Sorry but this is marketing CRAP. There is nothing special about a motorized pot, especially one that uses a commercially off the shelf ALPS pot. Majority of remote controlled Chinese Integrated Amps have them. The Melos Photentiometer is a unique design though, as far as I know nobody else...

Upon reading how comfortable they are on your ear considering they are buds, I gave them a try. When people say they have rolled off treble and sound muddy, those are kind words. It is the MUDDIEST sounding headphone I have ever heard. The treble and most of the midrange isn't just "rolled" off...

very nice! I got an old school (70's) Seamaster 1010. My dad gave it to me. about the so-called tier 1 watches, I think it's mostly hype, especially the price. http://www.thewatchquote.com/List-Pr...tch-No_977.htm if the skymoon blah blah was made in china they would be assembling at...

I have been there the last 3 years. Highly recommended!!! Compared to the New York, or Winter CES in Vegas this show is much, much less crowded so you have a better chance at seating at the "sweet spot" in any given room. You'll get to hear so many systems your ears will be overloaded!! You...

I guess I am one of the few people that has heard singlepower and bada ph12. I heard the topline single power amps at the rocky mountain audio fest 2 years in a row. ( I believe it was a maestro driving rs-1, and supra driving recabled hd650.) I did not feel "wow" with the $$$$ rig. I didn't...

In my opinion Metal is the absolute worst music genre for sa5000. most metal albums i have heard (80's) sound thin, totally lacking warmth and midbass punch with the sa5k's, they are literally unlistenable.

Excellent review! I kept a k701 for a week and I initially thought I liked the sound. But the more I listen to it the more I find there is something 'missing' about the sound. I can't really describe the 'missing' elements but you certainly did. I agree that it sort of takes away the emotion...

I am going to chime in here for a change. For those of you that keeps talking S**t about Bada when you have never heard it please stop! We all have different ears and hear differently. I have almost exactly the same setup as drarthurwells. Sa5k is my favourite headphone of all the...

Under some unusual circumstances I have discovered that my HF-1 serial number 278 is missing from my house. The only strangers I have had in my house were 2 painters I hired to do the interior painting. They were in the house for 2 days. They seems like decent guys and I have no proof that they...
