When amped, I didn't find them veiled at all. They certainly aren't forward, but that doesn't mean they're veiled. I found the highs to be surprisingly clear after everything I'd read about these phones. I thought they were totally unobtrusive and not etchy/shouty  in any way, but very much...

My HD650s arrived this week and I thought I'd post a few impressions. Firstly, I'd just like to say how incredibly helpful head-fi has been in guiding me in all my headphone purchases. Finding good bang-for-buck kit makes me very happy and so far, my RE-ZEROs, GR07 Mk2, M50s and Maverick Audio...

Thanks for your detailed response! Would you say the 600s have the same speed as the 650s? While I'd agree that the KRKs probably have the same sound signature as the 600s (slightly warm side of neutral from what I've read), I do sometimes EQ in a slightly warmer sound than that which is why I...

  I do enjoy the M50s bass but I've been looking forward to the 'air' of an open backed headphone. The D1 is quite a warm amp, so would the combo with 400i be a better match?   Also (and I hope I don't open a can of worms here), will an aftermarket cable (like toxic silver) open up the HD650...

Hello there,   In a bit of a quandry due to maybe there being too much information out there but none specific to what I'm looking for.   I'm looking to have a family member purchase and bring over a pair of headphones from Europe next month and I'm stuck on deciding what to get. I *was*...

Amon Tobin, Richard James (AFX)  & Tom Jenkinson (Squarepusher) are the Daddies. Thank God for Warp records.   Any Orb fans out there?  

My favourite...     ..and the one I respect the most....  

Aren't cans another term for big, bouncy breasts?

Big Le Creuset and Wusthof fan here. Got the cassarole for our wedding las t year, and have subsequently bought the large nonstick pan and various odds and ends since then. Still want to get the skillet pan for roasting. The quality of their stuff can't be beat. My mom still uses her cassarole...

Sonitus, thank you very, very much for your advice (and great diagram). One last question, are there other alternatives to the HDP for this scenario in the same or lower price range or is it the best bang-for-your-buck product in this category?

Thank you Sonitus. Is the difference in audio quality between LOD to USB and 3.5mm to RCA into the HDP from the Cowon much of a muchness or should I try and go for one over the other?

Anyone?   Quote:    

Hello all,   I've been looking for a 'box' that allows me to hook my tv (via optical) and, when I need it, Cowon J3 (via 3.5mm jack) to my KRK RP8s (via RCAs) in my lounge and the HDP seems to fit the bill for what I'm looking for. I'm also looking to get a pair of HD 650s, which acording to...

Scott Walker 30 Century Man - really cool doccie about the myth of the man. Bowie and others gush about him. Scratch - doccie on the history of turntablism

More of a CSS fan here although BF multiplayer is quite cool.   Anyone excited about this? http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gamehunters/post/2011/08/valve-launching-new-counter-strike-title-in-2012/1

Cool. I'll have a look see. Thanks again.

Thank you ClieOS. Are there any DACs that you could recommend for the task that won't break the bank?

The D6000 only has optical out and headphone. No RCAs. Hence the problem.

Hello fellow Head-fiers,   Please could you help me 'fix' this problem? I recently wall mounted a Samsung tv (d6000) above my fireplace and connected my KRK speakers via headphone jack to RCAs. The sound is infinitely better than the TVs but unfortunately there's a hissing noise coming from...

The Hangover 2 - 4/10   Totally meh. Such a pity after the first one.

Thanks for the reply AlexRoma.   Are you referring to the RE-0 or the RE-ZERO? I have the ZEROs but it seems you're referring to the RE-0s? Either way, you clearly show that the Vsonics offer a decent upgrade. I'd be running them of my J3 without an amp.   I know it's another can of...

So to confirm, are the Vsonics a full upgrade over the Re-Zero?   And if so, how much better are they? 5%? 25%? 100%?   I know it's hard to quantify these things, but please try :)
