Thanks all for the advice. I'll check out the Meze and Susvara sugestions. Also... I've thought about this, but aren't they rarer than hen's teeth? I guess if someone here wants to sell your set, give me a shout in DM (and I'll also keep an eye out in the Classifieds). I won't hold my...

This might be sort of off-topic(ish), but I’m thinking folks who follow this thread are the best folks to ask: I bought my PM-1’s 7 years ago after a very long (and expensive) search through the world of high-end headphones. The PM-1’s sound signature is just right for my ears. I knew that I...

These 12-years-later thread bumps are always fun. Ahh.. 2008. Such a simpler time.

Cool - added to the database.

All,   I've taken the liberty of adding all these measurements (plus my own) to a spreadsheet here:   https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gXPtdjE2YXnJ-DlhP7_Q07xbD38akd5rRar4QttfeWE/edit?usp=sharing   I will continue to update the spreadsheet as more measurements come in.   Hope...

      Just out of curiosity - is music like the above (orchestral soundtrack music from big budget action movies) considered "classical"? I've noticed that a lot of the time it tends to be mastered much edgier (more forward, compressed, and eq'd to be unnaturally "exciting") than traditional...

Hiya, I tried searching, but couldn't quite find a definitive answer... The pleather on the earpads of my 6 month old DJ1's are already hard and starting to crack. Sigh. Time to investigate velour or leather. Does anyone know if any of the velour earpads here will fit the DJ1...

Howdy all, I need help. I've searched and read the archives (rinse, repeat) and can't quite find what I'm looking for. I'm wondering what the great Head-Fi gurus recommend. I'm probably being way too picky, but here's my Wish List: 1. Low impedance (Source is a MacBook Pro, no amp - I...

Here's my fav: Rush - Grace Under Pressure

Hmm.. by genre... pop/rock Crowded House - Temple of Low Men jazz Duke Ellington - Blues in Orbit fusion Return To Forever - Romantic Warrior country Johnny Cash - At San Quentin soundtrack John Williams - Star Wars (A New Hope)

There's also a new Steve Hoffman information website that I've helped to put together (as most of you know, Steve is the mastering engineer behind all the DCC gold releases), with a fairly complete discography of what he's worked on (at DCC and elsewhere). I've found that almost everything...

I've figured it out! The difference was in the ear cushions. Specifically, the new HD600's cushions are still stiff and protrude more (as compared to my 545's cushions, which are copletely broken in and soft... less stiff, and sort of flatter as a result) therefor moving the speakers...

I really love the Steve Hoffman remastered "Endless Summer" on DCC Compact Classics. Warm and smooth. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...174672-6160606 Hmmm.. looks like they're out of stock. I think you can get it at their website though. http://www.dcccompactclassics.com/

Thanks Sneared! Question: do you have version A or B of the 11SE?

Just got my HD600's from Jan Meier two days ago, and arnett's old Creek OBH-11SE today (it arrived in MINT condition, by the way. Mr. Arnett sure takes care of his equipment!!) So I eagerly plugged everything in, dropped in Return To Forever's "Romantic Warrior" SACD - track one.. and...

I wasn't around on the old headwize forums, but I can say this: running vbulletin (which is php/mysql based) *chews* up cpu time. I run a forum elsewhere which was using ubb. I switched to vbulletin about 3 months ago because of vbulletins sexy interface and features. But unfortunatly, after...

I just read on usenet (rec.audio.opinion -- a nasty, nasty newsgroup, by the way) that Audio Advisor just went out of business. Anyone hear anything about this? I just tried the website, and nothing came up. www.audioadvisor.com

Thanks Jude! I just ordered a Szell sacd over the weekend... (Rossini, Auber, Berlioz). I'll let you know how it sounds. Oh - and I hear ya about older recordings. I grew up listening to my dad's classical and jazz (mostly big band) LP collection, and there's nothing like those early...
