Great documentary noblemff!!!, the phrase who makes a summary is this one: "looking at a Van Gogh through filter glasses". :D . On the other hand I don't care about Clari-Fi Ad., because we love a good recording well reproduced.

I forgot you like bassy music, easy also, Orff Carmina Burana and Tchaikovsky overture 1812 are dramatically picky on the "real bass extensions" for headphones in my experience, look for those in your repertoire, are easy to find. Too many non real bass sound in recordings today. Classical Cello...

Pippup, so far you are in the digital recordings world, my advice is make your "Dream Team" of well recorded music, don't try only with the music you like. Easy is if you go 80's and 90's on original CDs, or any DSD recording. Streaming is a good option but you need to train your ears first if...

Pippup, is your Burn-In Process done?. If this is positive: Specifically, what is the difference in the sound for you? :floatsmile:

Pippup, as a rule Burn-In time for any headphone to reach maximum performance is 300 hours at least. I know it sounds ridiculous but this is true. Be patient in the meanwhile and use those 300 hours to SELECT MUSIC TO PLAY ON YOUR BURNED-IN HEADPHONES, is a very good exercise for you. No so loud...

Mine is a Pioneer SA 8800 integrated amplifier, for digital discs I use Sony BDP-s580 (I will upgrade to OPPO player soon) and for LPs (vinyls for the youngers here) a Marantz TT-15s1 turntable with a MM Clearaudio Cartridge. For my Beyerdynamic 880 250Ohm is absolutely fantastic!, and for my...

Chris J: like us, everybody is looking for the best headphones gear here as " the goal". Technically most of us are not engineers but talking about physics to understand DISTORTION BASIS we need to know about superimposed voltages, balanced and unbalanced bridged circuits, current, bias (AC/DC)...

This is a good explanation to understand also the distortion basis. I just found it in my all life favorite magazine (HiFi Stereo Review-Stereo Review-Stereo Review Sound and Vision Magazine) Sound and Vision Magazine...

I agree with BotByte: start with low Imp headphones straight from your MP3 Player for example and later buy mid or high Imp ones for using a headphone Amp. Reviews are subjected to music tastes and quality of the sources. A simple solution is borrow from someone else one of each one and use them...

12345142: I think you do not understand me, music is like food, one likes sour, another person spicy and etc. I owned before many different phones, I love vinyls, open reel tapes, cassettes and live music. I tried to share my experience in a non theoretical way, this is what I "tasted". This...

gpk5003, for that kind of music taste you can not find a unique headphone but I will recommend to you the Denon AH-D5000, great development of percussion and strings, voices really clear and great bass response. For dupstep/modern, believe it or not, I can tell you the in ear phones MONSTER...

You will do GREAT with any headphones between 30 to 55a ohms as a limit using your Mac...Pro as a unique source. My brother and I use the Beyerdynamic dt770pro 32ohms version with those equipments. For NON-POPULAR MUSIC I have my old AKG 240 Studio Monitor (55 ohms) MADE IN AUSTRIA, please do...
