Thanks - I'll do that!

Does anybody know if it's possible to use the realiser for mixing, or would the changes applied when doing so distort the virtual effect? Considering that many changes made when mixing has an effect on phase, this might be a problem, but at the same time, if that was the case then the...

dweaver, I would be very interested in a comparison between the k430 and the v-jays. I own the v-jays and consider them to be a very good open portable if you can get them below 50 dollars (the only downgrade being that they are a tad bright). I'm considering the k430 as a closed alternative for...

Let me hear what you think of it :)   I don't think I'll get it fixed in time before I'll leave. Maybe later...

  Thank's - finally a comment :) Good to hear someone is comfident glue will work - Ill try that one or an equivalent option.   Regarding the sound, they have been broken for a few years now, so it's been quite a long time since I heard them. I remember that I preferred them to my...

Bump  

Yeah, it seems to have been released. Apart from Sweden they also have resellers in Germany, Holland, Italy, and Hong Kong. Seems to be quite the heavyweight amp  

Thought I'd update this for those who might stumble across it in the future. I never got to buy the EAR 90 - the seller decided to keep it just as the deal was being closed. It's unfortunate as I was really looking forward to it, but since then I found a good deal for a Cute Beyond (about 85...

Thought I would close this thread - I've since then bought a Cute Beyond as my first amp. Maybe I'll get the 01v anyway for mixing and PA work, but that's something for another forum.

Yeah, I thought as much, but I've seen it elsewhere too, so I was beginning to wonder.   Anyway, the seller came back to me and corrected it - it was the 595.

I stumbled across an ad for these, and can't seem to find any information on them. Does anyone know if they even exist, or is it a mistake by the owner?

I don't think source is the villain - as I said, I also tried it on a high-quality CD-player, and with SACD - didn't make a difference (could be that the CD-players output has a good amplifier though that diminishes the differences).   Anyway, I went back to the store yesterday and made a...

To follow up my reply on the HD600 and the EAR 90, I went back to the store yesterday to try the amp with some other headphones. I tried the HD650, 595, 598, the AKG k701, and for fun, the porta pro I carry around these days. It was a quite quick test over an hour, so I simply switched between...

I forgot two other factors that of course could contribute - that I either don't have very good or "trained" ears, or that I don't know what to listen for.

I just discovered this device a few days ago, and find the possible uses for it amazing - even more so if it becomes more readily available in the future.   Has anyone tried it with both closed and open cans to see if there is a difference?   I was wondering, since it effectively makes...

Well, I didn't buy one - I tried one out at an audio store, the reason being I could get a very good deal for one. My impressions were made after listening to it and comparing it with unamped during a period of about two hours. I'm still considering it since I could get it relatively cheap, and...

So, I tried the rca model yesterday - unfortunately they didn't have the balanced model out for testing. I tried it with the HD600, and used both a 10 000 dollar source and my MP3-player. I switched between using the headphone output on the source, and the amp.   The results were a bit...

Just found this thread, and must say I too was a bit unsatisfied when I tried a HD600 with an amp yesterday. The amp was a Harmony Design EAR 90, rca model, and I used both a 10 000 dollar CD-player and my low-budget MP3-player as a source. Now, I've listened to very few amps, but it didn't...

Maybe it did come out first, but in that case the balanced one seems to have come out not far behind it.   I heard you could use an unbalanced signal with the balanced amp, and that it would then function like the unbalanced one, but I thought the point of using a phase splitter was to...

So, some more info:   I sent a mail to the distributors of Beyerdynamics in my country, but haven't heard back from them. I didn't think I would, but you never can know for sure.   I asked a friend who had some experience with using glue on different things, and he said that a strong one...

Well, according to their website they always made both the balanced and unbalanced from the start, and have made improvements on both (but the balanced a bit more so). Heres a translation from the versions history:   2010-05: The balanced version gets a better amplifying stage. 2010-02: New...

nikongod - I'm fully with you that many albums have room reverb on them, and that reverb on speakers isn't the same as the recorded effect from a source. Maybe I'm missing your point, but what I was after was the fact that when mixing, the reverb of the studio that the mix is done in, even if...

Things just got slightly more complicated - a second (!) used EAR 90 just showed up, this time the unbalanced one and probably a newer version, for about 310 dollars (not counting shipping). For comparison, it costs 600 new. This more or less meets my original demand, but now I got curious if...

Since many high-end headphones and amps are constructed to get more control over the speakers, and thereby reduce it's own induced reverberation, I don't find it hard to believe that many recordings sound dry (I very seldom hear music from ordinary speakers, so I don't really know what I'm...

I don't know if this is the correct place to post this, so correct me if I'm wrong.   Music is mixed for being played through speakers in a room, and studios therefore try to mimic this. One of it's biggest implications is that a room adds to reverberation, as the music reflects from walls...
