Since my HD600's default lead had a dodgy channel i've been using my Darth Beyer's for my main headphone full time.. they've always had their own quirk with the channels which has now started to get annoying. Basically the left channel cuts out unless i squeeze the end of the lead going into the...

I got home tonight and just happened to look and notice that the light was off on my Stax SRM-717, i assumed it'd had had the power switch turned off, but sadly it hadn't. I've checked everything, moved it out so i can get a good look at it, checked the fuse in the power cable, nothing. It...

Hi folks, I'm considering upgrading to the new XFI, perhaps even the top model, as i NEED to get the digital outputs coming out the back of my machine, my PC has a door why would i want it via a 5.25" bay!! A daughterboard would be perfect, as i currently do with my SB Live. Anyways i'm a...

And also how is this hotness when compared to the SRM-313 which I've found to stay nothing but cool apart from when heated by its background (by a nearby speaker amp). Is the hotness evenly spread or do certain parts get hotter than others? I'm considering upgrading from the 313 to the...

Hi folks, I received a DCP150 the other day but sadly it wasn't in great shape. Denon no longer touch them so i've had a go myself.. it did start working shortly after arriving but then i had yet more problems after that. I've took it apart and had a look, nothing noticably wrong yet...

I've just received a SAC/AKG amp which has standard K1000 outputs on the front. Previously i was using the supplied K1000 to speaker wire to extend its range and drive it out of my intergrated speaker outputs. Now I'm using the mini lead of my K1000 from the SAC amp, but its not long enough to...

Having just received mine and been loving it when i've tried it with the K1000, i just wondered if anyone had fashioned an adapter to let it drive standard cabled headphones.. Whether this was even possible, and if so how it would/did sound? Its surely got more muscle than anything could ask...

Is anyone else getting this.. I rely on these emails to keep me up to date on posts, something that CAN be rectified by using the subscription messages page in my control panel area. Just to make it known that i'm having the problem, dunno about anyone else. I assume its related to server...

Just got my AKG branded SAC amp along with my 2nd pair of K1000s, so i can actually drive 2 at the same time. Its been warming up for about an hour or so now, and dammit if it hasn't gotten very very hot.. its almost getting to the point where you dont want to keep your hands on it for too...

Hi folks, I just got my 2nd pair of K1000s.. they are in fully working order which is a nice relief. Got the AKG branded SAC amp too which is working well, i understand now why its all heatsink, it gets pretty hot!!! Anyways the pads on the K1000 are fairly used such that they are much...

Hi folks, A long shot this, but it doesn't hurt to ask. I just won some ebay auctions from someone in Germany.. only at the last minute did i notice that he didn't have paypal listed as his payment options. I can get round this, though it may be a lot more stressfull and take a long time...

Well I tried buying these nearly a year ago http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=102932 Dammit, I thought it was maybe 2 years ago.. it really puts into perspective that i've had a crazy headfi year since then with far too many purchases!!! Anyways in the end i was just too...

I was just having a quick listen to things last night, giving my SA5000 a go, and quite enjoying it, thinking they were revealing stuff i'd not noticed before (they weren't, but their presentation does perhaps make things a little easier to hear when they're in the background of the music) i...

I recently discovered someone describing Omega IIs and he pointed out that he used the thickest part of the pads rotated so they were below the ear. I've always had mine with the thickest point behind the ear.. Just thought i'd try to get a consensus on which is the right way to wear them..

Are the older Omega's better than the newer ones.. I've heard that the Omega Is were more expensive and originally were a statement product with their amp to go against Sennheisers Orpheus system? Anyone had chance to compare the two? Omega II's are described as having a better bass than most...

I was telling a musician friend of mine about my new Darth Beyers and that if he ever had the desire to work with such low bass that the DT770s were great cans.. I described my recent movie listening crazyness where i could actually feel sub bass like from a subwoofer.. He gave me a warning...

Well i've had the darth beyers for a little while now.. not been able to listen to them a huge amount but whenever i have i've been happy.. They're not for everything, and i certainly couldn't live with them for some music, nor ever imagine having them as my only headphones.. BUT play some music...

I just got my 2.5m stax extension lead so i can listen to my Omega IIs in comfort on my bed. I just wondered what the opinion was on them.. I dunno if the sound has got worse with the extension lead or not.. at first i thought maybe it had, now i'm not so sure. I'm well aware that placebo...

I kind of asked about this before getting my cans here http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=132885 no one replied in the end Its slightly different question now that i have the amp.. I've been doing some listening with my SRM-313 Omega II and have found that they...

Quite simply what do you turn to when you want to test a pair of headphones, or impress a friend with a new headphone by really showing what they can do. I'd imagine this kind of ties in with sympathetically recorded and mastered stuff, so jazz, blues, vocals, instruments, classical, perhaps...

The top section of the cable as it reaches either cup of the headphone has a few twists compared to the orientation of the wire as it exits the plastic tab where the two channels wires join into 1 cable. Its nothing really but i'm just really confused how this could happen... the cable cannot...

Just received mine today.. was hoping the manual would enlighten me on this.. how much space is needed around the amp to keep it sufficiently cool?! I'll put in my test space for now and keep an eye on the case and surrounding temperatures.. I fear its not going to be as tall as i'd like. Any...

I'm having difficulty finding an adapter for my HE60 cans, into Stax pro 5 pin. Anyone ever brought one of these, if so where did you get them from, and if you know are they still available? Thanks for your time. Jim

I should have the ability to listen to my new OmegaIIs tomorrow.. I just thought i'd check up on anything that i oughta be careful with.. similar to how i asked about my HE60s here http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=130709 Anyways the "rubbish" HEV70 amp at least has an LED on...

Ok i've just had a bit of a tidy up to try and get space back in my room.. My new K1000 pose a bit of a problem, i'm never that comfortable with the wire dangling down from the headphones as its pulling against where they're coming out of the headphone (horizontally as oppossed to vertically in...
