I am replacing some aging audiotechnica A900s that I bought around Christmas of 2005.  My source is an Edirol ua-25.   Overall, the A900 was a great headphone and great introduction to the audiophile world.  I have no regrets buying it and have recommended it to other people looking for...

I am specifically looking for a dac/amp combo that also records. I am using an aging set of audio technica a900s. I want whatever I buy to be able to power a more power hungry set in about 6 months or a year. I am most concerned about recording quality. I am planning on using a single mic...

I am a relatively lo-fi lurker on these boards. I currently own an A900 as my only nice piece of equipment, and have had it since last january. I realized I didn't need another upgrade for two reasons: I never listen to the same piece twice and after thirty seconds I didn't notice the difference...

I am a relatively low-fi lurker on these boards. Last december, I bought the A900 for my first and only audiophile purchase. I have considered buying a decent sound card or a small portable amp but I have never made a purchase. My big problem with sound cards is that I currently use a shuttle...

I am a student at a music school and a friend just got an older model 20 gig iriver. The menues were navigated by a joystick rather than 4 buttons. I believe that model name was the iHP-120. I found it very interesting because it could function as a recorder and transfer to a computer was very...

I am a student at a music school. My quartet just recorded some music onto a minidisc player. I was wondering if there is a digital way to go from minidisc to computer. In the past, I have connected the mini disk player to the line in on my computer and that has worked ok. I am not expecting...

I got the A900 as a christmas gift and have listened to them for almost all of my musaic and movies since them. For the most part I like it but I am somewhat dissapointed with several aspects of the headphone. Hopefully most of the placebo effects of the new headphones are gone now. My first...

Buying headphones tomorow. I wrote a post on this a few weeks ago but it seems to have dissapeared - Will be spending about $200. Note that this is already a stretch so 600/650 other more expensive cans aren't even in consideration. - Soundstage is very important. 50% of the time I will...

I have been lurking on this board for a while and am planning on making a purchase soon. I am focusing on headphones with price around $200 that can be driven without an amp. I am looking for a very specific set of qualities in headphones and would like some advice on what to buy. I am an...

I am an undergraduate euphonium student at a music school. For those that don't know, a euphonium looks like a small tuba and plays in the range of a trombone. I will primarily be using headphones when recording practice sessions on a minidisc player and listening to recordings on a computer. I...
