a_recording: Thanks!  Wow, that is a great post! I have to look into that further... The SM3 looked great.. But how would they compare to the IE8 for example?   yooss: Ok. Any recommendations for how and what kind? Keep in mind, I live in Norway and we don´t have a lot of custom head-fi...

Hi. Been inactive on the head-fi forum for a couple of years now, but thought I´d check back here for suggestions on getting a serious in ear headphone (budget not over 5-600$ :) ).   A little history... I had a pair of Ety ER-4P like five years ago, but had to sell them due to low cash...

I also have the AKG K271S. I love them after they have warmed properly up. I think they sound absolutely fantastic when playing bits of music that have a good defined bass-line and some ( but not much ) ambience/guitars etc. BUT, when I throw a nice portion of heavy bass, guitars, drums...

Update: I've had the 0404 for a couple of days now and I must say the sound improved alot! not as much in dynamic, clarity as I had expected over my old sb live with serious eq-ing, but in the lower region. Using low pass filter really gives it the tight and deep bass I wanted Haven't really...

thanks! 1 x 0404 ordered can't wait. will post results. thanks

well, do you have the volume on your computer set at max then? I don't. if I set the computer sound at max the sound get squeeky and distorted. Yes, I will invest in one of the emu's . Anyone know of a shop with great prices and good service? better support international shipping. European shop...

I've tried EQ-ing like a maniac but it seems that that it doesn't matter how I set it up, the trembeling, but maybe abit boomy bass is missing with the corda.Of course i dont want that kind of bass, but I want to hear and feel the deep bass at least without distortion on a 400$ amp. It might...

I find the bass and the overall sound REALLY great in music such as rap/r&b and e.g. trance that have good recording, but not good on rock/metal music. When playing r&b there is a firm and nice bass as well as crisp clear highs, but when I play original CD's with metal e.g Dream Theater (that I...

Hi! I've just bought myself a used Meier Audio Corda HA-1 MKII (220V version - EU) for my AKG K271 Studio cans, and I must say that it kinda disappoints me in the bass region. I had a B-tech cheapo 70$ amp before and it was able to shake my AKGs around abit, but the Corda fails to deliver...

thanks. will it work well with my k271?

Hi ya folks! Long time no see. Since the last time I was active here on head-fi I have managed to break my BT928 amp. I guess my poor soldering skills got to it at last.. Anyway, now I am on the lookout for a new amp for home use. It needs to be able to work with 220v current since I...

the bypass-able ER-4P to 4S function was not an option when I ordered the supermicro.. so I got the 75 ohm adapter instead. I've got the best sounding OP AMP Xin could offer. Got Xinfeed Xfeed. Sounds great. I'll post further after a while... I'm working so damn much right now, so I don't have...

It's a great picture.. found it on the AKG website if I remember correctly. Sorry you guys with slow connection out there.. got 2 mbits and 300 kb isn't that much for me

No, these are the K271's. They are IMO great! maybe a little bass-shy, but with an amp and a little EQ-ing they sound beautiful. Great soundstage, and they are not bright - nicely rolled off at the highs. Highly recomended as a middle-class headphone. Sound isolation is not as good as etys, but...

Hi all! I have a soundblaster live 1024 value card in my computer and have been using it as a source for a while now. One day I discovered the AudioHQ-setting "4-speakers" which dramatically improved the sound/soundstage when using headphones through a amp from the front output on my soundcard...

hola! Thought I'd share some pictures with y'all first up my home rig: then my "heavy" portable rig: a not so heavy portable rig: and at last just a little pic of my supermicro, look how tiny it is

"A Perfect Circle - Lullaby" from their latest album "Thirteenth Step" It's not really a song, but it's got some real heavy and deep bass in it. It was with this song I found out that my newly bought AKG K271's were damaged so I had to return them. (The right earcup "vibrated" during this song...

Is it just me? I have a feeling that all the cheap headsets and headphones and the expencive ones have a low impendence.. is this true? thinking of CD-3000 and RS-1 in the expencive part.

damn that was a fast reply! I love my iriver! it's great the sound quality is nice considering it's a portable device, and fuctionality, ease-of-use, looks etc, is excellent too. Transfers via usb 2 is incredible fast! I never thought it'd be that fast.. it's almost like any other of my...

Hey my new portable rig. Check it out

I've already ordered it, and it's already sent according to Xin. But the postal service and customs can be quite slow sometimes. Especially when I live in Norway I'll be glad to post impressions when I recieve it.
