Grado HP-2 more Sennheiser-like than Grado-like?
Hi, peepz! I've just received my Joseph Grado HP-2 with JGSUWBR cable today! Happy as a little kid with a new toy! Sadly, I don't have any headphone amp for the time being. Waiting for the Zana Deux for a while now. Also, my Opera has been sent to dr Meier for repairs... First...- Chimpie

Need cheap closed headphone advice!
Hi guys! I kinda need help for a friend. He’s looking for a nice headphone, he asked me about it (he called me headphone freak!) and I’m feeling bad as I can’t really answer his question. I was kinda hesitant to post this hear, because I think you guys will empty his wallet in no-time. He just...- Chimpie

Is a used Meridian 507 @ €999 still good value?
Guess the title says it all! What do you guys think? Or are there better options for that price? Thanks in advance for all the advice!- Chimpie

Amp suggestion please!
Need help! Currently looking to sell my gear (HD650, Little Dot III+, HeadFive, Zhaolu DAC 1.3) to build a system around my K701. I was wondering, is a SinglePower PPX3 (-SLAM) a good choice? Or the Raptor? Also, I've got HF-1. In the future, it might be replaced by a RS-1. I would like...- Chimpie

K701! Or...?
Begin rant Okay. This is what happened... I've bought the HD650 and the K701 about 2 months ago. Couldn't make a choice between them, so why not buy both! Also got a HF-1, Beyer DT770/80 at this moment in time. They're connected to my NAD cd player (and sometimes the Zhaolu DAC 1.3) to the...- Chimpie

Is this strange??
My journey so far: Started with a Sennheiser HD555. Loved it. Upgraded to a Magic Red HD595. Again, loved it. Also bought a AT A900LTD from Benny along the way. And somehow, a very nice head-fi'er was willing to sell me his Grado HF-1. Couldn't resist, coz like some people say: Resistance is...- Chimpie

Use high-end CD-players only as transport?
I’m getting more and more sucked into the world of audiophiles. However, my knowledge is infinitely less than most of the people on this forum. I think my problem is easily solved by you HeadFi’ers! I was wondering, do I still need an external DAC when I buy a nice CD-player? For instance, do...- Chimpie

No HF-1-> MS2i??
Okay... Disappointed as I was as I didn't get the HF-1, I went out straight away and auditioned the SR325. And while I was there, I also listened to the RS-2. Very hard to find in Rotterdam!! I compared them to the HD650 (also there), and WOW, what a difference!! I didn't know my untrained...- Chimpie

Help a n00b! DAC helpful?
Guys, need some advice! I currently have a Sennheiser HD595 hooked up to a Firestone Cute Beyond amp hooked up to a X-Fi XtremeMusic. I wonder if it helps to buy the Firestone Spitfire DAC? I know, a better (=more expensive) DAC would probably help, but it is not an option for me at the...- Chimpie
