I'm selling one Octavart Champs-élysées integrated DAC-AMP in great condition. Perhaps not very well-known in the NA headphone forums, but this integrated DAC-AMP is very well received in the Chinese forum. It has Bluetooth, USB, co-axial, and optical input, and can also be used as a...

I'm selling one Hifiman Arya in mint condition. The headphone was bought in January 2021. The reason for sale is that it's been sitting inside the box since it was purchased, and I have too many headphones that I can listen to, so this one never gets much attention. Comes with the headphone...

Brian helped me with a cable re-termination job on a stock Sennheiser HD650 cable. He promptly finished the work and mailed the cable to me very quickly. The job is impeccable! Highly recommended!

Nice setup. You won't be disappointed with the 407.   I've been thinking about getting a 507 for a long time ... The one thing that prevents me from getting it is that the treble is still a little too bright to me.   Just audit the 507 and 009 at Yama Inc. I think I am now officially...

Hey guys,    I have one 450 for sale, in case anyone is interested. Thanks.    - P

In case anyone is interested, I have one DP_I for sale in Con US. 

I recently tried the GMP 8.35 and GMP 450 Pro, and was totally blown away. I really don't understand why a company that makes such good headphone is not making any noise in the audiophile community.   Among the two, I prefer the 8.35 since I can modify it to use in my portable rig. Such...

So basically you tried to damp the peak in the higher frequency range, right? I think that makes the headphone less fatigue when listening.   My only complain about the GMP 450 Pro is that it's treble is still too bright for me. Maybe my only choice of headphone is HD650.   Quote:  

Hey guys, Do you know what model is the adapter on the headphone earcup of AKG 240 MK II, which makes it easy for the headphone to change cable? Is it a mini-XLR male adapter? Thank you.

Thanks for the comments! Been reading a lot about the GMP 8.35 lately. The only issue is I hear people saying that they have a similar sound sig to K271.   I think I have good ears, but I'm never a picky guy. So the fact that I don't like the K271 really confuses me a little. Maybe the...

That's a very nice thread you are refering to, svyr. Thank you!   Please keep us posted with your experiments.   Quote:  

Just got the D7000, and spent a little time with it. Truly a very good headphone for classical music. Really sad that I'll need to part with them soon.   How about GMP 450 Pro? From what I read they seem to be perfect for classical music. Although they are designed to be used in the...

I'm not so sure about the ATH series. I heard they are good for vocal work, female voice, etc...But they seem to be a little too colored for classical music playback. Anyone agrees?   I'm currently using AKG K271 MKII, but, I keep thinking the high frequency of this headphone is a little too...

Hi all,   I know there are other threads dedicated to "closed headphone" for "classical music", yet I still hope to suck you all into this thread. So,   Which is the best headphone (and the whole system built upon it) for classical music, provided that it will not disturb people around...

It looks like the domain is expiring and needs to be renewed? I've been trying since yesterday evening, but with no luck.

Quote: @spritzer: Cool! That's great information! I saw an ad you posted back in 2002, selling a HE60 that you built from parts. What a nice headphone! Do you mind sharing more details about that project? I learned that you mod the headphone to improve the sound quality.   Btw, with...

That's great! How much is the housing of HE60? Did you also buy the driver units? Looks like we can make one from all the parts?

Quote: That's true. I know APureSound (APS) can do the recable, and there are several other vendors that can make HE60->STAX adapter. But the adapter is still very difficult to find. APS has good reputation; however, they seems to be in a slow mode these days...I kept hearing people...

  Quote:   Great comments! So the best amp that's currently available for the HE60, is the BHSE?

Quote: I don't know whether it is possible to do a fair A/B between HE60 and O2. O2 are still in production, and attracts most of the attention from after-market vendors, and DIYers. BHSE, KGSS, along with a full production line of STAX amps are available to drive O2. In the meanwhile...

Quote: I know there are many experienced Head-fiers who compared (even A/B) them before. I hope they can share their comments here.   I'll post my impression when I spend sufficient time with the combo.  

Quote: I think HE60/HEV70 combo sells at $1400 - $2500 USD these days, and the price is still going up.   As for the parts and refurbishment, I was lucky to get help from another fellow Head-fier (thank you, CodeScripted). One can order parts from Sennheiser USA, and can send the...

Hey guys,     I searched Head-fi, and didn't find a thread dedicated to HE60 (though I found scattered discussions on various sub-forums; please let me know if there is one dedicated thread already), so I think I'll start one here. I'm still waiting for the HE60/HEV70 that is now being...

Quote: I'm wondering where can one find the place to buy the replacement? It's not the same pads as the HD6XX, right?

IMHO, VIII is better for the high impedance headphone, like HD600, 650, 800. VI+ has to make conpromise between both high and low impedance, while VIII is devoted to high impedance.   VI+ has to output more power in order to drive the K1000, since it has a relatively low impedance of 120...
