    Poll: Were the moon landings fake?

    There are NO facts the landing were faked. Only conspiracy theories. Everything about it being faked has been debunked years ago, by numerous reputable independent sources. Key points. This was the cold war, the Russians were tracking the lunar module every step of the way. If it was faked...

    Matrix M-Stage (Clone) vs. Lehmann Black Cube Linear

    I think the LBC is just about the most overpriced amp I've heard; there's been two at half the price that sounded as good or better to me. I think the Meier Concerto is a far superior product, with a smaller price tag.   However, I've also come to prefer mid fi phones, so a top shelf amp is...

    Why don't they make active headphones?

    These used to be available. They're not anymore. That speaks volumes for the interest in them.   1 they'd cost too much 2 they'll sound crap for the money 3 the EQs will be cheap and dirty 4 EQs are already available in media player software, and most are cheap and dirty   It makes...

    New member seeking advice on headphones

    Quote: Why spend $400 when a good phone can do it for half that?   IMO there's no anything I know of that as good as the DT250 for $400 anyway. Its underrated and underpriced - at least in the US. Costs $360 here in Aus, so over here, I can say there definitely nothing better for...

    CAN FIIO 5 DRIVE DENON AH-D2000

    As above.   That combo is like buying a new Civic, putting go-faster stripes on it, and actually expecting them to make a difference.

    Beyer DT250 80 ohm. Very neutral, excellent sound, min amping required.

    Burson 160 or Meier Concerto?

      Quote: Not sure what you mean. I found it too Bright all round.

    Will be awhile until amping... 250ohm or 600ohm with the DT990? I only own a FiiO E5 right now...

    That was the intent of the advice. So long as you are aware you need to feed them better than what you currently have, otherwise is a fair bit of money wasted.

    Quote:   Your source is still a mobile phone. That's like buying a Ferrari F40 and shoving a Fiat 500 engine in it.   Amping is only part of getting the best from phones that need it. The better the phones are, the less plug n play they are, and SQ is only as good as your worst...

    You realize you're trying to pair a decent pair of mid range phones with a loudness button? To call the E5 an amp is like saying skull candy are real headphones. And your source is a mobile phone?   The 3move is a good portable unit, I had one, but was never designed to run power hungry...

    which headphones sound superior with no need for any mods???????

    Every phone I've ever bought, because I bought them all after audition so got the right thing first time instead of getting it wrong and buggering about with it.

    This or that? SR60i or MS1

      Quote: Yeah, people on here say that all the time. I think all the differences are way overstated. Different pads make so little difference to me, it's not even worth worrying about.

    This or that? SR60i or MS1

      Quote:   I don't see why, if they're comfortable leave them be. Bowls are the thing that makes Gradossandros uncomfortable for a lot of people. I hated them so much I took them off my RS2 and use the comfy from my MS1 instead.

    Most overrated headphones?

    Quote:   Same here. Just a dull sounding headphone IMO, even when amped to potential it sounds virtually no different to the AD700, which is cheaper and far easier to drive. Yes, lots of people like 701s, but they don't justify the hype thrown around on here.

    Burson 160 or Meier Concerto?

    I've heard both, and vastly prefer the Concerto. Probably buying it when bills stop coming in...   The Burson has no real pros for me. I find it difficult to hear real differences with amps on auditions (you need time with them) but the Burson was easily the brightest amp I've heard. Good if...
