What other high-ends are really bright (like AKG)
There are a lot of flagship headphones out there now. I am curious, what other headphones have comparably bright treble to say the AKG K812? While still keeping deepest of sub-bass of course. I tried the Audeze MX-4 and they were nice, but treble was very tuned down.- ry_goody

Beyer T5P best general purpose flagship?
The T5P is not the "best" headphone in any particular category. Others have better imaging, others have more detail, others have higher treble, or deeper bass. However the thing I am noticing with my time spent with T5P's is that nothing sounds bad. Every recording sounds very good. My really...- ry_goody

Next flagship AKG? Or similiar?
Wondering if anyone keeps tracks of expected release dates from companies. I've had my K812 pro's for a while, which I think are great, but kind of what something different just to have something new. It's been years since the k812 pros came out, I presume AKG should have a new flagship coming...- ry_goody

AKG K812 Pro, underrated?
So I have been going on about a year now with AKG K812 pro's and am just supremely impressed with them. Which at first I was hesitant to get them because there were so many mixed reviews and complaints about them. But they are by far and above my favorite ultra high end. I only have Audeze...- ry_goody

Anything smaller thats as good as Schiit Lyr + Schiit Bifrost
I have a schiit lyr and schiit bifrost. I think they are really great. But it seems kind of ridiculous to me that they are so large. If a computer can go from desktop to macbook air size, shouldn't audio tech do the same? I assume there has to be something just as good thats smaller. I would...- ry_goody

Gah. 'Audiophile' USB Cable.

Good DAC with 1 input and 2 outputs for OSX?
I am seeking a DAC that has 1 line input and 4 line outputs. Preferably can run through ASIO. I have a schiit lyr and powered monitors, so I'd prefer there be no amp component on this device. Does such a thing exist? I'd like this be as cheap as possible, but can spend more if...- ry_goody

AKG K702 sound degradation from plug + internal wiring?
I used to have a pair of AKG K701's with a black dragon cable on them. I thought they sound excellent.

I noticed that the drivers had two rather large mental poles sticking out of...- ry_goody

Don't like Shure SE310, what to get instead (am an AKG ATH fan usually)
I used to really like the old Shure e4c. It had a bit rolled off highs, not the most detailed, but it had enough detail and a good sound signature to make electronic music really engaging. So I got the new Shure se310 thinking it'd just be an improvement on the similiar priced e4c. The SE310 is...- ry_goody

Shure e4c cable failed twice.
So I have had two Shure e4c's fail on me because one channel starts cutting out. This is caused by the cable starting to fray/separate internally. As I can still push on the cable on the broken earpiece and have it flash on intermittently. The first set of e4c's died after about 14-16 months...- ry_goody

next IEM to get after shure e4c?
So of the IEM's I have thus listened to I would say: Shure e4c > Etymotic er4p > Shure se210 > Super fi.3 (maybe less, the like $90 ones) The etymotic I did find more detailed on the highend particularly, and all around. But I found that it's midrange lacked sort of the more open, full...- ry_goody

So I bought what was supposedly a matched pair of EH 6Sn7 tubes from a local store to go in my bada ph12.
