Dual 3 pin XLR. So few options.
Thank you. -
Dual 3 pin XLR. So few options.
I got a Musical Fidelity AMP for Christmas. My problem is finding dual 3 pin xlr cables for my headphones. My only options are either very cheap or very expensive. I was hoping for something in the $50 to $100 range. I have Senn HD 650, Oppo PM1, and Sony MDR-z7.- Discman634

Astell&Kern Launches New A&norma SR35 Player
I've had my player since Friday and the balanced cable for Senn 600/650 since noon. Absolutely loving it. Has anyone found a seller with an adapter that goes from dual 3.5mm balanced to single 4.4mm balanced. My searching so far has been fruitless. Thanks in advance.- Discman634

The Official Grado 325e Owners Club!
My SR325e pads have disintegrated. Is this common or did I accidently leave them in the sun? I don't think they are getting direct sunlight but I am not around in the afternoon to see.- Discman634

Open headphones for treble head?
Try the Grado SR-325. Straight out of my Oppo-105 I found them too bright and thought I made a mistake buying them. However, out of the computer and into the Oppo-HA2 I find them magical.- Discman634

Is Sony MDR-Z7 really that bad?
I like mine a lot but i do like my Hd650 and SR325’s more and they are cheaper. One thing that sold me is it came with a balanced cable that fit the Pono so I factored and extra $100 into buying another model I was looking at. They get used about 20% of the time, seem to be driven easier then...- Discman634

Where or how do you guys get songs to your DAPs?
Most of my stuff on my Pono is CD ripped to wave or FLAC. I found hi-Rez downloads to be mixed bag. Some sound amazing, some sound no better than a CD. Some sound worse.- Discman634

Oppo PM-3 replacement cable
If you are hooking to HA-2 do not get balanced. That being said I have bought from Custom Cans in the past (hd-650/PM-1) And been very happy. I needed a replacement for a portable cable for PM-1 and went cheap on EBay from China and I think it is better than the original. Once you choose the...- Discman634

I have $4,500 for a full headphone setup
I was thinking Tampa has to have some place to at least try some more popular headphones and some amps and maybe DACs. Make a list and got try out what they have. If you are going to drop that much they will treat you very well.- Discman634

Best Closed Cans ~$300
I think you should add the Focal Listen to your list unless wireless is a must. I own them and Sony Z7 And if you like the z7 I think you will like the listen. I owned the Z7 first but needed a can I was willing to take out of the house. The Focal sounds so good out of an iPod i don’t amp it...- Discman634

Why do my HD700's sound worse than my HD598's?
Granted I only tried them in store for 10 minutes and they were probably not burned in but I did not care for the 700s at all. I purchased the Grado 325e that day and I also like my Hd650s more than the 700- Discman634

Is my HD 6x0 cable faulty?
It is definitely the cable. Had a similar situation with an Oppo cable. Picked up a cheap cable on EBay for under 10 bucks. Sounds fine.- Discman634

Focal Listen Impressions and Review
I am very happy with mine too, especially coming straight out of my iPod. I just can’t get as technical on my descriptions. I tested the Elears at the same time and preferred Listens. I can get about 3 hours listening before I find them uncomfortable. They do not get any use with the main system...- Discman634
