For many years I have been waiting for a Unicorn headphone that will be the end all of them all. It would be nice to have a single headphone that weighs like a feather but has an open can sound and low end of a closed can. Also having the largest sound stage and best tonal balance of any...

In Northwest suburbs of IL. I am not planning on keeping all the headphone Amp/DACs. Will sell either 1 or 2 and possibly the same for the headphones. Keep one of the 2 if not both. Let's plan for early March, figured give everyone enough time to carve out some time. Have on hand - Amp/DAC Woo...

One of the best headphone review channels, period. Anyone else seen this? Detailed, funny, charming and just an honest review. And great sound capturing tools to hear the sound signature of the headphones. I love the tools he use to grab the headphones sound signature. It's actually fairly...

In summary: Looking for 2 pairs of headphones to cover the widest genre's of music. And call it a day. Also need 1 amp/dac that works well with both those headphones. This is a complicated love triangle. The amp/dac should suit both headphones. Budget: $1000-$1200 each headphone Amp/DAC: $1000...

Hi everyone, I think my Clear's may have been damaged by the DAC. I just bought the Chord Mojo from the Guitar center and received it yesterday, I bought my Focal Clear from another authorized retailer a week ago. I have been using the Focal Clear with my receiver and the Pro-Ject S2 as well...

Recently picked up this beauty. Had a terrible experience of listening to them through my Sony STR-DH740 receiver as that receiver is not friendly with low impedance headphones. Any way, some of the friendly members here have made some recommendations for them in the Focal Clear thread, and I...

Hello everyone, Been a while. Looking for a triple fi replacement. I love my Triple.Fi 10 for the following reasons: Soundstage Clean sound Sound signature and good bass to go with it Easy to drive and can go loud without distorting Sound great with any source: my phone, laptop and portable...

Hi Folks, so I'm in a little dilemma. Do I keep the HD 700 and purchase a Woo Audio WA7 fireflies for it (to get the tube sound and tame the sibilance) or just sell the HD 700 and go with the HD 800 S?   My thoughts on the HD 700.   I've been using them on a daily basis for 4-6 hours for...

Typing from my phone as I'm on vacation. Long story short, Just became victim of a thef. Had my camera backpack stolen which had $8000 of camera equipment and my beloved triple fi 10 which accompanied me everywhere I traveled. I would never travel without them. Plus I have serious ear pressure...

Hi everyone!   Wanted your two cents. I am almost done putting together my two channel set up. Here is the config:   Dell Slim Tower PC (no expansion slots) Harman Kardon HK 3490 Stereo Receiver (Optical Input, Coaxial)   Not sure what to get as I prefer using the Optical IN on the...

Thanks in advance for your help. Went to Axpona, tested the WA7 with the HD 700, thought it was an excellent match. Before I was contemplating selling my HD 700 but with the WA7 they're a keeper. I felt the WA7 resolved all issues I had with the HD 700.   Before I plunge $$$$ on the WA7 +...

I currently own a SB-Z and was wondering if it's worth the upgrade to the ZXR. SNR and everything aside, does it drive the headphones louder and does sound signature change (for the better)? Headphones: Sennheiser HD 650 Sennheiser HD 598 Shure SRH1540   Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am looking to fill a gap with my collection.   Currently own the Sennheiser HD 598 Sennheiser HD 650 Audio-Technica ATH-A900x (closed) Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 (open)   I love my Sennheiser's but they don't produce the oomph I need from Electronic/Rock/Hip-hop music that I...

to plug into my sound card. Apparently the one I used degraded the sound. First time I have witnessed that audio cable can/does make a difference. It was a generic dynex cable and the sound lost quality and amplification. I would like a higher quality cable to plug my Senn HD598 into my Sound...

Can a home theater receiver work as well as a headphone amp? Can they drive 600 ohm headphones well? Or even 250 ohms?    Receiver in question: Harman Kardon AVR1700   Thanks!
