    Monsoons on the Bin Wall

    I found a pair of Monsoon speakers on the bin wall. They may or may not work, and I only found the two satellites. In addition, the two satellites are terminated in 4 pin din connectors. I guess I have to convert that to RCA or PHONO jack. Any tips on that? Do you think it's worth it trying to...

    Buying portable or in-ear headphones? Seeking guidance? DON'T START A NEW THREAD. Ask for advice HERE!

    I'm looking at relatively clean, balanced headphones with strong build quality, comfort and good isolation for around ~50. I think the DUNU Ares or the MEElectronics A151  fits the bill, but I'd love to have your thoughts

    ~50 dollar Neutral Monitor IEMs with Good Isolation/Comfort

    Thanks. I was not aware of that policy. If someone will close/delete this, I'll move to that thread.

    ~50 dollar Neutral Monitor IEMs with Good Isolation/Comfort

    I'm looking for a good set of budget IEMs with a tonally balanced, clear, and neutral sound. I'm planning on using these while doing homework, so I need good isolation and comfort. I've read about the ThinkSound MS01, but they are a little bit more than I want to spend. I'm also not planning...

    AMP and or DAC Recommendations for Beyerdynamic DT48E ($350ish)

    My music is stored almost exclusively on the computer, so I really have no need for a cd player. Thanks for the response though   I'd like to expand this to plain amps as well

    AMP and or DAC Recommendations for Beyerdynamic DT48E ($350ish)

    I'm looking to get either a good dac/amp or just amp for about 350 dollars. It would have to pair well with the Beyerdynamic DT48e. I'd really just like to know what is currently out there in this range.       Thanks

    Compact Budget Amp for Ascend CBM-170SE

    Being a noob to the power amplification world, I thought I'd seek guidance on an amp for these speakers, the Ascend CBM-170SE Link here: http://www.ascendacoustics.com/pages/products/speakers/cbm170/cbm170.html They give a minimum power of 25W and max of 200W. I found these...

    Best Dac Amp Combo <$500 with DT48

    Basically I'm looking for either a Dac/Amp or an Amp and a Dac for around this price range. Research shows Beresford TC-7520, V-Dac plus ?, DacMagic +? or maybe a portable iBasso D10. Suggestions?     Addendum: I prefer clean neutral sound, for what its worth.

    Headphonia USB Dac Stick + Headstage Arrow 12HE vs iBasso D10

    Has anyone compared the two? I'm leaning towards the arrow due to crossfeed, variable impedance matching, and high power ouput. Anyone care to give a comment, as a review seems scarce of the combo.

    Role of a DAC. Pairing with DT48E

    Anyone compared the iBasso to the Headstage 12 He or dac stick?

    Role of a DAC. Pairing with DT48E

    Also, I saw the iBasso D10 had an ouput impedance of 32 ohms and I have the 25 ohm DT48E. Any Problems there?

    Role of a DAC. Pairing with DT48E

    I didn't know about the settings, and changed them. Might be less hiss than before.  Right know I am using my soundcard and a cmoybb. Yes, I know its not a great setup. I was kinda hoping I could knock both the dac and amp out with the iBasso D10.  Any other amp/dac combos  for less than 300...

    Role of a DAC. Pairing with DT48E

    I have a Beyerdynamic DT48E and enjoy it, but I use my Macbook as a source and was wondering if a DAC would eliminate the slight white noise I hear by using the digital out and converting the sound to analog beter. Also, I was considering the iBasso D10, and was wondering how it would pair with...

    Role of a Dac/ Pairing (Accidental Duplication)

    I currently own a pair of Beyerdynamic DT48E and I really like them, but I use my computers soundcard as my source and my Macbook has slight white noise. As I understand it, a DAC would use the digital out on my laptop, thus eliminating the noise from my analog soundcard. Is this a correct...

    The Beyerdynamic DT48 Arrives...

    I am really enjoying my headphones, the one flaw in my eyes is the condensation that builds up over half an hour. Does anyone know how to stop it, or tried a dehumidifying spray, maybe? I love the steel construction however. I have the new DT48e.

    The Beyerdynamic DT48 Arrives...

    The new DT48e is a wonderful headphone. True, this is my first headphone in this range, or anywhere near it, but it will probably be the only one. They reproduce my piano like nothing I've heard before, save the piano. Well satisfied, but hoping clamping force will lessen a little and bass will...

    Good Neutral(Preferably Closed) Headphones

    Thanks for the responses. Went with the Beyerdynamic DT48e 25 ohm. Audio and Music equipment is so darn expensive for good things. Looking forward to their arrival. Can't wait to hear my DP and jazz recordings.

    The Beyerdynamic DT48 Arrives...

    What do you mean by"extension" You mean the treble drop is less for the newer. Isn't the bass flat already? You now anywhere you can get vintage DT48?

    The Beyerdynamic DT48 Arrives...

    Anyone have a link to a frequency response graph for the dt48e 25 ohm? I found one on wikiphonia, but I think it is for the vintage. Are they the same? Thank You

    The Beyerdynamic DT48 Arrives...

    Anyone care to provide their equalizer settings. I have never used a parametric equalizer before. Also, the Tomahawk is designed to deal with low impedance IEMs, is it good for this application(need portable) For equalizing, should I follow the thread, or use the frequency response graph on...

    The Beyerdynamic DT48 Arrives...

    Just ordered a pair of Beyerdynamic DT48e new from B&H. Heard they had near the best piano sound, so they should be good for my DP. Yes, I have an amp/dac that should fit the bill. Does using an equalizer help with the weak treble, bass? Do I need a 100 ohm adaptor, and if so, could you link...

    Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro 32 or 250 ohms

    I chose the above headphone, but I am wondering how good an amp you would need to drive it? Would the cmoy, or headroom airhead cover it? On headroom, it said the 32 ohm version had slightly more bass, so if needed I could EQ it down, but if the 250 ohm version sounds so much better...... Could...

    Good Neutral(Preferably Closed) Headphones

    Say I went with open headphones, What would fit the bill then. I'd want something with wide sound stage, somewhat neutral, and with a low enough impedance to be driven by cmoy. Also, prefer something replacable and durable. How are the Beyerdynamic Pro series?
