    Denon D7100?!

    The press release - "Tuned by the Cali Swag District solely to their song teach me how to dougie, the new Denon D7100 boasts both drivers and mahogany that have been cured in the finest crunk juice for a fuller sound. The cable is magnetically shielded so as not to interfere with your grill...

    HD 598 or AKG q701?

    Come on guys, the op is looking for some advice and this argument is not helping him or her. To the op, if you can possibly hear the headphones (or even change your choices to ones you can hear) that is by far the best approach. It is extremely difficult to work out from the descriptions of...

    Audiophilia as a burden?

    Its good to know I am not alone in this madness. Often I wonder if the trick is not just to fight the critical listener with gear but instead to try and unlearn it altogether. I know I have spent many hours researching gear that would have been better spent locating new music.

    The unofficial Skyrim thread.

    No more mountain climbing for you! IO hope this thread is thoroughly riddled with folly like this. Seriously though, Skyrim is awesome, I need to know Sapphire's real name grrrrr.

    Audiophilia as a burden?

    Presumably everyone who comes to this website comes because they love audio (generally music). An expression we hear time and time again in audio (and experience if we are lucky) is 'to get lost in the music'. I know alot of people will know what I am talking about when I say that, to simply...

    Deus Ex 3

    As the title says, I'm looking forward to playing this. Just wondered if any of you fine people are already living the dream, if so what do you think? Do we have an original deus on our hands or is it more like the limp sequel? Do we ever get a skull gun for our head (Gunther lusts after what...

    Monster Beats Pro is like a Sony XB

    I have read the thread. I realise your not just coming into the thread. TBH it was a bit irrelevant (in terms of the thread I posted on) and I don't intend to hijack the thread further. As I say, I didn't mean to imply you were a basher or a newcomer, I guess they are thoughts that have been...

    Monster Beats Pro is like a Sony XB

    I am saying that flaming people as seems to have become the norm is a shame. Yes, its pointed language but nothing compared to what the headfi sanctioned hate brigade throw out every day. I just think its a shame when new people in audio bring up these topics and everyone jumps to put them down...

    Ultimate Headphone Stand

    Excellent, you must be thrilled. I love the tiny band of unstained wood (the bit for the cables) running through near the bottom - really great little detail. Normally you worry that a stand will treat your headphones right, you must be worried that your headphones will not damage your stand!

    Japan is the headphone paradise, and here's the proof

    Amazing pictures, it is awesome that they give you the chance to not buy blind. I really cannot imagine how much money some of the members here would have saved if they were able to demo all headphones at whatever price range they are interested in. Having said that, demo canal phones, ewww...

    Monster Beats Pro is like a Sony XB

    I love all the posters who come on and hate on the 'popular kids' for wearing beats while trying to be popular on headfi by hating on headphones half of them probably have not heard. Its all gone beyond the point of ridiculousness - 'beats sound worse than my 2.99 headphones that have been...

    Individual tracks that are an experience to listen to on headphones

    Its not an individual song, but almost anything by Grandaddy. Besides being tragically underrated, the guy who makes it all is a massive headphone fan himself, so its all pretty headphone delicious.   Jam the sophtware slump in and have a good time.

    One for the scientists

     'The Clever Little Clock does not plug into the wall and has no influence on house wiring, audio components, cables, interconnects, power cords or acoustic waves in the room. Yet the Clever Little Clock has a pronounced affect on the sound in the room. In addition, the picture quality any video...

    Box Envy

    Cheers guys -    Armaegis - The reason I chose box above stand are twofold. Firstly, I don't find the akg's particularly lend themselves to being hung. If done by the leather headband they tend to fall in on themselves and I do not particularly fancy hanging them by the biwire cables...

    One for the scientists

    A quote from a customer - "The Teleportation Tweak definitely made a difference. While my initial reaction was that the improvement was somewhat more than subtle, I now concur with another customer's observation that the tweak appears to have a 'burn-in' time...it is improving by the hour!!" -...
