    The AKG K550 Impressions and Discussion Thread!

    Allo moi j'suis de Québec l'autre bord du pont ;)   I just got these last week and honestly they really need breakin time to get rid of the annoying peak in the sibilant area. At first listening session they were going back to canadacomputer. I let them play pink noise for over 100h at ultra...

    Matrix M-Stage amp review: simple, cheap, and excellent.

    I never tried the stock opamp until around two weeks ago. I wanted to see how this little piece could change the overall sound of the amp.   Stock sound pretty much like most   ok solid state amp while the opa627 clearly borrow the fun sound signature of a tube amp. I find the sound much more...

    Matrix M-Stage amp review: simple, cheap, and excellent.

    I received my burson few hours ago and honestly i wished the m-stage was there up  to its level so i could return it and my wallet would have been happier. , It's in a different league honestly, soundstage wise it makes the hd650 shine like never before. Not a hint of 'sennheiser veil and a...

    Matrix M-Stage amp review: simple, cheap, and excellent.

    I just ordered a Burson ha-160 to replace my M-stage as my bedtime amplifier. I hope a get a signifiant difference, otherwise the m-stage can stack up to a 800$ amplifier

    Best Ipod Dock/DAC for the money?

    Other idea would be to replace the ipod by another 'portable' source ( pretty much anything that ain't a laptop or computer) and that i could chnage song while being half asleep. I'd prefer if  it bypass the internal amp so i can use the matrix m-stage (rca or usb dac... no sure it'S great)  ...

    Best Ipod Dock/DAC for the money?

    Yup i've got an LOD cable to rca as now (cable cost like 60$) , but i need to upgrade something (upgradis sickness i guess)   Is the HTR worth it, how does it compare to a 230$ standalone DAC?

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    I'm currently owning a Matrix M-Stage to power my hd650. I'd like to know what would be a good update in the amp market as now? It's my bed setup so it's hooked directly into the  ipod classic 6gen  dock out.   Buying a Dac that won't be reading my 320kps mp3 is kinda out of question, as it's...

    PX100-II Review | Discussion Thread

    I've had like 30min of A/B testing with the hd650 and i thought they were pretty similar without comparing them side to side but they aren't that much similar.     First i'm not sure if this is normal but the px100-II bass on my unit really has arkward problem It bleed alot in the lower...

    PX100-II Review | Discussion Thread

      I got them yesterday and maybe I had 5 hours of listening so far. They sound great, honestly they do sound quite similar to hd650. I'll be able to a/b them once the px100-II will be burned... I'm pretty sure i'll be quite impress   The bass is already better extension than the modified...

    Matrix M-Stage amp review: simple, cheap, and excellent.

    I just tried the stock opamp since i had the amp with the 627 already installed and the difference is quite big. The stock one make the music less dynamics imo.   I ordered a LM4562, but until i get it i'll be putting the 627 back for sure :)
