I got my UM-2s today as well and I am trying them out with short comply tips currently. It is pretty nice how they isolate me and allow me to feel alone with my music for the most part (since I have never tried closed cans before). I have also noticed how they are revealing of details and subtle...

I am waiting for my UM2's to come in too man so I know what you are feeling...the only problem is that I will have to wait til Mon to pick them up since the post office isn't open on weekends.

I just recently bought a Parasound Zamp v.3 Zone Amplifier to supply power to my speakers. It definitely makes a real difference, I am noticing many new and clearer details. My current setup needs more low end sound though (that is why I have a HSU STF-1 subwoofer on order). It also comes with a...

Aman: Is it possible to hook up a subwoofer to that Zamp? Just wondering.

Man...I can't borrow the car to go to the meet...sorry guys.

Drool...I wanna try out those Singlepower tube amps...might be something to invest in for the future...once I find a new source of income. I guess since Saturnine is bringing his comp then I don't have to bring mine over. I can just burn a dvd or 2 with all my reference songs on em (encoded in...

I can bring the following: Amps (I got pairs of OPA227, OPA627AP, OPA627BP, OPA637AP, OPA637BP, and NE5534 opamps for rolling): SM v3 (currently equipped with OPA637BP) SM v1 (currently equipped with OPA637AP) Headphones: ATH-CM7Ti (w/ Ratshack foamies) MS-1 (w/ Headphile Beta...

Wee! I got my SM V3 today! It sounds totally fantastic even without burn in. The sound stage seems expanded and I can hear even more details when compared to my V1. Also channel separation is more distinct. I will let you all know more once I burn it in fully.

Nvm...seems my question has been answered by this thread: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=112462

The primary source I am going to be using for this would be my computer with a EMU 0404 in it. So the basic layout I wanted would be: EMU 0404 > Sonic Impact T-amp > Subwoofer > Speakers Hopefully this clears up some questions you guys might have.

Is it possible to connect the Sonic T-amp to a subwoofer with high level inputs like the Dayton 10" sub (http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshow...32&ctab=6#Tabs) and then connect some speakers(I plan on getting the Ascend CBM-170s) to the sub's high level outputs? Hopefully this can be done so I...

Well I got my confirmation email today (Thurs) and I ordered on March 16th so yours should be coming soon too. Just be patient for good things always come to those that wait...no matter what anyone else says.

I am just wondering...what is the exact distinction between AP and BP type opamps(i.e. OPA327AP and OPA327BP)?

I would prefer the 14th since final exams end for me on the 10th. I will be staying at home in Cary so hopefully the location will preferably be w/in a 1/2 hr driving distance. I can bring my Rio Carbon, MS-1 (w/ Headphile beta pads), Supermacro-3 amp (should be coming in this week or the next)...

Oh yeah one other thing to add, I really don't have to use any equalizer (Foobar2K or E-MU DSP Mixer) right now to tweak the sound to my liking. Seems like the C-pads are definitely the solution I have been looking for all along (they even got me thinking about getting my MS-1 woodied in Paduak...

I got my Beta C-pads yesterday and I can already tell that they are what I have been looking for all along (Full detail with comfort). I heartily recommend em even though they almost cost the same amount as my MS-1's.

Holy motha of god! I just got my Beta C-pads today and tried them out (still doing so in fact). I find that they have widened the soundstage up so much that I feel lost ("Is this still the same pair of MS-1's that I had yesterday?" pops up in my mind). Yeah I know they are but in addition to the...

Hrmm...seems like I discovered this thread a lil too late. Hopefully I can make the next meeting. I attend school at State, live in a dorm, and my home is in Cary btw. I can bring over a Rio Carbon, a SuperMacro, ATH-CM7Ti earbuds, and my MS-1 with beta C-pads. With my schedule this semester...

Or maybe the white stuff is...you know what I am talking about. Brings another meaning to "cream in your pants fantastic" which the Orpheus most certainly is.

I just got my Supermacro today and I am totally blown away by the increase in sound quality, they really give some extra life to my headphones (delaying upgradetitus but for how long though? ). I still have to figure out a more convinient way to carry it around with my Carbon for the ultimate...

Would those replacement tips work for ATH-CM7Ti? I am in dire need of something to make my pair stay in place securely.

Does the HD 25-1 use the same connectors as the HD 600 or the HD 650? Just wondering since I might be interested in purchasing the phones and don't want to ship the stock cables to Larry for the upgrade process.

Hrmm...I think I found a promising deal on the AKG K271S, $149.99 at djmart.com. I think I will just nab it from there and try it out, headphile has a cable upgrade for them so I will have an opportunity to enhance them in the future easily by myself if I wish to do so, otherwise I will sell...

Man...I wish I lived in a more populated area where people actually held meets so I could try these phones out easily. I guess the only way I can try them out is by ordering them and returning the ones I don't like (but I really don't have enough money to do so). I think I will check out the...

Hi everyone, I am looking for my first step into mid-fi cans for around $200. I want to have a pair of headphones that is closed since so far I have obtained only open cans (MS-1 and ATH-CM7Ti). Portability would be a nice plus but not a necessity (unless they are could totally replace the...
