    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...

    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...

    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...

    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. Not much, just about 55/45 biased to the left. After checking everything in the source equipment...

    iPod/iTransport vs. Squeezebox, pros and cons?
