Sorry if this is the wrong place, I've searched on the forums but I couldn't find an answer for these two questions because they're probably so obvious. I've been sleeving/braiding cables for a while on PC's so I know the method, it's more the details, For the HE-500's stock silver wire, what...

I don't know why but I had an aversion to using an EQ of any sort, but I reduced the 4k slightly just for curiousity sake and it made a pretty big difference in toning down the brightness, changed my perspective a bit. It's still not quite there and lowering it any more just makes it sound iffy...

Hi, a bit of backstory: I used to own a pair of Hifiman HE-500's and unfortunately they broke. Rather than replacing them I decided to change to the newer HE-560's, they're the later production model with the metal baffles. Now, it wasn't because I was dissatisfied with the HE-500's, quite the...

I recently purchased a pair of HifiMan He-6 headphones with the intention of going for a Schiit Lyr/Bifrost setup, however I've been reading a lot about how these can be driven out of a Speaker Amp. This is the first time I've done anything like this, so my questions will probably sound really...

I'd say your experience is purely psychological. One of the reasons I'm constantly upgrading and swapping out gear (and I'm sure it's the case with many others on this forum too) is to seek that initial thrill of hearing something worlds better than your previous setup. A great way of indicating...

Hi! Roughly 4 months ago I purchased a pair of Grado GS1000i's from a recommendation to upgrade from a pair of D2000's. However, after properly burning them in, I'm still not satisfied and selling them on.  The Grado's had a superb bass and soundstage but literally butchered imperfect...

I recently returned some Denon AH-D2000's as I wasn't quite satisfied with their sound. The bass was a bit too muddy and wasn't 'boomy' enough, and the mids were quite recessed. I use a Little Dot MKIII Amplifier with a pair of M8100 Mullard tubes (drastically improved the quality of the D2000's...
