I think the moral may be that it is objective - there is science behind it that tries to solve a problem, but in the end it's also subjective, because it boils down to personal taste. Whether it be an issue with source, music, amplification, cans, or even psychology, it's hard to say. I've...

I have a few questions about crosstalk and crossfeed and how these distortions/features affect the sound of an amp. First, my understanding of crosstalk is that it is a negative attribute of an amplifier that reduces the soundstage. Crossfeed, on the other hand, is a feature added to amps to...

Thank you all for the suggestions! I'm researching the recommended cans now. Thanks again!

I can't seem to find a search function since the forum upgrade, so unfortunately I haven't been able to research this very much before just firing off a question. I'm looking for something fairly specific, though, and wanted to gather some opinions. I'm looking for a huge amount of isolation...

I thought subscribed threads expired after a while, but after almost a year, this one came back and found me. It's pulling me back, trying to make me buy some SR225's or HD650's!! AHHHH!!!!!!!! But anyway, imokruok, I still have these cans and love them. I think after a proper burn in...

Hey antness, when you read this, would you mind contacting me regarding my pre-order? Email or PM is fine. I've emailed you a few times, but I'm not sure if you're getting them. Thanks!

I just posted how I "fixed" some of the cd's production problems on the Zwan boards. Here's the link: http://zwan.infopop.cc/6/ubb.x?a=tpc...2&m=9896005242 You may not be able to get directly to it without an account. If not, search for the subject "How to "Fix" your Zwan CD" on the "Mary...

Quote: Originally posted by kpfeifle Xerophase: Excellent review, this follows my take on these phones as well. I'm up to about 40 hours of burn in and they just get better & better. Enjoy them! Cool, at least I'm not going insane I'm definitely enjoying them, and I hope you...
