Can I use full-size & portable amps together?
I am thinking of getting this cheap DAC/ headphone amp combo but I want to know if I can also use my Fiio E6 with it as well for basic eq settings? http://www.cypeurope.com/Audience/AU-D3-H-Digital-Audio-Converter-with-Stereo-Headphone-Output-DAC.html Can I do this or is it a bad idea?- Cieran

150mW vs 200mW - will I notice much difference?
Thanks for the replies Mike & Wilky. I will probably be using my Senn PX100's or JVC flats for watching movies/concerts via my TV's S/PDIF (which I am assuming is the same as optical) I guess it is a straight choice between using a combined CYP DAC/amp which makes thing simple and...- Cieran

150mW vs 200mW - will I notice much difference?
Ok I taking my first tentative steps into the world of headphone amps and DAC's and I am on an extremely tight budget. What I am looking to do is to use a DAC with my TV for watching films and concerts etc... and then use a portable amp to boost the signal. However I am undecided whether...- Cieran

Fiberloft / polyester wool (sound dampening mods) - bring out the highs, mids, or lows? Confused!
I've been reading up on this recently after modding my Creative Aurvana Lives and I can only find conflicting information. Some people say using it will dampen the high frequencies making a smoother & softer sound, while others say it will bring out the mids and highs? I am a...- Cieran

XL Comply tips - or something similar?
Recently bought a S/M/L pack of T400 Comply tips to test them out and find which size fits me best. However as much as they improved isolation I still found that even the largest size didn't make a complete seal in my canal (I blame my larger than average ears - they didn't call me spock in...- Cieran

Really want to get this done but I don't have the skills/ don't trust myself to do it without messing it up. Is there anywhere in the UK that I could get this done? Thanks for any help with this.- Cieran

Something between PX100's and Creative Aurvana Live!?
Does anything like this exist? I currently own both and love the bass heavy guilty pleasure that is the PX100's but I also appreciate the larger, more detailed & refined sound of the CAL's. I've seen the following mentioned as possible alternatives in my extensive research..... ...- Cieran

Anyone know where I can buy spare/replacement memory foam ear pads?
The earpads on my JVC's are fine but I just find them a little uncomfortable and fiddly to sit right on your ear. What I was looking to do was get some better earpads to put on the JVC's and whenever they eventually break, I can buy another pair of JVC's and swap the earpads onto this new one. I...- Cieran

On-ear closed cup, open back headphones....
Yeah I guess although I was kinda hoping for something a bit more sturdy and bigger if possible. Presumably I could do the same sort of mod with my px100's? Where would I get those sort of cups from?- Cieran

AKG K141 Review and Appreciation Thread
How do these compare to PX100-ii's? I know they are different leagues but the Senn's were my first foray into decent headphones and I love their signature. However I now find myself wanting a bigger sound and a bit more oomph while retaining a smooth & laid back signature. I also found...- Cieran

How does AKG K141 sound signature compare to Senn PX100-ii's......
Thinking of upgrading from my Sennheiser PX100-ii's and the AKG K144's have caught me eye. They tick a lot of boxes for me as they are semi-open, supra-aural and have closed cups. I am hoping the closed cups will provide more isolation as that was my one complaint with my PX100's. I...- Cieran

How do Senn HD408's compare to PX100-ii's?
I was tempted to go for the Superlux a few weeks back after reading some glowing reviews here and elsewhere. My only concern with getting these is that the trebles are supposed to be a bit harsh at times and I think I would miss the Senn's dark and smooth signature.- Cieran
