Quote: Nice. Good deed, indeed.   I thought someone was going to pay $100 for a Senn HD800 guide. Well, there might be 800 pages. You never know.

Quote:   Yes. I was talking about LCD-3. I asked about how it does for spoken words, because unless it's a trained musician who knows very well how an instrument sounds, we know how spoken words sound (in terms of naturalness) better.

So should I bother having it RMA'ed, if I prefer HD650 over rev. 1 and HE500 in terms of (a) tonal balance and (b) naturalness?   It does not have to be classical music or acoustic music. Can someone use his to watch a movie, and tell me how rev. 2 does for spoken words?

Quote:   I have HE-500 with me here. Also not happy with it for tonal balance and naturalness. Great cans for vocal though (if you can bear with the colored, mid-centric signature).

Quote: I agree with you. It's superb in many aspects. I am just not happy about it's tonal balance and naturalness. As I said, I would rather pick up HD650 for classical music and acoustic music. That's why i wonder if I should bother having it RMA'ed

I am sure it's been discussed before, but could someone tell me how rev. 1 and rev. 2 differs in tonal balance and naturalness? I mean I am happy with LCD-3 for rock, electronic, pop, and other processed music. However, I am quite unhappy with it for vocal, classical, and acoustic music. Indeed...

And you could include an internal switch, making the O2 capable of doing 1x, 2.5x and 6x gain at the same time: How to: O2 with Triple Gain Switch

Just thought some of you might be interested: How to: O2 with Triple Gain Switch

As a general rule, amps perform better at lower gain settings -- the sound is cleaner, background darker, soundstage bigger, and sound less congested! Take O2 as an example. It is considered by many as TOTL comparable; it provides enough juice for power-hungry orthodynamic phones with its...

Sorry if this has already been stated: is your hd800 (with thin bass) of the latest batch?

Quote: .

Quote: I think it is 5.1 easily.

Quote: My bad. Actually these worth five stars: http://www.ifans.com/blog/43537/   P.S. Just to confirm: the full mark is five, right?

Quote: Well, didn't you give ASG-1 a numeric value of 4.8 or 4.9 (out of 5)?

Quote:   Not you, T.

Quote:   If that is the case, FXD80 is better than ASG-1.2, which in turns is better than 1964-Q, W4, Earsonics SM3, Ortofon e-Q7, Vsonic GR07, Sony MDR EX1000, JVC FX-700... Wow...

Quote: ASG1.2 rules!

Quote: Is that legit?

Quote: Brainwavz M4 is a direct upgrade for S4.

Quote: That is Amazing Deals, not Amazon.   And can someone point to me the front page thread about fake Fiio product?

Quote:   Sorry for the noob question: I always thought that the advantages of custom is that they are "tuned" for individual ear (via driver placement, driver angle, etc.), which I thought was important because each ear is different anatomically. And I read that JH Audio "tune" each ear...
