Recently joined the V281 club. I was using a Monoprice 887 THX amp before this and the difference is night and day. I'm definitely hearing things I've never heard before in songs I'm very familiar with. I'm hoping to put it through its paces this weekend and enjoy some of my favorite tracks. For...

Interested, PM’d you.

I’ve been using Lavricables for almost two years now on my Fostex TH-900. Over the course of my headphone journey I’ve had Lawton Audio Denon D2000 with the Jena Labs cable and other higher end cables. I can say that I’ve been impressed with the sound of the Lavricables, especially in terms of...

Thanksgiving price drop!

Thanksgiving price drop!! An incredible pair of Fostex TH-900mk2s with tasteful modifications ($506 value) included. https://jmp.sh/vxcFDBc - Screenshot of the modifications ordered from Lawton Audio US Shipping included, buyer pays PayPal fees. Please let me know if you have any questions...

I had the pleasure of picking up some Violectric RCA interconnects.  The build quality on these cables are impressive.  I've had some quality cables in the past including Jena Labs interconnects and while these are a different animal, I feel for the money, these are an amazing value when it...

I ordered it, but they havent charged me yet. Took advantage of the Violetric deal and got a V100 with USB DAC to drive the DT 1770s. Saved about $500 between the two deals. Customer service from Arthur and Violetric has been outstanding.

Thank you castleofargh, for your insight.  I spent most of today listening to the 760 with xfeed on and I can honestly say I'm not missing as much soundstage as I originally thought.  I also have noticed it is less fatiguing and have experienced a little more depth as you mentioned.  It's...

castleofargh - thanks for the reply!   I'm going to try out the crossfeed on low all day today and see how that goes.  I'll be sure to report back.  I guess I didn't understand what it did fully and just assumed it only narrowed the soundstage.  Thank you for the explanation, I would prefer...

  Hi Jon, thanks for the reply.  I'll be happy to post some updates after I get a few weeks burn in and listening done.  Overall, I'm impressed and to me it is worth the extra $100 in cost.  I think this version may struggle with hard to drive headphones, but I'm very pleased with the...

  My UHA760 arrived in the mail today.  I listened to my UHA-6S.mkII extensively over the past 2 months at work on a daily basis.  The headphones I use to listen are a pair of Brainwavz B2 IEMs.  I listen almost exclusively to streaming music on soundcloud, di.fm and youtube, which was what...

It's been years since I last participated on head-fi, but felt compelled to write a quick review after my last headphone experience.  Quick background: the height of my head-fi participation involved a balanced pair of Lawton Audio D2k's, DACMagic and a RudiStor amp.  For me it was pretty much...

I received my NFB-10SE in the mail from DHL today.  For reference on time, I sent payment on October 3rd so it took me exactly 3 weeks from purchase to delivery to NY.  I fired it up with no problems, but unfortunately have my headphones being reworked for balanced use.  I'm hoping to get them...

I'd like to make it down there.  I have a Audio-GD NFB10SE on order so hopefully that arrives before the meet and I have a pair of modded Denon D2k's.  Looking forward to making it to my first meet.

I sold my previous headphone setup which I came to love, some LA-D2000's, Rudistor NX-33 amp and a DacMagic. I'm looking to get back into the game and it looks like the NFB-10SE is a great way to break the ice for an amp/DAC for the money and looking for some cans that would pair up with it...

Some pics of the new setup...

I recently got my Dacmagic in and have been listening to it for the past few days, breaking it in. I don't post on head-fi much only because whenever I do I end up spending more money, but I wanted to take the time to give my thoughts of the Dacmagic compared to the Pico amp/dac I was using as a...

I'd try out some Denon headphones, specifically the AH-D5000 or AH-D7000 if you haven't already. I have a pair of modded D2k's and recently sold my W3's, even after paying for custom UM56's, because I never wanted to use my W3's after hearing my Denon's. I did read you weren't into bass though...

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll be sure to look into them all. I like the idea of some of them coming with the music creation software. My amp has balanced XLR inputs, is it just a matter of getting the right adapter for those that are balanced but don't use XLR connectors? I like how the L22...

I'm debating going the internal sound card route if I want to mess around doing some music creation down the road. I'm trying to research which sound cards offer balanced output and the one I keep coming back to is the Lynx L22. Would it be an upgrade from my Pico? Any input would be...

Quote: Originally Posted by Nosgis Do you mean the AH-D5000? They look perfect! I see they are recommended for electronica too, which is good. If the Pico runs them well, I'm sure I will go for the Denons. I had initially ruled them out because of the price. Here in Norway they cost...

The Pico ran my Denon D2000's quite nicely. Great synergy out of the combo and was recommended to me by a few head-fi'ers. I also enjoy listening to electronica, female vocal, relaxing music and don't think you'd be disappointed. I used this combo for quite a few months before I picked up a...
