    Topping A90

    I just had the same thing happen to me now. The amp was playing on low volume using my Audeze LCD-XC headphones. The headphones were laying on the carpet, and I accidentally bumped the headphones with my foot. All of a sudden I started hearing loud popping sounds come out of the headphones. I...

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    I've used the ZMF Ori and Dan Clark Audio Alpha pads. Both of them significantly decrease the sharpness of the treble, which the stock pads cause to be too painful for me. The Alpha pads are the better of the two for me, making the TH-900 my go-to fun headphones now. I'm fairly treble sensitive...

    Focal Stellia Review, Measurements, Interview - Head-Fi TV

    I didn't see a response to this after scanning the thread, so does anyone know the answer to this question? I thought balanced headphones cables always terminated the cable-headphone connection with TRS jacks, but the stock Stellia XLR cable terminates with a TS jack. Why is that? That doesn't...

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Lol, The Blues Brothers! I think there's still a few of the TH909SB's in stock from a few international vendors. I haven't tried them yet, but I hear they have a much more agreeable tonality out of the box than the TH900. Given the sound that they're going for, though, I'd think I'd end up being...

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Yeah, no problem! I tried taking two photos of me wearing them...sorry that one of them isn't great. My lady friend isn't around to help, and my cats are useless and refuse to do anything.

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    A couple people have suggested the RME ADI-2 DAC, but that's actually the DAC that I'm running that still gives painful treble, lol. At home, I'm running that DAC into an SPL Phonitor X amplifier. I know I can EQ on the RME, but I'd prefer not to have to make heavy adjustments right out of the...

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    I've searched this thread for pad recommendations regarding treble fatigue, but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. So, I figured I'd make a post about it. I've recently managed to get my hands on a pair of TH-900mk2 headphones for a good price. I've enjoyed Fostex's TR-X00 line of...

    Focal Clear headphones

    Thanks for the replies, everyone! After waffling for a while between the Elear pads and the various Dekoni pads, I found a pair of discounted Elear pads and decided to buy those. I'm happy with the pairing! I think there's a very slight loss of detail, but I no longer find the headphones...

    Focal Clear headphones

    Hey guys, First post here, so sorry if I asking something that has already been answered (I'm still trying to understand how to search the answers to questions...) I have a pair of Clears and really love them, but I've been noticing that the highs on them are just a little too fatiguing for me...

    Sliding Headband on ZMF Headphones (Eikon)

    I just purchased a pair of ZMF Eikons. It looks like there's a new-ish(?) system for sliding the headband up and down; rather than moving it up and down a smooth steel rod, there's now a notched rod that's held into place with a screw. The screw is really small and I'm afraid of stripping it...
