Love the HE500, which I've owned a couple of months. Love it but almost immediately, the right channel started going in and out so I loosened the cable connector and the sound would correct itself. But now no sound. I see a bag of replacement connectors but I can't figure out how to replace the...

Currently, Mayo clinic is conducting an 11-month clinical trial regarding tinnitus and Magnesium levels. Looking forward to the findings. I've just begun taking Magnesium based on some positive reviews in tinnitus forums. So, I will follow along with the trial to see how I fare. Although the...

It's great with electric music. If you have a guitar amp, play this with your phone outlet, if you have one. Play this phone a little loud and then you will understand. It turns everything to rock and roll. I just heard "And You're Bird Can Sing" for the first time. I've heard it dozens of times. 

After a week with the P5, my take is very positive. Unlike my Senns and Denons, the P5 is like a speaker up against your ear. Not for everyone, to be sure. Forget soundstage, air and all that. You get the music directly to your ear and that is all.   These guys are serious rock and roll...

It took me awhile. The P5 didn't grab me at first. Then I stopped being analytical and just relaxed. Within a couple of weeks, I was a fan. There is something almost analog about the sound. It's slightly warm and accommodating yet still brings the detail. It's the first phone I like equally with...

I'm thinking a more quality phone will aid in his turning down the music to get the same buzz. When I was younger, I played music loudly because the source and phones were poor. What else can I do? He's 35. I don't need lectures. I need some advise on phones.

My son is visiting in my studio condo. He listens to heavy metal through my Koss Portapro at high volume. I can't concentrate, even when watching a hockey game the headphones are so loud.   Any recommendation on a decently-priced closed headphone especially good at isolating the sound inside...

Thank you everyone. I will give a fix from the other thread a try!

Anybody else have an issue with their Denon coming lose where the ear piece joins the headband? It looks like the metal connector of the headband just fell out of the insert on the right earcup. Yet when I try to fasten them together, they don't take. Anybody have a solution?

This has become my favourite piece of audio equipment. I thought I loved my McIntosh preamp headphone amp but the Peed is another ballgame. What bass!. What soundstage. What presence. Exciting as hell too with rock and roll.

Love the review so much I bought a basic version of the HPT. Just got it. Sounds like it could use a little burn in. Opinions?

Found this on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...MakeTrack=true "The item on auction is a new in box portable DAC with integrated headphone amplifier made by mini-audio. It uses DA-revevier chip CS8416 and D/A chip CS 45122 (24-192KHz), its the best Hi-End level D/A chip. and its...

I listened to Blue Oyster Cult's first two album package and was blown away. MFSL, when they do it right, can open up the sound and let instruments breathe. Buck Dharma's guitar on "Last Days of May" has never sounded so real. That being said, many people prefer the regular release. For...

I had an Aurum Beta and the same thing happened. I used needle-nosed pliers to slowly bend the stylus back to very close to its original position. Sounded fine after that and no unusual wear was detected in the grooves. Caveat alert. I did the same thing with another cartridge years before...

Not being technical, I can only give my impressions of the 701 in layman terms. I just bought a pair from a headfi member, who estimates about 200-300 hours play time. I've been a decade-long 580 owner, so take this with a grain of salt. With digital, I find the phones to be neutral. That is...

I've always disliked the logistics of vinyl, especially the setup of turntables and the maintenance of those finicky things. Not to mention surface noise, crackles, scratches and all the other stuff you have to put up with vinyl. When CDs came out, I celebrated them and for years was a staunch...

Thanks Larry for your even-headed and cautious observations about the CityPulse. I am extremely interested in this unit. Looking forward to any additional thoughts you have, esp. when compared to the mighty Meitner. If the 7.2 even comes close, that would do it for me.

Larry, sounds great. Photos if you can, please!!! I want to see that remote.

Took forever to receive the 2107 samples from TI. Had them in for a few days now. Dunno. Fast and clear but lacks bass. My upfront bright speakers need more mellow, methinks. Nice electric guitar sound but very little warmth to balance. Let them burn in for a few more days and get a better idea...
