Not sure, sorry. There's a few posts on using the BD pads in this thread - maybe worth a search.     Again, not sure. I hate removing and re-attaching the pads on the HE-400 so I don't want to measure it, but I'm sure those kind of specs are around if you look.

  Thanks. I'll continue to experiment...

Hifi Man Velour pads and apparently the Beyerdynamic DT880 pads.   I find the Hifi Man pads to be on the hard side, if I hadn't already bought the Hifi Man velour pads, I would have gone for the DT880 version.

  That's the main problem I've had so far with EQ'ing. I haven't been able to EQ without it sounding as though it's been EQ'd! By that I mean the balance seems out of wack, or clarity is lost in the high-end. So far I'm presuming that's due to my poor EQ skills; I've tried other people's...

  I hadn't planned on writing a negative review. I've done Jergmod Pt I & II and played around with EQ a bit - but not enough to reach a solid conclusion (which is why I wouldn't be writing a review yet, myself). My cable broke - really easily - and I don't think this is too uncommon. Had it...

  Which neg reviews? If the headphones need modification to meet their exceptional ratings then I think that should be highlighted more. I think post #1 is pretty outstanding in its content (and brevity), with mention of jergpad mod already there, but some specifics/links on EQ'ing may be...

  Haven't contacted Schiit Audio yet. Instead, I've sent an email to the authorised reseller here in Australia. Awaiting their response. I've tried another wall plug - no dice. I only have the one wall wart.

  +1 for reading a negative review. I'm not crazy about my HE-400s, and since getting them I've given others a listen to mixed responses... I did a lot of research here on Head-Fi and I personally think they're overrated and there are too many overly positive reviews (and the detractors are not...

My Magni lost power the other night and now it doesn't turn on.   I'm wondering if my setup influenced the problem...   PC (USB) -> Modi (RCA) -> Dussun T6 amp (RCA, Record Out) -> Magni -> HE-400   Any ideas?

Quote:   I use a playlist panel in my arrangement, so I just click on the playlist and then start a song from that playlist...     Not sure where you'd be missing the mark... Perhaps you can show us a screenshot of your setup and why you can't start a playlist.

I'm having some trouble understanding parts of this guide. I think I understand how SineGen is used, that is: finding peaks, adding different amplitudes of that peak frequency, and finally comparing them to some reference frequency (@ 0dB) to 'calculate' the 'correct offset' for the peaks. Once...

Quote:   Sounds interesting. I find the HiFi Man velour pads kind of hard and not fantastically comfortable. May I trouble you for a picture of the Beyerdynamic pads on the HE-400s?

Quote: The Clip and Fuze look like nice little budget players. What is it that sets the X3 so far apart from them?

Quote:   Cost is really my only consideration. When I see something has more features than I need, I wonder if there's something simpler which will do what I want at a lower price (and perhaps more efficiently).

Glad to meet everyone today and get some exposure to the different equipment. As mentioned, I only got my kit last month and hadn't done much listening so I felt a bit unprepared for today. Nonetheless, I got some good listening in.   I was quite impressed with the bass (and comfort) of...

Quote: Ok, cool, cool. Well I'll revert to my previous plans and try to get there just after 12pm.

Hi guys,   I'm still planning to attend with my modest kit. If you guys aren't arriving til 1-2, I'm thinking I may as well do the same then...  

For anyone else looking, I SoundSwitch very useful. Simple program which allows you to define which devices to toggle between and also to set the toggle button (but I can't seem to use Scroll Lock ). Another alternative which I found useful was this guy's article...

Quote:   Thanks mate. Enjoy the meet.

Quote:   True enough, I could delete the songs from my playlist.. But, while this may sound silly, I like the completeness of having all of my songs in the library (or playlist, if they're part of an album - which they almost invariably are), even if I don't play them. I don't really like...

Does anyone know of a plugin which enables tracks to be skipped with a graphic button, like in iTunes (see image below)?     I could only find this plugin: http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_skip. It allows you to skip tracks based on a wide range of fields, such as rating or...

Sorry to do this at the last moment, but I have to pull out too... I'm coming down with a bad cold (thanks Dad) and I don't want to infect everyone and their headphones at the meet...   Hope it all goes well.. Look forward to hearing how it goes.

Quote:   I didn't meant to imply that you implied I abused them :P I see what you're saying.   I purchased the hp this month (2nd of June), first unboxed them on the 7th, I believe. So they're very new. At the bottom is this page are the warranty conditions of the shop I purchased...

Quote:   Ok, I appreciate the recommendation - I'll look into that.   I wouldn't say it really got much of a tug. All I did was tilt my neck to stretch and then suddenly my right sound was gone; obviously it caught on something... It's possible they got a few slight tugs before that...
