Quote: Technically that is supposed to be an acoustically transparent part (unless I'm mistaken), so you shouldn´t worry too much about touching it. Hopefully you'll enjoy them!

Quote: It is very interesting to see that graph, that convinced me of making the mod and comparing to the parametric equalization I'm using now. I'll do that and see what happens.  

Quote:   Best time of the year :)! I'm guessing that Norway must be unfreakinbelievably beautiful in the winter (although ridiculously cold?).... mmmm... all of a sudden I have a desire to visit Norway...

Quote: Exactly ^^, hopefully I'll have enough free time (as in time away from my computer) to really enjoy it.

Salomon Quest 4D boots:         And North Face Atlas Triclimate Jacket:           I really love them :).

I haven't posted in head-fi in a long time, but I felt like posting my setup in my university room.     Thanks to traveling overseas my setup is pretty minimal (particularly by head-fi standards), consisting only of Duet and HD800, although I'm really happy to be quite honest, I won't...

Quote: Yup, you are right, I just reread some thing and I got a couple things mixed up and ended up with the wrong conclusion.

Quote:   I just mentioned s-logic because it is supposed to work when the drivers are positioned in a particular way (and I've read multiple times that ultrasones are very sensitive to positioning), so that implies that the headphones are designed to sound optimally when positioned like...

Quote: The square waves are particularly indicative of being able to reproduce the THWAK on complex passages more than just producing the THWAK by itself, do you agree? Quote:   No you are reading the graph correctly. It could be that the S-logic ultrasone thing messed...

Quote: Apart from what others mentioned about the amp, what you might be hearing is the limitation of the transient response of the 650. They are not bad in that respect, but I found that they tend to get confused in very complex songs, some fast metal for example, and although they...

Couldn't help it, I had to post Bloody Tears from Castlevania 2, one of my favorites of all time. It always makes me fill like I can go and beat anything/anybody >:D

Crysis 2 Single Player: 9/10 - I really liked the campaign of this game, one of my favorite single player shooters in quite a while. The freedom to tackle battles in the way you want is so refreshing when compared to CoD et. al., and the length seems almost spot on, much longer than most FPS...

      Quote:   ^I pretty much agree with senndroid (maybe replacing grados with HD800 since thats the can I have experience with). Acoustic is also very good, the midrange is great in the 650.   But when you mention harder stuff, I think it depends on exactly what harder stuff...

Quote: The story of this B22 is kind of curious. It started last year when I began buying all the parts necessary for building a 4 channel beta for myself, but I ran out of minerals to keep buying what I needed (I need to stop playing and watching so much Starcraft), since I haven't had...

I'm (very) excited about being closer to securing a place and funding for the postgrad studies I want to pursue .

Seeing that most people think that red isn't the best color for the 800 (and I agree, maybe except for the Iron Man 800, yeah!), what do you guys think would suit the 800?  

Look at what I found in Twitter a couple hours ago:           I think they are a custom job and not something that will be released by Senn, but from what I know they were found at Sennheiser Electronic Corp. in Connecticut. Just thought this is super cool since I've been...

  Quote: The 800 is definitely the headphone I cannot see myself without at least for the next 5 to 10 years, my favorite too! Maybe the K1000 is the only other one I've found so far that I could love so much, but find their hardness to drive a huge disadvantage, and their variable...

Quote: This got me really curious, in what aspects do you feel the 650 are better?

Quote:   I agree with everything you say Sam, except that the warm/dark/not bright signatures are not that unpopular in head-fi these days, after all of the K701/DT880/650 appreciation threads, the 650 one has had a lot of constant activity up to this date, and quite a few of new happy...

Quote: I have a 3 channel Beta22 right now, and the Beta22-650 combination is very very very good. It minimizes many of the 650 shortcomings (better transient response, better dynamics, less 3 blob soundstage and bigger) which results in a headphone that is very hard to beat if you are...

Quote: I have the LCD-2 in my head right now, and I completely agree, there is no resonance whatsoever chassis-wise (at least up to 90 db). I was wondering if the weight of the whole headphones has something to do with that? Personally, I think so, since the weight seems to help...

Quote: Coolest tarantula ever!

In this thread you can find a video tutorial of how to do what you ask.

Great list Currawong!   Although not a music player per se, a nice addition to the list would be Audio Hijack Pro. It hijacks the audio of pretty much any app and lets you use any sort of plugins, which include the graphic or parametric equalizers (Apple's and third parties'), so it makes...
