    Roll call: Indians staying in India, interested in high end headphones/IEMS

          I have a HD800 setup primarily drive them through Chord Hugo. I bought a Lehman LC precisely because they had amazing synergy with HD800. Wonder what went wrong there.   Let me know if interested. Cheers.

    Nuforce Primo 8 - an Audiophile Phase Coherent Quad Balanced Armature Driver IEM - Impressions

    I have been using the Primo 8 for almost a year. I have always liked thinner to neutral sound signature (B&O H6, AKG 701, Senn HD800, and HiFiman LE-5). Also I bought this to replace my Ethymotic ER-4. I guess that knowledge is critical to gauge my experience with the unit.   1. The color...

    I took far less photos as I was preoccupied.

    Roll call: Indians staying in India, interested in high end headphones/IEMS

    @wrathzombie, I had the same problem when I first got into high-end listening. I drove close to 300 miles to listen to HD-800 and was disappointed. I was disappointed with Orpheus system as well at first and also the STAX systems. I was so used to listening to music a certain way that my mind...

    Bangalore, India Meetup - 21st June 2015 | Headphone Connect

    This was a wonderful meet and I am glad I got my gear along and looks like everyone enjoyed it. I wish I could have got my Mac, ALO Audio Key and NuForce HAP 100 along as well. May be next time.   I spent the whole meet demoing my AK 100 II > Optical Out > Chord Hugo > Moon-Audio Silver Dragon...

    The Fiio X5 Thread

    I am listening to X5 line out to Just Audio AHA-120 and B&O H6 and the sound is really pleasing. It is not analytical and makes the H6 play at a different level to what it is used to. Without the amp, X5 still drives the H6 but the sound does not seem controlled and clean to my ears. X5 really...

    Chord Hugo

    Of late I have been listening to Hugo and B&O H6 on the go and Sennheiser HD800 at home. It really makes both of those headphones shine no matter what I throw at them. My experience with both those headphones have been that they are very alike and very picky with the components attached to them...

    Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6 Discussion Thread

    In my experience the sound quality changes drastically with an amp. I have tried it on iPhone 5S (FLAC/Onkyo HD player) but the cans opened up more in my transportable setup of iMod (Rockbox + FLAC) + Just Audio AHA120. I was quite happy with the transportable rig but then I plugged my iMod to...

    Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6 Discussion Thread

    I first heard H6 on my layover in London and I knew that I wanted it. I am not a bass head and I always gravitated to the headphones that are more neutral. The ones I always cherished and carried around were all what can be termed as bass light (Etymotic ER4, AKG K701, Senn HD800, HifiMan LE5)...

    Just Audio AHA-120 Appreciation Thread

    I have had this amplifier since 2011 and I have often wondered why it is not well appreciated here. I have paired it with many headphones but I love it most with my Denon AH-D7000. I have not modified the gain yet to try that with Sennheiser HD-800 with Moon-Audio Silver Dragon Cable but without...

    Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI)

    Well amp in one pocket and the iPod in another . There is no way I can listen to it on the go but in a bus/train/office where I am mostly sitting, this is just amazing. I have not come anything closer to this in sound signature yet in the semi-open / closed category.    Just Audio AHA-120 is...

    Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI)

    My portable system is made up of iPod Video (iMod by Red Wine Audio) + Alo line out Cable + Just Audio AHA-120 + Cardas 1/4 to 1/8 converter and Denon AH-D7000. I tried various headphones and in-ears from Denon (AH-D2000, AH-D5000), Sennheiser (HD595, HD439, PX100), Ethymotic Research (ER4)...

    Battle Of The Flagships (58 Headphones Compared)

    Quote:   Quote:   I am in agreement with Preproman. I found that my HE-5 LE with Moon Audio Silver Cable was much better than HE-500. HE-6 trounced them both for me.   David, Have you heard the HE-5 LE Could you kindly include them in your review as well? Thanks
