HE-560 V4 ($269)VS HE-400 (original) thoughts?
Adorama just posted a $600 cut on the HE-560 V4 headset down to $269 and I wondered if there is any point in going with this over my original HE-400 with aftermarket cable/velour pads/headband mod? I've always been very skeptical on Hifiman's newer offerings because the HE400 is one of the best...- RushNerd

User who considers the HE-400 to be his sonic zenith requests your help with $100-150 closed replacement!
EDIT: Sorry I did not see the new forum rules on suggestion threads! I could write a whole page here, but I will keep things breif: I bought the HE-400's again at the start of the year for my musical bliss needs, but have just sold them (again) via this amazing community and now I request...- RushNerd

Through my headphone journey this month I ended up with all these cans (The HE-400's are on loan so i'll have to pick up a pair) will be returning most of them, but before I did I thought I would do anyone looking at these cans a service.

Exploring music by EXTREME dynamic range
While I question some of the sources they are based off of, this is still a very interesting site which gives a "score" on an albums dynamic range. I'm not sure what they use as algorithm, but something like plain recorded speech would score the highest. Looking through both extremes of the list... -
Amping 600Ω cans (With a 2.1 system headphone jack?!)
So I just recently received my Beyer DT990 600Ω phones and have been toying around with getting them to sound right. Right now I have an HT Omega Claro Halo Soundcard with built-in Headphone amp (and am trading it in for a Asus Xonar ST soundcard this week, my guess is that the Asus isn't...- RushNerd

Directsound VS Bit-Perfect
Before anyone points out the obvious; yes I have looked around a LOT on people talking about different output types and comparisons. The issue is I have not found much in the way of constructive or helpful info. I've been using iTunes for years and I knew going into it, it wasn't the A+ choice...- RushNerd

Speakers with a killer headphone amp? Zomg.
So i've been really excited with my new Kilpsch's this week, almost to the point where I forgot about my headphones. I thought i'd try the tucked-away headphone jack on the Kilpsch control satellite. I am stunned. To my surprise there is some type of massive headphone amplifier somewhere...- RushNerd

2.1: The Final Solution
Ok that title sounded really bad. Anyway I just recently sold my $250 bose 2.1 companion 3 series setup I had been using for my computer (and thus all my music and movies) for the last year for $150. I sold it so I could pick up the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 system, it looked much beefier and had...- RushNerd

D2000 praise/discussion
Well it's been a exactly one month of constant listening and burning-in since I got my Denon's in the mail and I have to say I just discovered yesterday that I truly like these babys.
