Sorry but thats not what I'm hearing when I use the "straight" audio feature.  That is the one I play with but I feel as if my positional audio goes to s**t with my yamaha now. Its louder but I'm trading loud for accuracy of directional audio imo. The first 100 to 150hrs were amazing with that...

I've dug through all the menu's, googled like crazy and spent hrs digging through forums and I can't find a way to turn it off!? I've tried all the presets and nothing sounds good for gaming. Maybe its just the fact that my receiver isn't properly amping my AKGs? Thats why I'm looking for the...

I can and I've tried. Its the silent cinema headphone technology thats messing with my sound mix. It amps the signal and changes the mix no matter how I hook it up. I can't turn it off. It automatically turns on when you plug in headphones. I guess I just prefer dolby headphone to game with my...

What amp did you use/recommend for the Q701's and what mix amp did you use/recommend? I need to use voice chat often when I play.   I play xbox 360/ps3 (soon to bee the new console) with a set of Q701s directly from my astro mixamp pro but I find the sound is lacking in power. In all my...

All I know is i can't wait to get my pair of vsd1le's. I'm still new to the head-fi world so just to play around I got both the vsd1's and vsd1s's to compare and I can defiantly say I hear a difference after 100+ hrs of burn in. I can't wait to hear the Le's because my ears are confused. So far...

Thanks, I completely missed that on your profile. I can't wait to spend some time reading that.

Is their any review like this for headphones because that was an amazing amount of info in one place. Thank you for putting this together.

I stumbled upon these kits http://www.augustica.com/  randomly while looking for different DIY options and was wondering what you guys think? I can't really find any info other then what the manufacturer  gives or anybody who has built or reviewed one yet. From what I gather they're a pretty new...

I'm a very green to the tube amp world and was wondering if the mk3 would be a good pairing with a set of akg q701's or ath-700x's? I do like the functionality of having a headphone/speaker amp for my first tube set up and I cant complain about the price either. I'm hoping that this amp might be...

Personally I'm going with the Xbox and its simply a matter of trusting Microsoft's software over Sony. Yes the PS4 has slightly better hardware but I think Microsoft optimizes their software better to the hardware. Just watch for the problems that will arise with multi platform releases like...

I will defiantly try this out tonight. ****, this means if it works I'm going to have to color optimize my TV again lol. Thanks. 

I think you hit the nail on the head with what type of tube amp that was. We literally set a pair of Sony bookshelf speakers on fire because I didn't believe it could do it and oh boy it did. As far as what the amp actually is we both have no idea. All we know is that it was bought in England in...

 I'll start by saying that I'm a new audiophile so I'll apologize for being a little green to this. So here's my dilemma. I've recently purchased a pair of AKG Q701 and initially I was a little disappointed with there performance until a friend of mine (that knows a little more then I do about...
