Fostex TH900 DAC
I've been using an Ibasso D12 for awhile and its been a pretty nice DAC, probably the bottleneck in my system, but still pretty passable. Unfortunately my Ibasso D12 blew out last night and so I need a new DAC for my Fostex TH900. I'm looking for a mid-centric DAC that synergizes well...- scott5526

Svetlana 3
I was hoping somebody could provide me some comparisons of the svetlana 3 compared to the svetlana 2. I was considering picking up a svetlana 2 for my audio technica w3000anv and I noticed the svetlana 3 for $400USD cheaper, but I haven't heard anything about it. I looked around but couldn't...- scott5526

Right now I'm using sansa clip+ to 3.5mm to ibasso d12 to 3.5mm to Bellari HA540 to w3k with the weakest part probably being the clip. What are some good daps up...- scott5526

AKG tubes
Right now I'm using a Bellari HA540 with a Tungsol AX7 goldpin to power my AKGs, anybody have any recommendations for tubes for these? I like the goldpin as its airiness goes very well with the AKGs so something along those lines would be great. Thanks- scott5526

Sennheiser hdr 130 vs sennheiser hd 650
I've been hearing how the hd 650 is very forgiving with poorly recorded tracks and heard the hdr 130 today. I actually liked the 130 alot especially with the drums. It made tracks that I knew for a fact were poorly recorded sound on par with well recorded tracks and I was curious how its sound...- scott5526

AKG K702 music
Just tried out Chris Clouse's album on these going Sansa Clip > Ibasso D12 > Bellari HA540 > Akg K702. I can honestly say that I've never been so floored by any headphones I've tried or currently have.... ever. Anyone else know any great bands for the K702s? -
Headphone Upgrade from Akg K702
Over the last few months I've tried Beyer DT880s 32ohms, AKG K702s, and now Hifiman HE-400s. The Beyers sounded unimpressive, the Hifimans too dark and bassy for me, but I loved the AKGs. I currently have the Hifimans and keep find myself comparing their soundstage and ability to reproduce...- scott5526

Grado Customer Service
Several months ago one of my gimbles on my Grado 225is broke and I emailed Grado's customer service asking how to purchase a new one being that I was out of warranty. When they responded they simply asked my address and told me they would send me a new one free of charge. Several days ago the...- scott5526

Gaming Headphones
About three years ago I got some Astro A40s and I loved them for gaming. About a year ago they broke and I got some Tritton AX720s as a present which I liked significantly less due to comfort and cord weight issues. Now I am looking for a new headset strictly for gaming and movies, but I am...- scott5526

Senn HD 650 vs Beyer dt 880 (600 ohm) vs AKG K702
I have been looking for a new pair of headphones and have narrowed it to these three. I currently own some grado 225is with the sennheiser pads and love them, but want to try a few different sound signatures from different companies.
