Looking for upgrade from Audio-GD 10ES suggestions?
With a budget around $1000 I'm looking for a DAC upgrade from my NFB10ES. Since 10ES is kind of an older version of the current NFB28 I don't think anything from Audio-gd less than NFB7 or M7 is worth it, yet my budget and desktop space tends to deny the two big boys. My main requirement...- marshallmole

A comparison between Beyerdynamic T1 and Hifiman HE-5LE
As a starter on head-fi journey I'd like to try to share a little of my experience of these two, which are both highly appreciated headphones here. I have studied playing piano since the age of 6, but has gone relatively rusty since college, and have been to many live concerts (mainly classical)...- marshallmole

Graphene as driver diaphragm?
I don't know how correct my view is, it could be totally dreaming, but here's what I have in mind: Apparently, thinner diaphragm in a driver is usually a good thing, thinking of electrostatic headphones' super thin diaphragms. Now, graphene has been found and studied for some years, and it is...- marshallmole

Choice between Beyer T90 and Shure 1840 (mainly for classical music)
I have been thinking about compli(e?)menting my HE-5LEs with a pair of dynamic headphones. I find the Hifimans pretty good for everything, but sometimes I want a better imaging for classical music. I think planars' imaging is in a different way from dynamics. With planars, instruments seem to...- marshallmole

AKG K340 deeper leather earpads?
Hi headfi, I recently got myself these ancient headphones, and thought I might keep them. I would like to know what options are there for replacement leather pads that should preferably be deeper than original. The size of the cans are larger than their traditional models like K240... A few...- marshallmole

First Impression on Little Dot MK III
Hello, fresh mole here. :) Got my feet into this tube amp world just a few days and have some interesting feelings. I'm very amused to find that although the LD has some slight issue it pairs with my headphones well. I noticed that for the two medium gain settings there's channel imbalance...- marshallmole

How do trades work?
Hello, not sure if this is appropriate here, but I had this weird question here: how does trades in the forums usually work? I mean when two owners reach a consent to trade each other's headphones/amps/etc with each other, do they just send out their item on their own? What could be some...- marshallmole

Make up for Beyer DT 990: HD 650 or 600?
As you see I'm a DT990 owner. I find it quite satisfactory for electronic and some classical, but not with others. Particularly, I feel that DT990 plays really well with Shostakovitch and Prokofiev, but not with Mahler and Brahms (and with Bruckner it's like halfway towards perfection)--their...- marshallmole
