I've got an Alesis QS8.2 88 key synth that I've been using with either my friends amps while jamming or with headphones. I'm looking to get a decent set of amps or monitors that I can play the synth through. I also would like them to playback music tracks accurately, as I hope to use whatever I...

Thanks for the info. Anybody running an 0404 on osx?

My research has led me to claims that the 0202 and 0404 have problems with vista and win7, and that xp is the best windows os for the emus. Also, Im used to using snow leopard and logic to record/edit. Is osx a bad match for the 0404? Thanks.

I sold my laptop a few days ago and made a good deal of cash. With some of the money, I already ordered an emu 0404. I plan on buying or building a desktop to use with it, but I'm wondering which os will work best with the 0404. I'm considering both mac and pc. If anyone has any info for me...

Anybody calling it a "steal" at $29.00 is misinformed. Snow Leopard is barely more than the equivalent of a service pack for Windows, which are free.

As a teenager, many of my peers frown upon my rampant spending of hard earned money on audio gear. Most teenagers see audio equipment as a market that should include nothing more than their iPod or Laptop and a crappy to decent pair of headphones. I personally just don't argue at all and put the...

Most people are hinting at a (general) public distaste for oversized/expensive headphones. Interestingly I once brought my DT880s and a portable amp to school one day when I knew I would be stuck there for awhile after classes ended. I was sitting on a bench just inside the school and the 3 or 4...

Thanks Uncle Erik. I plan to use the Headfive with my HT Omega Claro Plus sound card from my PC. Will this be adequate with the amp and beyers?

Thanks for the input Drubbing. What amp would you suggest?

While reading OP's posts I imagine a foreign billionaire with poor English and a ridiculous ego. The comment about the K701s is classic.

I have a pair of Beyer DT880s arriving tomorrow and I am currently in the process of purchasing a Meier Headfive to compliment them. Does anybody have any information on how good these will sound together? Thanks in advance.

I had a pair of Beyer DT880s that I was in love with for a year until they broke several days ago. I searched and searched for a different pair to buy but I ultimately decided to just buy more DT880s. Bought em earlier today with next day shipping...they'll be here tomorrow!

Simple, effective, and best of all...free!

I really appreciate all of the help so far. Does anybody have any insight on my previous question? If I do buy the DT880s, how will they perform coupled with the Meier Headfive that I am in the process of purchasing?

Uncle Erik, you're making a lot of sense. My motivation to get the K701s over the DT880s is mostly the thirst for novelty. I've had the DT880s for a year now and I love their sound, but getting something different is always exciting (especially if it looks as cool as the K701s). Another factor...
