    How to approach women / girls thread

    I don't if this hasn't been said already but here's my advice: If you're into a girl, try to talk to her like she's someone you're not interested in. I have always found that I have really good conversations with girls i'm not interested in and then the ones I really like or that i'm...

    Oh man i'm sorry about your elbow injury! Those are the worst. I used to have a bad case of tennis elbow and it prevented me from lifting for a while but now i'm better. Yeah it's kinda fun being a smaller guy and lifting a lot. Makes me feel strong haha. However, I guess it's nothing...

    DIY amp for 600 ohm dt880

    Hmm...ok then what would a good suggestion for a DIY amp be? M^3 continues to appeal to me. AMB mentioned a PPA being used with the 990/600... would that work alright with the 880? I know that would probably be easier to build than an M^3 and cheaper too right?

    Sound Around Sound II *New Venue*Bellevue Library

    Would it be a horrible thing to do if I were to come without my gear to just have a look around? I have had to downsize and sell some things for $$ so it's not very impressive at all :/ Plan on bringing my 2 roommates to try and get them deeper into head-fi though haha.

    DIY amp for 600 ohm dt880

    First of all, thank you all for the responses! OK well I don't really have any desire to get tubes so it's great to hear I could get great sound from the 880/600 ohm with something solid state. Sanderx, i'm sorry i'm not very fluent in the electronics language yet...are you showing through...

    DIY amp for 600 ohm dt880

    Hello all! I plan to buy a 600 ohm dt880 soon and will be needing an amp. At first I considered just buying a little dot, but I started reading into DIY amps and hear they're often preferred to amps built from big companies. Anyway, I have searched through several threads but can't really...

    Kanye West is a douche.

    He's a spoiled, selfish jerk. I think he's just an attention whore trying to get publicity. PS: My sister told me he's a member of the freemasons...true?

    Muse: The Resistance (5th album)

    I guess you're right...I just had higher hopes blah. Oh well I found me a really cool trip-hop artist (Wax Tailor) who stole my attention from Muse. :P

    Muse: The Resistance (5th album)

    For some reason this album has made me start to dislike Muse. To me a lot of the songs on this newest album sound like a mixture of their old songs. Not inspired by old songs, but more like they took riffs they'd used before and mixed and matched different elements of old songs. Maybe it's...

    I should clarify my budget. I don't want to spend more than $300. That's my cap.

    which tube amp for 600 ohm...

    What tube amp is the most cost effective route to go if I were to get a dt880 600ohm. I don't mind stock tubes or whatever, I just want to power the cans sufficiently and then i'll worry about different tubes and their different sound sigs later. I was looking at the Little Dot MK II, but a...

    Albums with exceptional drumming?

    If you like post rock at all, this band has one of my favorite drummers he's insane! Such crazy rhythmic patterns. Band: Toe Album: The Book About My Idol Plot On A Vague Anxiety They're a japanese postrock band and they kick major ass.

    An AD700 upgrade, while keeping the casual concept

    You might want to try an AKG K500/501. Used to have the 501 and it had really good soundstage and amazing mids/vocals. Since you said bass doesn't really matter, they'd suit you fine. However style wise, I think you either hate or love the akg look. I personally think they look awesome but some...

    Buying Blindly, HD650 or DT880

    Note: Don't confuse quantity with extension in the bass department. From my experience, 650 has more quantity, but dt880 extends further down so it can hit lower frequencies better.

    Buying Blindly, HD650 or DT880

    I think the OP seems to be shifting between what attributes he wants in a can...first you were asking for detail, balance, and accuracy, but then kind of forget about it when the word lush comes up haha. Dt880 does all of the above IMO, while the 600 comes close but lacks soundstage...

    Upgrade to HD580s

    You could get an Audio-gd compass then you have a good amp/dac combo. I really wouldn't recommend upgrading the cables until the very end because for the money you spend on them, the change in sq will be much more subtle than if you were to spend that money on an amp/dac/soundcard/source...
