Awesome ! Can you take pictures of the inside ?

LCD2+dac1 headamp : does anyone have a hiss ?

Can someone make a short resumé comparing : A5, airmotiv4 and theses ?

i'm trading a custom 823 B clear 14k against a M nib if someone is interested

My rig is M-stage+audinst MX1 the m-stage will give you more power but considering the headphones that you have, you wouldnt notice much difference.

yeah but i feel like in the past 2 years there is really an explosion, look at this channel : http://www.youtube.com/user/LOENENT#p/u. There is so much it's impossible to track...

My interest on K-pop have grown over the last month, i had just a few songs on my computer before. It's just incredible how massive the production actually is. It's like bollywood, an endless stream of new groups and songs, when did this occur ?

Today i tested the bees wax Audeze provides for woodcare on the leather. I applied the wax and it was absorbed within few hours. No odor remained. However there were white traces left, maybe due to the fact i didnt preemptively cleaned them from "dirt". Previously i used a leather cleaner and...

i used to have JBL 4345 in my house. I was too young and knowing nothing about audio i thought they sounded "acceptable". Apparently they were very good speakers but how do they compare to the ones you guys are talking about like quads or magnepans, 800D,etc.. ? I'm probably going speakers in...

Going from the 2xOPA627AU (jtam's website) to the 2xAD797ANZ, running both with the a-biasing mod here are my impressions :   -vocal sound less pronounced ---> midrange less forward (disapointing...) -accentuated separation between right and left channel (give me headache) -more details...

they still sound more neutral than 95% of the cans out here...let's keep it real.

Quote: Really ? i think a good amount of people here care about having a hi--fidelity sound.   For the dt48, two graphs can be found :   i suppose you are talking about the first one,  i don't know why both graphs are so different, if someone could explain ? Anyway i have an...

Awesome post

so should i start directly with the cmoy (before going to the mini3 ,and maybe O2) without exercing on a random board my soldering skills with chip components (like a diy kit for beginners) ?

Quote: where do you find these pcb's ? i thought of going from jds labs but the shipping refrain me (5$ pcb +6,50$ shipping). Can i make a JDS cmy from a pcb like yours ? Does people on head fi sell cmoy pcbs?

360p sq is awful go 720p :     the parrot is badass

the answer is hfi-780 and you already have it. you won't find another headphones both aproaching lcd2's SQ and meeting your criteria.

Looking for an upgrade of my m-stage. I actually have 2xOPA627AU class-a biasing mod from jtam's website. Would 2xAD797BRZ be the "best upgrade", or at least a substantial one ? Also, what is the difference between ARZ and BRZ and which one is better ?    

Quote:   please stop i'm drooling...if the audeze speakers follows the same path the lcd2 did, it's likely going to be my entering in the speaker world too...    

I know you're not obliged to do anything, and i thank you for the work done, but still, i can't help being on my hunger. You ran the dark star balanced and did not compare to an other balanced amp like let's say a b22 so i feel frustated ^^ anyway thank you for the review ;)

Quote: yes plenty of power with the +20dB gain. People usually like dt880 with tube amp to tame the brightness of the headphone, but power wise the m-stage drives it great.

I think some people here confound recessed treble with treble extension. Recessed treble means there is less amplitude (-dB) on high frequencies. If a headphones lacks treble extension it means that it goes 0dB at let's say 19kHz. Neither rev1 or rev2 LCD2's lacks treble extension since they...

Quote: I had the same problem, it takes time to find the comfortable position and adjustments. Also the pads and headband foam will need some time to break-in. Endure the pain, wether you think it's worth it or not is up to you
