I forgot all about this thread, heck I forgot about Headfi. Unfortunately I came back now my wallet is losing weight. Anyway, Nice review on the LCD-2. I plan on picking up a pair soon.

Is there a big difference going from a Meier Concerto to a Burson Soloist?  

Microphonics isn't an issue since I use a shirt clip. I do like over the ears better but straight down isn't that bad either. I use Shure Olives tips also which help with comfort, isolation, and keeping them from falling out.   I'm not a bass head but for running an IEM with a lot of bass...

Please don't recommend anything under $100 or that I shouldn't run with $200 IEMs. Thanks.  I have been working out with my custom molded TripleFi10s for the past 3 years I think. Love them. But the left one stopped working. Looks like I need to get a new terminal installed. I planned to get...

In stock as of today. I'm thinking of ordering it myself. 

Is the old Astro Mixamp still the best thing to buy for the Xbox 360? I bought a Xbox on Black Friday and I need something for Dolby and chat processing. Doesn't matter about the amp on the mixamp since it will be plugged into my Meier Concerto to power my headphones. Thanks.

Thanks. Hopefully I can catch it once they are in stock again.

Quote: wow, I just now noticed that feature. I've been clicking on Advance Search all this time. This makes things so much easier, haha. 

Anyone use the Matrix with Grados?

Why are some $270 and some $200?

Looking for Christmas a present. $200-300. Any thoughts? I know most come out of China, but do any of them keep stock stateside?

Hey guys. Looking for a $200ish amp that pairs well with RS series Grados. Thanks.

I saw that one but it is slightly out of the budget I had in mind. A few questions though. What gain option did you go with? How long did it take to ship to you? Do they ship from Asia or are they stocked somewhere in the US?

Not for me but for a friend. He has a Grado RS2 but it is only driven by his sound card and ipod. I would like to buy him a nice one in the $200 range. I can spend a little bit more if it is worth it. I would like to find an amp that sounds great with Grados but also good with other headphones...

Quote: I agree with him. If you already have the HD650 and considering the DT990 or a K701 then the M50 shouldn't even be on your list. A friend of mine brought his over once. I have to say that they were very disappointing considering I hear so much praise for them.

I'm buying a pair of Denon D1100 for my Secret Santa.   Why not get a Grado to complement your HD650.

I like the clamping force with the Pros. The premiums are too loose for me.

Looks that way.

Quote: Oh wow I didn't even realize that. I stand corrected. I had a X-Fi Titanium "non-HD" so it didn't have those connectors.  

I can also confirm no feedback from my DT880 and Zalman clip-on mic.

  Quote: Everything is amped(3.5mm jacks) except optical. No RCA.(from my experience with several X-Fi cards) Yes, the only duties my sound card sees is surround sound processing and sending that info over optical.       Quote: Wrong in the case of X-Fi. I can't confirm...

Well he said $1,000.

Quote: Do what I did then: X-Fi > optical > DAC > Amp That way you don't have to double amp. Just pick an Amp and DAC that suites your taste in music/genre.

  Quote: He cares. He's a Hifi speaker guy. I want to get him something decent since he travels a lot. I think he would hate me if I bought him Beats, haha.       Quote: I think I did get confused with those DT1350 cause I got it from the review thread that had the 96~...

Last minute gift ideas, literally, I would like to have this ordered by tomorrow morning. I would like to be able to order this through Amazon.   So yeah, $200 best all around sound. This will be driven by some kind of mp3 player. Most likely an iPod.   The Beyer T50p is on the top of my...
