Hi again.... I'll admit I'm tough on headphones. I do a national radio show, and I'm always on the road, in and out of professional recording studios and top radio stations. My beloved Sennheiser HD 650s, which I love in the recording booth, give me pure 'velvet' in my voice. Using a Neumann...

Hi again,   I use Senn HD650's daily in a professional recording studio. Love 'em.   But a few months back I started hearing big problems - sound cutting out of one earpiece, and the other....distorted sound, etc. Not all the time, but enough that I had to look into repairs.   I thought it...

Hi... I have a question for the experts here.   I am watching Blu-Ray movies with an Oppo BDP-93.   Tonight I'm running the audio from its Coax output into the coax input of an Audio gd Compass, and listening with new HD650s.   My question is: am I guilty of overkill?   The Oppo is a...

Hi.. I just ordered a pair of Sennheiser HD650s, which I will mostly use with my Audio gd Compass. Had that DAC HP amp since 2008 and it's still awesome. But...I also have some older portable DAC HP amps...and I was wondering if I could impose upon the experts here with a question about...

Hi    I bought an Audio-gd Compass back when they first offered them for sale. About 2 years later, I noticed an occasional audio dropout - like a quick 1 second blank spot...but then the sound would return.   The Compass was being used exclusively for PC audio, fed to the Compass via...

Hi... I saw a good deal here this weekend and thought I'd go for it. Audioengine A2's for $100, shipped. Seller has 120 postings, so that was OK. But now I'm not so sure, because: -The seller will not post pics -the original thread the sale was posted on has disappeared -The price is so...

When I hooked up my new Audioengine A2's with the S8 sub, I needed some long RCA audio cables...and didn't want to pay megabucks. Stopped into Radio Shack, expecting to get their standard AV cables, the ones we've used for years for non-critical stuff. But they had a new house brand named...

Hi... Overall, couldn't be happier with the Audio-gd Compass. Love it, love it, love it. Here's how I hooked it up: PC Audio into USB. Sony CD into Coax. So far, so good! BUT....when I put my Sony XBR HDTV's digital optical output into the Compass's digital optical in....I...

Hi... The Beyerdynamic DT48E's came today...and I thought I'd lend a few initial impressions. I'll be using these to monitor live interviews/taped reports and the weekly talk radio show I direct. -Build Quality/Durability: A+. I was not expecting anything near the build quality I...

I am delighted with the Audio-gd Compass! And one of its biggest assets is how flexible it is! I have mine set up as follows: -PC Audio in via USB -Sony Reference DVD/CD Player in via digital optical -Denon AH-D7000's via the HP out -Computer Speakers (not HQ) hooked in through...

Based on reviews here and elsewhere, I brought out my really old Sony DVP-S7000. It was Sony's reference player in its day...and yes, it has a 1/4" headphone output with volume control on the front panel. With the Denon D7000's, the sound is amazing! No amp, no nothing. Just a CD in the Sony...

I have an older Thorens turntable, circa 1980's-1990's, which has been up in the attic for years. If I get it out and set it up with a 2009 headphone amp, can I plug it straight into the amp? I recall that receivers had a particular 'phono' input...plugging it into anything else wouldn't...

If amps and HP's do...what about microphones? I've had some beauties...from the EV's to Shure to Neumann...and it never occurred to me they'd require 'break-in.' Ideas? Thanks

I've decided to get the Compass...based on the reviews here and elsewhere. But, I use the Denon D7000's...Can anyone offer up a primer in which opamp sounds best with those cans? I like bass...lots of it, all the way down to the subwoofer area. If anyone uses the Compass with the Denons...

Post time is 6:04PM, Eastern NBC The High-Def looks excellent!

I just started using a Marantz PMD661 Solid State Recorder for doing radio field work. And It's occurred to me...might make a killer portable. It has 1/4" headphone jacks...and takes SD cards. My thought is, if I recorded some music in lossless format on the SD's, I might have great...

Hi... There has been discussion lately about asking for advice, giving advice, and getting advice. Let's try something new. How about looking back to a crucial piece of information, or a key recommendation, or a unique perspective that made you learn, understand and grow? And how...

Hi... Has anyone tried the Asus Essence STX sound card with the Denon AH-D7000's? I'm wondering whether to go that route. The STX is getting rave reviews...but I haven't seen threads in which a lot of different headphones are tried on it...I'd hate to install it just to find out it's not a...

I'm going to be doing some field reporting, using a Marantz PMD661 digital recorder. I'm looking for some headphones that I can use with it in the field, and then take back to my desk, and hook up using a 3Move as a DAC, and listen to sources at a PC. So, it has to be audiophile, but also...

I've seen lots of positive reviews about the Musical Fidelity X-CanV8... But when I go to their website, I now see they are offering the X-CanV8P. Does anyone know what improvements/changes/upgrades the 'P' signifies? And...has anyone heard the X-CanV8P? Nothing substantive about it...

Kind of a fun article...and they're not all cheap! The 10 Wackiest Headphones - PC World

Hi. My name is HD Dude, and I have On The Way addiction. I love obsessively researching headphones, amps, cables, cases, adapters... all of it...then ordering something...and waiting for it to arrive. Lights me up! Makes me feel alive! King of the world! But... When I have nothing...

Hi... I ordered a 12v, 500ma regulated power supply for my 3Move, but the power tip was the wrong size. Bummer! It requires a small tip. Have any other 3Move owners here bought one that fits? And that you use on a regular basis? If so, could I trouble you for a make and model #? I...

The Denon D7000's are the best headphones I've ever heard. But so far the only amp I have is the Meier Corda 3Move. I've found that the 3Move needs more power than the USB connection delivers to really drive the Denons. When the 3Move is connected to the PC via USB, without any power...

I'm in Chicago for business... Any good headphone shops in the Magnificent Mile area? Not sure I'll buy anything, but I'd love to spend a bit of time seeing what's here. Thanks very much!
