    V700 gone... :( Assistance pls

    My GF has taken permanent posession of the MDR-V700. This was a non-negotiable deal I'm therefore considering buying another one. Or rather, I played with the idea for a couple of minutes but thought why not look at other phones first? After all, you guys out there are forever telling me...

    About headphone recommendation

    Maybe I'm doing something strange. See, because I don't, honestly, deliberately go out to present an anti-forum majority opinion as far as headphone recommendations are concerned. It's just that I have no qualms about presenting said opinions when I think otherwise - and I can back them up...

    Tuberolling...

    Er, so "Tuberolling" is swapping tubes to find the optimal balance of sound? Is that it or have I missed something...?

    Taming Bass?

    I have an Altec Lansing ACS33 that I sometimes use with laptops. The thing is though, everything, and I do mean everything, comes out with enormous bass. Is there any way to tame the bass on this unit? Mods? Tweaks? Hammer? It has no tone or bass controls...

    EarMax Pro v Naim Headline & other matters

    Hiya folks. I currently have a Naim Headline amp connected to a Grado SR225 at home. This is, as far as I can make out, connected to a Flatcap 2 power supply. I also have a Hicap power supply, and I've been meaning to ask the dealer how these are connected, but hey whatever. Due to the...

    I don't know what I'm doing here...

    I'm a rather puzzled owner of a well-used but relatively immaculate DT250-80. I'd actually borrowed it from the owner to review it, but he took a listen to some of my phones and decided to get rid of the 250 and buy an HD280 about 30 seconds after he'd heard them. (He used the DT250 for...

    Wondering how much interest there would be...

    In a shootout between the Sennheiser HD280 Pro, Beyerdynamic DT250-80, and the Sony MDR-7506, with a couple of curveballs - the Sony Eggo Pro MDR-D66SL and the Technics RP-DJ1200A - thrown in. I don't think anyone's done a direct comparison of the three, have they? Most of the commends I've...

    Detecting clipping in digital recordings?

    In addition to my last post in here, I have another problem. A couple of days ago was the first time ever that I've tried to upload a track from my minidisc deck with near-peak volume levels. And I'm almost certain I'm getting clipping. The question is, how do you prove it's clipping and...

    All-in-one record-edit-catalog-burn proggy?

    Hi Folks I need some recommendations regarding audio editing / burning / organising software. I've been doing quite a bit of Minidisc recording recently, and the situations come to something of a head. What I typically do is the following: Upload from a deck in digital using CDWAVE...

    So you don't get to tag yourself?

    I've noticed that there's nowhere to add a custom tag on this board. Does this mean that the almighty mods anoint you with a title after 500 or so posts? If so, does mine have "butt" and "pain" on it?

    Mods for RP-FDA100?

    Has anyone attempted a mod to bring up the bass presence on a Technics RP-FDA100 withut changing the overall character of the sound?

    ER-4P fit question

    So I've got two plans at the moment: Sell the SR225 and get an RS-1 or Keep the SR225 and get an ER-4P with the impedance cable. My curiousity is never going to see the light of day with the attention lavished on the ER-4. I HATE canalphones. I bought an EX70 to see how much I could...

    SR225 -> RS2? Others?

    Well, I think it's time for me to explore the higher end in phones, now I have a decent headphone amp. I'm really, really, really (need I say more) pleased with the SR225 + my current setup combo. I went in to the shop to ask about the HDJ-1000 avaiability, and they happened to dangle an RS2...

    Short comment on Technics RP-FDA100 / Panasonic RP-HDA100

    I thought I'd just mention a word about the RP-FDA100 since noone else seems to have on this board to date. I'm no longer into doing long, rambling reviews so here it is: Looks: Need I say more - it is arguably the most stunning headphone on the market at this time. Here's a Pic...

    Eggo vs other similar phones Question

    How much noise do the Eggos (D22 I would be referring to) block? And what is the quality of the sound like? Reason is, I'm looking to replace all of my gaming PC's phones. I polled the guys who come around to my house for the occasional gaming sesh, and it turns out they don't like the...

    D25 obsession... What gives?

    Someone was going on about the D25 on another board, and I just thought: Bearing in mind that these aren't exactly portable units, I'm presuming most of you D25 and other 'legendary' PCDP owners use'em at home in a fixed location. In which case, why not just buy an older CD deck with a...

    Oh yes, amassed another headphone...

    MY sig can't keep up with the changes I'm making these days. Hopefully I can settle down to a few choices soon. In addition to the Beyer HD250-80 which arrived a few days ago - but I haven't even got round to opening the box yet - I have a Technics RP-FDA100. Yes, those anime-look...

    Senn HD497/212 - SL cables?

    Since the cables detach on these units, does anyone know if Sennheiser sell a shorter variant of the cable for portable use?

    Mix MP3 with hardware device?

    I'm kinda liking the idea of mixing using MP3's. The software I've seen will do the job, but the interface won't - there's no way you're going to be able to mix successfully using a mouse! Anyone know of a hardware/software combo that duplicates a typical mixing setup, but with enhancements for...

    I have a headphone doppelganger...well almost

    You know, I spend far too much time here... I was even VPN'ing in to my home server to access the site on my way back home. How sad is that? Very. Anyway, there's this oriental bloke I see every now and again at the station I change at. He's always got these ultra-flashy mountain bikes...

    Treble-Bass balance in Japanese

    A Japanese friend told me this, I thought it was interesting at least... Apparently the slang for 'Treble / Bass' balance in a headphone or speaker is referred to as "Don-Shari". Don-Don is the onomatopoeia for 'boom' as in a drum. and Shari-Shari is the onomatopoeia for 'chikka' as in a...

    Can you say Princess Leia?

    Well folks - got the ATH-A9X. At last. I haven't had the chance to listen to it really as I was at work yesterday, but oh my god... my girlfriend was right, they do look like shiny buns... Arrrrgh Not entirely happy with the sound either 'out of the box'. I'm going to reserve judgement...
