Hi everyone, looking for your ideas and recommendations!   On my second pair of DT880s (600ohm version) and I'm just trying my absolute best to love them. My first set was a set of Cardas recabled pair a few years ago, and they sounded great. After selling them (and unfortunately losing my...

Hi everyone,   Been a long time since I posted here - I did my research, tried a few cans, ended up buying some PK1s, and have been happy ever since. UNTIL recently, I managed to break the cables for my PK1s, and then the wires split.   I was thinking of trying a set of Fischer DBA-02s...

I've heard using the rear channel is good because it has the best opamps but other than that anyone tried hotrodding the card like an x-fi?

Hey everyone, I get a ton of good information on Headroom about the Yuin headphones, but do they have their own website/brochures/etc? How can one get ahold of them directly? Thanks!

Hey there, seriously considering going for a set of PK1s. I was thinking of getting the minibox amp for them, but since I already have the headphonia I figured I'd keep it and try that first. My question is how do you find vocals to be presented on the PK1? I've heard that it is quite...

Just curious, especially about the mids. In the most compact statement possible, can you articulate the differences?

Well, needless to say I was a bit gung-ho when I got my DT880s in the mail today (cardas recabled as well) and started trying them on all sorts of sources. Straight out of a NAD stereo receiver and lame KOSS DVD player source they already sounded quite amazing. Good soundstage, resolution...

Hey everyone, I recently got ahold of an HP TX1000 tablet PC and I was hoping to turn it into my media machine (lots of ram, dual core, compact) But there was one big problem... IT CAME WITH VISTA I have tried and tried but I hate Vista a lot. Solution: Linux. Im going to put Linux...

Just wondering who's around! I searched and found that there have been some meets in the past- anyone interested in another?

Im a communications major and while sitting in lecture yesterday I was pondering the claims that different cables change the sound. Long post, sorry! The very core of communication theory suggests/asserts that all information communicated must travel through media to a reciever. The media...

Well I took another trip to audition the cans again, but I had very different responses the second time around. Same system, mostly the same source material. HD595: I can TOTALLY notice the L/C/R seperation on the soundstage that Head-fiers are talking about. It seems like the soundstage...

As the title states. I know there has been some bad press floating around the forum regarding headphonia, but lets avoid that for the moment. Could the non-DAC version run a K701?

It occurred to me that running some of my music through some quality Voxengo plugins to EQ and the Nomad Factory Blue Tubes VSTs might be a great way to experiment with some sound. They are professional grade recording VSTs, so Im not worried about quality degradation. Anyone else thought of...

Well after all the Head-fi researching and question asking I decided to trust my ears and put theory into practice! Got a chance to listen to all of these for quite a while with selections of music that I like through a nice solid state amplifier at Tom Lee Music. I am still looking to...

Just curious, and if you did, what were the improvements?

Hey everyone, 2nd thread! After doing a lot of searching, just wondering what headphones have, in your opinions, the best representation of female and male vocals. The kind that have that presence, the wrap-around-you feeling, the spine tingling effect even. Most curious about the HD595s...

Hi there everyone! This is my first post on Head-Fi so go easy on me ! I've been searching and lurking here for a while, gathering up some info on some phones. Basically I brought the options down to a few headphones, and thought I'd see what you would recommend for the different types of...
