    4.50 star(s)
    Hi guys, it’s been a while. I’ve been meaning to write a review on these for quite some time. These are just my own personal experiences, views and opinions. As usual, no freebies & no loaners.

Audio set up used: 16/24bit uncompressed lossless music, optical TosLink cable, Nordost Brahma power cable, Teac UD-503, custom solid core copper silver gold XLR cables, Stax SRM-006T, custom solid core copper silver gold power cable. This is a review of the Lambda Professional. These are just my impressions, opinions, views and experiences with them. I purchase all my many cans (all blind, risky but fun), no freebies or samples. Design, build & comfort. Well these use a thicker and stronger plastic than the SR-202 and...

    Hello all. My Clear has been burned in for 200 hours and were used balanced via 4 pin XLR.

I reviewed the great Utopia, the Elear and the Elegia. So here is my take on the Clear (just the Stellia left I guess). I have expressed my views on the previously...

    My Denon AH-D7200 review. Hi audiophiles. My AH-D7200 were burned in for at least 200 hours and were used balanced via 4 pin XLR. My audio connective trail and set-up: 16 and 24 bit WAV uncompressed and lossless files, optical TosLink cable, Teac UD-503, Nordost Brahma power cable, Nordost Tyr XLR cables, Violectric HPA V181 headphone amplifier, Nordost Brahma power cable. So I’ve not really had many Denon cans, I’ve had more Fostex cans. Just didn’t happen but I’m so glad and pleased I got these beauties. I have to say I really like...
  6. Audeze LCD2 Planar Magnetic Headphones

    4.50 star(s)
    Hello audiophiles. I have reviewed a few headphones here on Head Fi, including the Audeze LCD-3 pre-fazor and the LCD-X. But for some reason or another, I never got round to finishing my review of a LCD-2. I have had the fazor and classic versions previously but this is a review of the LCD-2 pre-fazor, probably revision 2. They were manufactured in October 2012 and have angled metal mini XLR connecters on the ear cups. My audio connective trail and set-up: 16 and 24 bit WAV uncompressed and lossless files, optical TosLink cable, Benchmark...

  8. Focal Elegia

    4.50 star(s)
    Hello all. My audio connective trail and setup: 16 & 24-Bit WAV lossless files, Foobar2000 with WASAPI event output, Digital optical toslink cable, Chord Qute Ex with a MCRU linear power supply, a custom 6 core pure silver litz RCA cable, Graham Slee Solo with PSU1. Mine have been burned in for about 50 hours. I’ll get the negatives out of the way first. That stock cable. It is a poor choice from Focal to include it with these stunning cans. I find it microphonic, too short and far too rigid and stiff. Seriously, what where they...

  10. Beyerdynamic T90 Premium Stereo Headphone

    4.50 star(s)
    Hi everyone. My cans have been burned in for at least 150 hours. I am pleased there is a lot of love for the T90 here on Head-Fi, it is worthy of it. These cans are light and very comfortable. The ear pads are of high quality and are easily replaceable. I think they are quite small full size open back circumaural cans and they look classy and neat. The grills/mesh look great. I’ll be trying out some leather ear pads soon, just because. Credit to Beyerdynamic for the weight, comfort and looks : ) Build quality is good but I do not like the...

Where do I begin with these cans? So much has been written about them, the "great and legendary" HD 800. So much contrasting views, opinions, reviews and articles. I might keep this one short... I think the question you must ask yourself before hearing them is: how...
