Let me just put it this way, after trying several chi-fi units over the years (not head-fi) I've had some really bad experience with both poor QC and RMA handling. I really just want a unit that works. With that said, it's hard to get some info on where the Holo is made. Thanks for the input...

Hello folks,   I just resurrected my account here. I've owned a pair of AKG K712's but now I am considering selling them due to a stupid "problem": the comfort, or rather, lack thereof. They seem to "fall down" on my ears and press against the top of my ears. As such, I have to adjust the...

@Tom M: I'm using my 600's with the headphone outlet of my NAD integrated amplifier. I would say the sound is very, very nice, and I don't plan of getting a separate amp nor a new cable for my headphones. The sound is excellent as it is. -Martin

I'm glad that my thread at least lead to something more than congratulating me!

I don't want to use another $100 when I have used $155. Why did I search for the best price for the 600's? Figure it out!

Come on, don't let this go out of hand. I asked that question if a new cord really is necessary, because I don't have any high-end stuff at home right now, and therefore I don't see why I would need one. The sound is getting better and better all the time, and I would say that it's...

Congratulations TUBEBO! Quote: You will have to get one of the upgrade cords, Are those really necessary? I think the sound is awesome as it is now.

Quote: Where did you get yours for $155. I bought them from Hans der Bär from Germany. He sells them for EUR€200, and since I live in Norway, he removed the VAT (16 %), which got it down to EUR€172, and then it was only EUR€6 for the shipping. EUR€178 equals about US$155.

Yes, I finally got them! In a solid box, that gave a very positive first impression. I am using my NAD integrated amp the amplifier, with a Sony 7700 CD/DVD as the source. It has been playing without me listening to it for about 3 hours, and now I just wanted to listen. Awesome! Just...

@Matt: How much did you pay (incl. shipping) for the 600's?

Interesting thread. I will get my 600's in a few days, and I will use them with my NAD amplifier. It will sure be interesting, with regards to this thread.

@hinors14: I live in Norway and I have just bought HD 600, they were sent from Germany. I paid what would equal US$178, including shipping. It was a no brainer.

Disconnected is a great album, but A Pleasant Shade of Gray is better. The song "Still Remains" from Disconnected is awesome though, but overall the album lacks the magic from A Pleasant Shade of Gray.

One of my favorite soundtracks is the music for Crimson Tide.

This would be my rank: 1 Images & Words (ACOS) 2 Awake / SDOIT 3 Scenes From a Memory 4 Falling Into Infinity 5 When Dream and Day Unite Musically, WDADU is brilliant, but Dominici isn't exactly my favorite vocalist. I have ordered the limited edition, soon to be released version of...

I have albums from every band you mentioned except Apocalyptica. Isn't that a Metallica cover band? I listened to them once, not my cup of tea, since I don't like Metallica that much.

I'm very into progressive rock and metal. Dream Theater, Pain of Salvation, Symphony X and Fates Warning are my favorite bands.

I experienced Dream Theater in Oslo yesterday, what a terrific show they did! I was also there two years ago, on their SFAM tour. Dream Theater is my favorite band, and I must say that I was quite surprised when I read the thread "Progressive Rock?". Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence is...
