After having bought the Cavalli Liquid Carbon for my MrSpeakers ETHER Flow and the amp unfortunately having been defective (volume pot issues), I decided to get a refund and go with another setup. Not because I didn't trust Cavalli to do an impeccable repair job, but because I merely didn't want...

Hello! I've recently been reading a lot about the Ether Flow headphones and decided to go for them as my potential end-game setup. Now I'm looking for a decent amp around the 1.000 pound price point to match them. I'd be running this amp fully balanced out of my Wyred 4 DAC LE.   The...

Hey guys,   After a lot of deciding between the various tube amps that were suggested to me, I bought an AT-HA5000. :p I thought I might as well get an amp to fit the W5k, since my HD650 already sound brilliantly with my Corda Symphony. The tubes are once again on the back burner.   So now...

Hello everyone.   I recently acquired an almost brand new ATH-W5000 (which hasn't arrived yet, so I can't speak to its sound) for the staggering sum of 480 pounds. I'm very much looking forward to trying it.   My current inventory includes the following headphones: Focal Spirit Classic...

Hey guys,   I recently got myself a new gaming PC for my little gaming room, and the fan noise is a bit of an issue. Since I'm very paranoid about temps, I tweaked my afterburner fan profile in a way that my overclocked GPU does not exceed 75°C, however this pushes my fan speed to about 70%...

It's been a long time since I've been active in these forums, and I sold every audio component I owned throughout the years. I'm looking to get back into it now with an HD650 and a suitable amp, probably a decent meier one as I have some experience with those.   My source used to be an...

Hello guys, been a while since I last posted something, and the following is rather silly. Quite the comeback. Anyways, I wanted to know whether one hears a guitaramp's speaker when using the headphone out, it would even be better if the volumes of both, speaker and headphone out could be...

I need a new headphone for skyping/gaming and such (maybe movies and music as well), so first of all it has to have a microphone on it. The quality doesn't have to be super, but it wouldn't hurt if it was OK. My budget is around under 50€. Sturdiness and comfort would be important as...

I thought it might be interesting to share something with you, a very shallow article about the K701 from AKG, the HD600 from Sennheiser, and the DT880 from Beyerdynamic. I don't have a scanner so I just made a picture of it, it's only one page, and it's in german, but it's really nothing worth...

I'm still pretty new to the headphone world, at least I'd think so, with having the K701 for only about a month and a half, and the CD3000 only for a few days, but I wanted to share my impressions of both headphones, since I've been listening a lot to the CD3000 at least during the last few...

I've been using the K701 as my main headphone for about a month or so now, and I'm satisfied with the sound it has to offer. It has been well burned in for about 400 hours, and it's a solid performer out of my rig, seems to be doing well with the Aria amp in general with a lot of people anyways...

I've searched and haven't found a specific collective headphone wallpaper thread as of yet, but I'm interested in seeing and showing some potential headphone (or audio gear?) wallpapers that are preferably self-made. And I'd like to add that higher res pics would be best. (1280x960 and up) I...

So I went to a generalist doctor today because I felt some pressure in both my ears, and sometimes I have a ringing coming from the right one, he told me it had something to do with a cold after checking my ears, and that there was nothing wrong with them...well anyways... I told him that I...

So I started out with a very decent (at least to my ears) AKG K701, and I like it very much. I then bought the HF-1, and I love seeing how different headphones actually can be. I never thought that there'd actually be such a huge difference. The K701 loses when it comes to bass quantity...

My Aria isn't even here for 2 weeks and I'm already plotting my next step. Well I WILL keep the Aria though, as I think that it's an excellent product, I just want to see how much an Amp can actually improve my headphones. So I'm looking for something to drive my K701, and I was thinking...

So I've been enjoying my new headphone setup quite a lot over the last couple of days, and I'm really happy with it. Thank you head-fi! Sound is much more revealing and enjoyable than with my speakers, which is why I completely went to heaphones for music and I'm using the speakers exclusively...

Today a friend of mine and I wanted to try the new rockbox firmware upgrade for a 4G IPod, and while I had it, I thought I could do some tests with it over my new AKG K701 (this can has seen around 20 hours of usage). The results I (and my non-audiophile friend) found freaked me out. Since...

Ok, so I was a bit bored right now, and wanted to improve my soundquality with foobar. I use an M-audio Transit into a bel canto DAC2, meaning that I could at least take some inspiration of the following: http://www.empiricalaudio.com/frComputer_Audio.html (scroll down to the very bottom, then...

After a 1 and a half year head-fi membership I finally ordered my very first headphone setup today! What it is? Well...I'll revive this thread next week by posting pictures in it. It cost me around 800€ including RCA-to-RCA ICs. (headphone amp and headphones) EDIT: Little update...

So here I was, always thinking that the DT990 was in fact the "flagship" of the hifi Beyerdynamic cans, as it's the most expensive one, or so I thought. I was looking around and found the following: Meier-audio: DT880 €225,- / $270,- DT990 €250,- / $300 outside European Community...

So, I wanted to buy a pair of B&W rear speakers, namely the 601, for my HT. And I got a great deal on used ones on eBay. Look what I got: Pic 1 Pic 2 How it should look like. (The other one) Yea...one of them is damaged obviously. The tweeter has fallen inside of the box. I already...

Hello, I've been using a ROTEL RCD-02 for quite some time now, in combination with the bel canto DAC 2 that is, and I wondered whether changing this player with a Denon DVD-2910, for redbook playback among other things, would make a difference in quality one way or another. I'm quite aware...

Hello, I'm putting together a new HT system and I was wondering some things considering the Denon AVR-2106 Receiver that I wanted to get. I'm currently using a Rotel RC-03 & RB-03 Preamp & amp combo, and I wanted to know whether I could use the denon as preamp, with the same quality that I...
