Thank you for the reply, I appreciate it.  I'm excited about owning my first real pair of headphones and I'm just trying to find the best and most cost efficient way to get the most out of them.   Quote:

Excuse my ignorance, I just recently purchased a Beyerdynamics DT 990/600 and I'm looking at purchasing my first headphone amp, so I'm very new to this.   Would the Valhalla be the preferred amp vs the Asgard when used with the DT990?   I listen to a variety of music ranging from Jazz to...

Wow, I found this thread while searching to decide between the DT990 2005 and the current ones, and while I never thought I would be a fan of trance music, I actually enjoyed those two tracks that were posted, thanks. Sorry to get off subject.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll be ordering a Gillmore Light as a christmas gift to myself. Right now I'm using a PIMETA amp. I would assume the 990 is suppose to be a step above the 880 correct? If that's the case why is the 990 Pro cheaper? How many versions of DT 990 are there? Just...

Hey guys, I'm definately still a headphone newbie thats lookin for some advice. I currently own a Grado HF-1. The sound is just amazing. The sound is very detailed and clean, and the bass is tight and accurate. I hear things in songs I've been listening to for a while now that I have never heard...

i just received my HF-1s yesterday. This would be my first set of headphones. I was amazed with the detail, and loved it. I am a bit of a bass head, and all though the bass was accurate, clean and tight, it seemed to rolloff too soon. Basically I'm in the same boat as scubasteve. I'm either...

Well that's great to hear. So shipping starts Monday, I should hopefully get it before the end of the week, maybe in time for Thanksgiving. Thanks again Todd, and ohh....please don't forget my adaptor. HAHA, actually I was hoping that my HF-1s wouldn't be charged to my account until after...

I started wondering about this earlier today. If I was to recable a pair of headphones, how long could I make the cable before SQ stars to suffer from the length of the cable being too long? The Headphones are HF-1s amd I will be running a headamp Gilmore-Lite. I'd like the cable to be at most...

Went to sennheiser site to order the pads. This might seem like an ignorant question, but is the pricing for a pair or just one? It doesn't say if its for a pair or a single pad Again excuse my ignorance

Great resource for a newb like me. My HF-1s are with the last batch that is shipping out. I considered the Sennheiser Pads, but I think now I'll place an order. Also Considered C-Pads, but the price....good lord. Still a possibility though. Thanks for the write up

Todd, are you saying you'll be shipping the remaining 81 HF-1s at the same time, or you ship them out as they come in?

This is the exact amp I will most likely be ordering either as my Christmas Gift to mysels, or shortly after Christmas after everyone elses gift is paid off. My HF-1s should be shipping out to me this week, hopefully.

Well, I never really thought that the recabling would be anything more than at 5% improvement if that. The GRADO's are wired in a way that it seems very simple to do a recable job. So of course I'll be taking a close look at the current wire before I jump in there and start hacking at it. What I...
