I tried looking to see if others had this issue but I haven't really got anything. I have a quick question. I just got the HE-400I today and it's great. Plugged it into my LYR headphone amp and it's good. The moment I take off the adapter on the headphone cable and plug it into my iphone or...

I'm sorry if this has been asked, but what's the typical amount of time for the HE-400 burn-in? I thought it'd be a good addition for work and travel since I have my LCD-2s for home use. Just got this today and they're exceedingly harsh at the moment.

I auditioned both the HE-500 and the LCD-2 before deciding on one of them. The cost for both of them would be too high for me. I really liked both but I wanted something different from my HD600s, which I felt the HE-500s were more similar in terms of neutrality. I enjoy the slight darkness of...

Quote: Depends on your tolerance of outside noise. I'm quite sensitive to exterior noise and with my HD600. If people are talking loudly, it bothers me when I'm listening to my music when I have the HD600's on. But if it's the next room over through drywall, I'm almost certain you'll be fine.

Yeah, I agree with others who say you should get closed for college. It's more versatile(you can bring it with you to the library to study or while you walk to class) and they don't leak. I have the HD600's and they're great for the dorm room when others aren't blasting their music, but they can...

1. Audeze LCD-2: Best sounding headphone for most genres in my collection. Still burning in with the Lyr but getting smoother each day. If it were lighter and didn't clamp my head so tightly, I would wear it more often.   2. Sennheiser HD600: First audiophile headphone. Not as clear as the...

my free galaxy s3 white headphones are the worst things i've ever used.

Quote: Yup! Just got it this week. Quite an upgrade from the HD600. Is it really easy to tell the difference between the rev.1 and rev.2 other than the headband?

Quote: Sounds good. Thanks again!

Quote: Thanks paradoxper! Much appreciated. Now as for actual tube recommendations, do you recommend think the Tesla E88CC 6922 would be much different from what I have already? Should I look into the Siemen's, Mullards, or Amperex? Or should I look into a different type of tube...

Been lurking for only about...5-6 years. Finally got the courage to sign up for an account and start posting. I must admit, it's pretty intimidating here. Here's a picture of my "head-fi" station

Quote: Thanks! Greatly appreciate any help. I wouldn't mind any recommendations for a warmer tube than the stock JJ's. Are there trusted online retailers that sell tubes reliably? I ask but keep getting recommended to Ebay, which I don't have much confidence in.

Quote: Very nice! How are you liking your LCD-2?

Quote:   Totally agree!

I love my HD600. It was the first "audiophile" headphones I owned and it was even sweeter since it was a high school graduation gift from my uncle. I ran it off my ipod and logitech z5500 for about 6 years until I discovered this forum. Live and learn right? After getting the LYR and a dac, it's...
