Hifiman HE1000-SE
Please can someone here help me find a replacement leather head strap and ear pads for these, preferably from an EU source. I couldn't find much on eBay and they seem to be sold out elsewhere. Thanks:-)- gammarayson

Stax 404 system longevity (and ESL cans in general)
I bought my Stax Lambda Pros in 1988. A couple of years ago one of the drivers developed a mild squeal(which probably wouldn't bother most people) so I sent them in to a Stax specialist in Germany and they were replaced with a new old stock driver. I also recently replaced the pads and headband...- gammarayson

Neumann NDH 20
How do these sound compared with Ollo Audio's S4s? I had these, but they were too dark for my taste. I have seen a review on YouTube which compares the Neumanns with Ultrasones Signature Pro. The latter I own and love. PS I asked the same question on another thread, but this one seems more...- gammarayson

Upcoming Ultrasone edition 11 and pro 1480i
How do the Edition 11s compare with the Signature Pros which I own and is one of my favourites? How is the treble on the 11s? Once I tried the the Edition 10s and it was terrible. And what about the Edition 5 unlimited, which I liked, but the treble also seemed off, metallic?- gammarayson

Philips Fidelio X2?!
Well, I run my Sennheiser HD800s and Beyer T1s with balanced cables via my Oppo HA-1 connected similarly with balanced cables to my Oppo 205, so you would presumably call them balanced? Pardon me if I'm a bit dense, but what would be the difference with these headphones and the Fidelios apart...- gammarayson

Philips Fidelio X2?!
Is it possible to drive these balanced? I have found a cable with a 4 pin XLR termination on eBay intended for the Fidelios, but I thought it required an internal modification in the headphone to order to run them balanced.- gammarayson

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
I used to own the HD580s many years ago. Are the HD58Xs basically the same headphone? I own both the HD600s and the HD650s and enjoy them but find the latter a bit dark for my taste and might sell them. I really like the HD600s(even though I also have the original HD800s), but I wonder, how do...- gammarayson

AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread
I need a 3 or 4 meter cable for my Nighthawk Carbons as the stock cable is much too short for me. Please can I have some recommendations for a good, not too pricey alternative, preferably from Europe? Many thanks!- gammarayson

Questyle QP2R
I have recently bought one of these on eBay in very nice condition. When I connect it to my Mac and control click on the QP2r ikon for info it shows that only 28.5 GB of internal memory is available, which I assume is the previous owner's music. However, the only music shown are my own few...- gammarayson

AKG K812 Pro
Does anyone here have experience with Ultrasone's offerings compared to the K812s? I am interested in the AKGs but would like some opinions on their treble performance, eg high violins, flutes etc. Almost all the Ultrasones I have tried (with the exception of the Signature Pros which I found...- gammarayson

Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6 Discussion Thread
This is definitely one of my favourite headphones, but I have problems with the cable. The fit is terribly fussy, and unless it sits just right, there is only sound in one channel. I only get sound in both channels by fiddling with the plug, and pushing it as far in as possible doesn't help...- gammarayson

Amps that can drive the HiFiMan HE-6 planar headphones
Having recently bought the Lyngdorf TDAI 2170 digital amplifier with room correction to drive my Harbeth Super HL5 plus speakers, and been delighted with the results, I wondered about the feasibility of using it to drive the HE-6s via an adapter XLR to the speaker taps. I did try hooking up my...- gammarayson
