Definitely the soundtrack to Akira

T1's are very good, IMO HD800 is the more technically proficient headphone, and superior in many regards, and rightfully so. But really the T1's are a hell of a lot more fun to listen to in just about every way , theres something about the T1 that just makes me come back to em.

Even though I prefer the T1, I would have to say the HD800, a few years ago I would have said HD600, but with the HD800's microdetail retrieval it cant be topped IMO.

Just got a hold of this album, shipping today! Have to say it's probably in my top 5 favorite albums of all time:     Been listening a lot to him now, anyone have anything similar?:

If you're listening to everything I suggest going with the Classic as its neutral and should be more versatile with everything. And to top it all off the Classic was designed around the T1 headphone so its a great match.

Quote: Corda Classic I really like with the T1 very neutral sounding and has the crossfeed feature which is useful. The M1 adds a nice punch in the low end, and really gives it a nice bassier sound, so if your looking for that I would go with the M1.

Quote: The Burson HA-160, wasn't a good match when I heard it with the T1, so if the soloist is similar sounding I don't know how well it would fair.

Meier Corda Classic, Musical Fidelity M1HPA, Woo WA2. These 3 are quite good with the the T1 IME.

Yea I ment the AudioEngine. I've heard the Maverick D1 a while ago and though it sounded decent, but I don't really remember . 

In my opinion the D1 as a DAC is okay at the price of $170, but I really dislike its headphone amp, its forward sounding and just doesn't sound that dynamic, I wish I had gone with the D7, as it supposed to be a good sounding amp/dac, though I can't compare them as I've never heard it. I regret...

Does the upgraded WA5/WA5-LE, have an increase in the life of the amp? I'm assuming it improves sound, but how so?

Quote: Im thinking about getting a WA5 as well but I'm not exactly sure how the parts upgrade effect the amp, anyone care to way in?

Quote: That sounds like a T1 to me . In all honesty though, I am vastly preferring the T1, though I find the HD800 bass to be superior and I think it is the best bass I've heard to date, but the T1 is more enjoyable since it has more impact thats needed. And since it's more musical than the...

With the M50's yea, they do sound better with a amp+dac, but if you don't want to go portable then look at a desktop amp as they have better sound quality for the price. Though I'm one of those who think when starting out it's best to get an amp and dac combo, like the E7

I've never heard the ultrasone; I thought the SRH750 was good for it's price, but M50 was better overall, both have great bass, but mids on the M50 I found were superior since the 750 sounded a bit artificial to me, I thought the highs were about the same though I don't remember the specifics...
