I see there are two types of Beyerdynamic Black velours - one for the DT 770, ad one for the DT 990/DT880.   Since both of those cans have the same cup size, why on earth does Beyerdynamic offer two different black velour pads - two different part numbers?   Is construction of either pad...

I'm interested in hearing from anyone currently using 600 Ohm Beyerdynamic DT 880s with a NuForce Icon HDP.   I have the Beyer DT150 @ 250 ohms & they work great with the HDP.   I now want to purchase the DT 880.  I feel that the 600 ohm version is the best impedance choice,  but may...

Hello, All -   Occasionally, shared listening is fun.  I'm trying to match volume with my current equipment, on the cheap.  (Ideally, I'd purchase an identical pair of headphones - problem solved.  I can't do this w/o spending at least $200.  So, until then, I'm looking for an inexpensive...

Wanting to upgrade my DAC (currently have a PICO DAC) to use with my Woo6.   I've narrowed it down to:   Audio-GD NFB2 Audio-GD NFB3 Yulong D-100 (Don't really need the solid state amp which is included, but it would be fun.)   I appreciate any input - especially from anyone...

I want to buy a new EML 5U4G rectifier tube.    Is $230 the best price out there for a US buyer?  So far, my Google searches all point to $230 from a few dealers - tubeaudiostore, musicreference, tubesUSA, etc.   If anyone knows of another source, I'd appreciate the intel.   Cheers!

I'm replacing the coiled cable on my Beyrdynamic DT250 80 ohm with the Beyer K190 straight cable.  This cable is unterminated, so I'm looking for some suggestions.   I'm going to use this primarily with my iPod, unamped.   This iPod has an acrylic case, which ads some bulk around the...

Does the Beyerdynamic DT250 80 Ohm come with a coiled or straight cable?   Thanks.

Hello Everyone -   I have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770s - 600 Ohm.   Currently, I'm using these with a Pico DAC and a Headamp AE-2 portable amp.   I've ordered a Woo Audio WA6 (stock), which should arrive by December 10th.  So - I'm interested in hearing from any WA6 owners...

Hi Everyone!   I just got my 600 ohm DT770s with the split entry mod and the Moon Audio Black Dragon cable.  My initial impressions are - WOW.    Having owned the stock 250ohm model previously, I find that the 600 Ohm driver upgrade, the split entry Black Dragon cable, and the addition...

Greetings, all!   I'm posting this to hopefully gain some insight about power conditioners from a fellow Head-Fi-er who possesses more technical knowledge than I do.   I recently acquired used a power line conditioner/isolation transformer at a budget price - the TSI power ILc 1000B. ...

Anyone compared these two side by side?  I have both, but don't feel I posess the technical knowledge to do an in depth review.  They both sound very similiar to me, with very similar battery life.  The AE-2 has a better case, but the RX is slimmer & more portable.  I'm not a huge fan of the...

Hello, all.  New member here.  Can anyone tell me how do I get started posting in the classifieds?  I've not posted anything there as of yet.  When I attempt to start a new ad, I get a message back saying that I'm over the limit for my posts in this area?  What exactly does this mean if I...

After reading countless threads on this subject,  I've learned 3 things:   1.) The stock steel cable on the HD25-1 II is made for durability, not for sound quality.   2.) The OFC Cable from the Sennheiser HD25-13 is a great upgrade, (Sennheiser part Number 74532)  Most people shorten...

Hello, all!  This is my inaugural post after being a long-time reader - fine time to start participating!   I'm going to purchase a new set of closed custom cans and would appreciate advice or feedback from anyone who has owned or compared these products.    My price range is the $650 to...
