    Wharfedale isodynamics

    I LOL'd. Thanks! Congratulations. BTW we know those aren't that awful by today's standard, hehe. They look just great, that odd, quite balanced design.

    *DUAL sound instruments

    So you mean, one of your ears is listening to the ER4 while the other to PX100? I just wonder because with ER4's isolation you'd hardly hear anything else from the outside (unless you drive the PX100 to the point of slight distortion). Well, you might hear some deep bass even with ER4 inside but...

    Beyerdynamic DT-100?

    I COULD. I WILL. But I have no access to my DT100 until the end of December. Just remind me. I posted a question regarding those in the Orthodynamic Roundup (one driver died on mine so I'm thinking about transplanting a smaller diameter ortho driver inside). Bump here if forget to and, even...

    Is it time to boycott cable companies?

    I think whatever any logic or thourough tests might reveal, those who want to believe will still buy the cables or medication from Laboratoires Boiron. The amount of potential customers deterred is negligible. All those believers take that so seriously I don't even dare cables are nonsense. All...

    Orthodynamic Roundup

    Are Fostex T5 and T7 orthodynamic? There's no information on their site really. Just regular postings on Sweetwater and Musician's Friend and such sites. I guess they're put RP in the name if those were orthos. BTW is there any BEYER DT150 owner around? On my DT100 one driver has blown a...

    Orthodynamic Roundup

    They have lots of nice pictures, like the K272 driver with foam / earpad uncovered, surrounded with the round passive backwave attenuators... Really a site you'll spend a few hours to discover just a little. I'm not just overly excited, that page is worth it. Maybe I should start a new thread...

    Orthodynamic Roundup

    Compared to ATH-AD700 or ATH-A500 the T50RP are a higher class product obviously. They may record the phones on cheap small omni electret condenser Panasonic capsules stuck near the ear canals of a living 'dummy' but still you could have an idea what some headphone's signatures are like...

    Orthodynamic Roundup

    It's not an YH-3. Neither it's a HP-2. I'll probably send them for a tour among the members once won. My bid on those is supposed to be a bit over what most of you would bid on them (yet 2/3 of what I've been asked for here in a certain FS listing). I see that this thread is a beast I've...

    Orthodynamic Roundup

    Ah thank you all. I've just cleared my PM box. It seems like Scompton will try to snipe Those. I have to say Those are some quite common orthos they're still for sale on head-fi forum so you shouldn't regret not bidding up the price. I'm thinking about sending those for a tour.

    Orthodynamic Roundup

    Should I withdraw the message? I really have no idea. I can't think clearly staying awake past bedtime because the headache doesn't let me sleep. I've got a flu. The thing I know is that I've wanted that model for over a month. No, it's not anything especially rare. EDIT: I don't even know if...

    Orthodynamic Roundup

    There's an ortho sold on that auction site. I've been PM'd by a headfier who was selling these but his price was over my budget. He was kind enough to inform me but I have no US account! What I want to beg for is: Could anyone help me snipe the headphones? In case I send him the money by...

    My PayPal account was stolen!

    I'd refuse to log into paypal or even my mail account on a non-encrypted Wifi network. Public PC's are just one more big risk. I worked as an admin at a cyber cafe, the boss's son installed a keylogger there. The other ones have been mentioned already: trojans, weak passwords, old Microsoft OS...

    I bought a Heed Audio Dactilus

    I'd be dissapointed by a DAC that small fitted into a case in which four of them would fit. Moreover, you said the power supply is a pretty light black box. Maybe just a simple SMPS. There's no filtration or multiple oscillators other features you'd even find in a higher-end soundcard. Looks...

    BTW Digitalmind, please remove direct links to the pictures. Put in just the url for them. Chinese pages are especially slow to load and might lock up an old browser, and there might be some suspicion in the eyes of chinese censorship for that amounts of interest.

    There are people who'd definitely try some of these. Some have the budget to fulfill their expectations, the others would gladly forget about famous brands and have some gear from China. There are quite many chinese head-fiers yet not enough feedback!

    JVC harx700 - a poor mans ath-a900!!

    It's quite likely that the RX900 have bigger diameter drivers, therefore a little deeper bass and less colored sounds while retaining clarity in highs, more coherent sound but a similar signature due to enclosure similarities... Are the specs identical? I guess someone should GET BOTH, OPEN...

    Beyerdynamic DT-100?

    Hey, I own a pair with one driver blown. Infinite resistance, unrepairable. Quite sad that I haven't heard them properly amped yet. I loaned them to my friend for a live session recording and somehow he had the volume up while he plugged them in. I don't think an SFI driver would fit in without...

    Anyone Use These Customs (Very Interesting Cable) ADDED PICTURE

    What's the pricing? CPE certainly has one of the least informative websites ever. I'm thinking about sending them a mail to ask what model they'd recommend for hi-fi music reproduction but having seen their site I doubt there will be a serious reply.

    Losing my sense of Audio Perception

    If you listen to the same stuff over and over, you must have it imprinted in memory. Your brain may be remembering the stuff you normally would hardly hear with worse gear. At least - it would be my case. I remember a girl who couldn't read properly. She had her own storybook at the class and...

    Are studios recording new cd's way too loud? I'm hearing clipping all over the place

    Loudness / overcompression / clipping is the main reason why vinyl sounds better. Not that the medium allows for more resolution, it's just that it doesn't let you press an overly loud recording (increased wear, worse sound reproduction etc).

    Are studios recording new cd's way too loud? I'm hearing clipping all over the place

    ...Among hundreds of other reasons! We must contribute to the collapse of the current big 4's hegemony. Music should be art, not industry! CDs have been made to allow a broader dynamic range, not to avoid fearing that the turntable's needle would pop out of the groove when you play your music!
