Hi everyone, yesterady I wanted to do some "vintage" listening, so I've plugged my father's HD424X in the Earmax Pro amp. In this photo you see the HD424X along with my K240M: the HD424X was the top Sennheiser in the late seventies, and its direct competitor was the AKG K240...

Some days ago we made a very interesting meeting in Trentino, (at a friend's home situated in Ala). This was the stuff: Sources: -Audio Analogue Maestro 192/24 -Denon DVD 2900 mod. Royal Device -Marantz SA 11 S1 -Meridian G07 Amps: -Earmax Pro -Rudistor NX-01 -Rudistor NKK-02...

What? I've searched for it in the advanced search function but I can't find a SR80 appreciation thread! So here it is! I have mine since a week, and I think they are just wonderful for the price. 100 eur for an headphone which can deliver great sound. IMHO, they are: - balanced - very...

Hi, anyone know if there are real differences in sound between these two models, or it is the same headphone with different look and volume control? thanks in advance bye Andrew

Yesterday I received my new Beyer DT880 from Mr. Meier. This is the return of the DT880, I had the 2003 version. This new version is almost identical in balance (slightly on the bright side, you know), but has more "hoomp" in the midbass and more detail with a slightly more controlled...

Hi, I've found a Sony SA1000 in a shop near my home, and I want to know the experience of the people who have/had those hadphones. In particular: how do they compare with the SA5000? thanks! bye Andrew

Hi, I'm thinking to get a SR325i to pair with flat pads which I already have. I read often about the SR325i to be a very good headphones but with a bright sound: I'm a lover of old Grado sound (i.e. with flats), so I wonder if that clarity of the bowled-325i, paired with the smoothness of...

I'm thinking about getting a Stax OmegaII, instead of my Sennheiser HE60/HEV70 system, looking for warmer/bassier sound. If I'll decide for the OmegaII, for a while I will drive them with a SRM-3 amplifier (similar to the SRM-313). In your opinion, will I obtain a better (and warmer)...

Hi, I want to share with the forum my impressions about these two system, Sennheiser Baby-Orpheus HE60/HEV70 (with improved dc power supply) and AKG K701 + Rudistor NX01 solid state amp. This will be not a "vs" comparison, but instead an "&" comparison, as I can't really say which system is...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for separate HD580/600/650 connectors in order to build a custom cable: does anyone know where I can buy them (without cutting an existing cable I mean)? thanks in advice Andrew

Some weeks ago, "inspired" by the cheap price on an ebay site, I bought the HD600, mostly for curiosity... and I've found quite surprisingly (but not too much surprisingly ), that they are close to what I ever wanted in a dynamic heaphone. I find their sound very exciting, in my setup, more...

Ok, that's also because I'm italian and I'm proud when we can do great technology in headphones market... I think I will never be able to buy this amp, but it's one of the most interesting thing I've seen: the Rudistor RP1000. http://www.rudistor.com/rp1000.htm Output balancend and...

Audio Technica AD2000: my experience. First I have to thanks my friend Paolo for giving me the possibility to listen to these very interesting headphones. BREAF INTRO The ATH-AD2000 come from the "Air" series; they were engineered to be as open as possible, making the driver work as...

I see that now on AKG site: http://www.akg.com/products/powersla...nguage,EN.html http://www.akg.com/products/powersla...nguage,EN.html http://www.akg.com/products/powersla...nguage,EN.html Three pieces of headphone history go out of the cathalog after about thirty years. No more...

I have by now listened to the Beyerdynamic DT990 for enough time in order to develop a precise idea of their sound and of the "intentions" of the object. I'm sorry for the "approximate" english, but I want to say a lot, and my english is not the best... but I think it's understandable...

Hi everyone. As title says... I have a G&W Tw-J1 to drive my Beyer DT880 (and the DT990 in few days...). I'm happy with its sound. But the Corda HA-1 appeals me very much. Are the Corda Ha-1 a significant improvement over the G&W? thanx and bye Andrea Ps. my G&W is not one of...

Hallo everyone, I have a Stax Lambda Nova Signature powered by a solid-state SRM-3 amplifier since a month ago. I've bought it (used, of course) because I wanted to "discover" the world of electrostatic sound, that I've read many time to be "different", or, better said, to have some...

Hi everyone. Anyone has experience with the Beyer DT880 driven by the Headsave classic? I'm looking for a "cheap" headphone amplifier that can make my DT880 sound better than driven from my cd-player phones-output. Any suggestion? Thanks Andrea

Hi everyone, I want to share with the forum my last headphones experiences. I bought an AKG K501 at a very great price (159 eur) on ebay. Recently I had a little "revolution" in my headphone listening, aroused from the little AKG K141S. I discovered that I prefer to listen to the K141S...

Hi everyone! VS. VS. Anybody knows, please, the differences in the sound between the AKG K141Monitor and K141Studio, and between the K240Monitor and K240Studio? Assuming all headphones properly amped... Thanks in advice! Bye Andrea

AKG K141 Studio REVIEW! Hi everyone! There's a new entry in my headphone collection... I've bought a "legendary" Akg K141, the Studio version, which is 55 ohm version of the classic K141 Monitor. In the past I've read very good things about this cans in magazines, so I've bought them for...

I've receiveid the Rudistor RP3 two months ago, the "entry-level" of Rudistor line-up, a gift for me and my HD650. For the technical features see the site http://www.rudistor.com/soundsystems/RP3-en.htm . The ampli looks very solid and well constructed, it has a strong...

Nik's OMEGA II + EGMONT REFERENCE RevieW!!! Hallo, I want to share with you my experience with the best audio (Music!) system I've ever heard (and probably the best audio system ever!). [sorry for my english...] The equipment...

Recently I've purchased a Koss PortaPro, because I needed a light, little, correct and powerful headphone for monitoring when I was playing the piano with a choir for a concert. In this concert on stage I've only a box and I use it for the choir to hear my keyboard and a little of their voice...
