Unfortunately availability is going to be a problem with the TH-X00's, since I'll be buying them over amazon.es or some store in Portugal(mainly Fnac), and they are only sold on Massdrop. The Meze's are also non-existent over the stores I've sought, they are only sold on amazon.uk or in...

Hi, it has been a while since I've posted here. I have almost retired from the audiophile scenario because of college related stuff, but now I'm looking forward to a new upgrade in my setup. I'm looking for a non-monitor/neutral type of HPs, mostly because this is the type of signature that I am...

Thank you for the impressions, but since I am in a bit of a dilemma about going from my external DAC to a internal sound board card, let me ask you this: do you use any kind of surround improving software, such as Dolby headphone or CMSS 3D?

They don't, haha, I thought this would create confusion, should have stated it more clearly: if I converted the price of Fidelios in US dollars to Reais(BR), the final outcome with taxation and everything would weight as much as a pair of LCD's had i earned in dollars.

Hi guys, I've been looking into these pair of cans since I heard of their qualities. I am, however, a bit skeptical in buying these without a little further research, since it has been a long time over my last purchase of high-end cans(and when I say this, I say it knowing they are mid tier, but...

What about the 50's?

Could someone please enlighten me with the difference between the IM50's and the 70's?   I'm coming from an Etymotic's HF5 and MC5, both broken by my carelessness; searching for pronounced Mid's and detailed highs(don't care too much about bass, although I do prefer a punchy type): vocals are...

Hi guys, It has been a long while since I thought of doing any upgrade in my rig, but here's the case: I have two main headphones, a Sennheiser HD600 and a Beyerdinamic DT880 600ohms edition, being juiced by a HRT Music Streamer II(the cheaper version) and a Little Dot MKIII. The amp doesn't...

There is a difference in the bit rate, but you wont see it clearly, due to some other caracteristics or not proper audio equipment. You can hear more difference in re-releases in 180g+, however, just in cases that are no convertion to digital(obviously). But if the audio is mastered in digital...

Definetly, CD or digital lossless audio sounds more accurate and a "clean" sounding, but, vinyl still sounds better to my ears, even with all of its defects. Their warm sound, with that caracteristic noise sounds better to me than the "accurate" CD or SACD. So I think that the main "problem" in...

Quote: Yeah, thought so, picking an LP, putting it in the turntable and just staying put there, listening to it it's just an inexplicable experience :)   And paying U$20~50 in a vinyl, that comes with CD or mp3 320k download code it's really nice.

Hi guys, I've been wondering this for a long time, I have a TT MK2, with old vinyls and 180g non-remastered stuff. But all of them date 1990- , so my question is: Are new vinyls worth it? I mean the new releases. I always wanted to buy radiohead, black keys or indie stuff in vinyl, but I'm...
