Yup. I listen to Ephemeralrift a lot, even some of the weirder stuff. It certainly helps me sleep. If you listen to too much, you start to build a tolerance and the effect lessens and fades away. To get the feeling back you need to take a break for a week to a month.

Does anybody know some things i could do to make Far cry 3 run faster(other than hardware upgrades)? I want to turn up a certain graphic setting that makes dot sights have less light bleed. I'm not at home right now, so i don't have the game with me. I just need to know what setting makes sights...

Quote: yes there was a k271 studio, but it got discontinued. A v6 would be a safe bet. pick the 7506 or v6 depending on the color you want, or the 7506 if you want gold plated jacks or don't care about the sticker color.

Sony's MDR V6 will be quite faithful studio headphones. Other alternatives would be Akg K271 and k240. The 271 are flatter and the 240s are upper bass and mid forward, but can be compensated with eq. I would lean towards v6 for build quality but the AKG for sound quality.

I'd say go for dt880 pro which is quite neutral, save for a very slight mid recession   But if you are adamant on getting a k series headphone, then go for the 702 based on the detachable cable alone.   Pro audio isn't actually a thing that exists. I could plug in .50$ earbuds into an...

from audio cubes, you can get the ath w1000x, but it is unlikely you will receive them by friday

Quote: Denon D5000 then. If you could find one in stock you would love it.

At 500 dollars go for the smeggy thunderpants.

my dad still thinks headphone amps are to deafen yourself, and can't absorb the fact that mini speakers need their mini amplifiers.

Quote: alright, thanks for the info.

Quote: i have the same question as you and I was wondering of it would be bad to connect modern sources (DVD, PS3, PS2, XBOX) to the tape monitor input?

MLE, amping's effect on soundstage isn't some weird increase in soundstage, but its a decrease in crosstalk coming from the previous amplifier. That said, the NwAvGuy O2 is a very good amp for gaming, but, only true idiots would specialize amps for different audio applications.

Quote: yes it should. the gain button is there for very stubborn headphones like the 770/880/990 600 ohm, or the other hard to drive headphones.

6 mw into 50 ohms doesnt look promising to me.

Congratulations. You now have your first complete rig. Remember to find some traction before it is too late, as Head fi is a slippery slope.

It would be rca male to 3.5mm male. If you have a soundcard without rca ports would be 3.5mm male to 3.5 mm male

Used beyerdynamic dt770 premium. You will not be dissapointed. It has a nice bassy sound, and has a 1up on every closed headphone mentioned here. Don't get he t70 though. It is thin and analytical.

It's even worse in the gaming world. In Need For Speed Most Wanted, The Who's Baba O'Riley and Won't get Fooled Again sounds like Sh!t. IT steps all over the songs and makes it appeal to the public. The remixer made Baba O'riley sound like a Daft Punk song, and Won't get fooled again into a b a...

Quote: On ebay there is a seller with a nice Custom Red O2 for 100 bucks. you will be able to use CMSS-3D with the amplifier, as pretty much every amplifier except for the Smyth Realiser does not have its own DSP..   Buying the O2 pre built from jds labs will run you at about 144 bucks...

I would recommend. the beyerdynamic DT770 PREMIUM. You can still probably get it like new in china, even though it was discontinued in 2010. the pros have bloated bass in comparison to premiums, and are more comfortable.

Quote: what is your budget, design preferences, and portable or desktop?   the  o2 is probably your best bet. i is designed to be objectively great. you will notice a wider soundstage from the reduced crosstalk. It's probably the best value for about 450 dollars from what nwavguy...
