My ex sent me this and I think it's a riot! From http://www.sixsixfive.com

Which topic is the hottest issue here?

This way we can keep the Senn bashing in here and the AKG bashing in the other. As before, I'll start the bashing: The Senns are veiled and boomy.

And keep it out of my thread about the cable mod. If you are happy with your 501s then DON'T DO THE MOD!! I'll start the bashing. The 501s are light on the bass and are shrill on the highs.

...out of) is dB=10 log(G) which is only useful when G is a watts value. Uggh! Now I'm so confused again!! So, in our case, calculating *voltage* gain, which of these formulas is accurate: dB=10 log(Vout/Vin) or dB=20 log(Vout/Vin) *when dealing with amps the Vin is...

...(but that could just be because I havent been able to listen to them in a few weeks). Regardless of performance against the HD600s the new cable *removed* and low-bass extension problems that existed before. I'm still evaluating the cable as a whole and I have preminarly noticed that the...

Any suggestions of a good, no, great performance and recording of this masterpiece? It's my favorite Mozart composition. The melody is so airy and the voice leading used in this piece makes me think that if he were alive today he would be playing piano in a jazz bar in Manhattan. I'd love...

How is it that, as a guitarist, I slept through the 90's and never heard this band before? Sure, I've heard *of* them but assumed that it was a group from the mid-to-late eighties that was a bit washed-up. Now *why* did I think this? After making a comment on the Rush's Vapor Trails thread...

I can't seem to find this anywhere.... Maybe it's just that intuitive but I'm an idiot so I'll ask anyway. Given that one knows the following: Headphone sensitivity Headphone impedance input power (what are we looking for here, mW, V??) desired output dB at full-volume (or no input...

Stupid polls... whats your opinion?

...of yet except the LM6171s that are in my modded Corda HA-1 (upgraded power caps, posted in another thread). Being the impatient SOB I am I just *had* to drop in the 637 (this is the one of the ones I was really intrested in) into my modded Corda HA-1. After lifting pins 1 and 5 out of the...

...out the awful digital artifacts that can be heard in 44.1khz sampled audio? I'm planning on upgradeing some sources here in the near future and I am *very* intrested into hearing peoples thoughts on this. Let's *please* refrain from getting into technical arguments here and stick to topic!!

Couldn't really figure out which form to post this one to... Yesterday I read some hearsay that spoke of someone taking a wireless RF transmitter/reciever in the GHz range meant for wireless video transmission. The claim is they plugged an SPDIF coax into the transmitter and was able to...

...With this in-mind I would like an uber-CD Changer to use a a transport. The first requirement might seriously blow me out of the water though as it *must* support a *minimum* of 500 discs!! More would actually be better. All I can really find are 400 disc changers. Other features that...

I *LOVE* TI's free sample policy! OPA2604AP 3 3 items shipped on 6/14/02 OPA637AP 3 3 items shipped on 6/14/02 OPA637BP 3 3 items shipped on 6/14/02 OPA2132P 3 3 items shipped on 6/14/02 OPA2132UA 3 3 items shipped on 6/14/02 OPA627AP 3 3 items shipped on 6/14/02 OPA627BP 3 3 items...

...while I'm at it. I'm also considering adding a buffer between the power rails after the voltage regulators to ensure the opamps are being fed *exactly* the same voltage on the + and -. While the voltage regulators are good they are speced to go a quarter of a volt either direction. The...

This weekend I decided to hook my Corda into my DVD player, a Toshiba SD-2109. I was absolutly blown away with the clarity and dynamics. The detail that was pulled out was amazing. It was the same effect as when I added a headamp into the mix. It was as if I was hearing the CD for the first time...

I've decide that redbook is here to stay... With that in-mind I am looking for a source that does some magic to the high-frequencies. I *clearly* notice on some vocals this god-awful nasty distortion above the vocals. It sounds like fignernails on a chalkboard to me. Currently the best...

Whatever mod gave me that title... One could and should consider antibacterial soap as self-defense. Bad karma comes from the *intent* to do harm to anotehr living thing. Stepping on an ant by accident and torturing an ant with a can of liquid air are two totally different things from a...

...copy I have is just awful. Low bitrate MP3, artifacted like mad and not consistant with the encoding. The inconsistant encoding tells me that *someone* out there has a quality copy. This is what I'm after... Any ideas where one can find a high-quality bootleg CD of material that was...

Lately I've *really* been digging "Kind of Blue" and I've heard some other Miles Davis on some jazz stations lately. I really dig the 'standards' where there is an intro, solos, and then the cadence. Any recomendations on Davis (or others)?

And it's a biggie... My cat things it's tasty. This is *NOT* a good thing with a $100 cable! Any ideas? If I had to choose between the Clou or the cat, the Clou would go! Of *ALL* the things for her to chew on she has to choose the $100 cable!! BTW, no real damage has been done yet.

Thx utdeep! But I can't use them yet. I'm an idiot and forgot the Clou Red had the 1/4" jack instead of the 3.5mm jack. And of all the adapters I have around here not a single one is what I need (isn't that how it always is?)!!! Anyway I sampled out of my Sony reciever and it sounded...

I don't like it. The springy strain relieve was no good for grounding I thought. Any suggestions for a mini plug that will fit a cable this size?

As promised in another thread, I'd like to start a discussion about a few CD choices that will show off good low bass extension to compare the AKG K-501s to the HD600 with a Clou Red. I'll start out with Stings Brand New Day, the very begining of the very first song "A Thousand Years". So...
