Hi, guys. This started as a post over in the DT-1770 discussion thread but I'm moving it here out of respect for that thread and not to hijack it too much.   So here's the story. Right away when I got the DT1770's I noticed that these cans had potential, the midrange was nice and smooth...

    TwoEars HD800 to HD650 Sound Signature Conversion (incl. Dolby Headphone)                        (I can almost guarantee you've never heard your HD800's quite like this before!!!)                                   Download Link...

Name the albums in your collection with the absolute best mastering, no hiss, pitch black background etc.   Part of having a high-end rig with the HD800 is that it's pretty darn amazing when you have good recordings! But other times you just shake your head and think "why didn't the recording...

Hegel HD25? Anyone heard it?   Ugly little black box but seems like a giant slayer:   http://www.ultraaudio.com/index.php/equipment-menu/339-hegel-music-systems-hd25-digital-to-analog-converter  ...

Hi,   Looking for a really good pair of In-Ears!   What I'm looking for:     1. Noise-isolating (like shure, not noise-canceling)   2. Durable since I tend to keep them in my soft laptop bag and not in a special case or anything.   3. small-ish, comfortable and easy to put in (I'm not...

Hi,   was thinking about setting up a spotify streaming system for my dad as a christmas gift.   Was thinking about the Sonos Connect - anyone tried it?   He has internet, a stereo and an iphone already so I believe all that's needed is the Sonos and a spotify account and we should...

While far from an expert I still know which part of the soldering iron to hold on to - so I thought I'd make myself a balanced cable for my HD800s to with my Phoenix balanced amp.   I'm sure this has been discussed before but could someone be so kind as to point me in the right direction of...

This is pretty personal, or at least it can be.   The Question Is Simple: ################   What made you a Head-Fier?   What made you listen to what you listen to? What made you buy what you bought?   What was the Game-Changer?   It is not a closed topic - go ahead and...

So,   I know how to solder, I know how to use a multimeter, I know how to tell plus from minus, I know how to heat-shrink...   Now - where can I get my mittens on some nice pure stranded silver wire in Europe?   Where do you guys get your stuff? Any ideas?   It would be for a...

My Theory on Balanced vs Single Ended for High/Low Impedance Headphones ####################################################     Edit & Disclaimer: This post contains errors that shows that I'm no EE, what follows is a discussion on the topic.     Basically the idea goes like this...

Hello Fellow Head-Fiers,   Been a while since I posted in the forums but I'm still very much into headphones and enjoying music almost daily.   For the past year or so I've been very much in love with my current setup which is as follows:   DAC: Anedio D1 with the saber chip - love...

I'm looking for a new headphone amp, so I took the liberty of PM:ing our fellow inmate Fried Reim who is the CEO of lake people and ask him if the much rumored Violectric v282 is coming out anytime soon. This is the reply I got:   Quote:   So it seems they have no less than 3 new amps...

Hi guys,   new on the forum here and very impressed with the amount of knowledge you guys seem to have!   My "Head-Fi career" has been a long time coming but my interest has been steadily growing, it started with dedicated computer sound cards, then Sennheiser HD570 followed by a pair of...
