    Feedback by 'BoyNamedSue' on listing 'AKG K240 Sextett MP'

    Seller patiently answered my many questions given vintage item from 70s/80s. Shipping went smoothly from NL to US, and headphones arrived in amazing condition (like NOS), and sound great! Highly recommended!

    Comment by 'BoyNamedSue' on listing 'SOLD Abbas 2.3SE w/upgraded tube cap.'

    One of my biggest regrets in this hobby is backing out of deal for this exact unit, mostly due to rupture with previous seller. I backed out due to its esoteric design (never heard this exact unit), but luckily acquired a 2.2 since then, and I am a believer. The Abbas extracts emotions from...

    PS1000 Impressions Thread

    Been chasing old flagships and recently acquired a "hotrodded" PS1000 with shipido blocks and headband, and detachable cable to 4.4 balanced connector. The cable is very well-made and portable. My first impression: unpleasantly V-shaped, with sizzling hot treble and recessed mids. I heard all...

    For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

    Addicted to Sony Z1R, balanced, driven by WM1A firmware 3.00.

    Onkyo A800 – "MASTER CLASS"

    For vocals, I'm partial to electrostatics with tubes: HE60 and Jade 2's are some of favorites. For dynamics, I love the ATH-ESW10JPN and ES-R10. My preference leans towards coloration with a generous serving of euphonic sweetness, so my taste may not be for everyone.

    Onkyo A800 – "MASTER CLASS"

    @protoss, its awesome such a modestly priced headphone is your favorite, which is high praise given your extensive experience. It reminds me of a headfier who owned a he90, r10, qualia, utopia, 009, etc..., and their favorite was a grado ps1000. Just shows that personal preference is king. I...

    Audio Technica ATH-L5000

    @protoss, congrats on your third pair! Yeah, saw that you finally went public with the hidden gem that is the A800. Will post my impressions on your thread once I get through reconfiguring my system.

    Audio-Technica ATH-W2022 - 60th Anniversary Headphone

    100 is such a limited number, I wouldn't be surprised if these sell out quick. Wasn't that the case with the L5000 whose $4k price was considered steep at the time? Hopefully, they reach the ears of serious audio enthusiasts, as opposed to wealthy collectors that treat it more as an art...

    Audial S5

    There's one for sale currently on the classified: https://www.head-fi.org/classifieds/audial-s5-tda1541-dac.32286/ Although not the S5, Hands from the best friends site provides a comparison of the model S with other NOS DACS. Unfortunately, I've never heard one myself and eventually settled...

    Audio Technica ATH-L5000

    Yeah, 9k is very steep. Been eagerly waiting for this release and was wishfully hoping for 5k. Current pricing is unobtanium for mere mortals like myself, unless I sell most of my gear.

    Audio Technica ATH-L5000

    Super excited. Beautiful, and love the art. Been contemplating selling most of my gear and settling on a few special pieces to retire from this hobby with. If the sound is there, this definitely fits the bill. It may also be a worthwhile "investment" as the anniversary models have held their...

    CanJam SoCal 2022 Impressions Thread (September 17-18, 2022)

    Had a great time! My favorite setups, based on criteria of getting me lost in the music: 1. ZMF Atrium (Metrum Morpheus, Airmid OTL amp). Fun, engaging, musical, punchy, great staging, and natural. Noticeably more resolving than the Auteur and Aelous I have at home. Everything sounded good...

    Show us your Head-Fi station at it's current state. No old pictures please...

    Turned off my desktop system to save power in lieu of heat wave here in Cali. No AC, no system, no problem! Seriously, the Aeolus off a DAP sounds so good, I don't miss my system at all.

    @bigjako this whole time i thought that was your real photo, and saw you as the coolest looking headfier! I'm sure the real you looks cool too! :beerchug:

    Audio-gd HE-9 MK2

    Have to respectfully disagree. When og yggy was all the rage, i had it in my system expecting it to be an upgrade to my m7 and nfb7, and both audiogd's beat it based on many nights of direct comparisons (even kept the yggy on for weeks to sound optimal). I am a dac head and now run M7 along...

    Vintage OG and Present Day TOTL Comparisons and Impressions Thread

    "Battle of the flagships 2?"...j/k. Number1sixerfan (and maybe Torq) may be in best position to take that mantle, but i think David mentioned that list took a toll on his health, so wouldn't wish that on Richard. Love the journey/impressions format though and wouldn't want that to change. All...
