Hello!! Quick question folks, can you differentiate between Apple Music @ 256 kbps AAC and FLAC lossless 24 bit offered by Primephonic, in terms of sound quality? I am from India and Tidal is not available here.

Hello friends, I listen to orchestral classical music. I have the Bowers and Wilkins PX7, which I like. However, I do find the PX7 to sound a touch polite and am looking to expand my headphones collection by adding a second pair of Bluetooth cans. I prefer highly resolving headphones with a...

Beyerdynamic T 1: https://north-america.beyerdynamic.com/t-1.html • Grandiose three-dimensional soundstage of impressive scale • Excellent and precise stereo image • Superb detail retrieval • Bass and treble sound very good and the midrange is outstanding! • Great dynamics •...

Hi,   I have never handled XLR cables in the past and am familiar only with the RCA type. Could someone kindly explain to me how to attach and detach XLR cables? Do they have a push n click locking system? I fear damaging the sockets while connecting / disconnecting.   Best regards...

Hi All,       I have a Burson Soloist SL that is failing and cutting out in the left channel. For headphones, I have the K702 and the T1. My speakers are the Dali Zensor 3. To my ears, both the T1 and the K702 sound good, but the K702 appears to be tonally more neutral and closer to the...

Hi,       Why is it that a majority of Blu-Ray players and DVD players have 2 pin AC power plugs, without Earth (Ground) terminals? Most premium CD players on the other hand have proper 3 pin power plugs with ground terminals. I have noticed that using a non-grounded disc spinner with an...

Hello All,                 My dad gifted me this wonderful setup.     Cambridge Audio 650C -> Cambridge Audio 650A -> Wharfedale Diamond 10.1

Hello folks,       As I start off another work week, I am curious to know if you ever feel that you are short of dough when it comes to buying headphones.   Whether, you crave to earn more so that you can get the next high end disc spinner in your armoury.   Whether you feel that you...

Hello,       I am back after a while. I have a question. How do I use the bundled cable manager (that coiled rubbery thing) to tie the huge cable of my Beyerdynamic T1?

Hi,     I happen to work in the IT industry and am headed to the States on a short-term assignment. I have one problem. I do not know how to cook. This is not strange as here in India domestic help is cheap and women do most of the cooking. This might be a strange thread but I am here...

Curious to know… it is known as one of the best venues for classical music.

Folks,    I might have become somewhat of a broken record by preaching how ordinary the Beyerdynamic Tesla T1 is.   Thankfully, I finally discovered what the T1 is capable of.   It's been a long journey but I have to admit: the T1 is an excellent headphone.   So what was wrong...

Hello,         I am over the top with this combo in a number of ways... those who keep bashing the K-702 for fake soundstage, bad bass and plastic mids will be surprised with what the Burson does to them!   I was listening to some large scale orchestral (Brahms' Hungarian Dances and...

Acix…. Where are you? I cannot believe this but I have to admit: My Beyer T1 arrived yesterday and my K-702 betters them in a number of ways. I am too tired to elaborate and I will surely write a detailed review… The Beyer has its strengths… but to say that the T1 is better than the K-702 is...

Nice face-off, eh? Opinions invited…

Hi, My dad is presently in Singapore on an official tour. I am thinking of asking him to pick a pair of Beyerdynamic T1s for me. I called the Singapore distributor, but failed to get through. Where can one buy the T1 in Singapore? Quick help needed, my dad leaves tomorrow!

Hi,                 As I write this, my mind is being shredded to bits from the contradictory and confusing reviews of the HD800 and T1.   In my review of the K702, (http://www.head-fi.org/forum/newestpost/494554) my principal gripe with the AKG was its timid mid-range.   To my ears...

Hello,                 Well for me, it’s Pataburd. I just love the natural flow of his posts and his eloquent descriptions.

Hello,                 I am beginning to lose my patience on AKG. I wonder… when will a K70x successor come out? Not that I dislike the K702, but the time to raise the bar and set a benchmark has come. I see little activity on their forums. Are they snoozing? Hello AKG!

Hi,                 A lot many threads here which compare headphones in terms of their midrange goodness often speak exclusively of relative performance with vocals.   While I definitely agree that vocals are indeed a good indicator of midrange accuracy, the real challenge is the correct...

Hi,                 Here are a couple of tracks to test your K70x cans with! Mozart:   http://rapidshare.com/files/396708377/11_Track_11.wma.html   Wieniawski: http://rapidshare.com/files/396708586/05_Wieniawski_Violin_Concerto_No._2_-_II_-_Romance.wma.html   Pay special...

Hi,                 I posted a very detailed review of the AKG K702 and Burson HA-160 at   http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/494554/review-burson-headphone-amp-160-and-akg-k702-combo   That is as much a headphone review as it is an amplifier review, so I decided to mention it here as...

Introduction:   Burson Audio (http://bursonaudio.com/) is an emerging Australian company, which designs and manufactures high end audio gear. In a thoroughly competitive market, where there is no dearth of choices when it comes to audio components, Burson designers claim to build their...

Hello,                 I usually listen @ 7-8 clicks on the stepped attenuator, but I find the AKG to really come alive at 10 clicks (~12 o’ clock).   This is the position, where low level details start to express themselves and the mid-range becomes life-like. (With orchestral classical...

Hello! I love clarinets and their sweet, lush tone… the way they cut through large orchestras… May I ask as to which part of the audible range is mostly involved in rendering clarinets? (Fundamental and harmonics)… Mids / Upper Mids (4000-6000 Hz)
