Official Denon AH-C700 Comparisons/Impressions
Just received the C700s today and listened to them for about a hour. Needed a replacement for my broken ER6i(very bad for exercise). C700s sounds smooth like my Sennheiser HD600s (minus soundstage, clarity). The C700s has more bass bump/thump than the ER6i did...not sure if it's excessive or...- geforcewong

Best IEM under $100 to use with Nano and no amp
My ER6i was great for listening to jazz and female vocals (sufficient bass but doesn't accentuate low end), that is until it accidentally went through a wash and dry cycle last week . Although having it go through the washing machine was my fault, the cord on the ER6i was flimpsy and I had...- geforcewong

HD580 - Should I Upgrade to a Cardas Cable?
The cardas headphone cable made a difference for me, and I'm using an audigy. I can no longer enjoy certain mp3 tracks because the cables are so revealing. I also bought a HD 650 stock cable, but never used it cause I got the Cardas shortly afterwards. I might do a comparison later if seriously... -

Did or Will You Recable Your Headphones?

Did or Will You Recable Your Headphones?
Well, my stock cable broke (for HD 600) so I thought I might as well replace it with a premium cable (I got the new Cardas). I actually ordered a HD 650 cable from the sennheiserusa website at the same time I got the Cardas, sennheiser still hasn't charged me for the cable nor processed my... -

Opinions wanted on a couple computer speaker systems
Hmmm..since the Atoms are around $189 maybe you should consider the Onix X-LS bookshelf speaker for $199 as a possibility too. They can be found on http://www.av123.com. A review of these speakers can be found on http://www.audioholics.com/productre.../Onixxlsp1.php -
Opinions wanted on a couple computer speaker systems
Hey mgtitans17, you don't need a massive amp to power bookshelf speakers, even with an 8 ohm impedence. A cheap T-amp should do the job. The Tripath TIO card I use is basically a T-amp type chip on a PCI card. I don't know if these are still available or where to get them, but they shouldn't... -
about HD580/600 replacement cable

Question regarding stock HD 650 cable

Question regarding stock HD 650 cable
Is this Sennheiser connector a hard extension adaptor or a flexible cable sort of adaptor like the Grado adaptor (sorry for being so vague)? I'm asking because a hard extension that may result in an elongated plug that might cause extra stress on the plug tip.
