Can you get a Heed for $300? I believe the retail price has risen since the initial release. I don't know much about the used market though. pianomav I think you have my ideal setup in your sig. I don't suppose you have a review of your DAC1, GS-X, HD650 setup somewhere lurking for me to read?

I have tried both and still own both. The UM2's are a far superior IEM to the UM1's. I was actually in the process of writing a response to your question yesterday regarding the UM1s, but I stopped because I realized that my post sounded too condescending of the UM1's. I actually gave both of...

My gear wasn't deemed worthy enough to be put on the list eh? I got my iBasso D1 in today and I've already rolled the opamps. I'd be happy to bring it if anyone fancies a listen. Although I recall bhjazz mentioning he had a iBasso/iPod combination already.

Wow, this has really taken off! Thanks so much bhjazz! As mentioned earlier I will bring my HD650's and Heed Canamp.

Wow, can't help you but I admire your tastes! I assume you're specifically into tuning or there's the new GTR that Nissan's rolling out for 2008.

Mine is also dark gray. I think it's an artifact of the picture.

Interesting. I've heard the argument for warmup time of amps but never for headphones themselves. Have you tried warming up just the amp (if you have one) with another set of phones and then trying with your main phones? Just a thought.

If you haven't already take a look at the X-fi modding thread I recommend it. Swapping out the opamp can be done in a few minutes if you're handy with an iron, and the difference is immense! x2 (or was it x3?) on the Canamp. Mod your X-Fi, get the Canamp, put in your new HD650's and you've...

I really need to hear the 701's at some point... soon! I've always found the HD650's to sound excellent with jazz, but to be fair I haven't tried a whole lot of other higher end phones before. I'm contemplating the 701's as my next set of phones (unless Ultrasones interest me more), and this...

Do a search for the T-amp. The original was a $30 amp that was reported to be an exceptional find. These days there are people who build the T-amps into a nice enclosure and sell them for $200+. A little searching, and maybe a little DIY, will yield the cheaper versions.

Ok, I'm not going to try and top that... but here http://youtube.com/watch?v=IJjsHvus88o

I'm new to the whole DIY scene so please be nice! I've been contemplating putting together a Monica or, if Yeo will sell a kit version of it, a Monica USB. However, I'm not sure what to do about power for her. I've read many a post/webpage that states that power is an extremely important...

Thanks for the invite! Unless something tragic comes up at work (it just might) 11/17 sounds good. I've got some HD650's and a Heed Canamp if that'll get me in the door I'm still working on picking a good source.

Are the D1000's really circumaural? I've seen some sites list it as supra and some as circum. From what I remember of other posts in the forum they're circumaural only if you have rather small ears.

*smirk*. Sorry, but I found that rather amusing. We could go about criticizing everyone's setups, but why bother? We could all just jump to the gusto and say everyone's ears are broken.

I took off the outer foams when I got home from work today. Honestly, i gave them about 15 minutes of play time until I decided to replace the foams. I didn't notice much of any change in those 15 minutes. What decided it for me was that I did NOT like being able to see all the way through my...

Please list some for us! Just kidding! I've actually had the reverse happen to me. People will start talking to me assuming that I'm listening. Maybe partway through the conversation I'll finally notice that they're there and be like "huh, wha?". So rather that getting exasperated at them...

Waiting for the IBasso D1 to be back in stock so they can finally ship them to me even though when I ordered it was in stock (insert continuous rant here).

Did you remove both the inner and outer foam? Did you notice a difference between just having the inner removed and having the inner and outer removed? I'll give it a shot tonight, but I'd like some opinions in the meantime.

I cannot possibly imagine that running your headphones without an amp would harm them. Quite the opposite actually. Overpowering your headphones with a very strong amp is likely to harm them. Let's not forget that there's an amp powering the headphone jack of your laptop. Granted, it's a...

You have tw.... argh. Stop hogging them all, and let the rest of us try one!

Egoiste Platinum. I don't really wear it much though.
