Hey guys I'm looking to get some opinions on whether these seem legit:   http://www.crazysales.com.au/audio-technica-ath-esw9-headphones.html?utm_campaign=Headphones,%20Earphones&utm_term=ATH-ESW9&utm_source=google&utm_medium=GPS   I know it's a pretty average price for those of you in...

A few days ago a song I was listening to started going up and down in volume at random times for a few minutes. The change wasn't sharp or sudden, but sort of a quick swell up or crescendo for a second before settling back down to the normal level. I played the parts that were doing this over...

Just out of curiosity for a future upgrade, how should I go about creating a balanced setup for my 650's? I'd have to get a new cable, dac and amp right? Balanced is a significant improvement right? How much would I be looking to spend to create a decent balanced rig that's also a significant...

Has anyone with a Solo ever compared the energy efficient psu with the PSU1? Just wondering if it's a worthwhile upgrade.

Currently using an X-Fi XtremeMusic with a 3.5mm mono to rca adaptor plugged into the flexijack, and a rca cable connecting that to the coax input of my dac. Since the signal's digital anyway would it make a difference if I upgraded my sound card? My 3.5mm mono to rca adaptor is some crappy...

Music played in iTunes stutters and skips when there's any kind of mild computer activity like opening chrome or clicking a link. foobar seems to be fine. I thought it might be because I'm connected to my dac through usb but if foobar works alright then it should be ok :/ e4300, 2gb ram...

I have two wall sockets near my computer. One of them is connected to a daisy chain of 3 powerboards which power my computer, monitor, speakers, phone, router, printer, lamp, and phone charger. The other socket is connected to a powerboard with just my amp and dac. So I'm wondering two...

They fell from a height of a little under a meter onto a hard wooden floor with enough force to push the headband back to the shortest length on both sides. I'm just worried that they may be damaged in some way but they look and sound fine. So I'm wondering how well built the 650's are and...

I'm considering buying this cable: [ZN7]É*º£Èû¶ûHD650 HD600 580Éý¼¶Ïß-Ô*Éù´ø(Õã½*Öз229ºÅ255)-ÌÔ±¦Íø It's about $50 which seems much cheaper than recabling outside of China. I'm just wondering if it's worth replacing the stock 650 cable. The store owner told me that the cable doesn't flat...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any good music stores in Shanghai. I can't find any other than small stores and since some of the cd's I've bought have sounded like crap and some others have been fairly suspect I don't trust the quality. A lot of...

I bought a Yulong DAC which takes a 220-240v input voltage. However the power cable they gave me terminates in an American style nema 5 plug and it says 125v~ on it. I've got it plugged into a 220v Chinese socket using an adaptor and it seems to be working fine (I'll be returning home to Sydney...

My laptop has a slot loader dvd burner which I use to rip cd's to ALAC. Problem is, it's having trouble reading dvd's now and after a few minutes of dvd playback the video freezes and my drive starts making funny sounds and makes my computer almost unresponsive for a minute or two before I'm...

See below.

I currently have A700's connected to a XtremeMusic and I'm pretty happy with the immersion in games due to CMSS3D and EAX or whatever it is the X-Fi does. I know the STX will be an enormous upgrade in terms of music but I was just hoping it wouldn't be a lot worse for gaming and movies. So...

Nvm -.-
