ACS T1 Custom Review and impressions thread!
I still have them, but never even thought about selling them. Do you think I could get a few dollars for them? I would never have thought that as (1) they're broken (how many drivers are OK and how many aren't I know not), (2) they're custom fit so aren't going to do anyone else, and (3)...- gerry123456

ACS T1 Custom Review and impressions thread!
Thanks for the info. I guess if it was the first time they'd broken and I was outside warranty then I would probably get the ACS Revivo and pay for the refurb. However, after my bad experiences, it's hard to see that as anything but throwing good money after bad! Such is my lack of...- gerry123456

New ACS T1 Customs
In case it help others I just wanted to post a quick report of my long-term experience (since mid-2013) with ACS T1s. Unfortunately it's bad news! They have just broken AGAIN (see details below) and they're now outside warranty, so I'm sadly going to just cut my losses and throw them in the bin...- gerry123456

Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread
Quote: I bought my TH900s as a 'B' grade pair from hifiheadphones directly. They were priced at I think it was 1350, which is a good saving on the retail of 1500. I negotiated them down to 1250 with free delivery. I have seen other 'B' grade ones on the hifiheadphones site at the...- gerry123456

Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread
Quote: Never had the others, but I had the ED8s. Sure they're a valid consideration, but IMO they have way more issues (metallic highs, lack of detail, price way too high for the overall sound quality, their shape may mean they annoy your ears) than the Fostex. No point going deeper...- gerry123456

Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread
Quote: I use the EQ setting below in foobar2000. Sounds really sweet to my ears. Disclaimer: I love mids. This really brings them, and to an extent the highs, forward. However, the sound is still balanced IMO. YMMV- gerry123456

Quote: Perfect! Many thanks! I can confirm I have now kept the Fostex TH-900s I got recently, so I'll bring them (in addition to my other gear). Look forward to hearing them on any capable amps - they're very low impedance, so hopefully someone will have something suitable.- gerry123456

Quote: Welcome. I haven't got the HD700s, so can't give a direct answer. What I would say is that the Fostex TH-900 are a great headphone in their own right. I have the Grado PS1000, which, depending on who you believe, are either a world-class fantastic headphone, or utterly...- gerry123456
