Quote:   Completely agree, the beyer DT headphones are about as sturdy as you are going to find. just because they make a noise when you wrench them into a completely unnatural position does not mean they are cheaply made.. I have had mine for 5 years and I beat the crap out of them...

I have been using an old CMOY in a mint tin for travel and a HeadRoom micro amp with home module upgrade for years now. It's time for an upgrade.   I would like an amp that has a long battery life, small-ish size and a built in USB dac because I will be using this mostly with my windows...

So the left channel dropped out on my relatively new DT770 2006 headphones. Just got a new MP3 player as well. I purchased them from meier-audio... what are my options for getting them fixed?

ok fellas, my sister has a nomad micro, but the earbuds that came with it dont fit in her ears, they just fall out. i gave her a pair of my old sony buds and those were too big as well. my sister doesnt want anything big, they have to be small enough to fit in her pocket when she is done. so...

you can find a used threshold stasis s/300 for around $500-$750... 150wpc, built like a brick crapper. these nelson pass(of pass labs) designed amps are considered by many to be among the best ever made at any price. there are people who specialize in restoring these amps as well. feel free...

carrying multiple batteries doesnt bother me...

I have owned a headsave maxed-out MINT for over 3 years now, and I must say that I do love the thing, but I just stepped up to my first pair of serious headphones, and i feel that my amp just isnt cutting it. I have a pair of the new 2006 beyer dt-770s and I run a completely portable rig with...

just got a brand new pair of the 2006 DT770s and unfortunately my headsave MINT amp(3 years old+) has to be near 100% volume to drive them to decent sound levels. Thankfully, the beyers sound pretty damn good, but they lack some of the impact i remember from the last time i auditioned them...

when using my portable setup, i notice a large ammount of background hiss when i turn the volume up past maybe 60-70%, increasing rapidly past that point. I have a pretty nice stereo setup, and i do not notice this much hiss with my CDs even at high volume.. assuming the conversion to MP3...

I am trying to find a new pair of cans for general music listening. I have had a pair of senn 212s for a few years now and have been happy with thier performance but now that I have a new job and a much bigger paycheck, I am looking to upgrade. I tried a pair of ultrasone hfi-700s about a...

so i pulled the thing apart and got my drive out of the case... the problem is that 2 gold peices with springs attached fell out when i was removing the drive... i have no idea where these things go HELP

does the zen micro allow you to automatically record an FM broadcast? basically im wondering if i can set the micro to record howard stern every morning starting at 6am, but i dont want to have to actually wake up to manually start the recording.... help

i am an IT person, and i build computers for friends/family on the side. i currently have a HTPC in my living room running cableTV, MP3 audio and DVD playback, and of course its a fully functioning computer. ive been planning a dedicated hi-fi computer for a long time, but unfortunately my funds...

thanks for your compliments. ive been a klipsch fan since i first heard them when i was 11 or so. i actually have a pair of '76 heresy Is paired with a hafler dh220. im actually thinking of selling the heresys and moving up to forte Is. just waiting for a local seller on ebay or audiogon. as for...

for a cheap amp? id reccomend hafler, rotel, acurus. at least 20w is preferable, but id still go higher for some overhead. you can find used models of the above mentioned amps for around $200. all sound great with klipsch. as for the chorus II model comments: stevieo, try moving your...

how does the a900 bass compare with the ultrasone hfi-700s or the senn 212s? im interested in the a900s but i want to make sure they have a decent bass responce.. (yes, im a bass head).

this is the best 9v NIMH charger out there. i love mine. i would also pick up some of the powerex 9v NIMH rechargables. 2 hours per charge and i get 15-20 hours usage in my headsave mint. http://www.thomasdistributing.com/mh-c1090f.htm

$400 really? that seems a bit much...

my senn 212s cables are wearing out, does anyeone know where i can get a replacement cable?

my custom headsave MINT did those phones right man.

what player do you use?

i need an mp3 player for working out. id prefer a hard-drive based player, but ive heard that they are not good while running and the like. ive had my eye on the ipod mini, but im scared i might damage the drive... my max budget is $300, what do you guys think? the more storage the better...

other than meier audio. preferably in the US...

im not really interested in DIY modifications, im just going to dump these things once i get a replacement. they will probably be listed here at the site within a few weeks. its a shame because i really like the sound, but i gotta find something else that will fit my head a bit better. im...
