When musicians are brought into the discussion, the whole argument gets twisted. Tube amps work really great for individual instruments, but I haven't heard of anyone actually using them for an entire band at once, i.e. a PA system. That's insanity. You often want the guitar to have that timbre...

It's really not my friend. Those searches are my enemy. All of the prices are removed after a sale. The only prices I could find were people selling the cables with headphones.

How much do the popular Sennheiser HD600 replacement cables sell for used, i.e. Equinox, Mobius, Cardas, and the Moon Audio cables? I've found that their advertised prices are often higher than the headphones themselves, but I don't see anyone actually selling the used cables for that much. For...

I had no idea how difficult it would be to hold that camera and show what I was doing at the same time. Now I feel sorry for all those badly shot videos on Youtube that get lousy ratings!    The description describes what I'm doing throughout the video. That's 0 vs -100dB (negative 100) in...

A while back, I bought a La Figaro 339. The left and right channels were reversed, and I requested a refund. After offering to repair the amp (I declined), I promptly received return instructions.   La Figaro's excellent customer service is another reason to buy with confidence.

I have read that different versions of the HD600 and HD650 exist. One type has silver drivers, one doesn't, one has a silver screen, one doesn't. Does anyone have a full, specific list of versions? If not, let's make one!

I don't mean to revive a dead thread, but one more question.   If the Objective2 is so deadly accurate, what do the other expensive amps like the CEntrance DACmini have for the extra money? Is it really only coloration and bragging rights?

A little late, but try Sinegen. I use it for all of my audio testing needs. http://www.tucows.com/preview/502787

I searched. When I search, all I find is a bunch of idiotic posts about how the OP should search. Oh look, we're continuing the tradition.   edit- But thanks to those who actually gave an answer.

Why do people edit the price of an item that has been sold to "$old"? It's really annoying when I want to see how much something is selling for. Is it ok to ask the seller how much they sold the item for?

I've read around a little bit, and I saw one thread that was really hating on the CEntrance Mini's amp. They're saying that it's just a DAC with an amp built into the side of it. I've also heard that it doesn't have the power to drive high impedance headphones, like the Sennheiser HD650 for...

Yay replies! It's been a busy day, but now that I'm at work, I have some time to waste on the internet.   I'm looking at the CEntrance DACmini as an option. From the impressions I've read so far, it looks like a good buy. I wasn't really thinking of an integrated amp/DAC, but I'm in the...

I'm returning it; thanks for the advice guys! I'm looking for a new amp now.   http://www.head-fi.org/t/574621/help-me-find-a-realistic-amp-for-800-or-less

I'm returning my defective La Figaro 339, and I'm looking for a new amp.     I listen to all music. If I don't listen to it, I want to find it and listen to it. I'm currently using a Fiio E7 as a dedicated DAC, with Sennheiser HD650s. However, I plan to upgrade both soon...

I bought the XM6, fully loaded with extras. He even gave me a red version at my request. It sounded great, but the channels were imbalanced. I think the left was louder than the right. I sent him an email, and I didn't hear back. I emailed again three days later, still nothing. A week later, I...

It was connected with the wrong side? I have the E7 and L7, and I can't figure out what you mean. I can only fit the L7 into the E7 in one way. I suppose if you put it in backward, you might break the port, but you'd really have to jam it in there.   I also find it interesting that you get...

One channel isn't more noisy, per se. I just have to turn the left channel up more than the right to get the same volume. If I return this, it will be my second consecutive return due to (partially) channel imbalances. I had the same problem with my old Practical Devices XM6. It's not really an...

I used the same equipment to test both times. I usually use an equalizer and obsessively adjust the settings for each gear setup, so it should be more or less neutral. I adjusted the bass up to neutralize the frequency response according to the Headroom graph for my current phones, the...

Yeah, my general doctor looked inside my ear and couldn't find anything wrong. No wax build-up, no sickness, no swimming. Just a sudden loss when I woke up one morning. He referred me to an ENT. The ENT (ear nose throat) doctor did the same thing, then had the audiologist at his office test...

About a month ago, I woke up and found that I was suddenly half deaf in my left ear. My hearing was also obviously impaired in my right ear, but not as much as the left. In addition, I could hear no deep bass in either ear. I have no idea what could have caused this.   My hearing response...

I recently bought a new La Figaro 339, and I found that the left tube has some wiggle room, while the right tube is pretty snug. It seems like it's still connected reasonably well to some of the sockets though. I've tried this with 4 different tubes, so I know it's the socket, not the tube. The...

As a musician, I've tried playing without a monitor. It gets pretty ugly when you don't realize that you're dragging by half a beat.   Stages are designed to project the music into the audience. Most often, musicians aren't hearing anything similar to what the audience is hearing. It is very...
