    Campfire Audio IO

    Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a labor, but sometimes it's fun to do a deep dive like that. I'd never been an early adopter, but when I do reviews, I see everyone else put so much effort into it, and it makes me want to put in the effort to match them! Also, I really appreciate...

    Sorry, I actually dumped my entire list in my OP. Linked your video actually in it! But, I'll add it to my last post as well. Thanks for reminding me!

    Wow, I missed a lot that happened in this thread while I took some time off to refresh my ears and listen more intently. Tested lossless files my Shanling M0, and Apple Model A2049 Dongle, as well as SDAC/789. To be clear, I've spent a few days, on and off, swapping tips, sources, A/B'ing...

    Best alternative headphones to HD600?

    Before that, you may want to take a look at my last post, and try replacing the headband padding. Which you can do without much work, and with the HD 650 padding. Another thing is to perhaps try some of the Dekoni options from my last post, or perhaps some new Sennheiser pads? This is the first...

    Best alternative headphones to HD600?

    So, adding on here. Megabigeye is correct, 650 headband is also the same as the 6XX and the 58X, but the original 580 is the same as the 600. You can however simply replace the cushioning. BTW, the first link is a video on how to replace it, and the second link is a non-affiliate amazon link...

    Your impressions worried me, so I went home after work and started swapping back and forth on the 789 to confirm what I heard on the M0. I even tried the Final Type E tips on the IO. Also, I tried some classic rock just to see if it was my source, or amp or something else. From the 789 fed by...

    I actually added my comparison to my Original Post. I listened to some tracks from a few different OSTs, though I enjoy some hip hop, classic rock, and jazz on occasion. I do agree that the IO is more resolving and faster, but unless I got a borked pair, the Plus seems to have the wider...

    So, I had to A/B it right now, but yeah. The IO sounds plasticky when the rain is falling, I guess still like you hear it through a cup... The Plus on the other hand, so much more natural! When the thunder hits, it's like I'm in the storm, it's very thick and meaty! Maybe it's because the IO is...

    Best alternative headphones to HD600?

    T60 will be heavier just because they're planar drivers instead of dynamic, also I'm sure the wood cups are denser than the plastic ones. Fostex's stock suspension strap leaves a bit to be desired, I mean, it is still a suspension strap, but it's think and not too soft? The comfort for the T60...

    Relatively neutral? Bass-lite? Are we talking about a less-grainy, in-ear version of SHP-9500's?! :laughing::laughing::laughing: Seriously though, I'm kidding...

    Listening through a cup! Exactly. It's a strange sensation after using the T60RP, HD 660S, and even the MD+. To be honest, I didn't do an MD+ comparison, but I will do one soon. If jaydunndiddit doesn't beat me to it, lol And yeah, almost every Halo FPS has been a gem. I'm super excited for MCC...

    Hey! I actually found someone else who uses the ODST Overture as a demo track! Good on ya, friend! ODST was my favorite Halo both gameplay wise and BGM wise. But, I do agree. As someone who's listened to that track on every piece of gear and every combo of signal chain that I own, the rain did...

    Well that's awesome man! I just took a bunch of pictures from the NY Auto Show, but I'm kinda crap at taking photos lol, should PM some of your shots if you'd like, I'm a fan of 90's Japanese Imports, but I enjoy a little of everything! Honestly, I tell people not to live my life, it's so...

    New Member Introductions thread

    Oh for sure. I've bought used from Amazon a few times, and for sure on always wanting to try more. Though, I have been searching for something that's also enough. Even if I want to try a $1k+ product, it doesn't mean I want to own one, after all. That's a lot of pressure. DF and Harman targets...

    Well, I've abused my IEMs, normally. The IE80 and the Pinnacle PX especially. I've owned both of them for 2+ years at this point. They're still trucking, though they both needed a new cable. Honestly, I'ma PM you about a thing in a minute, if I can... Personally, I find myself reaching for the...
