    Help troubleshooting my HD 650s!!!

    Help troubleshooting my HD 650s!!!

    So as I quickly snapped my head around to check the door, the sound from the right side of my HD 650s went out. I kinda gave my head a wiggle and the sound came back for an instant, died again, and has been dead ever since. I opened them up to check the driver for hair or anything that shouldn't...

    Just listened to some Fostex T50RPs today... WOW!

    That's a bit disheartening. I was hoping to give these to a friend after I fixed them up, but I can't let them go as they are :(   I suppose I can just buy another pair but I'm not sure if it's even worth it anymore...     Also, I get fatigued pretty fast with these in comparison to my...

    Just listened to some Fostex T50RPs today... WOW!

    IIRC, the imbalance was there before the mods (I've had them for two years before finally finishing the mod last weekend so I could be wrong). I always thought it was the cable and poor quality connectors that would be fixed with deoxit so I kinda brushed it off. But i just got my deoxit today...

    Just listened to some Fostex T50RPs today... WOW!

    So I finally finished a few simple mods (shure 840 pads, fatmat+paxmate+cotton in the cups, plasticine in the baffle/driver holes with paxmate on top), but I'm having a problem with channel imbalance. I tried Deoxit but that hasn't solved it either. The left cup is just louder (volume wise)...

    DAC upgrade from E7 for Schiit Asgard + HD650

    Quote: Fantastic. Imo, the modi/asgard combo is at the peak of price/performance. Great value for your money. Yes you can squeeze more out of the 650s, but it will cost you.

    Flawless albums

    Quote:   Huge Trivium fan here as well. Shogun is fantastic, In Waves is also a solid album, but Ascendancy just reigns supreme imo. Have a problem with a few tracks on In Waves that I just cant get over for it to be a perfect album.  Glad to see them in this thread nonetheless.

    Pure Trance - All Day Everyday

    For sure man, ******* great tune, glad you enjoy it as well.   I totally agree with you about Oakenfold and Tiesto. I saw Tiesto in 07 and it was one of the best livesets ever. But he hasnt put out a good album in years .  I saw Oakenfold at coachella a few weeks ago and was sorely...

    Paradox and Mad Dog Comparison

    Great review. Curious to see how you would compare a BMF pair to these.

    DAC upgrade from E7 for Schiit Asgard + HD650

    Quote: wait why did you order a Magni if you already got an Asgard? Or did you mean you got the Modi, not Magni? If thats the case I'm dying to know how you think, I have the 650 +asgard and I'm looking for a DAC. Going to get the ODAC or modi, not sure though yet...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    Quote:     If I've taken anything away from the various arguements across the boards on the effectiveness of aftermarket cables, it's that all they do are make your listening experience slightly more convenient and make the headphones look more aesthetically pleasing.  You shouldn't...

    Time to upgrade: HE-400 vs Schiit Bifrost

    gonna echo the others that recommended you to get an affordable dac (odac, modi), and save up for better headphones.  spending the money on the bitfrost isn't as efficient in terms of price/performance as cheaper dac more expensive headphones. gonna back that up with some of Uncle Erik's wisdom...

    Best amp for HD 650's ($250 budget)

    Quote:   Quote:     Very nice indeed.  Month and a half into the pair I'm still loving them just as much as I did the first week I put them on. Scratch that, I love them even more now... they really have exceeded my expectations.  The asgard is my first real amp mind you, so I've...

    Which should i buy? (Please help me)

    id say 65% of my listening is electronic music and I've been completely satisfied with hd25s. definitely not a bass heavy headphone, but they still sound great, not thin or anything.  bass is just more punchy than booming and deep.  if EQing is an option for you, however they do sound great EQd...

    This Schiit is Bananas! $99 Schiit Magni Amp and $99 Modi DAC

    Quote:   Anyone else have any comparisons, or plan on doing one? Just bought an asgard last month, trying to decide on a DAC.  Was planning on the ODAC but now with the Modi out I'm unsure what's the better option.  I'm a huge fan of schiit aesthetics though so that might just be the...

    Which should i buy? (Please help me)

    Havent owned or heard the vmodas so I can't directly compare the two, but I can give you some insight on the HD 25s I own and love.  Easy to drive straight out of an ipod/iphone/etc, sound great with all types of music, extremely durable, great isolation.  I want to emphasize how durable these...

    Flawless albums

    Quote:   Great response metal, but I'm not so sure you can compare movies with music like that.  Movies are about telling a story or getting across some sort of moral or message.  I understand the concept of an album as a holistic entity and not just a string of independent songs that...
