HP3000 Glamor shots
I saw this and decided to throw in my 2c. I once owned these maple HP3K's and decided to have my own pair commissioned with the V2 setup (closer drivers). Obviously I ended up keeping the new ones.. I found them to have the ideal balance of the warm and bass of the maple HP3K (V1) and the...- wakked1

Best amplifier $2000 and under?
So far I'm really happy with my new GCHA. I can't find fault with it, which is a refreshing change. In A-B mode I might be able to find some issue but not right now. Its nice to be done with the amp shopping thing.- wakked1

Porta Corda USB vs. Total Bithead vs...
I had the previous Bithead Total vs Porta Corda III USB and prefer the latter. The Porta had a more balanced, natural and relaxed presentation. The Bithead was a bit bright and somewhat of a mild bass-boost feel to it. Considering that might make it better for sennheisers but too bright for...- wakked1

Quick question about Grado HF-1's and ear pain
Wierd. Since I listen to headphones like 4 hours a day I got curious about this & bought a ratshack db meter. Set it to my normal moderate listening volume and racked up about 65 db, occasional peak of 70 db. 90 db is pretty damn loud imho.- wakked1

Bye Bye HF-1s
You could once buy the HP-2 for like $500. Why not go back in time and snag a pair?- wakked1

Generating Impulse Responses for Foobar
That's great information, than you very much for posting this! I'm guessing for a simple EQ I could just truncate the WAV to 1 sample and apply the EQ?- wakked1

Review: K701 vs 2006 DT880
Nice review. In terms of the extension in the very low end, the amp makes a big difference. My new GCHA goes waaaaay deeper & stronger in the bass with the DT880 than either the Gilmore Lite or HA1-MKII could. It is not a subtle difference.- wakked1

Dt880 or K701 for TUBES?
I think the DT880 sound gorgeous with a little EQ to take the edge off the treble spike... -5db @9k does it, then I add +6db @ 14 and flat elsewhere.. sounds great to me.- wakked1
