Hi Tyll, Do you feel the treble of the X2 is much improved, compared to the X1? In your reveiw of the X1 on Innerfidelity your remark was that the treble is a bit gritty sounding, a bit unnatural. Last year I was able to own an X1 for a short period and I had the same conclusion. For me it was...

Hi Oknot, I am wondering about the situation with the HD1502. Did you manage to replace the part? And if so, how is the result? Hope to hear from you!

Quote: Hi Oknot, Did you manage to replace the current amp for the TPA6120? I also own this HD1502 and am very interested in the result.

What the X1 are absolutely brilliant for is watching movies.  

Hello all,   Today I received my repaired and modified headphone amp, the Philips Cineos SBC HD1500U, a very good amp now. Modified by a Dutch audio genius of www.theaudioclinic.nl   All I can say: with a very good amp the Fidelio X1 is very, very good. Nice full sound but not to much...

Quote: I would prefer amazon.it. It is available again.

Quote: Thanks!

Quote:   Hello AlfredWong, Can I ask, why do you think the cable of the X1 should be changed, what, do you think, is wrong with it? It does not seem to be a 'cheap' cable (in my opinion). What should be a good replacement cable for it? Thanks.

For a few days I use the X1 now and getting happier all the time .   Straight out of the box not to much impressed soundwise because of several reasons. My HPamp died recently and I am temporarily using something low-fi. Also it is true that the X1 rearly needs a solid break-in, a French...

Quote: Well, bad luck for you.  The X1 is on its way and will be delivered soon!

Quote: Indeed I think there seems to be some kind of embargo. The minute after I ordered mine, the website stated 'Attualmente non disponibile' (at the moment not available). It seems they are only allowed to sell a few.  

Quote: Hhhmm... Is this the way a decent (not by apes raised) person should react?

Quote: Why is it that only Amazon.it has this incredible price, while shipping it from Germany? Amazon.de asks 339 Euro! 

Still, it is a beautiful price for a beautiful headphone! I don't think I have ever read so much positive tests about a 'normal price' headphone in all my live. Plan to use it with the Beyerdynamic Headzone Amp.  

The X1 just came available at Amazon.it again and I ordered it for the incredible price (including dispatch) of 204 Euro! I just cannot understand that price, sending it from Italy to the Netherlands, while the normal price here in Amsterdam will be 299 Euro, when available. It will be...
