I have 2 x L30 II topping amps that I've wired up like monoblocks and a Schiit Jotunheim, I always seem to listen to the toppings amps. I'm looking for an upgrade, I have plenty of power from my L30's, is the A90D going to do a better job in some repects e.g. sound stage, details, more slam /...

Totally agree with you there, when you look at the frequency of a microwave and wifi, they are the exact same 2.4Ghz, obviously vastly different powers but still we know what happens to food in a microwave oven. That's not even taking into consideration bluetooth and the frequency of the mobile...

Ok this is a weird one, I have some Monolith M1060C's headphones, I really like these headphones but it seems every time I use them in the evening I end up with sleep issues, like hard to get to sleep and / or waking up early, building up to hours and hours over days. If I use my M50X's I don't...

I have Hifiman Aryas as open backs, they don't disappoint at all but I like it loud to the point I'm worried when it's late the neighbours can hear my music so what I'm looking for is some closed back headphones that are similar to the sound signature of the M50X's but gives me more detail...

There is no right and wrong but I'd argue with the K702 that this has the balanced sound / closer to a reference sound compared to the X2. I like bass, I have subs on all 4 of my audio setups, so for the X2 the bass was very welcome just a pity that as per the review I posted which sums up the...

The bass didn;t bother me, I liked it, what bothered me was simply the lack of emotion they conveyed, exactly why that was the case I'm not sure, whether it's lack of detail, small sound stage, unbalanced high frequencies, or some headphone jiggery-pokery 'thing' they just don't have whatever...

I guess it depends what you're looking for, if you wanted big bass for electro / dubstep then perhaps the Philips Fidelio X2hr might be something you'd like, personally I listen to all sorts of music including electro. The MSR7's and AKG K702's both deliver detail and accuracy not big bass but...

I'm going to answer my own question, is the AKG K702 a better option compared to the Philips Fidelio X2hr in terms of sound quality, sound stage and instrument separation, in a word, yes. AKG K702 = a proper open back, sounds absolutely amazing straight out the box, perhaps a shade lacking in...

Hi, Ok so I have some ATH MSR7's and wanted to experience the same sound quality but with the open sound stage of an open back so I ordered some Philips Fidelio X2hr cans. Doing A/B testing between the headphones it's seems the MSR7's retrieve more detail and sound generally better than the...

Well I said 500Hz that's more of a finger in the air guess, the subs I have are low end but unusual by the fact they're spec'd to respond to 1.5Khz and I can definitely hear he low end of the vocals through them so I can believe the specification of these subs is correct. Of course I don't want...

Yes hires coaxial speakers designed to extend well beyond 20KHz Pioneer TS-Z65F, I know you'll probably say these are garbage but with all this stuff you've got to stick a pin a map and go for it. All products these days have negative reviews, that's what I went for, at least they aren't $30...

Ok so I'm not posting here for a flame session like last time, I'm purely posting for others that may come across this thread and wonder how things turned out. As I said and how I suspected at the time it was a journey of discovery with technical problems to solve, so here's a quick summary...

ok all the more I post all the more this is getting silly, so I'm going to stop posting, but as I've said thanks for your help / time and I'm sure others will read this post in the future, so it's not time wasted, some great advice and knowledge. So if you can't understand what I'm trying to...

ok I'm still not getting how any of this applies to my car setup, I have full range units in the front doors that incorporate a tweeter, the tweeter is located physically in the same place as the mid range driver and looking at my door I don't think I even have space for a separate tweeter...

ok this thread is getting crazy, I can't reply to all the comments, so here's where I'm at. 1. I have no problem with my current 80 PRS in terms of general clarity and sound level, it's clear and loud enough audio, all the lows, mids and highs are there, there is no massive problem to solve in...
