    K701 thread

    I've been busy with work and very quiet on these forums but I thought I'd update, 5 months after purchasing my K701's and I'm still not regretting it. I've since owned a pair of LCD2's and and some stax gear. But I've still appreciated my K701's and what's more, I've kept burning them in these...

    Audeze LCD-2 Orthos

    I have to admit I lost a little sleep worrying over how it would be handled but their professionalism inspires confidence. It took about 9 days to get them last time. Actually it was probably a lot quicker but customs slows things down a bit   Quote:

    Audeze LCD-2 Orthos

    They Just got back to me. Same day service by email :) They will send a shipping slip and will be shipping me a replacement unit while my faulty one is shipping back to them. Glad to know they are on top of it for sure. It's a bit of relief knowing that I won't have to pay any additional...

    Audeze LCD-2 Orthos

    Dang!, Just got my LCD-2's last week and yesterday all the sudden, no sound out of the right earphone. Looks like I picked up a bad driver as well. Emailed Audeze this morning but no response yet. I am not looking forward to a long wait for getting them fixed :(

    Anyone interested in an NZ meet?

    Hiya, Newcomer here, forgive me for hijacking an old thread... Would anybodies in NZ be interested in meeting sometime in the not too distant future. I am interested in listening to some more headphones and amps and talking gear and such. I have some K701's and LCD-2's  but I'd love to...

    K701 thread

    Cheapest I've seen them online is for $279: http://www.turntablelab.com/dj_equipment/0/0/83368.html But then add shipping and it'll come closer to $300. I still believe it's a good value for money at $300, especially with a nice amp. BTW, I've seen them for as much as $800 USD in at...

    Is Head-Fi Witnessing The Rise Of Two New Kings

    I'm very new here so my comments might not count for much. I had bought a pair of K701's and hearing about their need for a good amp, I stumbled on this site and asked for a recommendation. I was surprised that most of the comments were advice on a better pair of headphones rather than what I...

    REVIEW: HLLY DMK-IV DAC / headphone amp / pre-amp)

    Thanks. That's what I was wondering, whether that was standard or not. It's not that big of a deal I guess. Actually I just recieved my LCD-2's about 15 minutes ago and found that it was a lot less loud and volume seems more manageble (I can turn up the amp another notch and Itunes volume is...

    REVIEW: HLLY DMK-IV DAC / headphone amp / pre-amp)

    I really enjoy this DAC... I've talked about it in another post, I'll quickly summarize by saying, yes, it's clear, it's very liquid and yet crisp. It's neutral and yet it presents all I'd expect to hear across all the frequencies.   However, I have had a few issues... 1) Overheating...

    Cables, the role of hype and the missing link.

    This is all really interesting and good timing in my case as I just ordered some LCD-2's and then stumbled upon a certain review which gave a lot of credence to a very expensive after-market cable. My first thought is that I'm not going to spend half the price of my headphones on just a cable...

    My first Head-fi setup...

    Thanks!  Feel free to be even more sorry, I just pulled the trigger on some LCD-2's five minutes ago.  My girfriend is going to kill me...   Quote:

    K701 thread

    Another lo-fi comfort mod I just did last night... I took some soft foam (I think this actually came from out of the K701 box but not sure as I've received several packages lately) and used it to make some spacers so the headband exerts less pressure on my head: Because I have a big...

    DAC for Downmixing Surround Sound?

    According to Sony's info here, The PS3 output over Optical can do Stereo as well as 5.1 Dolby. If you do not want the 5.1 at all, then in theory, any dac with an optical in should work. I've also found threads on this forum who mention using a DAC with their...

    I've got a $1000 to blow. Tell me what to buy.

    I just thought I'd post an update since my gear arrived yesterday: As you can see I went for the HA-160 with a seperate DAC instead of the HA-160D. This was because I had already placed a bid on the Hlly DAC and also because Burson had indicated they would soon be releasing a stand alone...

    DAC for Downmixing Surround Sound?

    Hi, I'm not sure I understand your full situation but I was interested in the topic as well. So are you looking to go out of your PS3 as your source? And you are needing to send the surround sound to something, yet still retain a stereo signal for your TV or headphone amp? It sounds like...
