I would love to hear more impressions about these, whenever they can be made. Especially compared to the W5000. I really like my W5000s and the way they present music, save for the bass quantity. What it sounds like, from Currawong's impressions, is that it's a bassier W5000 with a little more...

Well, I can understand where the thought of brightness could come from.. but it is a very mild bright. At least, this is run through my WA6. I'll agree with the idea that with solid state, it has a bit more of a grating feel to the presentation. But if you have a nice tube amp, then there...

Overrated: Grado SR-80 - I understand it's in a lower tier of headphones and I shouldn't have expected to be blown away, but as my first headphone purchase years ago by recommendation of nearly everyone on Head-Fi, the SR-80 almost singlehandedly turned me off the headphone experience. It had a...

On the headphone front, I have HE-5s coming in so.. really, at this point, all I'd be looking forward to is the T1. But that's an iffy proposition without any time to spend with it yet. If anything, 2010 is going to be a year that I cut back on some of the equipment to really decide what I like...

#38699 Purchased from Bestseller51? I think is the name, for $262

I've been a head-fi lurker for a while now, and even then, I will entirely admit that this place has emptied my wallet. It started years ago, with Grado SR80s. I wanted something good, but I sure didn't want to spend as much money as it seemed like everyone was.. it seemed ludicrous! So the SR80...
