Hello, I have just seen the following headphones in a local music shop: Here Does anyone know anything about them ? There appears to be no reviews on the internet yet !

I just did a comparison between SR60 and SR325 un-amped into my ipod shuffle, I was not expecting to notice a difference, thinking the shuffle would not provide enough juice, but surprising the difference is night and day. The sound with SR325 is a lot more detailed, there is a little more sound...

Quote: How do you like them compared to the 701s ? I was thinking about getting a pair of 701s too, but it looks like you switched over to the 325i instead. Well I got a pair of 501 and 701s at the same time and I found although the 701 were a little more detailed than the 501s, they...

# 2238, reporting in. Just received them from SnoopyRocks as a trade for my 701s. I am very happy to join the club

I too have had the lack of interest/courtesy from a hi-fi dealer. On one occasion I brought $1600 worth of equipment and the guy did not even smile. If I remember correctly he even sighed when I said I wanted the maple speakers when he brought out the black ones. The second visit he was just...

I think it is maybe these and he has them on the wrong way round (Koss UR 20) http://www.headphone.com/productPhot...icn=0020130020 Not sure if they are Audio Technica, as they seem to have more detail at the point where the headband meets the drivers. I thought 595s at first but they...

Well we are looking for a model of headphone with a single cable to the right headphone (Hopefully the guy in the pic has them the correct way round) and with non fabric pads. That should help narrow it down. I'm looking to see if I can find any suspects.

I got my K701s a few days ago, I am really enjoying them at the moment, they don't have as much bass impact as my HD600s did, but they certainly have detail. I listened to Metallica - S&M - Master of Puppets and I swear I could hear a xylophone, the first time I have heard it. I really brings...

How about trying to look for maybe an older cd player 2nd hand. (Marantz CD 63/67, Arcam Alphas, Nad etc). Otherwise I suspect that computer - > Dac would be the best option given your budget.

I wear my SR60s out because they (a) sound good and (b) keep my ears warm in the -20 Kingston weather. I try to keep the volume to a level that won't attract attention. Although I have seen one or two other grado wearers from time to time, although never when I have mine on .

I am glad to hear that the player is working well as a transport. Good luck with getting the amp section fixed.

It maybe a good deal if you can get it fixed, but my concern is if the rest of it fails or you end up paying for a half working device. To be honest if they were asking half the price, I would say yes. But I am not so sure for $180, seems a little much for something that only half works. I...

Warning random head-fi zen like state related post. I just today received my Dared MP5 which I purchased from ak622, it was a bit of an impulse purchase, but I am so glad I did. When I got it this morning, I just quickly tested using the onboard usb dac to play mp3s from my ibook. I was...

Thanks for the info, I am very interested in the Apollo. I used to own a Planet 2000 which I loved, but I had to sell it when I moved to Canada.

A pair of MX500 sent by a very cautious person

Normally just my Etymotic ER-6s which don't notice much at all, although the way they stick straight out has resulted in me getting one or two looks. Once I had them in, with the cord wrapped around my ears and dark specs on and a military police car drove by me and slowed down. When I...

Thanks for the comments, I will give it some consideration.

Great Pics, I will be interested to hear your comments on how much of an improvement it makes. I did consider the clock upgrade for mine, but I am nervous about having to do the mods myself. But I have the DY2000 on its way

Hello, I was wondering which pocket amps are well matched for an ipod shuffle and my Etymotics. I suppose another question I should ask is, as the shuffle already has a quite good output is an amp really required or show an improvement. I am not looking to spend too much, any thoughts on...

Following on from what blessingx was saying, a recent issue of Hi-Fi + said that for mobile listening the first generation Ipods had the better sound of most portable mp3 sources. They recommended a 1G Ipod and Etymotics for listening on the go. I have never heard one so I can't say...

The DY2000 is very mysterious, it by all accounts is an Analog Devices Op-amp, but when I contacted them about it, they did not recognise the model. I am going to send them more info at some point to see if they can yet still identify this op-amp.

I think roger is correct as Lawrence e-mailed me asking if I would be interested in the clock upgrade, so it must fit. James

This is the only mod I have had done to the dac.

I have just installed the headphone upgrade for my Zhalou 1.3 Dac. The installation was relatively trouble free. I used the very useful installation photos on the Zhalou site.here The new headphone section not only improves the headphone output, it also allows you to by-pass the dac using...
