I own the pk3 and am thinking of upgrading to pk1. I like the general sound of pk3 but overall quality doesn't match up to my D2000 and speakers. Does pk1 keep general sound signature of pk3 and improve upon it? pk3 is especially lacking in the mids department.

I'm buying a new computer. I decided on getting 4gb of ram and XP Home sp3. The builder says XP Home can only use 2gb of ram, and suggests I upgrade to XP Pro to use 3.5gb of ram or go 64 bit vista to use all 4gb. Is this all true? I've searched around and most people say all 32bit editions of...

I just got these today. Unfortunately, the seller sent the ugly silver ones, I had ordered the sexy black version. These are impressions with no burn in. Packaging is cheap and crap. Once it's opened, it'll be a hassle to repack it. It comes with a 1/4" adapter and a really long extension. I...

I found a full review of the D1000 here Highlights: -very comfortable, over-the-ear, not on-the-ear -easy to drive -flat frequency response Who's going to be the first to give this headphone a try?

I feel the itch to try a MMORPG again. I've dabbled briefly in WoW, Eve Online, Guild Wars, and City of Heroes. They were ok but didn't hold my interest for more than a month. I've never played the board game and don't know anything about it, but DDO seems like it has alot going for it. I...

Seems like alot of people should have gotten their K701s by now and burning them in. I'll get things started. I'm listening to my friend's pair which just got here today. Right out of the box, it's very nice. The mids are even better than K501s. The bass extends really far down but doesn't have...

I've searched and have not found an answer for this question. Most of the threads talk about how much better aftermarket cables are. Is the improvement due to coloration (ie making HD650 sound brighter) or is there actual performance gain? Merely by making the cables brighter, it can increase...

I've been tracking the progress of my HD650, has been burning in non-stop since I got it. Day 1 - normal listening level at 11:00 on volume pot Day 2 - 10:00 Day 3 - 9:00 Day 4 - stabilized at 9:00 As each day passes, I had to reduce the volume or it'd be too loud. Someone explain this...

It's been a while since an album has blown me away like this. I can't stop listening to it. Every song is so good. They remind me a bit of Tool except less dark and creepy. Heck, their singer even sounds like Maynard! No, they're not a Tool-clone! Check them out!

This is strangest headphone I've ever heard. It doesn't have much bass but manages to be full sounding. I suspect there's some emphasive on lower mids. It just sounds weird at this point, I'm trying hard to adjust to it Also, having a hard time getting a good fit. The earpads are so small...

I accidentally ordered the AD843JNZ. The M3 website recommends AD843JN. Is there any difference, should the 'Z' version work? Thanks

OPA637s on L/R, AD8610 on ground! I've tried many diff configs and this is the best. Deep bass, airy soundstage, lush mids, sparkling highs. Strikes a nice balance between the 2 house sounds. OPA627: warm, smooth, laidback OPA627/637: same as above but more bass and bigger soundstage...

Amp: M^3 Headphone: Sennheiser hd595 I've had the waveterminal u24 usb for past few months and have been very pleased with the sound. I'd describe it as warm, smooth, deep bass, and upfront. I recently bought a desktop so wanted to get an internal to save space. I was intrigued when several...

I currently have m cubed with elpac psu. I am wondering how much difference a steps psu would make? Is it worth getting?

The setup is: waveterminal usb -> gilmore lite loopout -> m3 -> k501 / dt880 / sa5000 The loopout was used so both amps could be used at same time. All equipment were well burned in. Build The m3 was built by misterX. I've used both opa627 and ad8065 opamps, variable bass boost, elpac...

I only hear sound on left side of headphone when using grado splitter, what's wrong!?

I only hear sound on left side of headphone when using grado splitter, what's wrong!?

My friend is confused, he has dt880 and pimeta right now. He wants to know whether ray samuels xp7 or gilmore lite will have more synergy with 880. Thanks

My oehlbach 120ohm adapter arrived today, it's suppose to boost bass and tame highs on certain beyer models. I tried it out with 501 and WHOA, there's alot more bass! I thought I was imagining things so I compared a bit with and without adapter and there's definately more bass with it. Has...

What's the most forgiving headphone, $100+? By forgiving, I mean it'll sound good with bad recordings, mp3s, etc.. And it can't be discontinued (dt531)

I'm interested in this headphone but there's so little info on it. I am hoping this can is a combination of grado and 595. Please give me your impressions of this headphone when connected to 120 ohm adapter and an amp. Comparisons to grado/595/880/anything would be helpful too.

I'm considering buying this but I don't want to bother if there's as many problems with it as I've read. How big is the headband cracking problem? How long before it started cracking? Would you describe the bass as tight/punchy or boomy/bloated? Are the mids dry and recessed? Highs a bit uneven...

I need to buy a mini to 1/4" interconnect to connect from amp to soundcard. I don't want anything fancy, just something that gets the job done. Are there any brands I should be looking for? Any I should avoid? I want best bang for the buck. Preferably something I can buy locally so I can get it...

how much difference will I experience? what should i expect? is it worth it? is it a night and day thing or barely noticeable?

I got the drivers installed and found the u24 control panel but can't find the asio control panel described in the manual? how do i access that? also, on foobar, i can't get asio working, i get this error: INFO (foo_output_asio(exe)) : open : 44100 Hz, LINEAR PCM, 24 bits, 2 channels INFO...
