I was using a X-Can v2. But after i bought a Harman kardon HK 980 amplifier. I have stopped using my X-Can. The HK is better. I dont want a headphone amp any more. The HK is good enough for me. It uses some headphone amp integrated on a chip.

I bought Sony MDR-CD480 for 70$. They are horrible. Used them a few hours. Went back to HD600. A few month later i tried the Sonys again. Couldn't stand more than a hour. I don't remember now how they sounded. I bought some cheap JVC headphones for 40$. After an hour i put them back into the...

How do you know that the microphone have a linear frequency response?. What you saw could be the microphone.

I have problems with brightness. Which tubes will give the least bright sound with X-CANS.

I use a Audiophile 2496 soundcard. Connected to a MF X-CANS. When i listen to MP3 files encoded at 192Kb/s or higher to me it sounds the same as playing the CD in my DVD player. I have used SB Live before the Audiophile. SB Live is not as good as a DVD player. MP3 files are very good when they...

By using the equalizer i have solved the problem with bright headphones. In theory i should not need an equalizer. HD600 is often described as roll of treble, laid back and dark sounding. I also have a Pioneer DVD player, it is a bit brighter than the Hoyo. I don't think the problem is my DVD...

I am using a pioneer equalizer to get the treble down. I can not stand any headphone without turning down the treble. I have HD600, AKG K501, Philips HP890 and HD570. To me they are all too bright. Here are some reason i have thought out. CDs are mastered bright. Bright sounding CDs sells...

I have been reading this forum for a year. I know about the war between team sennheiser and team AKG. But that is not going to stop me posting my opinions about AKG and sennheiser. I have seen so many flamewars on USENET, i know how they works. To Neruda The voices sounds more natural in...

I received my K501 a few days ago. I have used HD600 for a year. HD600 is the best headphones i have so i always compare headphones to HD600. I have a few other headphones, HD570, Philips HP890 and Sony MDR-CD480. None of them comes close to HD600 in sound quality. I decided before i bought K501...

I am using a simple Pioneer 7-bands equalizer with my hd-600. I think hd-600 is too bright. I turn down 2.4KHz band 6 dB, 6KHz 6dB and 15KHz 3dB. Now i can even listen to Destinys child. Before i got the EQ i couldn't stand most of the new pop CDs. Voices was loud and hard. Now my hd-600 sounds...

I bought a Musical fidelity X-CANV2. And it was much better than the Onkyo amp. I dont have any problems with the treble anymore. My HD600 are not bright anymore. You all were right, you need a headphone amp for good headphones.

I am using a pair of sennheiser HD-600 with an Onkyo Integra A-807 amplifier. I think it sounds good. Would it be better with a headphone amp. How would I connect the headphone amp to my system?. The amps I looked at doesn't have any bass or treble controls. I need to turn down the treble...
