I've done a little research, thanks. So basically the choice is between clear 1.7 mm duel lock with a life cycle of between 50 and 100 cycles.  Or the black thats about 5mm and 1000 cycles. and for me the thick stuff is 100% cheaper.  

Does anyone know how many e12s went out in the first batch. We must be getting to the point where 25% have been resold (you are a fickle lot)   ps I bought mine second hand so I could specifically get the original version   I think it was in this thread that someone mentioned using...

Oh dear, they aren't lookers.  I made some wood cups last weekend so I can afford to play with the cups but I don't think it would make sense to go threw the cups as I think it would get in the way of the headband. The only place I can think of to go threw is in between the pads and the frame at...

My denon d2000 were my first serious headphones but since buying them I have bought the fostex t50rp and Bose qc15 which have just one cable to the left earcup.   I prefer this arrangement and was wondering if anyone had any information about it being done before, or if anyone had any ideas...

Hold on to your hats, you are gonna love this question.   can I use it to power Bose q15 a little louder. I know the Bose has its own inbuilt amp and I don't want to blow it up.

Am I missing something? why are Canadians buying from Germany instead of USA. Colourware charges $1500 Meier audio charges nearer $1576 and I'm assuming you have to pay some sort of tax either way. By the way those matt black 800's make my wallet grown.

Have you looked at the incremental mods thread, BMF has just commented on the alpha dogs

I really think you should, but that may be because I want to here it compared to its sisters

If we use that argument, does that mean the th900 is twice as good as the th600 and 20 times better than a fostex t50rp. I can understand people not wanting to compare the 600 to the 900 but to me it's the first headphone it should be compared to. The denon dxxx were rightly compared to each...

Thanks for the mention of the c5 (that give me some reading to do) With the bass boost looking more unlikely to be useful the c5 might be an option. As for delivery dates, it looks like the c5 gets it official release first, at least worldwide.

It would be really interesting to see whats actually inside both the th600 and 900. If the 600 sounded nearly as good, fostex would have to adjust (sabatarge) the cheaper model so as not to affect the desirability of he 900. I really like the look of these. If we are on the subject of M cars...

I thought micca was an American store, in my expieriance it does not take more than a week to reply to an email. James fiio managed it a lot quicker For the record, i have no problem with fiio, I found his communications to be punctual and very professional even over CNY when they were on holiday.

They don't seem to care about profits. They don't even reply to my email.

Anyone going to comment on the bass boost remark? I think what's happened is a couple of people who don't own the amp complained about the lack of boost so it has been changed. From what I have read, everyone who has this amp likes the current bass boost and does not want it changed. I've...

Does anyone know the output impedance for the amp section? Probably should have found out two years ago when I bought it. :D

Sorry to bring up bass boost again, everything that I have read by people that own it has been positive and now it is being changed. Am I right in thinking that the new setup is likely to sound flabby compared to the original. I like bass to be impactful and by looking at the new graph it has...

Has the m8 got certification from apple yet?

Since the case is lazer etched after anodising, does the bare aluminium oxidise or is a coating applied after?

I've recently started looking at the sunrise 2 amp. And have seen mention of tube rolling. What is the science behind this. Does it make a difference to sound or is it as pointless as changing cables? Cheers

I've been playing around with variations of dmv#3 for a while and have been using masking tape to assemble it between mods. Tonight I have put the screws in and I have lost something. It does not seem as vibrant. Has anyone else encountered this. Buy the way It was fairly tight and there were no...

And as an aside, we don't need the LEDs to go threw a flashing sequence when it is turned on. Is it just me that thinks that's a pointless gimmick. It's not a ghetto blaster or a after market car stereo.

Maybe I should of said bright led's I have a clock radio that's really bright even in its lowest setting so I leave it face down. I know it's turned on because I plugged it in. I assume the hifi m8 has an on/off switch.

Duct tape is your friend. But I wish manufacturers were not obsessed by led's

I prefer inset, and it stands out more.

I use tesa double sided at work and I find it horrific to remove, I would not want that on my driver. I just ordered some from the states for delivery to the uk. surprisingly cost effective.
