I bit the bullet :grin: You really weren't kidding about how solid this thing is. You'd have to knock over the entire table for it to fall off. That and the overall quality of the stand make this well worth the price. Really glad I didn't cheap out!

@waveSounds Yeah the black SilverStone one is going for $66 on Amazon with free shipping which is around how much the Woo Audio one goes for used so it's definitely tempting! I was hoping to spend $50 max since it's just a friggin' stand but I rather be safe than sorry, specially since I have a...

That one's my second choice from the Woo Audio. Still a bit more than I'd like to spend on a stand but there doesn't seem to be anything else apart from the cheap ass Amazon ones.

Taken a couple days ago Would really appreciate recommendations for a decent dual stand that wont break the bank like the Woo Audio one

  I had a pretty bad experience with Ultrasone in the US, they sent me back my headphones without repairing them twice in a row, it was a nightmare   I also had a pretty bad experience with Land Audio Services which placed an order wrong and kept my headphones for over a month then refused to...

  well yeah "directly".. I'm pretty sure I was redirected to an office somewhere in the middle east which was a mess   I've had good of luck with the guys over in California but apparently they only do support and repairs for AKG professional and not the consumer products   and it's the...

after lots of reaserching I decided to go with the Focal Spirit Pros which should be here early next week, tons of raving about them on Gearslutz, a few peeps even said that they're better for mixing than their HD 650s   going to return the Beats Pro and get ATH M50s instead for the time...

so my AKG K550s broke under warranty and AKG will only replace them for the K545, rep said they were "much better" but since he was a moron (insisted that the K550s cable was detachable for one and that I should twist and pull it) I went to Best Buy's Magnolia to try them out and... no   the...

Quote:   that what I've usually done, then I end up with something mediocre sounding with features I never use and $500+ out of my pocket   there's actually a lot of talk about the DACport on Gearslutz so this might be my ticket plus a small recording interface for around $100 to $150...

this one looks interesting   http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/centrance-dacport   there's even one for sale on here for $250   http://www.head-fi.org/t/667779/centrance-dacport   or new under warranty for less than $295  ...

Quote:   I actually found a guy on Gearslutz that uses one with Live but was having problems. I know Audiophile equipment isn't usually the most neutral, but that doesn't mean that there's no professional grade USB DACs out there does it? the problem I'm having with "professional"...

https://www.facebook.com/invadermusic http://soundcloud.com/invadermusic   can you take me seriously now? if not then please leave this thread alone   I make electronic music for a living, I don't need a RECORDING interface, is that too hard to understand?   I need a professional...

here's a list of interfaces I've gone through in the past 6-7 years   Alesis I/O 2 - absolutely horrible Presonus Firepod FP10 - crappy but decent bang for buck Apogee Duet - beautiful, probably the best interface I've owned Focusrite Saffire PRO 24 - bought it just to give it a shot...

Quote:   I already have an Audio 2, it's great for performing but the headphone amp is decent at best   and I've tried a Focusrite Saffire PRO 24 before which is around $300 for 4x6, wasn't impressed and the bundled software was messy

Quote:   with the Beats Studio? no way, a bit more than half was usually plenty loud   with the AKG K702s max volume on the MPB would not even tickle, with the AKG K550s max volume is a bit too much   half way on the Apogee ONE is very loud for the Studios, all the way up is just...

Quote:   I NEVER had my Beats Studio distort with Dubstep with iPhone or MBP at max volume, only time they ever distorted was if I accidentally had my ONE cranked up when plugged in   I think my Studios were my longest lasting headphones, the DT-880 Pros and AKG k702s I owned blew...

this is the closest thing there is to an Apogee ONE   http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/motu-microbook-ii-audio-interface   for $250 you get 4 inputs and 6 outputs, this means I'd be using 1/6th of the interface and wasting around $200 and not getting the DA and headphone amp...

Quote:   I've gone through many of those in the past but never found anything quite as good at the Apogee interfaces   There's really nothing on the market, other than the Apogee ONE, that would really make sense for me to use more than a portable USB DAC/AMP and a cheap recording...

Quote:   no, I just didn't think they sounded as good as the Studios   that does NOT mean they are lesser quality, I just didn't like them as much although I would consider them over the Beats because of the lack of NC and batteries

Quote:   I think the best cheaper alternative are the ATH M50s which have a very similar frequency response (check out the charts on headphones.com) but they definitely not sound quite as good as the Beats IMO. They are definitely big bang for the buck if you get them for a good price though.

Quote:   Thanks man, and these are definitely for bass heavy music of course so I would not recommend them for anything other than that!

Quote:   The main problem I had with the K702 was that my tracks ended up sounding too busy in the low end and did not sound as good as they could in clubs, they sounded killer on the headphones though.   The Beats gave me a better idea of what I had to do to get things sounding tight...

I had a horrible experience with Land Audio last year. I sent my K702s to be repaired under warranty and the guy placed the repair order wrong and kept my headphones for over a month. I kept calling and emailing him but he would not do anything more than tell me he was still waiting for the...

Quote:   http://soundcloud.com/invadermusic   anything before the "To Lose Disguise" remix was made with the Beats Studio, starting from "Moomvader"   before that it was all K702s   and if you're not into the hard stuff, I also made this 10 track Nu Disco album for a sync...
