I've been using an HT Omega Claro Halo sound card along with the Ultransone HFI-580's for a couple months now and I'm loving the sound quality they produce. But I'd like to try swapping out the op-amps of the Claro Halo to see what kind of improvements it could bring. Especially considering HT...

I would just go to his house.

You guys don't like Bose. We get it.

That dude's livin' the dream right there.

Been listening to my new HFI-780's for a few days now, and I'm absolutely in love. These cans rock my socks off. But, in true Head-fi fashion, I'm now wondering what I could buy to make them sound even better and I'm hoping I could get a few recommendations. I'm not looking to get too crazy...

I'm coming from Triports as well and you're welcome to follow my thread here. I was somewhat disappointed with the Audio Technica A700's.

omgomgomg, I just ordered the HFI-780's! I actually found a local store that carries high-end headphones - Guitar Center. So I swung by there yesterday and tried a few out. Long story short, they had a pair of Ultrasone DJ1's on hand and they absolutely blew me away. Very comfortable, an...

After digging deeper into this forum I am now reading that the D2000's too need an amplifier to get the most out of them. It's not that I'm against amplifiers, but I'm trying to protect my wallet from that slippery slope. I'm also reading that the D2000's have fairly poor isolation - which is a...

Hmmmm, never mind I guess. They’re an all plastic construction and the thin aluminum veneer on the ear cups is just for decoration. “S-Logic Natural Surround Sound” is one of the funniest examples of market speech I ever encountered. It doesn’t do anything for the soundstage or spatial...

I've actually heard from other places that the DT-770's require an amp, so I will scratch those off the short list. Never considered the the 250's though. They certainly seem more geared towards PC applications. They're ugly as sin though - which I'm not sure matters much to me. Quote...

Just found this site and it appears to be the definitive place for headphone knowledge. I did use the forum search, but I'm looking for a bit more tailored advice. I've been using Bose Triports for about the past 3 years now, and I've gone through multiple pairs. Problem is they have horrid...
