    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    The Cardas cable for my Sennheiser HD-650 is a nice combination. It brings out the bass and mid range to the forefront so that female vocals sound warm and intimate. There is a golden honey sound that permeates the tonal balance which is liquid, warm, and sweet. It sounds like my Cardas Golden...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    Ha ha ha!   Don't use the US Postal Service Express mail if you really want to make sure that something will be delivered to a location next day.   It was worth the effort and cost. I finally got the Cardas cable for my HD-650s. Now, my music sounds better to my ears. So far, the Cardas...

    What made your day awesome?

    I got my Cardas cable for my Sennheiser HD-650 headphones a few minutes ago. I confirmed that they work and I hear a stereo sound. They sound better than my Moon Audio Blue Dragon cable which I am selling in a classified here. I will let them burn in for one week.

    Headphone replacement cables for Sennheiser HD-650

    I just got my Cardas cable for my Sennheiser HD-650 headphones. I plugged them in and I am playing Ke$ha's Animal CD and I am able to hear a stereo sound. I like the Cardas cable much better than the Moon Audio Blue Dragon cable for my Sennheiser HD-650 headphones, but it is too premature to...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    I finally got my Cardas cable for my Sennheiser HD-650 headphones. They are the newer version with the gray jacket. I plugged them into my HD-650s and I confirm that they work properly. I am getting a stereo sound from my headphones. This cable is 10' long and it is more than long enough for me...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    I know that the stock cable is quite good. I already tried it.   I called my main post office that serves my area and they confirmed that they have the USPS express mail package at their location. I told them that I want to walk to the post office and pick it up in person. They said that it...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    It made it into Kearny, NJ 07032. It is one of the primary USPS sort facilities in New Jersey. It hope that it will get delivered to my home today.   I used to trust USPS, but I have to reconsider that now. Thankfully, this is not critical to my graduate studies at Princeton University such...

    This is the USPS' fault. It is not the fault of the shipper who is a Head-Fi member here. He did everything right by me.

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    I never got my Cardas headphone replacement cable for my Sennheiser HD-650 headphones yesterday even though it is an USPS Express mail package with a guaranteed delivery date of March 14th, 2012 by 12:00 PM. The last scan information from USPS.com indicates that it is in Boston, MA 02205. I am...

    Audioquest USB cables

    If you wish to contact me through a private message, then do not send me hate mail. I received another rude private message from one of the respondents to this thread whom I shall leave unnamed and I have had enough. I shared my knowledge, opinions, and experiences with these Audioquest cables...

    Warm sounding power cable for Benchmark DAC1?

    I own the Cardas Golden Reference Power cord (1 meter) and I auditioned the original Benchmark DAC-1 a few years ago. It was a good combination together. Cardas' Golden Reference power, interconnects, and speaker cables are known for their warmth especially in the mid range.

    Audioquest USB cables

    I did report that my Audioquest Cinnamon 1.5 meter USB cable seemed to lower the volume by 3 decibels when I first connected it between my System76 Bonobo Professional laptop and Resolution Audio Opus 21 Extra Sources box. I still find that this is true after listening to this USB cable for the...

    Audioquest USB cables

    My authorized Audioquest dealer told me that the Diamond and Coffee USB cables do not need more than 20 minutes of break-in to sound their best because of the patented Audioquest DBS. I found that he told me the truth when I auditioned the top of the line Diamond 1.5 meter USB cable last week.

    Audioquest USB cables

    Amazon has a 30 day money back guarantee. I would implore you to give it at least one week of burn in time before you come to your final decision. Remember, only the Audioquest Coffee and Diamond have the patented 72v Dialectric Bias System which greatly reduces the need for burn-in time because...

    Audioquest USB cables

    Remember, I got my Audioquest Cinnamon 1.5 meter USB Type A to Type B cable for $39.94 USD because it is a used USB cable from Amazon's Warehouse Deals. The regular MSRP is $68.75 USD for an Audioquest Cinnamon 1.5 meter USB cable. While I can afford it, I do not plan to purchase more Audioquest...

    Audioquest USB cables

    I'll work with you to answer your questions.   All of my non-audio USB devices use the standard manufacturer's supplied USB 2.0 Type A to Micro B cables. I have not experienced any errors in reading, writing, deleting, copying data as far I can tell.   I think that the best way to answer...

    Audioquest USB cables

    I haven't tried it yet. My LG DVD/CD burner drive, Seagate FreeAgent hard disk drive, Amazon Kindle 3G + Wi-Fi, Canon Pixma printer use the USB Type A to Micro B connection so I can not try my Audioquest Cinnamon 1.5 meter USB Type A to Type B cable to test it out. As for the rest of my USB...

    ubuntu 12.04

    I am waiting for April 26th, 2012 for Canonical to release Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit Long Term Support. I plan to download the alternative installation .ISO file and burn it to a CD-R or DVD-R if the size of the file exceeds 700 megabytes (it might go as high as 750 megabytes). I will use the Software...

    Do most people who invest in high end head-fi listen to just CD's or vinyl?

    Quote: I have heard current generation top of the line digital source components and they are extremely close to the sound of top of the line analog turntables especially if it is capable of playing very high resolution digital content like DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD or 24bit/192kHz...
