Finally got my HM5s in the mail yesterday.  Listened to them at work yesterday and was really pleased with the sound.  Running from my ipod through my JDS Cmoy Amp.  Really like the sound.  I do see a similarity to the signature of the 650s.  Nice clarity, perhaps a touch more treble, but not...

The wife is at dinner with friends.  The baby is asleep.  And I am enjoying a glass of red wine while listening to Damien Rice through the HD650s powered by the Little Dot MKIV.   No critical listening or trying to find flaws in the equipment or the recording.  Just relaxing and enjoying...

Right now, my turntable, a MusicHall MMF5 is connected to my 11 year old Denon receive that actually has a built in phonostage.   However, I was thinking of incorporating the turntable into my head-fi station.  (With a toddler around, I rarely get to listen to my music on loudspeakers.)  ...

All of my headphones right now are open backed designs.  The most recent purchase and the main one for home listening is the Sennheiser HD 650.    However, I would like a set of closed back cans for late night listening that won't bother my wife.     Looking to spend about $150 and would...

I finally settled on the Little Dot MK IV to power my Sennheiser 650s.  Ordered it on Friday and am eagerly awaiting their delivery, which probably won't happen until next week at the earliest :-( Dealing with David at Little Dot was a pleasure.  He was very responsive throughout.   Any...

From what I've read, it appears that the only differences between the Little Dot MK IV regular and SE versions are improved jacks for the SE version -- a Neutrik headphone jack and improved RCA connectors.  (Additionally, you get an extra year on the warranty.)   Do you guys think that these...

To all who have purchased the Little Dot MK IV SE into the USA, how much was the Import Duty?  How does the process work?  Is it held in customs for a long time or is a quick process?   Thanks.

In the end, I found the AKG 702s a little too analytical for my tastes.  I may not have given them a fair shake, but after comparing to both the Beyer 880s and the Sennheiser 650, I found that I preferred both of the latter cans' sound signatures better.  In the end, I just couldn't pass up the...

I just got a new pair of K702s which so far have been wonderful. I also have AKG K240 Studio, Grado SR125 and Etymotic er6 (somewhere -- this will be the third pair of Etys I have lost, previously having lost two different sets of 4Ps.)  The 702s will be my primary headphone for home listening...

First post here.   I just got a new pair of K702s which so far have been wonderful. I also have AKG K240 Studio, Grado SR125 and Etymotic er6 (somewhere -- this will be the third pair of Etys I have lost, previously having lost two different sets of 4Ps.)  Unless and until I find the Etys...
