Okay, I've been working with this problem before, but I seem to keep ending here; so I as you, if you have an explaination to my trouble. The "problem" is that for some reason I can barely hear the difference between the following two "rigs" no matter what I, for the life of me, I can't hear any...

Hey there, I'm trying to find some high end headphone cable and LOD producers in EU, but to no avail. I'm talking about people like Cardas, ALO, Moon audio, Norse Audio, DHC and so on. Even a european retailer would do, for the sake of faster shipping and no customs fees etc.   Does anyone...

Hey there, I'm having some serious trouble with my SR-71B. For some time I've been noticing a lot of pot noise between 10 and 3 o' clock with my low impedance headphones. Now today I got my new pair of Beyerdynamic T1's which are the first 600Ohm headphones I've used with it. My first intuition...

Alright, so I'm about to create a monster, that will wreak havoc upon the local Beats fiends at my school and anywhere else I come. I'm making myself a portable rig with a Beyerdynamic T1 as its center piece. I want it to scream Summit-fi as loudly as it can with the best portable aplification...

Hey there, I have so far accounted for 3 or 4 packages that have not arrived at their destinations, or arrived with fully or partially missing contents.  And I'm kinda struggling to make up my mind about what to do about it. On one hand i feel that (in the cases where its my packages or i'm...

Hey there, I had a K1000 some months ago, and I'm considering getting a pair again. But I got wondering: Whats all the fuss about them being hard to drive, needing a speaker amp or a high power balanced amp?  I mean when i got them, i just plugged them into my receivers jack, and voila - great...

Hi there, i am considering embarking on a huge project, of making a top to bottom 100% custom headphone out of raw aluminum and brass, but i just want to have an idea of what the sound results might be first. I expect to use a Denon D7000 as base model and use its drivers. I hope to replicate...

So, are there any of you out there? I know only a couple of people in the world who have owned these and even fewer who kept them. I recently got mine, and it surprises me that these haven't caught on. The build quality is top notch, the sound quality when placed right, is right up there with...

Hi, I'm looking for a headphone for school/commuting use, and seeing the full metal construction of the T1 made me wonder if that might be my savior? My big worry is how much sound it leaks, because i don't like irritating people around me (I't pisses me off when others use open cans in public...

Right, so here is the princip. What do you prefer and why? But on the following terms: -Ignore power output (Imagine you hook a can that is only 35 ohm, or but amps just have equal power output) -Ignore price and size  -Only sound matters, what difference does it really make?   So, is...

Hey there, since it seems no one has really posted anything on the subject i thought I would start a thread, and hopefully add my impressions as soon as i get mine.   But basically, please tell if you tried it, how it sounded and what it did for the TPs compared to SE :)  

I've very quickly gotten to the point where i currently own a balanced portable amp for no apparent reason. None of my headphones benefit from it, in a audible manner, but even so i can't get myself to rid of the amp even though i could put the money to better use getting a SE amp and some other...

Ok, here is something i though would be a no-brainer...Which it almost is,, but now i thought it would be...David vs. Goliath:  Goliath is represented by the following setup: Optical input to a Cambridge DacMagic Desktop dac, which then feeds 24bit/192 into a Argon HA2 tube/ss hybrid. David...

Hi, after lurking the forums i found it to be the general consensus that Tube amps and Denon D7000 won't go together...Why? I just tried out the gorgeous Argon HA 2 (The only tube amp my local retailer had) with them, and it sounded pretty darn amazing to me... It was my first experience with...

Hi there, this may get people raving but I have a bold statement that may burst some bubbles. I have a both iPod Classic and a iPhone and currently own a Fiio E11, a iBasso PB2/DB2 setup and have had others prior to these - Now for the thing that bugs me: The reason i keep switching is that i...

Hello there fellow Head-Fi'ers! I am a blacksmith and I have long been feddeling with stupid IEMs underneath my hearing guar to be able to listen to music while i work, but today I just couldnt handle it anymore and thought to myself that i had to be able to come up with a better solution! So i...

Hey there fellow headfiers, I am currently with no luck so far, trying to find a good amp in black and red colors, doesn't really matter wether its stationary or portable. It's for a set of custom made grados in the same colors. (I'm such a sucker for good cosmetics on a rig)...So, does anyone...

Hi there, I'm about to have my first real high end headphone handmade. Its driver is a RS1 but i want it to look like a GS/PS1000i shape-wise but neither i or the guy who will make them knows the dimensions of their cups. Could anyone please try measure your PS/GS1000i and post the measurements...

Hello there fellow DIY-artists! As many of you probably know, back in the day drivers in headphones weren't capable of reproducing the entire frequency spectrum, so the crossover filter was invented, and used in headphones such as the well known Pioneer SE505. But by our standards today those...

Hey there, i just bought the full quality version of David Chesky's album which is 8467kbps, 24bit, 176k samplerate and when i check it in iTunes to transfer it to my ipod classic or iphone4 nothing happens. Or well, it adds 0,03gb to the audio but the actual music doesnt appear on the ipod...

I have been looking to buy a tube amplifier lately, and have seen a "more is better" tendency. And i started wondering, what is the benefit of having more tubes on an amplifier? For example going from a model with 2, to a model with 6 tubes? I know each type of tube affects the sound greatly...

Hey there, when i try to change my avatar, i just get a message saying that a temporary error has occurred, And i should try again...Which obviously doesn't help. Any ideas?  

Hey there, does anyone know what the diameter of the drivers in these and if they would be a good contender for replacing the drivers in a pair of vintage Pioneer SE L40? And if you have some other ideas for good drivers around 38mm-40mm feel free to leave it :)  

 I've been wanting to get a pair of these old phones for quite a while now, but also to switch the drivers with some new ones. I just cant find any info on the diameter of the drivers in the SE L40 which i obviously need to know to find new ones. I thought of replacing them with the drivers from...

Hey there fellow headfiers, I'm possibly going to jump into a fun experience and would like to consult with some pro's as i just do this as a hobby, but have never been educated in the matter.  Im going to attempt to build a pair of orthodynamic headphones from scratch (kind of). Heres my list...
