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.- sree

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...- sree

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...- sree

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...- sree

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...- sree

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...- sree

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...- sree

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)...- sree

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...- sree

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...- sree

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)...- sree

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- sree
