Installing Burson Conductor SL on Windows 7 x64???
The instructions are useless... I have been combing the internet trying to get this to work. I just received my brand new Burson Conductor SL 1793 and I can't get the pc to recognize it. I have tried TOSLINK as well but it didn't come up with anything under sounds panel. I've installed...- SolomonPierce

Entry level amp for LCD2
I'm a new owner of LCD2s and I'd like to start building my setup around them. I've read the tread on lcd2 amps, but given its length, it's hard to sift through the entry level & high end. Basically I'd like to know what would be a good pairing amp with either a neutral or slightly warm sound. ...- SolomonPierce

LCD2 setup tips
(I posted this here because I'm mostly looking for an amp, it's not about the cans so much as it is the setup, I apologize if there is a better forum for this.) I have read a lot of the recommendations for the lcd2s, but I really wanted to point out my questions in particular to decide how to...- SolomonPierce

Connecting Lyr to PC without an external DAC in between?
I am planning on getting a Lyr when I order my LCD-2s... Just curious about how I would go about connecting it to my pc. With the two purchases I don't have the cash for a dac right now. Right now I just have a total bithead that's hooked up via usb. The Lyr only has RCA inputs so what would...- SolomonPierce

Who uses Q-tips?
In your ears I mean of course... I was just reading this article about the most misused items and Q-tips were number 1. I know it says on the box not to put them in the ear canal, but leaving all that wax in there would annoy me. Just curious thinking if you guys ever worry that you'll kill...- SolomonPierce

Diminishing returns in regard to sq
At what price point (for cans) does the additional money really not make much of a significant increase? I know price =/= quality all the time, but in a general sense... where would you believe the threshold of spending to be? I've recently been considering upgrading from my main hd598 to...- SolomonPierce

Going for a big quality jump... looking for tips and recommendations
I currently have the hd598, dt770/80, k540, and sr125 and those are the order in which I listen to them / like them. Amp is only a total bithead, but really want a decent desktop amp / dac asap. The 770 / 598 are interchangeable depending on music, but I mostly listen to classical /...- SolomonPierce

Hd598 featured in Glamour magazine haha
Bored over the weekend and came across this: Problems: In the blurb on the bottom, it details everything everyone is wearing (omg), but they fail to mention the Senns. Also the mannequin has them on backwards! Stupid Mannequin! I thought you guys might get a kick out of this.- SolomonPierce

Total Bithead Clipping
I'm a new owner of a total bithead, mostly bought it for my dt770/80. My question is that when using the dt770s at higher volumes the clipping indicator light will come on, though I don't hear any distortion or anything. Now I have it set to high output even though they're 80ohm cans just...- SolomonPierce

Looking for closed, portable, easy to drive, built like a tank set of cans
Just want good headphones for when in the car with my friends. I used to use sennheiser cx250 iems but they broke because I have a hard time being gentle with gear on the go. I'd love to find a good set of cans that aren't too expensive I.e. under $300 and will hold up against any punishment I...- SolomonPierce

Making sure everything is set up as good as it can be
I have a titanium x-fi (I forget exact model) that I've been using with my headphones until now because they've all been low imped / high sensitivity. Now I got a dt770/80 so I bought a total bithead just to make sure I have enough to drive them and I want to know what to do to make sure...- SolomonPierce

dt770 (80ohms) first impressions
Just got my dt770s today and I have to say I'm really pleased. I've never had a bassy pair of headphones before so they're a nice change for my electronic music and pretty great on hip hop / rap I've tested with it (even though I don't care for most rap). I have a total bithead on the way...- SolomonPierce

Tips on my next purchase...
I currently have a hd598, sr125, and k540 / old k270. Since I've only bought fairly low imped cans so far I have not bought an amp. I returned my E7 / E9 I got with my 598s because the difference was marginal (and the E9 had a popping sound issue which I'm guessing was just a faulty unit). ...- SolomonPierce

Microphone help Shure KSM141
Just bought this microphone for my choir and I was hoping to find a little help from you guys if you could lend a hand. I usually only care about headphones, so I don't know very much about setting up a microphone. We had an old Shure mic before and it was okay but we wanted a omnidirectional...- SolomonPierce

New hd598 out of E7/E9, popping sound distortion at random intervals
I love the 598s, out of the box they were okay but the more I used them they really opened up to the soundstage that people speak of. Anyway, I didn't experience any problems right away, but now I'm getting a crackle / pop sound randomly and at any volume. I'm guessing / hoping it's some...- SolomonPierce

I'm pretty new to the audiophile game, I've always loved music but it's been a long time since I have spent much on headphones. It all started this summer in Poland where I bought a pair of K540s and I thought they were damn fine for the price. Today my 598s came which I have been looking into...- SolomonPierce
