for years Turbo provided us with wonderful 30 pin square flat cubes with a female mini to connect to a male mini/2 rca cables to play the Ipod through a stereo. The older Nanos worked fine with Turbo's product. My first generation Ipods were part of the Apple recall and replaced with 6...

This post is #2,000 for me. In the time that has elapsed since #1, I have been educated, entertained and illuminated by these forums. I have made numerous friends, some of which are quite close. I have been a part of many, many gear swaps, affording me the opportunity of spending time with...

Has anyone heard from Dex Dexter (of Ultrasone thread fame)? He was a constant contributor to Headfi and turned many of us on to Ultrasone. He stopped posting about a month ago and I was wondering if anyone had heard from him.

I just received a confirmation from Audiocubes for my Denon headphones. The confirmation contained what appeared to be a USPS tracking #. On the USPS website, there is no record of this #. Any ideas?

I placed an order with J&R for a pair of D2000 Denon headphones. Their price matched Audiocubes and it is local for me. Unfortunately, they have not received their first shipment and do not expect them until early-mid September. Does anyone have a source that is quicker? I am wondering if Denon...

My son is finally heading out to college and needs a "portable" amp to run out of Mac/Audigy2zs to this amp to either Ultrasone 2500s or SF 5 pros. I currently own the Xenos and am debating giving him that or purchasing the new Corda Move for him. Any thoughts?

I am in Dallas for a 4 day buying trip for our showrooms. Needless to say, I had to leave the 650s, 701s and Heed back in NY. I have to admit, I feel a sadness not having my "stuff" at my beckoned call. It seems like a drug withdrawal (depression, restlessness etc). This is not healthy!

Within reason, what is the next step up from Headroom's Microdac? It would be combined with a Heed Canamp and HD650s or 701s.

I am trying to upload some digital pictures of a new Xenos amp in the Amp forums. I am limited to 25.0KB. When I try to downsize to that size the pictures look ridiculous. I see on lots of posts in these forums beautiful photos that are full size. What am I doing wrong? I have been told to...

I just received the new Xenos amp. Out of the box the build quality is superlative (the case is actually metal!). It has a new (to me) Stereo Field Simulator which controls the amp's stereo channels. It simulates a live stereo listening environment as if stereo speakers were placed in a room 4...

I currently use a Heed Canamp with AKG 701s (with a Headroom Microdac). It is a potent combo. I have always kicked around adding a pair of Sennheiser 650s for a little contrast. Anybody with experience with the Heed and the 650s?

I am burning in a pair of EH 350 headphones for my parents. I am more used to the length of burn in on 701s etc. How long is appropriate for this level of headphone? I want to make sure it is optimized when I give it to him (He's 87)

Is the Meier Headfive a USB interface? The picture on the original post looks as if it is 2/RCA from a mini. A forum member just pm'd me that it was a USB.

I need some advise: Both parents are in their mid-80s and love music and their ipods. I want to upgrade their headphones but they do not like IEMs due, in part to their age. I am looking for a good set for each but nothing like my 701s which they would find way too large and never use. Something...

Any word on a new headphone release along the lines of AKG 701s. I love my 701s but was wondering when the next FOTM was coming down the pipleline

does any one know the physical dimensions of this amp? Length, width and height?

Has anyone upgraded their Microamp desktop module from '05 to the new '06? What was the percentage of improvement?

while my Microamp is in the shop, I was wondering if the GoVibe5 that has already left Canada and is on its way, would be a good combo in the interim. I realize no one has heard the GV5 but on its spec someone might have an opinion. Slow day in August I guess

I am considering an amp change. I currently have a Microstack which together works well with my 701s. The amp as a standalone gets some criticism as lifeless in these forums. Sometimes I disconnect the Stack and use the amp alone when needing portability with a Ipod. Any suggestions about a...

if you want to rediscover and really enjoy your current headphones, take 2-3 days off from listening. I did this, went back to the K701s I love and it was fresh all over again. I suspect its not bad for your hearing loss either.

what is the average length of battery life (2 9v. non rechargeable) on a Headroom Microstack? I seem to be getting between 6-8 hrs.

I realize that the honeymoon on any FOTM headphone will come to an end. What troubles me is this sudden backlash against the K701. Half the people coming down harshly on it are not even owners and may have heard them briefly in a meet. There seems to be some sickly delight in bashing the current...

there have been some threads recently debunking the burn in of K701s. I just reached 500 hours with mine, 300 burning in and 200 at play. At about 450 hrs. the headphone completely changed. The bass has blossomed beyond my expectation (coming from a Microstack). These cans out of the box were...

I am at the magical 300 hr burn in mark with my new AKG 701s. I have noticed a marked change since day1. I suddenly feel a bit uncertain at ending the burn in. I may be just wasting valuable listening time by continuing or missing some developments I have read need 450 hrs to emerge. Any...

I am finally the brink of my long burn in. I am thrilled with the clarity and soundstage. The detail is so clear it is alarming through my Microstack. The bass is still not there. Is the next 60 hrs going to resolve the bass issue. I am so pleased with these cans. I thought I was in love with...
