As the heading reads, I'm considering the HD 800S for my BHA-1. I listen mostly to rock.... Is this a good match?

Heya!!   Looking for advice regarding which balanced cable to use for Audeze LCD-2 / Bryston BHA-1 combo.   4-pin XLR stereo or double 3-pin XLR?  Are there any significant differences if any??

Jim Kelly is so damn funky in Enter the Dragon   and these cans look friggin' awesome (pre 1973).

I've heard of people using this insulated silver wire for their DIY tonearm projects.   Has anyone here used it for a DIY headphone cable?    Link here http://www.a-msystems.com/v-35-silver-wire-pfa-insulated.aspx

Hello.  Looking for a full size/desktop solid state amp to mate with the ATH-M50S.   It will be used primarily for vinyl playback and my budget is roughly $1000.   Cheers

When will they ever stop. Does Hollywood have no shame? I know it's a true story "in their own words" but I have a few of my own words for this film...Kiss my boney *****!! I believe some of the profits should go to the victims, the homeless, whomever....this is such an embarrassment to be...

Just a few questions about balanced connections. To my understanding, in order to have a "balanced" system, the amp or source must be fully balanced internally....please correct me if I'm wrong. 1) What are the benefits of having a balanced system vs. unbalanced? 2) If the headphone cable...

Please help. I'm looking for some leather replacement pads and would prefer to buy within the US or Canada. Besides Audio Cubes, I can't seem to find any other sources. TIA

I was asking myself why so many of Head-Fi'ers own so many different "expensive" headphones and why they can't just settle on one or two. Is it that difficult to make a headphone that sounds true to the actual music the way it was intended to be heard?

Just wondering if anyone has come across any fake brand name headphones. If they exist, which model or brand should we look out for. We all know of the usual suspects: - cables (Cardas, I've seen it) - tubes (Siemens, TFK's) - software (videos, cd's) - clothing - sporting goods - etc...

I've read mixed comments regarding which is easier to drive. Some say that a headphone with 35 ohms is harder to drive than one at 600 ohms. I was auditioning some cans at a store and a Grado SR1 was "louder" than a Sennheiser HD650 (using the same amp and source).....I'm confused

I will be putting my order in for the MPX3, I've decided that this is the amp I want. Which brand phones will be most compatible and work best this tube design. I like the sonic characteristics of Grado, Audio Technica and Beyer. My budget is under $1000 and I listen to rock, vocals and...

From searching the FS ads for phones and amps, I've noticed that most of the asking prices are not far off from the new retail prices (generally less 20-25%). Compared to used components that are "non head-fi" like speakers, turntables, power amps, line preamps, cables, etc...the going resale...

I'm new to the headphone thing and will be using a turntable as the source. Looking to spend around $1500 for both pieces. Should I spread the funds 50/50? What do you think?

Hello!! This is my first post so please welcome me. I'm going to explore the world of headphones & amps for my home stereo. I have some idea of what I want but would like someone to steer me in the right direction. From the info gathered here, I will probably buy the Sennheiser HD650 and need...
