    The Koss ESP950 thread (ESP owners, please contribute! :)

    I went with 3A https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015H0UPWU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 no issues. I also had 110 to 220 convertor, and used included 220v adapter for a week, no issues either. edit: to be completely precise, 110V 3A adapter is plugged into isolation...

    The Koss ESP950 thread (ESP owners, please contribute! :)

    Hi. Could anyone suggest reasonable 110v power supply for E90? I ordered esp95x from massdrop, but it comes with 220v supply, so I need to buy something. I followed few links to mouser/digikey from this thread, but they point to out of stock products. If anyone has mouser link to a quality...

    Sennheiser HD800 vs Audeze LCD-2 (Rev 2) vs Denon D7000 Shootout

    It so happens that I own all three phones HD800S, D7000 and LCD 2.2F. First a little disclaimer: I am hard of hearing.  My eardrum hearing is fine, but I do have skull hearing problems and I use hearing aids.  Because of that, I avoid expressing my opinions of the sound etc.  Besides, I try...

    Audeze LCD-2 Impressions Thread

    You are correct - this is true for our physical universe of imperfection and randomness.  Yet, my abused list (each with at least 2-3 of years of higher than average volume use): AKG K702, DT990Pro, ATH M50 and AD700, HD650 - and the only failure was with LCD2f.  But you're right, I'll cease...

    Audeze LCD-2 Impressions Thread

    Thanks cjc - Audeze was awesome in granting warranty.  They also said that replaced driver gets full 3 years of warranty.  It is just I am deciding whether to sell ticking bomb or I was just very unlucky.  I love LCD-2F sound :)   BTW - is there any indication that Audeze drivers fail due to...

    Audeze LCD-2 Impressions Thread

    Dear fellow Head-Fi`ers,   I wonder, how is your reliability experience with LCD-2?   I've reached the end of the road in my head-fi search.  I am keeping 4 phones: dt770pro for abuse/kids/gaming, D7000 for privacy, LCD-2 for middle ground between open and closed cans, and HD800S for best...

    FiiO E11K &A3 Portable Amplifier Info/News Thread (Early Impressions)

    e11k is not a DAC, it is amplifier.  So it takes in analogue signal in, not digital.

    FiiO E11K &A3 Portable Amplifier Info/News Thread (Early Impressions)

    Hi fellow head-fi'ers   I am going on a trip and just discovered that laptop can't give me enough volume on Denon D7000.  I want to grab something basic to amplifying job done.  From skimming the thread, it looks like it should do the job, still, can anyone confirm E11K will be powerful enough...

    Review by 'TheIronnWolf' on item 'JDS Labs The Element'

    I am not going to comment on the sound of The Element, as to me this is electronic device, and there's not much to describe without measured values, which are posted on JDS Labs site (I am engineer by trade, numbers is my language). My ear did not notice any gaps in their testing, no weird...

    Can electrostatic headphones damage electronic equipment (hearing aids)?

    Thanks for all the replies. I get feedback (whistling) if I push anything against hearing aids. In most full size dynamic headphones that's not a problem, there's a gap between microphone and the driver, so no problems. I have to keep cell phone (or any phone) tiny bit away from the ear to use...

    Can electrostatic headphones damage electronic equipment (hearing aids)?

    Thanks, that sounds reassuring. It's just high voltage used in drivers made me concerned, but I am not electrical engineer. Someone on this forum also mentioned they felt tingling or hair standing up with such phones. But you're right, as long as there's no ESD there's not much to worry about.

    Can electrostatic headphones damage electronic equipment (hearing aids)?

    Hi,   I have rather unusual question, but I know there are people who understand electronics better than me on this forum and I wonder what they think.   I wear hearing aids, in the ear ones. I listen to dynamic headphones while wearing them, and had no problems (essentially equalizer but...

    Schiit Valhalla has been shipped......reviews, impressions and musings.

    I am curious if anyone got a chance to compare Valhalla to Maverick TubeMagic A1 side by side? I've read through this thread but did not find anything. Search on A1 thread only yields someone asking the same question :)   It would also be interesting to hear similar thoughts about Valhalla...
