    La Figaro 339

    I think I have figured something out...   If I leave the amp powered off but hooked up to a wall socket, without my headphones connected - this problem I mention above appear.   If I leave the amp powered off but hooked up to a wall socket, with my headphones connected - it doesn't seem...

    Hifiman HE-500 or Sennheiser HD 650

    @Hifiman Yeah, I'm also using the 5998s, together with rca reds 5693. I almost like Sylvania 7236 as much as the 5998s tho. The 5998 are not "leagues ahead" in my book. If you like airyness, I acctually think you will prefer the 7236. 5998 are more about heft, body and tubiness (whatever that...

    HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.

    @Acapella Thanks! The model was HA-160 and it was unable to blow life into HE-500. Very closed-in. I acctually thought the headphones were boken, until La Figaro 339 brought them back to life!

    I have now had the Hifiman HE-500s for over two month, I thought I'd chime in on some thoughts.   First, I want to let everyone know where I'm coming from.   I'm not the usual head-fi-expert. In fact, I dont really have much experience with head-phones at all at a serious level.   I...

    La Figaro 339

    So yesterday the repair guy called me. Tested it for 10 hours, he said. Found nothing wrong with it!  Puzzelled, I picked it up, went home, plugged it in, and experienced the problem after 3 secs! (just to be sure it's not something else, I tried other signal cables, other headphones, other...

    Quote:   Yeah, I really hope so!!   I friend of mine that lives hundreds of miles from me is coming up for a visit this weekend and I have been bragging about my La Figaro to him. He is ofc eager to hear it. If I don't have it then he will think im just boasting

    La Figaro 339

    Yeah, I just took a chance and left it just now with the repair guy on my lunch break. I told them it's a clean design so hopefully.....   Wall-E, thanks, but I was thinking more of schematics like in "put on paper" - like a plan of a building.

    La Figaro 339

    Hey guys!   My right channel broke down this weekend. Volume is either lowish compared to the left channel, or the same as the left channel but heavily distorted and kind of "wobbly" if that makes any sense.   I talked to a service shop and they don't know if they can fix it without...

    LCD-2 (especially the Rev2 Driver) or HE-500??

    I DO love it! It's just that this problem with the right channel is bugging me...   It is not a tube issue - I have tested several with same results.

    Quote:   Ha ha, mos def!     My damn 339 just started behaiving bad on the right channel. Distorting and lowering the volyme in comparison with the left channel... Now I'm gonna have to find a service shop... Bad weekend!!

    LCD-2 (especially the Rev2 Driver) or HE-500??

    Yes, I very much like them.    If I could just find a headphone that sounds like this from the output of a smartphone, I wouldn't have any reason to gaze at speakers anymore as the portability easily outwages the lack of depth in soundstage!   I actually also find them very comfortable...
