Ultrasone dj1 vs. shure srh-750dj
Hi all, Debating between these two phones. I have the Panasonic Htf600's driven by a p-51 and would like a bit more low bass. I love vocal trance, and are looking for clear detailed bass that is not bloated and does not muddy the mids. I also am not a fan of strong treble. Has anyone...- Shadowboxer

Issue with La Figaro amp?
Hello All, I received a La Figaro 339. It looks beautiful! Couple of questions: 1) It arrived with 5 screws completely free and moving about the inside of the amp. I discovered it was the screws that help the two of the three big black squares in their place. I screwed them...- Shadowboxer

Goodbye DT880s (600 Ohm), hello HD650's!
Hi All, After spending HOURS reading threads on this great forum, decided on the DT880's. Got them, burned them in for 100 hours, and they just didn't do it for me. They were a bit bright and sterile sounding. Then decided to try the HD650's. Bingo. Much more organic...- Shadowboxer

Hi All, Is there a digram/explanation that will show me how to remove the 1/4" plug off my HD650's and replace it with a 3 plug XLR? I am a complete newbie at this. Also, are there advantages to a 4 plug connector over a 3 plug? How would I wire a 4 plug? Not sure if the balanced...- Shadowboxer

Bottlehead Smack - can't find any real reviews on it. Anyone have one?
Was considering the Crack to use with the Beyer DT880's (600 Ohm), but want the flexibility to use with out other lower impedence cans. Anyone have the Smack and able to comment on it's sound? Thinking where the Crack is for cans from 300-600 ohms, it's too limiting on what I can use with it...- Shadowboxer

AKG K 701 vs. SR 225
Hi All, I have the SR80's with a Corda Move amp. I was planning on getting the SR225's, but have started reading up on the AKG K 701.
