    Fostex T50RP Still Relevant For A Mod As A Business ???

    not sure if you know but yeah damping is about mass. but often you only need about 25%ish coverage to get rid of 95%+ of vibration. many people go overboard, especially with cars and trucks. not only does using less save weight, for an application like an automobile it is a huge saving in...

    Fostex T60RP

    for anybody interested I finally got my topping D30 pro. I have it connected with XLR to the A30 pro and the stronger signal really makes the T60s shine now. I probably do not need high gain anymore. I am also quite surprised with the D30 pro itself. I had low expectations but turns out to...

    Fostex T50RP Still Relevant For A Mod As A Business ???

    do you think you have the ears for it? and the fortitude? you could try it as a hobby and see what happens. I would not expect to be able to make a living the first few years of course. if you have the time and dedication to stick with it a few years who knows what could happen. you could...

    Fostex T50RP 50th Anniversary Edition

    I bet someone here would be willing to buy the cables and ship to you at cost or low fee. probably still cost >100 but not much. the T60 fanboy in me also wants to convey you bought the wrong headphone. lol. jk. I'm glad amazon dropped the ball on my t50/50s which got me the straight...

    if it's a small company I would try contacting them and asking for a separate invoice for customs. this being a custom cable it would not be hard to lower the value on paper. it would also be low risk at customs. I do not know how EU works but for Mexico you would ask to lower the declared...

    Fostex T50RP 50th Anniversary Edition

    not a big fan of that song either. just saying the t20 bass thumps hard and fast with not much treble. lol. the T60 have a really great soundstage, nice airyness, great for gaming, great for music, a little light on bass. may or may not be bright depending on your tastes. they're on the...

    Fostex T50RP 50th Anniversary Edition

    hopefully somebody with 5050s and T60s will chime in as they are somewhat similar but not quite. The Tx0s all use the same driver but are tuned to open, semi and closed so vary according to that. I have the T20s which have very delicious bass but imo aren't a really good all around good hp and...

    have there been any T60 anniversary impressions? I don't think bret ever gave one. I got my A30 pro about a week ago. T60s are a different beast when you have ample power on tap.

    by baffle do you mean the part that holds the driver? I have some blue tack on the way I was going to damp the baffle with and experiment with the vents. I am considering getting some 1mm eva foam for the back of the cup. gotta slow the spending for a month or two. just spent $600 on an...

    does opening up the vents automatically give the T60s bass? compared to the T20s the T60s don't have any bass. lol.

    hpa = headphone amp. I forgot to add I found out the answer on asr in a topping thread. I have an a30 pro on the way and looking for a d30 pro. I didn't know it was discontinued and the last 3 or 5 weeks missed out ~$200+- used sales.

    anybody here have a topping d30 pro for sale? missed some good deals the last 3 weeks. I've checked headfi, hifishark, asr and avexchange on reddit. most for sale from EU. so my t20s came in today. noticeably smaller. clamping force is tight. day and night difference from the t60 making...

    t60 thread is quiet so going to ask here. I ordered a topping a30 pro hpa. It has XLR, 4.4 and 6.35 outputs, but all are SE. I just want to be sure I can use my 4.4 balanced cable in a SE output. I forgot what situation you're not supposed to do something as it can blow an amp. I saw zeos...

    scratch. I see zeos using argon t60s with a30 pro so I should be fine. just to be sure, I have 4.4 cable. the a30 pro hpa has XLR and 4.4, but both are SE output. is it safe to continue using my 4.4 balanced cable in a SE output? I am asking because maybe I am not googling correctly and I...

    welp. my AHG pads came a day early. didn't really notice a huge change to sound profile but after some listening realized it brought the treble down a little. bass unnoticeable difference. still hot but today is a little warmer and it will only get hotter next 10 months. lol. if UPS wasn't...

    FiiO Q5S TC...

    iirc, the type c version had a limited run because of chip shortages. there are about a dozen or so micro usb versions on ebay for $2-300 USD. I would keep checking ebay and classifieds in audio forums like head-fi.

    The stock pads aren't that bad. I've been tolerant because it's been cool here lately. need to find something cooler before it gets hot.

    oye. could you elaborate on these pads please? how does the perforated and non perforated compare to the stock pad? I think I have settled on the perforated AHG but curious if I should buy a mayflower kit because I will have to tweak to accommodate the new pad. I have tamed the highs...

    I was going to update here tonight. So my lubricant came in today and I was able to get some serious listening in today with no anger issues. lol. as of right now, I'm thinking and hoping the distortion is detail none of my other equipment has shown. I'm still trying to find some more audio...

    posted this in t60 thread but this one is more active so hoping for some advice... welp, after some critical listening last night and making sure the t60s had enough power I have come to the conclusion my right driver rattles. going back to ~feb 2019 in this (T60RP) thread a post mentioned...

    Topping G5

    I only own the G5 but the Q15 should be considered if you really want some playback buttons, and the screen along with hw EQ, or even the desktop mode. but if you want to save some bucks the G5 is very barebones but so damn good for what it is. I'm sure some people would pay the $400 if the...
