Anyone notice how new window will open up when clicking on forums link in the main head-fi.org page? Is so annoying. New window isn't even same size as my regular one and I had to bookmark seperate link for forums to avoid opening a new window.

There's some impressions and reviews about them at head-fi but I couldn't find any recent availability information about them. I know Sennheiser discountinued them and how hard will it be to find a fully working used one? Where is the best place to find them? If there is a seller what's a fair...

I found a replacement pad for my HD600 at senheiserusa website right here (H-50635) but noticed the pads are brown instead of my stock black pads. Anyone ordered replacement pads for HD600 before and can tell me if pads they send you is brown or black?

Here is the test you have all been waiting for. Well it took me about 24 hours anyway. I won't be listening to DSOTM for a long while after a whole day of nothing but that. AIFF's battery time was 7 hours and 30 minutes and AL's time was 6 hours. Pink Floyd's DSOTM was ripped to AIFF and AL and...

Did you know you can still search head-fi even while search is down? This method isn't good as head-fi's own search, but it should give you the fix you need. Go to google and type in [your search subject] site:www5.head-fi.org Enjoy

After getting a new SACD player I decided to buy more discs than usual to quickly increase my hi-res collection. I buy about 15-20 CDs a year but that number will rise to about 50-100 discs this year for my SACD collection. Which lead me to wonder how much discs (CD, SACD, DVDA, Vinyl) other...

My headphone system is finally complete! I've been anxiously waiting for my new source (Marantz 8260) to arrive all week and is here! Here's my system: Marantz -> X-Can V3 -> HD600. WOW Even without burning in the Marantz my CDs sound lot better. Must.. press... the... stop... button... but I...

While visiting stereophile.com I found this article about new US distributor. And Perreaux will come out with new USB/DAC with 192khz at 24-bits upsampling. As a laptop user I can't wait to hear if the new USB DAC will be any good.

I had my HD600 for almost three weeks now and this morning I had a epiphany. HD600s has the click headband adjustment feature and why not set it to same click amount on each side? 10 clicks on each side are perfect for me and it improved the comfort tremendously. I couldn't find anything...

Here's my current setup: iPod G3 -> X-Can V3 -> HD600. I noticed a hiss when I pause the iPod and started raising the volume level on my amp. But there is NO WAY this hiss can be heard in normal listening levels. Does all iPods have this hiss or is mine defective? If you're wondering, the...

From reading CD3K threads last few days there appears to be universal praise for them. Is there anyone out there who doesn't like CD3K? If you don't like them can you tell me why? I want to hear some CONS instead of only PROS (hype) about them.

Is tube matching a BS? If it isn't why do most on-line dealers I found only sell unmatched tubes? My X-Can V3 is on the way and I want to buy some spare tubes.

April issue of Stereophile ranked it as Class A ($400 amp). So I bought the January issue from zinio.com for very short review of the amp. But reviewer only used HD600 with it. Is V3 that good? There are many posts here about how SXH-1 is better than V3.

I know that CD and SACD players have RCA or XLR outputs but what about vinyl? And is hooking up vinyl to headphones same as it is for digital sources (SACDP->head amp->headphone)?

I noticed paypal fee in few FS items and what are they for? I never had to pay paypal anything in last three years. What's "obo"?

How can I add CD-TEXT to CDs I burn on my Mac? I use iTunes and Toast light 5.2.

Is it any good? Lowest price I found it for is $900 online. Any better SACD at that price? Any please answer my other question here: (http://www5.head-fi.org/forums/showt...threadid=63596)

Here's what I found while checking out Marantz SA 8260 manual from their website (from page 21): Super Audio CDs have a wide playback frequency band of 100 kHz that is beyond the audible range: this means that their signals contain ultra-high-range components that conventional CDs do not...

My phones: ER-4S and Grado SR60 Source: iPod 3g and ancient Yamaha HT system Amp: none I have narrowed it down to source upgrade to Sony SCD-C555ES (unmodded) or high end amp (PPA, HR MOH, and etc). Which option will give me the better sound? I'll eventually have both; my upgrade strategy...

Any recommendation on good classical albums with mostly brass instruments? Any famous composers who used mostly brass instruments?

Is ER-4P with the S adapter good as ER-4S? I can believe it can be almost as good but good as the real thing? And if ER-4P with S adapter is just as good as ER-4S, why is Etymotic still selling 4S version?
