...like Shure's silicon tips. However even the L size I feel are not big enough. Any other alternatives? I tried Star Tips, but they're not mushroom shaped. I find the mushroom style conform to my ear canal the best.

When I am listening to headphones, on most of the songs it sounds like the vocals is not at the dead center. It's almost as if the singer is at the right side a little bit. At first I thought it was my hearing, so I reversed the headphones - then it sounded like the vocals are a bit towards the...

The search after the head-fi redesign is probably the worst search function I have ever used on any webpage- I did a search for HD650 in title, and I wanted the results to be ordered by date. This is what I got: Then after I tried to click between relevant and recency, and I got this: I...

My native Lenovo Y410 uses Realtek Digital Output when I select it under WASAPI options in foobar. Is there any difference from this vs. one of those USB devices like the Musical Fidelity V-Link?

Aside from Stax and other high-end stuff, what are your top 5 headphones for classical music? No preference for open/closed.

Mainly listen to 80% jazz, 20% mix of everything else except country and rnb.   What would be a better headphone for me?  D5000 or HD650?  I can get them for about the same price, and the phones will be driven by RSA Hornet.   Of all the threads I've read, the general consensus is that...

Let's list out your favorite tracks!   The only rule: don't list albums no matter how much you think "it should be listened to in its entirety".  You know how it is, threads start off asking for tracks, then sooner or later one person posts albums and then everybody else does it too.  ...

All the threads I read in here are too technical when talking about jitter. ...but I just care about the music, so is jitter something that can be heard?

I've had these since release date and recently the silicon tips slide off by itself. It only stays in place if I push the tips in all the way and hold it for about a minute before letting go. Anyone know what's causing this? Thanks

Got it from a post at jaben.net. Enjoy! Grado Labs Facility Tour [audiojunkies]

I find that a lot those "how loud do you listen to" threads is not useful because most replies are: "Loud Enough" "Enough to drive" "Until I really hear the music, then down a notch" So I want to start a thread that lists out your equipment used, and the volume level of your...

So lately I've been browsing this music forum to see what's good, and I see a lot of metal threads. Alright, thought I'd give it a shot. After all, Black Sabbath's Paranoid album is one of my favorites! Proceeded to copy and pasted some songs recommended by DarkAngel into youtube and expected...

I deleted some files from my music folder in windows explorer, but they still show in foobar, unless I manually remove them or click on Library -> Album List. Am I missing something?

Mainly using this at home, so I don't need a battery. Is it ok to just run it without putting a 9v inside?

I find that I get a better fit with the silicon tips if I just insert them halfway into the tube.

I got my hornet on June 2nd and will be updating this thread throughout my hornet burn-in process. As the title suggests, I am not a guy who has golden ears. I can't tell the difference between 320k vs FLAC files (heck, even most 192k I cannot tell a difference). I cannot tell the difference...

It's no surprise that he's one of the most dirty players in the NHL, taking cheapshots at others while pretending to be an angel to the league. But his slapshot @ niedermayer takes the cake. Putting my hate on the sens on hold and looking at this objectively, I am appalled by his gutless...

After about a week and a half since ordering, the hornet has arrived to HK! Burn in time is about 10 hours, and it sounds great. I am just in awe by the bass produced by this combo. The music just seems to come alive, just bigger in every sense. Cant wait til I get the full 400 hours on this...

Anyone?

I see that all the portable rigs have a huge I/C connecting their amp to dap, which makes it really inconvenient to carry around. So why arent there 1 inch or less mini mini i/c using the L-shape connectors that just perfectly fit the distance between the input/output of dap and amp?

I see some 9v batteries says it is 8.4v or 9.2v. What is the difference between them? Both types work right? I will be buying my own batteries to power the hornet.

Finally got my order to Ray via paypal. Had to use TWO credit cards, count 'em TWO!! I vow to never use paypal and their @nal international sending limits again. Anyways, how long did it take for you guys to get your hornets? Canada does not count.

Sorry but I cant be cheering for them as "Canada`s Team" when I bleed blue and white. I cheered for the Flames, then the Oilers, but I hope the Wings or Ducks take the CUP this year Just had to get that off my chest, as i read all those articles about how canada is behind the sens...
