I posted about this earlier but have decided to up my budget and thought it required a new post. Source is FLAC- ElitePro Spdif- Paradisea+ - Corda HA-1 mk1 - HD650 Have considered the X-CAN v3 as it supposedly has good synergy with HD650, but also want to know what the real other...

Hi, my system is an elite pro spdif to paradisea+, which is a very nice musical dac btw, out to a Corda HA-1 mk.1 to stock cable HD650 Even with the supposedly warm paradisea I still find the sound a little harsh at times, especially at higher volumes, while the Corda is a nice amp, I...

So I have decided i will leave the Elite Pro for gaming and use a USB DAC + my Corda HA-1 MK1 with HD650(Unless there is DAC-AMP combo for same price that sounds better than Corda amp) for music. I am guessing a USB DAC for that price would be better than any internal cards at a similar price...

I recently purchased the elite pro, using with a corda HA-1 and HD650's, but hearing all the praise for the meridian and hype around prelude, should I try and send it back, at this point I am not really using the breakout box but this is a money no object question, is it worth sending it back, I...

Okay, here we go, back in 01 i bought a pair of HD600's with Headroom Little Amp. I didn't like it. Despite my $3000 cd player, the Senns sounded full on veiled, just too distant, pretty good bass, but I had to turn up the volume to get the closeness of Treble and Midrange I wanted. But they did...

I bought a TBH for my desktop computer about six months ago. Today, I thought it would be interesting to see what it was like through a decent cd player. So I got a stereo to phono adapter and tried it with my Linn Unidisk. The red light (that indicates clipping) started flashing and the sound...

I want to know the best way to do sound on a computer for $300 or so. Whatever happens, I need Audigy 2 to be my internal sound card, I play games and the Audigy2 is the only one versatile enough to play them without destroying fps. So I was considering using TBithead for music and Audigy...

Just wondering, I have read the 6moons review and wonder if anyone has heard both and could give their opinion. Do they really sound almost exactly the same, just seems strange thats all, I mean the 6moons guy could only hear a difference on SACD, it just hard to believe a company would...

Todd got them to me in great time, he's a great guy and so far it's been a great experience overall. Got to give props where props are due and I believe Todd could challenge Headroom in time Anyway, for you prospective buyers here are my impressions. XP7: Simply gorgeous. Feeling of...

I have two choices for improving the sound from my computer Get an M-audio Audiophile 2496 or I could get the Audiophile USB (reduced noise) OR I keep my Audigy 2 Plat Ex and buy an art DIO plus Stancor Power Supply upgrade. I know the best thing would be an M-audio-Art to DIO...

I am assuming that people are thinking the XP7 is the number one right now I just want to make sure this isn't the "flavor of the month syndrome" For those who have heard it, is this the best amp for $500. I don't need it for portability, I just want a great amp Phones will be the HD-650...

Okay here is what I have narrowed it down to: Stax 3030 System- $800 Obviously this will be ultra-detailed and forward but I worry that on some of my recordings on my cd's which admittedly are not good, i worry that it will make a percent of my collection unlistenable, will it? Any stax...

If you had a cool 400 usd right now, which amp would you get? It would be great if you could include two, one tube one solid, up to you! I will leave my choice for later, want to see what people come up with without my suggestion biasing. Remember this isn't about me it's about you, we...

I can't believe I am making this post. I feel I know everything imaginable about the headphones on the market right now but I just need some fresh opinions. Okay, first tell me if this was a good deal (cause I missed it) Earlier today on ebay there was an Omega I (not 2) plus T1-S...

Wondering what are some good amps to drive let's say (sr-100,sr-200, sr-300) Maximum price for amp is about $400. Also, I know the Joe's have a higher impedance but has anyone tried the RA-1 with them, any good?

i AM OFCOURSE TALKING ABOUT STAX. just wondering whether they are a big improvement in technology?
