Any other VSD3S users with Comply tips?  I have some T-400s, but the bore diameter is too large.  They do fit onto the nozzle snugly, but they fully seat rather than seating around the notch like the stock foams.  The T-400s seated that way don't penetrate deeply enough for my ear canals to get...

Maybe not the bass you were looking for, but here is some solid bass.  

Colin Stetson is awesome but a lot of people will think this is weird. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9YJM2GCvk8&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I currently own the HiFiMan HE-400, Denon D2000, and Grado SR225i (just got the HE-400s, owned the others for 1.5+ years).   From the sound you describe, the best match might be the SR225i.  The HE-400s are the darkest of the three, though personally I think they sound fantastic with the...

Quote:   I've only had mine for a few days, but they sounded great when I listened to Sonny Rollins' The Bridge earlier tonight.   I highly advise getting a crossfeed plugin for this type of music for headphones, though.  The mastering on some of these albums will often have the main...

I'd definitely do this, but not just for comfort assessment. I find that when I A/B headphones rapidly, it is too easy to focus in what is "missing" from a headphone rather than how nice it sounds as a whole. As an example, moving from something like the HD650 vs many other cans, attributes like...

I finally got my HE-400s in the other day.  I let my EF1 warm up while I got them out of the packaging.  The Canare cable they come with is pretty solid; I prefer something simple and easily replaceable.  The cups came "out of alignment" as seen in previous pics, which is entirely a non-issue...

I know you all are worried, but I just checked and it is still In Transit. 

Phew.    

Augh, my HE-400s are stuck in Taiwan. :[

Silver and brown look good together.  I don't see the problem.   I guess you can't please everyone.  Maybe they'll release a black edition. :)

The D7000 is silver and brown.

I test with a bunch of stuff, but I have an old tradition of going to the first two Boston albums first.   Here's a few concatenated sample songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E98nCeCIpzo&hd=1   Peace of Mind, 00:00 - 05:03 Opens with acoustic guitar and tambourine, then rich...

I had some good ideas of what she might be listening to, and put them together here: http://shut-in.ytmnd.com/

I love my D2000s, but if you are going to be throwing them in a backpack and carrying them around a lot, I would look for something else.  These things are for home use.  The build quality is fine, but they don't have a rugged design for portability.  If you're very worried about isolation at...

Thanks, I appreciate your perspective.

Is there a difference in sound, volume, or both between the headphone jack and the RCA output?  I just ordered my first dedicated headphone amp, but my DAC is the uDAC-2 HP ($99 no RCA jacks version).  Would I be missing much or causing problems by feeding the new amp through the uDAC-2's...
