Just a quick update on the burn in question. I have had the SF5Pros going for 72 hours now and have been listening at the end of each 24 hour period. I can definitely hear a difference as time goes on. The midrange is opening up and there seems to be more snap in the bass. These are really nice...

Bump for advice, please.

Hi: I just got my new Super.Fi 5 Pros and I'm wondering what you think would be the best approach to burning them in (if they do need to be burned in). Thanks.

I just got my Super.Fi 5 Pros from them and their service was great. They even beat the lowest price that I found by a couple of bucks (clicked on the web site link and they emailed back their offer within a day).

Thanks for confirming half of my decision. I just placed the order for the Super.fi 5 Pros. Still waiting for more input on the AKG 204s. I have about $100 left in my budget. Should I be considering other cans or go ahead with the AKGs?

This is a further clarification of an earlier post (that didn't get much response). Sorry I wasn't more specific the first time around. I do a fair bit of travelling (trains and planes). I've noticed that I need to crank the volume up on my KSC-75's too high for my own good (and, judging from...

Well, here's another guy heading down the slippery slope at Head-Fi. Thanks to what I read here, I picked up a pair of KSC-75's for my iPod (and like them). However, I do a fair bit of travelling on trains and planes (got the automobiles part all figured out already ). I've noticed that I need...
