is this slightly hard on the headphone drivers ? THanks

If a have a pair of headphones that have a 6' cord if I buy a separate extension cord for my headphones just say a 10' and add it to my 6' cord to make 16' Does that degrade sound even slightly or will the sound be 100% with a extension or without ? Thanks

What's PM mean ?

i wasn't clear.. my mistake. I am exchanging them but for the HD590's instead.

Well after 2 weeks of regular use my HD 580's one side I get no sound at all.. I suspect after changing the wires that it is a cable problem.. Note: I never even touch the cables (i.e. moved them in or out during the 2 weeks I had them) I pad $200 for these and now I get sound out of one ear I...

When worn... In your opinion which headphones leak more sound the Sennheiser HD580 or the Sennheiser HD590 ??? Thanks

Where do you folks keep your bass and treble and your receiver when using headphones .... If Bass goes from 0-10 and treble 0-10... Does leaving it on 5 and 5 seem logical... What reason would there be to have it different... Would 10 and 10 be hard on the headphones or would they take it in the...
