thanks, I will look into these. I have never listened to the HiFiMAN phones.

I would like a better and more expansive soundstage, a better bass (and better I mean more realistic, and faster), the ability to be able to pick out individual instruments, more detail but also more realistic timbres (not "hifi").

All, would appreciate some advice on new headphones. I currently own some Stax SR 009s, Senn 6xx, Grado 325s and a Grado modded R1 headphone using Ypsilon drivers. Also have some Unique Melody Miracles that I use with an AK240. I am thinking of something in the price range of the Senn 800s but...

HI all, what is the best way to secure the drivers so that they do not pop out of the cups. I had a pair of Grado Modded R1 Epsilon headphones made by fleababy but occasionally the drivers become loose. Is the guidance still to wrap some electrical tape around the outside of the driver and push...

Do you have the link to Nayparm's website as I would be interested in this modification.

Hi All, I am looking for advice on a new portable DAP to upgrade my existing AK240. I will be using it with Melody Miracle IEMs (balanced or single ended), Sen 6xx, Grado 325s and a pair of Epsilon R1 Elleven Acoustica modded phones that Fleasbaby made for me. I have a Pico Slim and Ray...

I am also looking for the Senn XLR cable if anyone has a spare.

Thanks. Do you have a photo of this set up so can better understand the connections?

My understanding from speaking to the company is that there are no special requirements and that they are typical speaker cable. i would also be intending to use longer speaker cable with spade connections if I purchase these headphones.

that would be very helpful, thank you. Cant wait to hear your impressions and comparisons. As I mentioned, I have a good two channel system so for me this route makes a lot of sense rather than having to invest in an amp as well.

Thanks HoloSpice. Reading all I can about these including the 6 Moons review. I am assuming for jazz, vocals and acoustic there are no particular issues once you get accustomed to the directness of the sound, is that right?

Thank you. I will take a look. Also, for using in my office, is there any portable amp that can work with these headphones or are they purely for listening at home?

I am intrigued by these headphones particularly because I have a respectable two-channel speaker system and can use my power amps (appreciate that this can also be done with certain other headphones but this is truly dedicated to be used in this way). I contacted Alex and Danny yesterday and...

My thinking too. I have been considering this DAC as it does offer some protection against future upgrades. I have been badly burned with other manufacturers releasing upgraded products and devaluing mine at such a fast rate that my next purchase has to be able to be updated. Problem is that it...

Great thread. Is there a general consensus on what DACs and Amps work best with these headphones? I have a Cayin iHA-6 and Lessloss DAC that I am currently using with some modded Epsilon phones made by Fleababy and I want to step up to these phones or the ZMFs. Thanks All. James

Just to add I would be using this mainly to listen to tidal and Spotify.

Hi everyone, happy holidays. I have a good portable rig (AK240) but wanted to get ideas for how I can get more out of my iphone 8 for when I don't have my main portable rig. e.g. in office, on metro. I would be using UM Miracles or Grado 325s or Senns 650s. Is there a small dac/amp that I...

My 1928 Gibson L-5

Agree 100% with this - I switched today to a balanced cable for my headphones and huge improvement.

Thanks all for the suggestions.

Hi all. Looking for recommendations for a good balanced cable to use with above headphones with a Cayin iHA-6 headphone amp. Many thanks

This list is already deficient as I missed out the Stax phones!

Agree strongly with this. I have been out for a while as well. I have basically gone through all the threads and made a list of the phones that seem to come up the most and for what it is worth I had the following (this is not intended to cause an argument and I have likely missed some great...
