    Can somebody give a comparison of the HD600 to the Shure SE530?

    I was thinking of picking up the SE530 just for something different than what I have now, but I only heard them briefly with music I wasn't familar with so, I'd like some input about how they compare to something I'm familiar with, like the HD600, K701 or Denon D2000, TF10Pro. I had the HD600...

    scratchy volume controls, how to avoid?

    I notice that some volume controls get scratchy after a while and need cleaning/servicing. Is this preventable? I am running my Micro Amp on most of the time. Should I turn down the volume after I finish using it, or keep it in the same position most of the time? BTW I just received my...

    0404 USB w/ Vista -> sound goes mute?

    I have the 0404 installed under Vista and I have this problem that it just stops working. After a while, no more sound comes out of it and I'll have to reset it. It might happen after I play some MOV files or visit a webpage with sound/flash. If I cycle the power, it becomes ok. Has anybody...

    Denon at Headroom. Cool.

    Denon Headphones at HeadRoom! Just noticed you guys carrying this line. I have to say that the D2000 jumped to the top spot on my headphone list the first 30 seconds that I heard one, and should complement your line very well....it's really a do-it-all headphone.

    Got my Dynaudio MC 15 ("the high end multimedia speaker") - review

    For a long time I was not satisfied with the sound I was getting from my computer speakers. I went through a few Logitech, Cambridge Soundworks, Creative, Altec, Klipsch "computer" speakers and they all were fine for gaming and Windows sound bites, but I decided to get serious with my computer...

    Q: Headphone amp as preamp?

    I remember reading that Tyll said that a headphone amp can be safely used as a high quality preamp. I want to do exactly that, feeding some high quality active ($1300) monitors I just bought. I have the original Micro Stack (DAC and Micro Amp), but it doesn't have a pre-out. Which gain...

    Tivoli Model One and Three at Target deal

    I was in two different Target stores in the Boston area and they were clearing out the black Model One for $59.99 and the Model Three for $99 (regularly $120 and $199 respectively) This is a great deal because these radios don't go on sale very often. I picked up one of each. They make...

    Do you cycle through hobbies?

    I have several gadget interests including cars, computers/gaming, cameras, home theater, watches and even flashlights I find I'm not really a "multitasking" hobby type of person. I usually seem drawn a lot more to any one hobby, spend all my time on it, researching, budgeting toward it, keep...

    Rank your headphones on a *value* scale

    There was another thread about ranking the headphones you own, but what I'd really like to see is how people rank their headphones on a subjective value scale. That is, perceived performance AND enjoyment of the headphone per dollar spent. Basically, the same scale that Headroom uses. Unlike...

    electrical question: do power bricks draw any power when device is off?

    I have so many things around the house that have power bricks. For example, I have a external drive enclosure that has a power brick, and to turn it on, I flick a power switch on the back of the enclosure. Is the power brick on this drawing power from the wall even though the drive enclosure is...

    AKG 601/701 in Canada, big difference in price

    I found this Canadian site which lists both the K601 and K701 as being in stock The K601 is $289 CAD which is quite a decent deal (comparable to the landed price after importing it from the USA) The K701 is $515 CAD though, with MSRP supposedly over $600! That's a $225 difference. AKG is...

    Share your learning experiences in the past year.

    As I've gained experience, there are many things that I feel differently about now since the beginning since I've joined head-fi. For instance: - I'm not really a Grado person anymore. What used to sound like exciting highs grates on me for extended listening and I'm becoming increasing...

    The Universal Dock and 5G iPod. Which case

    Are there any cases that allow the 60GB 5G iPod to be docked (universal dock) with a case still on, and using one of the adapters on the universal dock for support. I know that you can use the iPod without the adapters on the dock, but to me, that seems to place extra strain on the connector...

    Have you ever listened to a headphone again and it sounded completely different?

    I went back to listen to the original headphones that I bought when I started my headphone journey...and I was surprised how different they sounded. I listened to my HD497 which had be relegated to a desk drawer and the HD497 sounded dry, thick and tubby. I think my current assortment of...

    White earbuds? What's the big deal?

    There are so many people that seem to avoid buying white earbud headphones because they don't want to give the impression they have iPods. I personally don't care, black, white, it doesn't matter to me except the sound. Yes I've heard about the muggings, but how likely is that? Do you guys...

    How many headphones do you *actually* use?

    As I am building up my inventory of headphones, I'm finding that there are some pairs are just not getting any head time. All I really need is four pairs: one work set, one home set, one critical listening portable, one beater portable. How many pairs of headphones do you think you actually...
