    On a mission to like jazz

    I enjoy jazz but have a tough time getting truky into it. Unless Colin Stetson counts as jazz, but I just consider him avant garde

    Ultrasone Signature DJ

    Unexpectedly received these early in the mail today.   Out of the box impressions are that they don't really look like expensive headphones (I don't care about that though)   Comfort is rather poor.  I can deal with the clamping pressure, there just really isn't enough padding.  I would...

    Ultrasone Signature DJ

    Just joined the mix as a new Signature DJ owner.  Will post my impressions when I get them, probably not until early next week.   I had planned on going with the TH900 but after lots of Head Fi reading over the last few days, I was finally able to kick the little devil off of my shoulder that...

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Thanks guys for your help.  The reason I have been trying to talk myself out of the TH900 was strictly the price.  Owning them had become an obsession to me the last few days.  But some of the chatter here got me rethinking my priorities and I realized that it is a poor decision for me to spend...

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Which I fully expected, no doubt about that.  But could you provide some specific examples of the difference in sound signature?  Also, understand that I have never had a taste of Hi-Fi greater than the HE400 so any step up from those would by default become the best headphone I have heard.  ...

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    I mentioned in my first post that I did try a DAC already.  I bought the recommended Magni/Modi combo for the HE400  and I thought the sound quality was a significant step down both EQ'd and un-EQ'd with Foobar.  I much preferred the Magni with my CD player alone.   Now, the HE-400 is...

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    OK, after a bit of research I am actually starting to lean towards the Signature DJ.  Mainly because it seems that an amp isn't really necessary to get good sound out of them, so directly out of my CD deck the total cost would be $1000 rather than the $1750 of the Th900 and the Asgard 2.  Am I...

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Yeah, the problem I have with the TH600 is if I am mildlly disappointed I would just send them back and get the 900 anyway, and if I love them and get a taste of hi-fi I would probably just start lusting for the 900 yet again. Trying to avoid that middle ground haha. The best thing that could...

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    New Head-Fi'er here.  Going back and forth on what to do.   Been reading through this thread the last couple of days, up to page 350 now.  Been looking for reasons NOT to buy the TH900 because in order to buy them I have to sell of some other non-headphone related collectibles.  Haven't found...
