I've owned my N6 PRO for a few weeks now and I was happy until yesterday. That's when my hand inadvertently brushed against my right ear and the N6 PRO performed an unplanned mechanical drop test onto my asphalt driveway. The right-side unit was dead; as in no audio, no response to buttons, and...

NUARL N6 Pro > TOZO T5 > MPOW Flame I own the first 2 and the MPOW Flame died.

My $20 MPOW Flames finally died and I decided to get something serious. I got the TOZO T5 as a temporary stop-gap until I decided what I wanted. The T5 has some bass, but it's peaked at the high end. For $35, it's worth keeping as a backup. This is for daily use while walking / jogging, so I...

I'm up and running with the modi/magni. Wow.   My ears immediately went to full attention, extracting every nuance that I expect from an audiophile system. You really, really need an amp with these headphones. The magni is set to just under 1/2 max volume. Testing the upper end of the...

Well, my much anticipated modi/magni didn't arrive today. FedEx delayed the arrival date from today until Tuesday. My available time will be limited during the week. So, I'm stuck with my Sound Blaster card direct output. I'm using Rhythmbox in Linux right now, works fine.   BTW, I also...

Quote: Are you asking in general (why do I need an amp), or what does it do to these puppies specifically?   Remember that the listening experience is the complete end-to-end chain from the bit stream at the source to your brain. Assuming that everything else is top-notch (that's a...

My Mad Dogs have arrived safe and healthy!   OK, I said I wanted a "step up" from the Audio-Technica ATH-A900 gamer headphones. Instead of an expected 1/4" to 3.5 mm adapter, I get an entirely separate cable? Nice. Welcome to the neighborhood.   The modi/magni combo is expected...

OK, I couldn't resist. After not having any "serious" headphones for a while, I needed to get back on track. Due to my listening environment (noisy desktop PC fans), I needed a closed headphone. I was lamenting not being able get something in the same ballpark as a Senn HD650, HD600, Denon D600...

I'm upgrading my gaming PC now. Definitely going for the X-Fi, but may upgrade to the Fatal1ty / 64 MB X-Ram card for future support of EAX 5.0. In addition to all of the extra voices, textures, environments, etc. supported in EAX 5.0, the extra RAM will be used for processing uncompressed...

I have the Weller WLC-100 soldering station, around $52 US (+ tips) from Mouser http://www.mouser.com/index.cfm?hand..._pcodeid=57802 Mouser's product catalog listing: http://www.mouser.com/catalog/625/1659.pdf It's called an "economy" station, but that's compared to their workhorse $150...

Can you clarify your opinion? Are you saying that the mod was such a good improvement that you don't need to go further? I'm very happy with my SCD-CE595, but I don't have any reference on how much better a mod will be. Right now, I'm building a headphone amp (PPAv2 in the DIY forum), since...

I've got the Senn PX100's for the simple reason is that they're an open design. You need to pay attention to the outside world when you're walking / driving around. Easy to wear and are comfortable for long periods. Second on Cowon. Using the iAudio U2 / 1 GB. Works fine as a USB drive and...

You should utilize the device manufacturer's application notes. You'll find a wealth of information from basic theory to real-life applications. Caveat: Application notes are always written under the guise as "education" but are really marketing pitches to sell products. It's up to you to...

Can you please post the URL? I don't see it anywhere here.

Not to sound like a traitor, but there are a number of good turntable threads in the AVS forum. Like this one http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=639926 - Part of the CD Players & Dedicated Music Transports (NEW) forum. They don't have much interest in headphones (I referred them...
