A friend of mine takes a trip to New York and has agreed to source me a pair of GS1K pads. Does any of you folks know a NY store with adress, where they are available right away?   The ones I have had in use for years have started falling to pieces, and the shipping costs to the EU are...

Hello,   as some of you might know, I'm not exactly "the brain" in respect of amplification. However, looks like I need a new one though, my gain 2 Cmoy just won't do when it goes to bed- or sofa sessions with my Orthos or the 600 ohm Beyer. So my main concern is sheer power for the big high...

Just asking.

Does anybody have a clue why more and more pics don't get displayed any more recently?   First thing I noticed 2 weeks ago was that sometimes pics only got displayed as faulty links, although the preview had always looked perfect. Next thing was that post #2 of my "eternal" MS1000 thread...

Here's mine, back in 2005 or so, when I was told that my precioussss DT770'250 had the disadvantage of recessed mids Quote: I don't set high values on mids anyway

The stock K271 really ain't bad, but it has some issues IMO: Not quite enough bass and an awful comfort. Regarding the sound, I had the luck to get dyed DT770 pads from headphile, these don't alter anything, but add a nice kick & rumble that every other pad just isn't able to provide. NoXter...

I have tried a lot of stuff in the recent years, but nevertheless I was really impressed by the PK1's abilities. I love their emotional sound signature, the details, the punch and the sweeet mids - almost a small Gradessandro. Fit was an issue though, they slipped or even dropped out of my...

Mine's quite a while ago, more than 20 years... One day, the front light of my motorbike suddenly got defective at late dawn, so I used secret paths for my way back home. One route section was ambivalent, 'cause I knew they would block it with a middle pillar...sometimes. I carefully sneaked...

...to all newbees and all silverbacks!

Regions, cultures, habits...what brings you to the limits of your political correctness when looking at other places, because you are digged so deep in the habits of the place where you were raised? I'm an EU creature and get freaked by - Everyone's so civilized in Asia, but they do have...

The german hifi forum will be down for a day, we need an substitute place to blaspheme. Here we go. Hereinpaziert Jungs, was gibt's neues?

Is it just me, but I have the impression that lots of elder 6000+ silverbacks from 2004 or earlier have left this forum in the course of the last months.

Some weeks ago, I got the idea of doing a completely subjective review in “headfi style”. My buddy Noxter was so kind to provide 2 of his more exotic cans as well as some musical material of genres that exceed my personal taste horizon. This thread is “only” the translation of the original...

I proudly present the actual FOTM in the german hifi forum,   Alessandro MS 1000 Part 1: Basics What is a MS 1000? History: How did the MS 1000 come into existence? What are the main sound differences between a MS 1000 and a stock MS1? Result:   How can I get an...

...and your nightmare can! Rules: Only "real" headphones, no IEM/earbuds My dream can: - Bass of the AT AD2000 - Mids of the Beyer DT880 - Treble of the Stax SR404 - Detailling of the AKG K1000 - Soundscape of the Sony CD3000 - Emotion / groove of the AT W5000 - Musical bandwidth...

As my son permanently showers the livingroom with his kiddy CDs and my wife has a mentionable affinity for vespertine television sessions, I needed an isolation monster for my occasional non-computer moods. Found a new pair of K271 for 106€ at german Ebay and pulled the trigger. I quite like...

Damn. I have easter holidays and intended to pimp my wife's car in order to sell it later, but we are stuck in snow... Act of compensation: My old CD3K, especially the pleather parts, are a bit rotten after 15 years A bit of leather and industry glue... Before & after Bottom...

Just found by my wife in an (!) american knitting blog Quote: Originally Posted by John Cleese --------------------------------------------------------------------- In light of your failure to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we...

...obviously almost none of you still owns that fon, I see nothing but big ATs, Grado woodies or heavily boutiqued HD650s in your sig. What made you sell the CD3K? Any regrets? Did anyone keep them? Maybe maybe maybe I can get my hands on a proper CD3K, for a reasonable price - I really...

Hi everyone, I am interested in the headphone world outside the nerd forums (just scientific interest). When I take a look around here in non-urban germany, it's mostly the cheap Senns beneath the HD595, some Philips and Sony that are visible in the consumer markets or dealers. Some...

I got two of these superior 4562 DIP dual opamps yesterday. One drives my cheap BTech SS, the other works in my selfbuilt portable Cmoy/RA1 clone. All the rave about this opamp seems to be more than justified, as it sounds absolutely superb and moreover provides a mentionable soundstage...

Had a nice visitor last night who brought his entire equipment here - that was funtime I can tell you! Amps used: Millet & Aria. Both quite on par, BTW. The AT AD2000 was a huge disappointment. While the bass layers were the best I've ever heard, the rest of the frequencies were totally...

My new MS2 is surprisingly picky with amplification - the Millet works fine, my cheap SS doesn't (too bright, no soundscape). According to a nerd in the german forum, middle priced portable amps such as Meier Porta Corda or the new Headphonia only provide little (if not to say none)...

Got them almost new from Comfy with ~50h on them. 1st Impression: Most beautiful fons I've ever held in hands. 2nd Impression: Heavy like hell, the bowls stink peppermintish. Comfort non-existing. That will be reversed 414s soon. 3rd impression: Neutral, powerful, rich sounding. Very...
