I had a pair of 575s and they were at best fair in comparison to the 580/600s. These were my first set of cans and while they were as comfortable as their bigger siblings, the sound was colored and missing a lot of mid highs to highs. Also, there wasn't much detail (probably the rolled off...

I have a set of the new sleeves (thanks to TTVJ) and they are amazing. I don't like the clear ones that come with the E5c's, but the foamies are pretty nice. With these soft grey ones, it is so easy to just place it in my ear and get a great seal.

I must agree with Todd on the new tips, they are AWESOME! Work very well with my E5c's.

You of all people should know the damage I have done lately How will this go with my HD600/E5c combo? I currently have an ASL MGHead OTL.

What are the dimensions of the Xp7? (Must resist...must resist...)

We are probably just looking at different aspects of the sound I like the detail of the Grados, hence the comparison with the Etys...where as the Senns have a more polished, rounded sound (like the Shures to my ears). I do want to clarify that I believe the Etys are a great set of cans. I...

I know there have been a number of reviews posted here comparing these canal phones...and there is a part of me that asks what could I possibly add to the fray? After considering it, I thought about how much I like getting multiple points of view when considering a high dollar purchase like...

Thanks for replying, JMT. I purchased it from utdeep, and I don't think it had the problem when I bought it. It is DC only, as far as I can tell. Again, I don't think it is a workmanship issue, probably just "one of those things". Can you PM me your info and I will gladly pay you to make a...

My JMT built (but don't blame him) META42 amp has a pretty bad hum in it, even when I don't have a source plugged in (although it seems to intensify when I plug in my iPod source). When I reorient the amp (read: move it around in my hands), it can some times diminish. I tried changing the...

I have experienced the same thing. I haven't tried it with my amp, but the same setup (ipod + etys) result in some bottoming out when I have the bass boost on. It could be a portable question, but it just might be an issue with the cans as well

You know, someone advised the reversed silicon approach and I was like, yeah right! Well, I just tried it and it does help them to fit better. I think one reason is that you have the underside sticking straight out, which probably allow for better locality.

Todd that Vinyl Junkie (as always) is great to work with, and ships quickly (ordered Friday afternoon, arrived Monday morning). I REALLY like the sound so far, and I know it can only get better. I was unable to get any seal with the white tips (I think I have small ear canals), but the...

I have used the Sony MDR 7506s for about 4 years with my VPros and I have been very pleased. Best part is that they are cheap online!

Oh, yes, I would

I don't know if it is appropriate to start a new thread, but the other is a bit ungainly, so I decided to make a command decision. The pack is on it's way to NY, NY. Observations from the Dangerous Tube Roller Pack Setup: Denon DCM-370 Straightwire Interconnects MG Head OTL (OTL...

How do I get the next address (mezzman's)? Nick, will you PM me?

OK, so far so good. I just need another day or so to finish my listening, if that's ok? I am in the middle of moving at the same time, so time has been split many different ways...Oh yeah, I am supposed to work too, eh

I ordered one a few months back and live in NC, USA. Arrived in about 6 days, no problems whatsoever.

Received! Thanks a ton. I will post some findings once I get a good listen.

Thanks, guys, I am looking forward to it!

I would love to come, but I don't know if I will ba available. We are buying a new house and will be moving at the end of the month, so lots of work to be done. We'll see. Jeff

I started with a TA and then got a Creek OBH-11 to use with my HD600s. The Creek has a much more balanced sound than the TA. I am neutral to negative on crossfeed, so I didn't miss it and in some ways like it better without it since it seems to give a little more detail.

I have this exact combo (HD600 and MG Head OTL) and all I can say is OH MY! It is so smooth, so balanced, so...NICE! I was using a Creek OBH-11 (non SE) and that was very good, but this is a nice step up.

I have a pair of HD575s and they are decent, period. When compared to HD580/HD600 they are not nearly as good, but then again the price is MUCH lower. They have nice, if forward, bass with rolled off treble. Some music sounded pretty darned good, some didn't. On another note, if you are...

YES YES YES! I have a few tubes, but the more the merrier
