Your not the only one feeling this way.

This new headphone by OPPO is beginning to sound like an industry wide deal changer to me. Could it put headphone amp makers out of business?   Does anyone know where these headphones are manufactured? they sure look like Quality Control was a top priority. Looking forward to more comments.

After changing out the transformer, my Extreme is in use almost everyday with no issues. I plan on keeping it. Pictures of my Extreme are still in recent images.

Quote: Thanks for the info. i was beginning to think I was the only one with this issue, no one else was complaining. I will look into JRiver. But. I'm still having the same issues playing mp3's in Windows Media Player?

I've been listening to my Magni-Modi since yesterday. I'm very happy with sound using Grado HF2's. I'm using this set-up thru my desktop computer w/ Windows7.I'm new to using flac and mp3 files, and my question is. When listening to either flac or mp3 files, i'm getting short pauses during...

Quote: Thanks for the link, went ahead and ordered from them. Attached are some photos of before and after my amp was fixed.     This amp sounds better now than it ever has. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quote: Yes, I already have the edcor transformer (painted blue bells), it took about 3 weeks to get after placing the order.  

Quote: After being in contact with Jack about purchasing one his transformers, and being told he no longer makes and sells them, I'm not too sure he would still be selling covers for them. He was my first choice for a transformer. His website states effective immediately we no longer...

Quote: Help needed. Does anyone know of other sources for a transformer cover on my stock Extreme? The link above is in China, and I would like to deal with a U.S. company, if possible. I will be putting in the edcor transformer mentioned in this thread. Any help is much appreciated...

Sorry, late to this thread.   So, this headphone is on a pre-order basis, and just now shipping first lot? How long is the waiting list?

I used Cardas cable on my 650's for a long time, then I switched to Stephan Audio Art (Equinox) now I'm much happier.

If you have bought Jumbo Pads for the HF-2, do you prefer them? Or do you go back to the original pads? Thanks, JD

So, are there any conspiracy theories regarding what's happened to Mikhail or where he has gone?

Good News Post Well I finally quit procrastinating and drove up to Brooks Berdan in Monrovia, for a check-up on my standard Extreme. After opening up the amp, the only thing that needed attention was a resistor too close to the board, raised it up a little and re-soldered it. Transformer...
