    Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone

    My DT 1990s were delivered today and I finally had a chance to plug them in. I had hyped them up in my mind a lot over the weekend in anticipation so I was bracing for a reality check. I first tried them on my Topping L30/E30 at my desk and they were pretty impressive. The highs caught me off...

    Hiby R6 Pro - serious upgrade to popular DAP

    My R6 Pro was delivered Thursday so I grabbed it from my apartment's office before leaving for work for the night. In my haste I forgot to grab my headphones so I had it in my hands with no way to listen to it. Fortunately I had my laptop and micro SD card so I was able to load it with music and...

    Audeze LCD-2 Impressions Thread

      Awesome! I'll take it under consideration. :)   A lot of what I've read has been that that LCD-2 sound stage is a bit weaker than some of the contenders but I'm actually quite pleased with it. I'm listening to Cat Stevens' Father and Son and I'm enjoying the width of the sound stage. There...

    Audeze LCD-2 Impressions Thread

      I'm glad to hear that they offer a lasting appeal. I'm on an Isley Brothers binge right now and I am really loving what I'm hearing. :)   The Magni + Modi is pretty great with the LCD-2s. It certainly is an awesome rig for most situations (my HE-400s respond well to this setup). I'm...

    Audeze LCD-2 Impressions Thread

    Sorry if this is the wrong thread (I have seen two LCD-2 threads) but I recently got these and have been adjusting to them. My goodness are they comfortable! I've got a decently large head but the weight fits perfectly on my melon. The sound is great, too, but the way they fit is an entirely...

    **Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**

      That's been my experience, as well. I used to use a plugin for JRiver (I'm sure it would work in any other media playback program that supports VST plugins) that was pretty great. It was a parametric EQ that was easy to use and produced great results. The neat thing about it was that I could...

    What Are You Listening To Right Now?

    Dead Letter Circus - Wake Up   I finally changed it up. I've been listening to Beck's Morning Phase for a while. The second track (Morning) sounds great on the HE-400s.

    **Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**

    My HE-400s arrived earlier this evening and it sure does feel good to add them back to my collection. The memories of getting my first pair came flooding back as soon as I hooked them up and hit play. The shock of going from the Ultrasone Pro 900s to the HE-400s is incredible. They sound so...

    **Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**

      Ah, good deal. That's kind of what I figured after digging through some threads on the subject. I wish my experiences with my dad's Denon had been more impressive but that thing was probably entry level or just a hair above in its prime. Actually, I may have lucked out since now I don't have...

    **Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**

        Are you referring to using the headphone output on an old receiver or using the actual speaker outputs to amp the headphones? I used to have my dad's old Denon set up and I never really took a special interest in the headphone output. I liked having the EQ knobs available right on the face...

    = Hifiman Regrilling Mod =

      Absolutely. I went to Walmart today and tried finding a similar product. The closest thing I could find was a pack of three disposable veggie trays for putting on the grill. They didn't have much rigidity so I had to pass. The weave of the mesh was also pretty fine in comparison to what you...

    Schiit Owners Unite

    I've had my Magni + Modi rig for about a month now and it's pretty nice. As far as sound goes, it's an awesome value stack. My only real complaint is the volume knob on the Magni feels considerably cheaper than the big honker on my FiiO E09K. Considering they're in the same price range, I went...

    = Hifiman Regrilling Mod =

        This looks fantastic. I sold my HE-400s a while back but I've got another pair on the way and I think I'll try something like this. I remember messing around with my old pair by removing the grills and it made a nice difference in sound but I never took the steps to actually do the...

    Top 5 Radiohead songs

    Quote:   Absolutely. That was among the first Radiohead tracks that made me want to branch out from their top-of-the-charts tracks (Creep, Karma Police, No Surpises, and the like) that I had been limiting myself to for the longest time.

    The coolest, most mindblowing sounds in music?

    I don't know if I'm following you completely but here's one you might enjoy.     I am probably misunderstanding but it's a good song nonetheless.
