I have been a faithful Head-Fi member the last 7 year. It all started back in January 2004 when I came here looking for alternative earbuds/headphones for my newly acquired iPod. Got several tips and quickly realized that the members were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful - so I decided to...

Ok! Not sure there is much more for me to tell either. It does not work - unlike prior to the forum update a number of weeks back (lost track on the number).   Oh well!

  Ok, fair enough! Guess I just have to stay clear - or magically loose my login password.

Another week without a fix! Regressions like this one seriously harm the usability. I am really close to asking for my account to be deleted!       Grrr ! !

I will be a bit short since it is late and overdue on bedtime. Afaik the LCD-2 are demanding and hence you may benefit from the addition power of using a speaker amplifier (like the SIgnature 30.2), over a regular headphone amplifier. May not be so for the D7000 though. The Signature 30.2 does...

$4-600 sure would be great, and at that price I would expect it to sell quite good. Doubt it would happen though, since it would be in direct competition to the Q701 at $480.     That and the fact that all the R&D work were done back in the 1980s - since the K1000 first released in...

Of those I have heard I can easily say the AKG K1000.

  He he No, I was fully aware that it would not end. Have to admit I mostly listen to speakers these days though - and need new ones somewhere down the road.

No, there are no such thing as "the perfect" headphone. For the price it sure is a nice pair of headphones, but it come way short sound quality wise to larger and higher crafted ones. Comfort wise they come a bit short as well.   I love my pairs, but take them for what they are!

 

  Nice! Our dreams for an Omega III may have been heard - 13 years after the Omega II was released.   Stax sure seem to be on a major roll these days. First the SR-404 Limited, then the SR-507, SR-407, SR-307 and now what looks like an SR-007 successor. Awesome!      

Ah, sweet! Looks like Stax is replacing the entire Lambda series. :lambda:

1. No 2. Isabellina -> Signature 30.2 -> K1000

Something like this, if I count the systems I have today. Cables - 10% Source - 30% Amplification - 30% Headphones - 30%

RWA Isabella Ok, both the DAC and headphone amplifier are optional - but still.

Congratulations with the β22 and σ22 - an excellent amplifier indeed!

RSA The Hornet is one alternative.

No, there are no way. As the Creative Zen X-Fido not have software to decode FLAC encoded audio data. The only way would be if you in some way could add FLAC decoding to the firmware, or fully replace the firmware (Rockbox or like).

  So true, sadly! It seems to be quite common around here - if someone do not like a specific application or hardware it is simply a piece of crap. It can not be that they simply have different taste than others...

And here is another great source of information - http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Flac

I like this progress! Sure will be great to see how this turns out, design, size and especially sound wise.
