the OP gets tons of help from people yet refuses to take 5 seconds out of his life to change the title to include the budget, which not only would help him, but it would help others giving him advice. i had it happen to me (and i barely got 1/10 of the replies you got), and i made sure to change...

m50, a500, hd555, and hd595 shouldn't have even been on the poll

why does the ad700 have more votes then the ad900?

Quote: ok i changed the title, but i think the other guy already lectured me just fine!? i need to know if A. it truly is possible to get stax lambdas 4-500 bucks, B. if it is really true that the ad900 doesn't have as good of soundstage as the ad700 (best answer probably from someone...

Quote: lol you're not very fond of common sense are you?

Quote: these are 1700 bucks on ebay...

Quote: Nice they sound pretty sick, just having an issue finding them in google shopping/ebay. I'm searching under "Stax Lambda" and by the way what is a good amp for it?  

Quote: WINNER lol we have a winner. If this is true you saved me some serious cash, I'll be looking into this. (It definitely makes sense because I haven't seen a pair of, (none headset), headphones recommended more for gaming then the ad700). Wow would it feel good to pay less and get more.

Quote: So would the AD900 be upgrades from the AD700 or would they lack anything from their predecessor?!

Quote: ah useful info. like your setup in your sig too haha.

Any audiophile gamers out there?

On the search for the best gaming headphones. Cans that will practically let me play with my eyes closed. So far the best soundstage/gaming performance pair I've seen is the ATH-AD900. If there's anything better (maybe it could end up being cheaper too who knows), please post it. Please make...

Oh and another idea, would there be anything wrong with just getting the Ear Force DSS? Wouldn't it act as it's own soundcard so I could keep my onboard on to hook up my 5.1 speakers (X-540s won't need a dedicated soundcard really) and use the ATH-AD900 along with it for pc gaming, then use the...

Quote: You are seriously the man. I'll get the ATH-AD900+Auzentech Forte 7.1 (based on CMSS3D beating Dolby Digital Surround right?) just wanted to make sure you've tried both cards. Don't want to doubt you but I just want to be sure. I really like this plan though as I've pretty much...

If I don't add this bump I'd be at about page 3 by tonight. NO idea what is going on.

Quote: wow thats insane, would the "best" of the dt880 be something that makes me go deaf or how much more would the next usb amp/dac combo cost??  

halfway till page 2 with no response...

Come on, am I at a good budget yet, would I want to save up some more or would I hit diminishing returns?? I came here cuz I don't wanna talk to myself anymore+I don't know any audiophiles!!!! Any help appreciated I'm insta-subscribed and I wanna join the audiophile club, but I give myself such...

Almost the next day, anyone out there?!

I've decided to wait for another paycheck to come through before I pull any triggers. At $540, I want the best headphone experience for 3d immersion in action movies (blu-ray quality), 3d immersion in games (Bad Company 2 for example), great sounding pump up music (hip hop, rock and that sort of...

so what do you think?!

Anyone know?

Is there a good reason to get the Musiland 02 over the 01 for powering the Beyerdynamic DT 880 600 ohms?

Quote: I'm using the PC as my source for sound, and since I only have onboard I decided that I should get a high quality dedicated sound source. I was looking at gaming soundcards (mainly creative xifi), but realized that I can get the same and better from Asus, especially with the Xonar...

I can get the Beyer DT 990 (600 ohm version), for $229.95, paired with the Musiland Monitor 02 for $122.99. Can I beat the value of this combo for my situation (budget is $360).
