I agree with what's written on the PX 100-II product page that these headphones tend to sound like the mids and treble are a little veiled. The bass is indeed the frequency that stands out the most and I was hoping to upgrade to a portable pair that comes across as more balanced and neutral.  ...

Hi.   I've just been gifted with a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 speakers, and I want to use them... but since I'm a headphone person, the only amp I have to use for powering them is a Dared MP-5.   The Wharfedales' recommended wattage is 20 - 100w.   The Dared's power is 13w.   So I'm...

Well, this is what I was initially supposed to post a few days ago: Quote: ARGH! This is the worst thing that has happened to me in recent memory! I just learned that my PayPal account apparently got hacked because I opened my email just now and saw notifications for a payment...

Just something a friend pointed out recently: That I'm still able to control my PC volume via foobar and via the taskbar volume control (only using the Wave slider though) even though the USB DAC is already connected to the PC. My listening chain is currently: PC ---> DAC ---> AMP --->...

I know that a lot more things are involved than just saying this amp is better than that amp... but if I break down the details to the specifics, a lot of people probably won't reply since they haven't tried a particular setup/item in the chain yet. So... I wanted to know which of these two...

Has anyone had experiences / heard or read impressions that the DT770's are a bit too heavy? I've had them (mine are the '05 250 ohm version) for a few days and I can plainly see that they're built like a tank. On extended listening sessions, I can feel some strain developing around my nape...

The "Caffeine" Headphone Amplifier vs The Mini³ Portable Stereo Headphone Amplifier What do you think I should buy as my first entry-level amp? I will probably use this with a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 770/250 ('05) headphones and the source will usually be an iPod playing high-quality...

Are there any good portable DAC+headphone amps-in-one out there for a $100 budget?

Looking for something that will drive the DT770-250 ('05) well and enhance it in such a way that it will tame the excesses and improve its shortcomings. Not something that will further improve on things that the headphones already do well. How will the Caffeine Amp / Penguin Amp do with these...

I got these terms from the "Describing Sound - A Glossary" thread. I'm not necessarily looking for recommendations, so disregard choice of music and current listening gear and just take the headphones for what they are, everything else considered equal. So... Just out of curiosity, what...

What are the best-sounding all-rounder cans for people who are especially sensitive to highs/trebles and partial to a warm, smooth sound signature? And when I say all-rounder, I mean this in terms of sound quality and the fact that the person listens to pretty much any type of music: Metal...

I realize that this is an audiophile forum, so the question may come across as laughable to some; but on regular music forums, most people would really scoff at the claim that one would be able to tell the difference between a high-quality lossy rip and a lossless rip... So just to put the...

I was looking for headphone recommendations a few weeks ago, but I might not have created the thread right / not have given enough of the right details - so there were only a few recommendations. I hope it would be fine if I try this again. Here are the info you would probably need: 1) I...

...songs that you're familiar with (all-time favorites) that aren't terribly produced, but don't have pristine production values? or ...audiophile-grade tracks that you have rarely heard (like Chesky stuff that you borrowed from a friend or something)? I'd think that the perfect answer...

Hopefully you guys could recommend a good full-sized/circumaural pair of headphones for me considering the following: I've been into this audio hobby for around five years now and I started with a pair of Sennheiser PX-100's, which were great at the time because I loved the bass and general...

I'm kind of a sound junkie, so bad sound quality and production can usually turn me off. So I was just looking for albums that are put together with a nice sound quality... good mastering... good mixing... good sound production altogether. Of course, it helps if the music is good too, but even...

hey guys, here a nifty tool http://www.audioscrobbler.com/explore/ This is the description from the site: "Audioscrobbler builds a profile of your musical taste using a plugin for your media player (Winamp, iTunes, XMMS etc..). Plugins send the name of every song you play to the...

I bought me an Altec Lansing AVS 200b just so I could replace my old desktop speakers that I had to bring somewhere else. I bought it coz it was cheap and I was pretty much looking for anything decent. Now that I think about it, was it a decent buy? I bought it for around Php1,000... which...

Hello guys! Just wanted to get your inputs regarding this. Primarily because I want to know what new albums I can pick up, but also because I'm a list-lover hehe. Anyway, It's up to you how many albums you want to list Here's a reference to what metacritic thinks They collate reviews...

Has anyone heard of this guy and his music? I've just discovered his music and he sounds very promising! His latest album "Illinoise" was recently released and is getting very rave reviews. He is a very talented and musical artist. For those who have listened to him a lot, what Sufjan...

The list: http://www.rollingstone.com/news/sto...player=unknown First of tall, do you agree with the list? What would you change? Second, which of these albums do you own? (since there are so many albums, at least how many do you own out of the top 100?)

Not for anything else other than curiosity... as far as you guys know, what are the most expensive cans that money can buy?

Is this the right forum to post this in? I was thinking it should be either here or maybe the DIY forum. thanks! Here is a layout of my room: - the north wall and east wall are made of concrete - all the other walls and the floor are made of wood - the height of the room is 8.5 feet...

Surely some CD are recordedand mastered at higher quality than others - and this makes for beautiful sound. Can you remember what are the best records you've ever listened to in this respect?

I think people would agree when I say that some songs - with respect to audio quality and audio composition - can get the most out of great audio than others. With this being said, if you were to make an audio compilation of songs for the sole purpose of testing the music on different kinds...
