    If I can't power the DT880's for gaming and movies through the Mixamp what next?

    Well, I got the DT880/600 and thought it would be an acceptable medium, but I think I enjoyed the TB PC21's better, because they got louder and the bass was criper. With the mixamp maxed out it certainly gets loud enough, but the bass gets muddy and distorted and not as enjoyable as I was...

    Tritton AX Pro surround sound amplifier compared to mixamp?

    How do these compare? Does anyone have any experience? I was in the market for a mixamp, but there is a Tritton Pro set on craigslist locally for $100. I was reading the ampl was pretty good, but can't be found separately. At that price point, is it worth it to get and use in place of the...

    A700 Pics

    Well, I battled and tried going without headphones for awhile, but I really thought about headphones everyday as if it were a sweet young woman, so I thought I'd try the red-headed can of the Audio Technica line. I just got them in today and they look very nice. Here are some pics. They are a...

    I think the AKG K1000's are calling for me....

    Well, I've owned a lot of headphones, but now it seems that the AKG's are the best that I'll ever pay for a set of cans (no, r10's, hp1's, etc..) Everyone says they are the best, and superior to HD650's. I'm thinking about packing up the HD650's and Zu Mobius and picking up a pair. What will I...

    1 expensive headphone or 2 cheaper headphones?

    Well, I've been thinking about rs-1's, ms-2's, cd3k's (again), and dt880's but I was thinking would it be better to buy 2 seperate phones like the Ety 4p/s and another $100-$125 can, instead? What are your opinions? I keep hearing all these good things about the ety's, but I've only used an e2...

    DT880 or K501's?

    I'm going to order one of the 2 tonight. Which is the better can? Is the $100 price difference worth it for the 880's? This will be my secondary canned powered by my Pimeta and Powerbook. Primary use will be movies, jazz, r&b, alternative. Which ones?

    Alessandro ms-1 and ms-2 owners

    Please share the characterisitcs of these cans with jazz, classical, alternative, rock, rap, and MOVIES (dvd's) if you can. These are a consideration for me. I've heard a model of almost every brand, except Grado/Alessandro. I'm looking for a can to replace my hd595's, so please tell me what ya know

    Are Grado's next for me? What else?

    Well, it's time to try to find something else again after letting the 595's go. The Sr-325 are superior to the 225's or vice versa? I remember a post awhile back where a majority of people preferred the 225's over the 325's. They look pretty portable and I like the looks of them. I've read that...

    Just got the HD595's

    Well I promised an inital review and then follow ups as they burn in. They have been in my possession for less than 30 minutes so far. I'm just testing them out for now. First things I notice they are not as detailed as my HD650's, soundstage is not as wide. Everything seems kind of thrown...

    Pictures of my final home setup

    Well. I've finished my home setup and I'm very happy with it so far. I just have interconnects to make and it's complete, but that's not the meat of it all. Well I just got back to my college room (I go home on the weekends) and go to hook everything up. It all sounds great and I even got a...

    Do sources have to burn in?

    Just as amps and headphones do? If so how long?
  15. Jbroad572

    I think I picked the wrong source

    Well I bought a Pioneer 563A last week and really enjoyed it and the sound that came from it. I read some reviews on the Sony DVP-NC685V and it seemed like it would be superior to the Pioneer. So I got it in this weekend and I was not impressed, so I went and bought the Pioneer again to compare...

    Hooked up the Zu's tonight

    Well I pluggged them in. At first the install of these was difficult, but I used that olf thing on top of my neck that God gave me. I read how most people struggled and had to use pliers and all, but I simply got the connectors in place, then placed the end of the connector against a wooden...

    DIY pure silver IC's..... Where to start?

    Ok, I've seen the cables at www.johnsonaudio.com and I want something similar to those. Upon doing some more searching I have found www.homegrownaudio.com that sells pure silver wire that would be used. Considering I've found the rca ends I will be using what else will I need? What about...

    What are groovalizers?

    Always been curious so I'm asking. Is it just a name for some good sounding laid back headphones or what?

    Would the 595's benefit with the use of an amp?

    I never bought that Pimeta and was planning on running the 595's unamped, but started thinking if an amp would greatly enhance their sound. They are supposedly easy to drive right? So before plopping down another $175, just want to see if it's worth it.

    I need some interconnects

    To finish my system this is the last thing I need. My setup consists of Sony DVP-NC685--->PPA-->Zu Mobius ---> HD650 so I need an rca to rca interconnect. I was looking at Magwire so far. Looks and the clear tubing look great and is highly desired, but of course sound comes before looks. I...

    Anyone see Jan's review of the 595, 555, and 515

    This was posted 2 days ago on Headwize, hope it's ok, to repost over here. This from Jan Meier though. Thought some people would be interested just as I, before I was directed to this post. Quote: Dear headfellows, These three medium-priced headphones have just been released and given...

    What sound characteristics are evident with each of the HD650 cables?

    I knoe that zu mobius is the most popular, but I'm not sure how many there are and what the sound characteristics are of each. Can someone help me out in listing all and impressions, but mainly the names so I can do a search. Thanks!

    After a few days with the CD3K and HD650

    Well I was hoping to byt this time have made a decision to sell either of these headphones, but I haven't made any such decision. Well I've been listening out of my Powerbook the past 2 days and today I went and picked up a Pioneer DV-563 DVD player to further the enjoyment. Well the cd3k's...

    Craziest thing you do with your headphones?

    I catch myself putting on my HD650's and just leaving them on. No music sometimes, but they are just very comfortable and sometime I forget they are there. It feels like sometimes my ears are cooler. I'm sure it's just in my head, but I do that sometimes. You guys do anything weird?
