Thank you.

How do I delete my account?

Nice try, but I won't be swallowing any hooks now or in future. Baggage? I think not, at least not in the sense you refer. What you wrote here is an example of the very thing I am talking about, forcing one's beliefs and definments onto another. (I was not raised in such a culture). FYI: No, I...

To me “audiophile” is a derisive, mean-spirited title akin to name calling. Calling me an audiophile is offensive, same as harassing me for my ethnic background. I’m satisfied with anything that makes my toes tap or provides a direct easy connect to feeling the music even if it be a $50 boombox...

Thanks for the vote on the Monoprice EQ, glad to know.

Of course adding an EQ comes with large risk of adding noise, but maybe there is one that won't? I will likely end up spending more than $30 though and get a new one. I have experience with used EQs, all of it bad. I don't sell gear, too much hassle. If I end up parting with the HD650s, I will...

Ah, my mistake, yes I took a look. The way it is worded I thought it was an amp kit. Anyway, it doesn't seem the correct answer because it is not adjustable, it is custom order and fixed. Also rather expensive.

Thank you - between source and amp, that's what I thought, just couldn't recall. Prog metal?.....no thanks, just not my taste. I'm more of a prog rock jazz and classical guy such as Yes, Rush, Renaissance, Its A Beautiful Day, etc.

There is no way to know what headphones will suit needs thanks to the internet. Buying a headphone for each genre with the number I listen to could run into 6 figures and is a silly idea to start. I'm sure that DIY amp is probably a good one, but not a fan of tubes, sorry. I'm not handy at...

Too bad those measurements are unreadable to me. Even at full screen, I can't see the graphs.

Yes, I thought about the Loki, but it is not precise enough to avoid boosting already boosted frequencies and such. A 15 to 31 band EQ would be better. It has been a while, would I hook that up between source and amp or amp and headphone?

Well, I’m not an audiophile, I’m a music lover. Audiophiles actually do not generally listen to music at all, they listen to gear. I listen to almost everything, classical (lots lately), prog rock, classic rock, folk, jazz, you name it, except rap, hip-hop and today’s pop and what they call...

My so called "audiophile" Senn HD6xx/650 cans are far from it. They require some EQ to add just enough bass to appropriate level. I like articulate, musical, just enough bass, not overwhelming amounts or anything like that, but the HD650 has no bass extension and is somewhat lacking of the...

Yes, I have those on the list as well, but i do not need or want the microphone version. I believe having extra stuff like that interferes with sound quality. The HD598SR is no longer available without the mic. The regular HD598 is counterfeit. If I can find a HD598SR without mic I will get that.

After reading about the new Sennheiser HD569 on Innerfidelity recently, I am left with the same question: I have a pair of HD518s and I wonder if the HD569 would sound any different? In Tyll’s article he mentions that they do not have that infamous “veil” to them (nor to my HD518s). The thing...
