Hello. Looking to move from HD600 to the Z1R for all general purpose listening. Will the insides of these headphones be damaged from long term headbanging? That is being exposed to the sudden forces with headbanging. I ask because by the sounds they have delicate high precision insides, like...

For typical music listening part of me can't help but wonder & also is curious if I could get pretty close to a Pair of Grado sr325's or something mid range that is bright just by adjusting the software EQ. My thinking is after a while you will get use to the sound anyway & most typical music is...

If you have some amp/dac gear thats 5-6+ years old & something needs repairing inside, do you usually ask the manufacture to repair?   What manufactures from your experience do & do not offer this kind of service?   This isn't like a generic LCD screen, There are a handful of reasons to keep...

I have the Audioengine A2+ for watching movies & they put out too much lower bass for my taste in a small boxed in area, the result is the lower bass tends to muddy the highs. The settings in audio don't allow any tone adjustment where you can just turn down the bass a bit by a few db.   So...

Looking for what people use when listening to trance for enjoyment? I can't see under any circumstances using a stock store brought chair even with a $1000 price tag. Nothing I have seen is suitable. Doing some online searching shows just comfort mixing style chairs that don't actually address...

I'm looking at painting the housing of my amp & this means losing the names printed on the front like the power button symbol, volume + -, etc.     Just wondering if you can get anything in a sticker form that would look really good? Don't think I have any other choices & just leave it naked...

Does anyone know from long term experience at all? Could the back & forth forces damage the drivers or make them sound different?   Also bit off topic has anyone had neck issues long term?   thanks

Why do my hd600's sound so different & better using the front xlr out compared to the trs out on my audio-gd nfb10?     Of all the dozens of pages & sites I read on this stuff, there clearly is two camps.   1-the apparent experts who talk up this balanced tech like it so incredible...

I currentley have hd600s on audio-gd 10 unit. Won't to try something Different. Would the audio-gd10 be overkill for the grado's? Or simple the wrong sound all together?   Out of curiosity would an amplifier like the retro stereo 50 be a good match for the grado's?      cheers all.

I have Audio-gd NFB-10ES2 balanced unit. With a 4-pin XLR Male that plugs into the front of the unit & runs to my HD600's.     So is this setup balanced? Or does it have to have two 3pin separate connector/plugs? Which seem to be far more expensive cables.     Finally does balanced really...

Looking around for high end tube amps that are really good for headphones like hd800's for late 90's Trance music.   I like bright, very sharp mid range details on the instruments & vocals & don't like the low end bass that much. Alot of the late 90's had little bass & plenty of gorgeous...

I want foobar for the playlist & EQ, but a mixer for when going from song to song. Other wise I have to wait for the fade out on all songs.

Maybe my vista wmp is broken. Some flacs have alot of hissing in the vocals in wmp, but not at all in foobar with very similar eq settings. oddly the mp3 internet version is fine in wmp. Overall wmp eq seems to sound slightly hissing & is a little louder perceived volume & foobar sounds cleaner...

Hello all. My washing machine and some other ac motors when in use, cause music to stop playing through my usb dac/amp NFB10 unit  both headphones & speakers. I can stop the song & replay but after a few times I must re-boot as the device will become no responsive & any audio program will go...

If you got this, Is the "Journey to the Island" track much better then the original CD?   The sample on the HD tracks is too short to tell.

The Fostex HP-P1 is all I have discovered.  The Headroom Portable Desktop Amp isnt available. :(     What would sound better with the HP-P1? HD600 or HD800? Wouldn't the HD800 be too hard to drive & lack soundstage?

My understanding is:   1. higher price doesnt mean better sounding. 2. Its more about what you like in sounds. All I can say is I love my HD600's with electronic music. Long for more detail & imaging in my cheap monitors.     So which DAC would you recommend?   Matrix M-Stage...

Probably a silly paranoid question.   But I simply cant get the Flac.exe to work in EAC.   this suggested code does not work.   -V -8 -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" %s   Invalid replacement tag found.    So do you...

Do I need to buy 3 music cds that are on the database? Cant I just rip the current CD's I have & send them the data? Do I really have to buy 3?   With a CD I have, it comes up with CD Not Found In Offset database. under Offset/speed tab.   I'm using this...

new project   All I bother with in General Tab is Audio:   select audio to 44khz   Audio Samples or Milliseconds? I just use audio samples.       The editing & timebase, frame rate shouldnt make a diffrenec at all?     drag wav file in & after done editing I export to...

I have been ripping alot of second hand CD's brought from amazon. My view is why buy new if you'r just gonna throw the CD out after?   And I assumed if the optical drive ripped the discs it was getting perfect quality like new.   Is this true? Are there tiny differences in quality with...

I have done a bit of soldering for 12V electrical wires, but can this be done with the HD600 cable? Im worried the sound quality would be reduced. Is there no concern? thanks.

Most my music is loud & Im having 2nd thoughts about getting some good bookshelf speakers.   My attitude is whats the point when most music is too loud? Will it be really worth it?   If everything is loud then alot of the detail is gone.

Comparing a wide variety of songs on my HD600s off the ipod 4 through portable amp. There is hardly any differnce in qualty. The LOD is just a little quieter & probably better clarity, although i think its a placebo. But from what ive read I was hoping it would be super clear as it passes the...
