    Orgy of Capacitors: The Cap Thread

    I've recently gone from Clarity Cap ESA 250v in my tweeter (Fountek CD3) to Mundorf EVO OIL and the treble has really opened up.  Far cleaner, clearer and much more detail.  I'd love to try the Silver/Gold version which is supposed to be another step up in airy detail.

    Beyerdynamic dt990 600 ohm: is this authentic?

    Congratulations on buying a fantastic hp. You will need a top quality hp amp to get the best from them. I doubt they are fake. Mine had no box seal.

    Had a Beyer DT990 2005 (600) for a few years...what's next?

    I ve owned dt990 600 since 2007 and have found them to be an incredibly exciting listen but not to the extent of being tiresome. I always find myself spending hours listening and thoroughly enjoy music. They require a great front end and amp to drive them. I bought a valve head amp and have re...

    Cheap amp for Beyers DT990 600 ohms? (ebay?) EDIT: Schiit Magni+Modi?

    I bought a pair of the 600 ohm 990's several years ago and went with a cheap Chinese Xiang Sheng valve amp.  It sounded good from the box. I then started upgrading the amp and have rebuilt it with high quality components in many stages.  Every upgrade made a clearly audible improvement using the...

    Beyer dt 900 premium ! Lack of bass...

    Hi,   I have the DT900 600ohm and there is plenty of bass.  I am a bit of a bass head in fact, and have a big pair of transmission line speakers that shake the room.  I am very pleased with the quality and quantity of bass from the Beyers.  Far more than HD600/650.   Maybe the headphone...

    Modifying the Xiang Sheng 708B [56K!!!!]

    Hi all,   In answer to the above, yes the vol pot greatly affects gain and is pretty poor.   My 708B stopped working a month or so ago.  I noticed that the output phono connectors were badly corroded! (gold plated?)  When I opened it up, the 6z4 had dropped through.  2 of the soldered...

    BeyerDynamics DT990 600 ohms vs 250 ohms

    I have had the DT990 600 ohm version for about 3 years.  When I first got them they were very bright in the treble.  But once run in, they are in a word, AWSOME!  I worked in the HiFi industry for many years, and sold many pairs of SR125, 325, HD600/HD650, etc.  I never really enjoyed music...
