    LD MKIVSE - Am I hearing undesired distortion?

    Hey all,   Had my LD MKIVSE for 5 days so far, generally loving the sound after the initial issue I had with hum died down!  The amp is being driven by the headphone output on my HDA X-Plosion soundcard.   I am finding with some kinds of music, usually music with a lot of low frequency...

    Little Dot MKIV SE buzzing left channel

    Sorry, I should have said.  The first thing I tried was swapping the sides of both sets of tubes.  The buzzing remains on the left channel.  The buzz doesn't change volume with the volume dial but turning up the volume can make it go away. The pins don't look corroded but that doesn't seem to...

    Little Dot MKIV SE buzzing left channel

    Have since noticed that if I press down on the left driver tube, the buzzing goes away. Tapping the unit while music is playing effects the left channel at all volumes, but it only continually buzzes with a low or no volume.  It is possible to set a volume where the music is just loud enough...

    Little Dot MKIV SE buzzing left channel

    Hey all,   I just yesterday took ownership of a LD MKIV SE, bought direct from David@little-tube.   Unpacked it and noticed the volume knob was very loose, but have learnt a 1.5mm allen will fix that.   But sadly I am having an issue where the left channel starts buzzing.  It usually...

    Sorry, please recommend a set of cans for me

    Well, they are here! Had two days with them so far, and it must be said, they sound amazing. Initially, they sounded way to bright, but that has started to ease off now I am very happy with them, except one thing....there are very slight scratches on the left cup. I worry that they will grow...

    Few weeks in the life of ATH-A900's.

    Nice to see that your all enjoying your A900's Mine are on the way. According to the tracking, they were flown over to HEATHROW DATAPOST MERCHANDISE on the 9th Jan. Nothing else has appeared on the tracker yet. I can only guess that I will be listening to my new cans by the end of this week...

    Sorry, please recommend a set of cans for me

    kramer5150 Bit daft to ask someone to consider a set of cans just after they have purchased other ones, isnt it Glad you like your DT770's, I've heard good things about them in the bass department, but the A900's are good at bass, and also good at mids and highs, while having a large...

    Sorry, please recommend a set of cans for me

    Well, I heard that the A1000 pads are of higher quality than the A900's. If this is the case, I will switch them over, then sell the A900 pads on eBay or here I ordered them both at once as shipping from audiocubes is expensive, and takes a long time. If the A1000 pads aren't worth the...

    Sorry, please recommend a set of cans for me

    Isolation isn't really important, as its usually quiet around when i'm listening to music anyway. If others hear my music when I am playing it, then thats not my problem, heh. The whole reason that I started listening to music with headphones so much is because the rest of my family don't like...

    Sorry, please recommend a set of cans for me

    I'm lost again Bah, I was set on the A900's lol. I am not after pounding over the top bass, but I would like headphones capable of taking bass without keeling over whenever the bass is turned up. But it needs to sound proper (againt the lack of technical words, heh) I wear headphones for...

    Sorry, please recommend a set of cans for me

    Hey again. I've now got enough money to buy a new set of cans. Before I do, I'd like to ask one last time if there is anything apart from the A900 for good soundstage and bass? Open or closed doesn't matter, as long as they sound brill for the money, and can be worn for hours without...

    a500/a900 Pads don't last long.

    Are they all like this? That looks really worrying I don't wanna go buying a set of them if thats going to be happening to them a few months down the line

    Sorry, please recommend a set of cans for me

    Shouldnt let my options get too open really, I'll be here forever deciding, heh. I can't buy them for a month yet anyway, am in between jobs so got no money for 4 weeks :'( Am trying to find some pics of the A900's, but not having much luck Everything about them seems really good so...

    Sorry, please recommend a set of cans for me

    Taken a look at the A900's, they will cost £105 if I ordered them from Audio Cubes, providing they ship to the UK 40ohm impedence is nice, since they will occasionally be used with personal cd players etc, but mainly connected to my sony seps system. I will take a look at the senns...

    Sorry, please recommend a set of cans for me

    Hey all Sorry for not excessively searching before making this post, but I am a bit upset at the moment, lol. My Philips HP-890's finally decided to snap near the rubber headband hole on the left can. They have had a hairline crack since I got them, but I never returned them They have got...

    Which: Technics RPF880 or Philips HP890

    Nice! They came early They seem easily driven by my amplifier, thank god, recent sony amps seem to have a reasonably wussy headphone output Anyone know of a decent, loud and cheap headphone amp to run thru my headphone out? They are really comfortable, but I do feel that the headband...

    Which: Technics RPF880 or Philips HP890

    I am leaning towards the Philips more all of a sudden, perhaps because they are big headphones, have a removable cable, and have a more professional look to them...also because they have been discussed a lot here I am itching to just order them now, but I really wanna hear something on the...

    Which: Technics RPF880 or Philips HP890

    Was the automatic headband on the Philips ok for you, or did you find that the weight of the phones made them drop down a bit? Whats the bass response like in them, If the RPF880's are anything like the 800's, then they will be good, but I am slightly put off philips by their crappy cordless...

    Which: Technics RPF880 or Philips HP890

    So, if you was to get either of the sets I mentioned, which would you choose? And why? I have heared that the build quality of the philips is a bit poor, but they dont look it, but the Technics do look well built Let me know

    Hey all. Aint been ere in a while, but came here on the lookout for headphones, expecting to see loads of talk about those technics, but nothing. I've had a set of RPF800's and liked them a lot, before the drive units started to come loose all of a sudden :s I am really interested in...
