I've narrowed it down to 3 contenders: the Heir Audio 8.A, The Unique Melody Miracle, and the Jerry Harvey JH16. My preferred genres are mostly drum and bass (neurofunk like Spor and Phace and some Pendulum), house, and the occasional dubstep track. Would the new Roxanne from JH also be good?  ...

I have a question: does the type of needle/cartridge affect the SQ when recording?   Thanks.

I don't really have anything good. I have an Ion TTUSB10 turntable, but that will probably give me even worse quality rips than what I have right now. I was looking at the Rega RP1, it looks like a good turntable. But like I said, I have absolutely no experience with turntables or vinyl or...

Mostly drum and bass, Spor, Pendulum, Noisia, etc. Some of their older music can only be found in vinyl, so I want to rip them to FLAC or wav. Right now I only have crap VBR rips. Anything better would be good, but I'd prefer at least 48kHz/16bit. I'm a total noob with all this analog stuff, so...

Will the digiZoid ZO2 work well with the Sennheiser Amperiors? I know they have a low impedance, but I am going to use the ZO for EQ purposes, mostly. Will it be to loud, or noisy?

How does the AIAIAI TMA-1 headphone compare to the HD25-1 II? I quote myself: Quote:   So which headphone do you think will work better for these genres?

Thanks for the recommendation, but I think I've finally come to a decision. I've settled on the Sennheiser HD25-1 II, as it seems to be one of the most recommended and renowned portable headphones. I have one question, though: will the Sennheisers run well out of an iPhone, or will I have to buy...

Bumping the s*** out of this

Also, can anyone recommend any good neutral sounding headphones? I can boost the bass all I want with the digiZoid ZO2.

Hi.   As can be seen in some of my other posts here, I like the sound of the AKG K77's. I think they have great bass, but not overpowering, but with slightly recessed mids and treble. The sound signature overall is appealing to me. Can any other Head-Fi'ers who own or have heard the K77's...

Quote:   Bump?

Hi, I'm trying to decide on a pair of headphones mostly for casual music playing, and I'm going to run them straight out of my iPhone and/or computer. I'm not a basshead or audiophile, and I don't think I'll really notice any subtle recessions or differences, as I have been using mostly the...

Hello again. I, after researching headphones extensively online, have decided on buying some modded Audio Technica ATH-M50's with removable cables. However, I'm not too sure I will prefer the stock cable, simply because it isn't very portable, so I want to get a different cable. I've boiled it...

Thank you. I am now almost completely convinced, both from the sheer amount of 5-star reviews online, and recommendations here on Head-Fi. All I really want is some headphones for listening on the go, not for any DJ'ing or mixing. From your post, it seems you like them as portable cans as well...

Head Size: Small Head Shape: Relatively flat top, I suppose. Hair style: Thick, sort of long hair. Ear size/shape: Flat, and small-ish. Heat tolerance: I don't really sweat around my ears at a temperature of around 50 degrees, but around 75-80 I do. Clamping tolerance: Medium...

Should I have put this in the advice thread?

Hi.   I am sort of new to the headphone business, as I have been using the vanilla Apple earbuds for a couple years now, until I bought the AKG K77 as an upgrade. I'm very impressed with the sound, especially the bass, as I like to listen to a lot of electronic music, including DnB, dubstep...
