    Fellow Audiophiles: sound quality comparisons

    I'm surprised at your question. Sort of like asking who is the sexiest 95-year- old. MP3 and high fidelity are mutually exclusive.

    Connect 4 'phones to one jack?

    Anybody know of an adaptor or extension cable that will allow me to plug in 4 sennheiser 580 phones to my DVD player's 1/4" stereo headphone jack? The sennheisers have adaptors that allow them to plug into 1/4" or mini stereo female jacks. I currently have an extension cord that allows two...

    How unportable is the HD600?

    HD 600 vs. Ety 4P on the basis of sound quality alone? My home rig includes a Theta front end and Melos SHA-1 for headphone listening. In that set up the etys have better bass and more top end extension than the HD 600s. Most people would judge them superior. Hug

    How unportable is the HD600?

    Vitalstatistix, Before you invest a lot of money (and storage bulk) in headphones, amps, batteries etc., you really should audition a pair of Etymotic ER4P's (not S's) plugged directly into your CDP. You will have a much more simple, portable package that really sounds quite good and is...

    How unportable is the HD600?

    I own HD 600's and Ety 4p's. Love them both. I listen at home mostly to the Sennheisers, but for portability, ambient sound attenuation and convenience the etys cannot be beat. The "P" model plays loud and clear without amplification directly from my Sony CDP. The whole package could fit in the...

    Classical music amp?

    Although I love to listen to rock, folk, jazz, etc.; it is classical music that really sends me. I would love to know of your experiences or recommendations for an amplifier for the Sennheiser HD600 headphones that: 1. Has ample power reserves to handle the wide dynamic swings (very soft to...

    First Impressions of the Senn 580's

    Could anyone fill me in on the meaning of the acronyms, "cmoy, rkv, emp," and any others that are commonly used here? I am really fascinated by the richness of the infomration being shared by all of you, but fear that I miss out a lot as a result of being ignorant of headphone language and...

    Volume controls, Koss, RS, Senn?

    Anyone had experience with the in-line headphone volume controls offered by these manufacturers? Is there much sonic degradation from using them? Much differnce among the units? (I am driving my Sennheisers from the analog outputs of my Theta Basic IIIa DAC. Good sound, but too loud.) Hug

    Passive attenuator?

    My Theta DAC (Basic IIIa) drives my Sennheisers very nicely out of its analog outputs, but the volume is too high, 3.7 volts, 50 ohms output impedance. Anyone know of a simple, high quality attenuator I can insert between the two? Not too expensive? Hug
