I've got a Shanling PH-100 which outputs a max of 65mW @ 600 Ohms. I've been running my DT880/600 through them for a while now since I haven't really had the money to upgrade until now. I did a quick but of A/B'ing and feel the amp is adequate enough currently so SQ isn't an issue at the...

An ad for some Peugeot car just came on TV and... "...perfectly balanced..." You can probably imagine what went through my head. Although, the fact I'm currently head-fi doesn't help

I've been wondering, i've never been able to distinguish front from back when playing MW2 with headphones unless i'm moving around a bit and can somewhat "triangulate" the footsteps. Do headphones ever really provide a true "Z-Axis"? (front/back). I've been finding my dad's new 5.1 setup...

Right, well i never really used the PS3 for music before since i used my headphone rig for just games. Well, my dad just got some speakers (KEF 2005 .. unsure on which version, i think 2005.3?) and then... well i figured that the PS3 would be decent as a source to test some music. It was night...

I'm going to be recabling my friends' headphones since the cable is bung. They're K518's and I was wondering.. How important is shielding? I was thinking about just getting some decent OFC flexible speaker cable but.. they're portable. Is my friend going to suffer constant "deet deet deet deet...

I'm looking for something to compliment my K701.. just.. more "friendly" sounding. By no means do i find my K701 a bad headphone but.. just looking to get something different. I don't want to go over the mid-fi range really. I'm selling my DT770/80 for some funds and i -may- sell my MS-1i for...

Got bored and decided to a/b some flac and mp3. Right well, i only really tested 3 songs and took a few minutes on each song. One song.. it was about 50/50 (i believe this song to be the lowest quality recording, audible hiss is present). Currently using Winamp with ASIO drivers with: K701...

According to Google Google Trends: Grado I actually cant possibly fathom why searches for Grado drop so much during the Christmas season :\ Edit: http://translate.google.com/translat...o&sl=es&tl=en# Noticed some top countries were spanish speaking so hm.

Well, i picked up a glass head a while back since it was cheap and was wondering.. Will it wear down the pads very quickly?

My 3rd girlfriend (First being a certain someone and the second being Modern Warfare 2[although, i think i may be breaking that one off soon]), my K701s are very much a love-hate relationship. At times.. they're beautiful At times.. they sound like theres a lathe up against my ears Eh...

All i've been able to find is iPods and Zunes. Does anyone know anything else? I'm not a fan of the iPod's controls and Zunes aren't cheap to import into NZ

Short version: HD600 a safe choice? I listen to mostly quite light music, i'm not a basshead. Didn't like HD650's bass/veil. Considered K501 and K601. I've decided that I don't particularly agree completely with the sound sig of my K701s. I've started feeling my music feels a lot colder...

Official Website to listen. I was at borders going through their cds at the listening post and came across this New Zealand band. They cover quite a wide variety of genres and i find their music very interesting. I've been bashing this album over and over again on my commute. I've grown quite...

Does anyone know how to remove the headband? I want to try replace it with the K601 one which is apparently a bajillion times more comfortable, which i can imagine. I realised the only reason why the headphones were getting more comfortable is because the dimple on the top of my head is getting...

Does anyone know of any good albums with more modern/neoclassical songs on it? I'm really after cellos (any strings will do though really, they're all wonderful instruments). I've been noticing a rather large void of music with my favourite instrument group. 'tis a shame i was brought up on...

Well, i've been wanting to pick up a pair of Grados for a while now and I heard my friends' modded SR60i's which I was -fully- impressed. I now understand why theres such a following here for their very nice sound signiature. I've been finding it much easier & cheaper to bang at Alessandro's...

Well, i'm just curious, how did everyone here start your spending spree on headphones & other related gear? I was kinda never satisfied with my audio quality from anything, then i went to go look for reviews of headphones in a certain price range, found this place, bought HD555's then kept...

So... I just got an invite, what's everyone's thoughts. I think it may be a difficult for the non-technically minded unless they're planning on giving shortcuts to the commands (ie. by: with: tag: etc..). Everyday-users hate commands .

Not entirely sure if this is the right place to post.. Well, my dad gave me a pair of his old speakers (from the 80s i believe) since he's upgraded and well... I have no idea about anything on them, the amp (A&R Cambridge A60) is pretty bust (channels aren't balanced). Probably ought to get a...

I've been searching all over the internet for an iPod Touch 2g Dock w/ lineout to no success.. I'm just a simple dock, nothing fancy. I just want to be able to plug my iPod into my amp nicely without having to turn my computer on. Does it exist? or should i just buy an old one and attempt to...

Well, i'm from New Zealand and pickins are slim in terms of retailers carrying headamps. The only one that interests me that i've been able to find (around Wellington) is the Perreaux SXH2 which i can't find much information on. I haven't really had a chance to listen to any headamps but.. Whats...

Its funny when my friends ask me about how much i've spent on headphones/etc (eye-bulging reactions, jaws hitting the floor). Like, i know people that've spent multiple times the amount I have. Its just funny

Well, basically the soldering job inside the terminal of my eBay-bought LOD came loose and i can't use the same terminal since its locked-down pretty well lol. Anyways, i'm after some advice on recabling it. I have a little bit of experience making up cables (made a cable for my Creative Zen...

So, basically, i ordered some K701s and paired them with my Meier Audio Corda 3move and personally.. I think they're fine. By fine, i mean well pronounced with no major distortion/problems (to my ears). They sound accurate. I have the dial at around 10-11 o'clock on high gain (my listening...

So.. I'm thinking about building a SSMH due to the fact I just acquired a pair of K701s and well, all I have at the moment is a Corda 3move to drive them which isn't exactly ideal (oh, and some old A&R Cambridge A60 but.. thats hooked up to some old Griffin speakers atm). I thought it'd be...
