    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    Very nice! The HD700's gave me tons of great sound. Hope you are still enjoying them. I have since moved on to the HD800S coupled with a Garage 1217 analog kameleon eq and a Schiit Loki mini plus eq (just for a touch of bass boost). I am thoroughly liking the upgrade . However, I feel the...

    Emotiva A-100

    I agree. The full power mode is spectacular as long as your headphones are at the right impedance where the noise isn't noticeable (and also allows you enough play on the volume). Headphones like the HD800S and HD600S do fine. But lower impedance headphones have issues. Emotiva was going to make...

    Guess what... I'm listening to the HD800S !! It's a bit of a mixed bag.

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    Hey that treble issue and unclean midrange can be significantly reduced by applying the totally reversible no tools modhouse audios HD700 mod kit. If you use both parts, you will have a lot stronger bass, but personally I didn't care for the tone. But using just one (i forgot which one it was) I...

    Emotiva A-100

    I'm probably going to order the Ether 2 flow headphones to see how well it works.

    Emotiva A-100

    Hi no you won't barbecue your headphones. I use it with my HD700's which are 150 ohm impedance with the jumpers. I've also used it with headphones that have less impedance. However, you know make sure you have it at minimum volume and increase from there (common sense). Without the jumpers the...

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    I have the HD700. You would be surprised at what a difference the kit from modhouse makes. It's about $15. It is fully reversible and requires no tools. It comes in two parts. You can use both or just one. A felt ring that encircles the driver and/or three layer felt earpad. Don't want to spend...

    Try modhouse hd700 mod kit for the hardness.It's reversible and requires no tools. There are two mods in there and each one affects the sound in diffferent ways.

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    I thought the platter wobble was fixed? It's still wobbling a good bit in the Sol setup video.

    Everyday I appreciate the HD700's more and more. :) I really don't understand why it wasn't more of a hit especially at the relatively low price it was selling for before they got discontinued.

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    Where I'm coming from, there is a lot of information to be found in measurements. Imo (so far), those measurements are going a long way in describing the electrical signal of what's coming out of the device. It also has the ability to describe things like impedance of the output and can measure...

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    I love the tech, measurements and build quality that goes into gear. Though how it sounds is for the most part the arbiter, I still pay attention to the above mentioned stuff. Always curious, and I always expect high quality out of my stuff. I didn't find any digital sound in either the DC-1 or...

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    It's contrary to what I've been exposed to. I prefer to get more concrete detail. For instance "subtle detail not captured by standard average measurements" is too vague for me. What about it is not captured? What part of the frequency range/time domain is an AP machine not able to do? Hope...

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    Have only heard the Gungnir multibit. Was among the best DAC's I've heard. It lost in finer treble detail and reproduction of the "hall dimensions" when compared to an Emotiva DC-1. However it had a really impressive sense of timing that I can't describe where things just felt "right". So...

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    Thanks for the link. Part 1 is 90 pages. Could you point me to a specific page/page range linking to these experiments that show that it can differentiate time intervals better than measuring instruments can?
