Did anyone ever try said Xonar essence STX directly with klipsch image X-10 IEM's ? Years ago I've plugged the klipsch into a meier audio amp and they sounded utterly horrible as in extremely muffled, boomy and whatnot out of some mysterious reason. Since the STX also has some kind of beefier...

Yesterday a friend came over and we had some pretty fun day listening to our equipment, comparing phones and sources. I was partially looking to get myself a portable amp to make my main phones sound even better. He brought with him his new Corda Arietta, a Behringer Ultramatch Pro 2496 DAC...

After doing the plunge and picking up a new pair of Klipsch Image (X10) I wanted to share my thoughts on those little ones. I already have them for some months and they do still amaze me. I went looking for new cans after I found my ER-6 to be way too bass shy for my tastes. In between I used a...

Strange things happen when people get bored. Somehow I ended up doing a little EQ job on my ER-6 since I wasn't really satisfied with the bass. Basically my take on bass is like on displacement.. bass can only be replaced by more bass. I just recently got back to using them and after a few days...

If there was one thing I sometimes love and sometimes hate on my set of DT990's (2005) is that they're open cans. When things are quiet i love every ounce of them, especially the low end. The downside comes when I'm around at smaller lan-parties which happens quite regularly. Lately people don't...

Somehow I can't quite get if my DT990 might be damaged or if this is by design. I just found that with at least one track the bass seems to be distorting slightly at pretty loud volumes. Its most clearly audible at the track Madonna - Mother and Father somewhere where there is just the...

Hey, Does anyone know if its possible to properly clean a leather headband of a beyer 990? It was once colored like the "cognac" thingy that you can now see at the manufaktur but has gotten darker at some places due to regular usage. I tried to clean one side with some sort of soft leather...

Over the past days i've pretty much read every recent thread about the k701, HD650 and the beyers in here. After a quite long phase of total cluelessness I've decided to go for the dt 990 -2005- now. The only thing i'm not sure about is if the 32 or the 250 ohm version would pair better with an...

Hi, I'm kind of interested in the Beyerdynamic DT 990 2005 edition. From what I've read here, the DT 990 line seems to be a bit more into the fun-listening department. Already over a year ago my good ole HD600 started to get the dratted intermittency problems and are getting harder and...

Recently i've noticed quite some problems with my audiophile usb and certain media files. The problem itself is that for certain video files i try to play, there is simply no sound when played via the audiophile. When i switch over to my onboard nforce2 soundcard there is sound. The audiophile...

So i guess i did it and stretched to the audiophile usb for a new source. About a week ago i bought one at a music store next town (musik-produktiv if someone needs to know) and directly took it to my lan-party of choice. Suffice to say some of my friends now do think i'm insane spending that...

Hi there! I've been lurking these Forums for some weeks now. Somehow I have ignored all the warnings about staying here and spending more money on audio stuff but hey.. guess I'm in pretty bad company here no? Well the point is, currently I am considering to upgrade my main source of...

First of all, Hi there! Initially i wanted to do some large posting asking about something ety er-6 related but while writing i noticed that i really wanted to try them out for myself rather than asking around what others think of it. Hell in the last 2 weeks i searched this forum over and...
