NEW: Audio-Technica ATH-ESW11LTD
I'm a current owner of ESW10 (3+ years). To me ESW11 failed to exceed in terms of both sound quality and physical beauty when comparing against the former portable flagship. Just my 2 cents though.- HelloHell

NEW: Audio-Technica ATH-ESW11LTD
I can confirm that ESW11LTD share the same drivers with W3000anv. One of my friends went to AT's product launch press conference and one AT staff told him the aforementioned info.- HelloHell

Sony PHA-1 portable DAC/amp
This looks interesting. Subscribed. In terms of it's form factor, I'm very happy to see that Sony's industrial design is still topnotch. Being a designer myself, I can see the aesthetic logic underneath their product design.- HelloHell

This is absolutely beautiful. Congratulations on the successful hunt. I would've probably done a similar hunt if I didn't invest way too much in photography gear...- HelloHell

Entry level Audiophile headphones? Budget up to $200
Some recommendations from my past experience: Senn HD598, HD25-1 ii Denon D2000, D1100 Audio Technica M50, ESW9 Shure SRH840 AIAIAI TMA-1 KOSS DJ100 V-Moda Crossfade LP All of them do not require serious amping to sound good, which is essential for starters.- HelloHell

Building a new portable rig, need suggestions please
I have experience with many portable amps, and the best one so far for IEMs is Pico Slim. My suggestion: iPod -> CLAS -> Pico Slim -> IEMs If you want a less bulky solution, try iMod/WhipMod -> Pico Slim --> IEMs. Frankly interconnects have the least effect on sound in a...- HelloHell

Breaking news! Chinese company acquires Stax..
The sale price of STAX is not steep at all (it's rather a steal, imo). Other major headphone companies like Senn, Beyer and Sony could have completed the acquisition easily if they wanted to, but the sad fact is that nobody is really interested in the electrostatic technology. Some people...- HelloHell

The brightness, or sibilance, does not go away after an extensive period of burn-in for my SR-71B - LCD-2 setup. That's one of the reasons I decided to sell SR-71B and wait for Rx Mk3.- HelloHell

One of my friends who works for Sennheiser Asia has confirmed that HD700 will be announced early Jan. 2012, along with some other new models as well. He politely refused to go into further detail so I have no idea what "other models" are.- HelloHell

Googleli, LCD-2 were my primary cans for a long time but I occasionally use them with not-so-portable rig (CLAS + SR-71B), largely due to Rob, Laszlo (Warp08) and Jude's recommendation. LCD-2 are still part of my home rig but the fact is that I recently acquired Audio-Technica's ANV combo...- HelloHell

I already sold my SR-71B because I'm honestly not fully satisfied with LCD-2 in balanced mode. They sound great but I do notice the "brightness" issue mentioned by googeli. I'll wait and buy the ALO Rx Mk3 once available to see if its balanced mode does a better job.- HelloHell
