Very nice! The HD700's gave me tons of great sound. Hope you are still enjoying them. I have since moved on to the HD800S coupled with a Garage 1217 analog kameleon eq and a Schiit Loki mini plus eq (just for a touch of bass boost). I am thoroughly liking the upgrade . However, I feel the...

I agree. The full power mode is spectacular as long as your headphones are at the right impedance where the noise isn't noticeable (and also allows you enough play on the volume). Headphones like the HD800S and HD600S do fine. But lower impedance headphones have issues. Emotiva was going to make...

Guess what... I'm listening to the HD800S !! It's a bit of a mixed bag.

Hey that treble issue and unclean midrange can be significantly reduced by applying the totally reversible no tools modhouse audios HD700 mod kit. If you use both parts, you will have a lot stronger bass, but personally I didn't care for the tone. But using just one (i forgot which one it was) I...

I'm probably going to order the Ether 2 flow headphones to see how well it works.

Hi no you won't barbecue your headphones. I use it with my HD700's which are 150 ohm impedance with the jumpers. I've also used it with headphones that have less impedance. However, you know make sure you have it at minimum volume and increase from there (common sense). Without the jumpers the...

I have the HD700. You would be surprised at what a difference the kit from modhouse makes. It's about $15. It is fully reversible and requires no tools. It comes in two parts. You can use both or just one. A felt ring that encircles the driver and/or three layer felt earpad. Don't want to spend...

Try modhouse hd700 mod kit for the hardness.It's reversible and requires no tools. There are two mods in there and each one affects the sound in diffferent ways.

I thought the platter wobble was fixed? It's still wobbling a good bit in the Sol setup video.

Everyday I appreciate the HD700's more and more. :) I really don't understand why it wasn't more of a hit especially at the relatively low price it was selling for before they got discontinued.

Thanks for the link. Part 1 is 90 pages. Could you point me to a specific page/page range linking to these experiments that show that it can differentiate time intervals better than measuring instruments can?

I read the threads you linked. The "compensatory distortions" only holds if we can specify what distortions are supposed to be positive for subjective listening. For instance if we can't HEAR these compensatory distortions because they are buried so far down in the signal, it doesn't really...

I would like to see some documentation or research that shows that our instruments are insufficient in capturing the subtleties that the ear can tease out. Our instruments can dig way down into the noise floor with greater accuracy than our ears can. While our ears may give out at 60-70 db of...

My conundrum here is that if they measure the same but sound different, then it's our perception that's changing. I have listened to plenty of gear that I have a hard time believing it's all in my head. But I can't reconcile that identically measured gear should sound the same, and (logically)...

Sure choose one recording as described and then use it across the devices. (Make digital copies to keep the recording the same). If you wish to know how loud it needs to be for subjective listening, record a singular test tone at the beginning of the master for volume measurement. Do you have...

I think subjective bias was a misnomer. The brain doesn't hear bias, it hears perception. But my question is the combination of tones rhythms etc. wouldn't they be adequately captured in the minute variations in the signals we can measure? So for instance two dacs with measurements that are...

Something I've been curious about - since measurements describe the actual signal coming out of the piece of gear and can also be used to measure impedance and interactions, what would make it sound different other than subjective biases?

The HD 700 was designed to be made out of completely replaceable parts. Whether Sennheiser still stocks them is unknown. But I would just contact them or go to their website.

Me too please

That's not "perfectly mechanically balanced", that means it's too weak to self-start. Having said that, I DO like fiddling with things ocassionally.

Jason it would be AMAZING if the new Yggy has a remote for input switching. Please and thank you :)

I got you covered. https://www.modhouseaudio.com/hd700-mod/hd700-mod-kit This mod helped me out with mine. If you go with both outer and inner mods there is a lot more bass punch (but personally I didn't like it). Using just one of the mods, I think it was the outer one gave me the slightly...

@Jason Stoddard Curious how you achieve speed stability of the platter's rotation?

I can appreciate that this is a nice looking turntable. But look, I know you would do your research, read the faq, click on the video link, figure it out and click buy. But what do you think Schiit's user base is? I'm imagining relatively young people looking for high value stuff who don't have...

Wow! 1. First it looked kind of sparse for the price. But then I start to appreciate the overall look and the metal I see. I always thought Schiit products looked great and this is no exception. 2. I think you guys are SERIOUSLY under-estimating the support issues that's coming your way. On...
