Thank you so much guys

I need to shorten the long standard cable of my HD650 and a friend who’s in DIY agreed to do that for me. However, he is not in hi-fi cables and we kindly ask for the advice of DIYers from Head-Fi.   -Which 1/4” Neutrik plug to use? (B&H has 3 differnet Neutrik...) -Soldering iron or gun...

  Quote:   This is the first time I read about different versions of the HD650. Could you give some more info about it?

To Lunatique and Windsor:   Thank you so much for your prompt and valuable replies. People with your experience, knowledge and willingness to help make this community very beautiful!

Just finished reading this PhD level thread and I am trying to organize my questions. This will take a lot of time, so first let me thank all the people who contributed their opinion here, even though often they added more confusion to the brain of the newbie (myself in that case…)  ...

Quote: Just FYI... Probably they know it's hard to find so they made one that sells for $75. However (DACport with RCA cable)  vs  (D7) = $475 vs $200 (aprox)!   http://centrance.com/products/reserveseries/

Thank you so much for your replies guys, newbie in headphones and forums (fora!) in general but it is more than clear that we have a very beautiful community here!

The question was for uelover...it seems that I have to learn more about navigating and posting in various threads...sorry for that   Just a newbie and wondering if  I can use the D7 with my Audioengine 2 powered speakers. (they do have RCA connectors and volume control). However the main...

Any opinion about DACport compared to D7? Is it worth paying the double or the difference in the price is mainly because of more expensive production (made in USA vs made in China) and brand name? Anybody who had/has both? Thank you!

Dearest Head-Fi community members, I would much appreciate any real-life opinions about upgrading from a Fiio E10 to the Centrance DACport from people who have tried both. Just a newbie in the headphones world, but a recent purchase of a Benchmark DAC1-HDR made very clear that I need to...

Any real-life opinion about an upgrade from a Fiio E10 to the DACport?  Just a newbie in the headphones world, but a recent purchase of a Benchmark DAC1-HDR makes it very clear that I need to upgrade my portable DAC/Amplifier solution. I play with Beyerdynamic DT880/250ohm and Sennheiser...

Objection: There will always be newbies like me reading old threads (especially when looking for answers to questions like cables and their placebo or non placebo effects....!!)

The good news is that you live in the States. The even better news is that there are so many sellers who offer a trial / return period for their products. Given that every single room is a totally different sound environment my suggestion would be, on condition you have the time for it, try...

I always keep in my mind that different heads have different shapes... Some come with hair some without... What is more, every pair of ears is different from others... Shapes, sizes, sensitivity to touch and pressure... All factors that can dramatically affect the way people feel about a...

A few thoughts: It is true that in basic macroeconomics higher demand means higher prices, but I hope that a superficial article of the (well respected) NY Times cannot have a huge effect on prices. In my thinking, there are thousands of people who have no idea about the quality of sound...
