Why aren't Head-fi'ers more excited about the DT990/600?
Hi folks, today I received my DT990/600 which I bought as a way to ease the pain of selling my T1's. I couldn't resist the sale prices available at a few well known retailers. At this price, I knew I could try them out guilt free. I'll hold off on reviewing them fully until I spend more...- MarkJnK

January 14 to May 1st... and I'm done, found my perfect phone, and am moving on.
On Jan 13th, I was not an audio guy, just a casual listener. Then I joined Head-fi on Jan 14th after buying some Sony MDR-150 headphones at walmart and finding that I liked the idea of wearing headphones while working in my art studio, and not waking our infant daughter, but realized the Sony's...- MarkJnK

Scenario: A hotel room, candlelight, champagne...
A K701 and a HD650 slipping under the covers for a little romance... What will their lovechild resemble? If they procreated, and created a phone with the sparkle and detail of the K701, and the warmth and bass of the HD650... would it resemble anything available right now? Does this headphone...- MarkJnK

Check your HD650's!
Today I received a used pair of HD650's. They looked to be in pristine condition. I anxiously plugged them in and gave them a listen. Instantly it was apparent to me that they sounded imbalanced.

Help me decide between WA2 and WA6SE... for K701

I'm not a bass-head, I listen to alot of lounge jazz, Krall, Buble, nora Jones, some classic stuff like Billy...- MarkJnK

iPod/iTransport vs. Squeezebox, pros and cons?
Hi everyone, I'm new here and really studying all my options for a mid-fi listening station in my studio. So far I have K701 cans, X-Can v8p (inbound), and plan to buy a DacMagic. So my question is the source. I have my library on iTunes, about 60% lossless files, and 40% 256kbps or...- MarkJnK
