i think audiophile just means music enthusiast, money and gear doesnt really count against you (think car enthusiastwith honda civic)

Yesterday our living room flat screen broke and my mom was watching the one in the master room. My  dad wanted to watch the olympics and came to my room to use my tv (i dont have one...lol). He looks at me and says where is your tv. I told him i never bought one. He looks at me like "What is...

i remember a couple of months ago my dad brought a friend over and he was bragging of how he was great because he had the most expensive bose at best buy. I turned around and rolled my eyes; then my dad said how I had this audio obsession. The guy said no way it was more expensive then his. My...

I have been looking in the forums for a long time for a direct comparison of the beyer t70 vs the dt880, especially about the vocals and bass, but have yet to find any thing other than the fact that the t70 are more detailed than the dt880.From what I am reading it seems like a closed dt880 with...

when ur headphone cable is longer than 10ft

morug, dont listen to those people who say that the stx sound card is not enough for the hd650. Though it is true that a better amp can make the hd650 sound a lot better, the stx sound card from my knowledge is more than enough to drive it properly. Many of the people that say it is not enough...

check this out, all credit goes to zombiex   http://www.head-fi.org/t/513393/guide-sonic-differences-between-dt770-dt990-models-more   i dont think beyer changed their model since 2005  

the hd25 is good for your tock and mpb at 200usd, but its not he most comfortable thing in the world http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD25-1-II-Closed-Back-Headphones/dp/B000TDZOXG/ref=pd_cp_e_0   dt770 are also good if u care about comfort but mids are a little recessed to me if u cared a...

u know u could get the basic hd25; it has great prat and bass. Plus they run pretty well on ipod without amping   http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD25SP-Stereo-Monitor-Headphones/dp/B000TDXPSC/ref=pd_sim_sbs_e_4

dude i just saw this and i think it will be helpful to u   http://www.head-fi.org/t/586682/how-to-make-a-custom-cable-for-sennheiser-hd-595

im also a noob on making cable, but i know from doing some research that for the   connectors to the 650 should be the cardas ones(its higher quality than original jacks)...

stax 009, hd650, akg 1000, lcd 3, and akg 702

sennheiser 598 is "the" most comfortable headphone(even more than my hd 650), but its open

sry if im a noob but about when is the e17 going to be avaliable?

senn 598 or m50 both dont need amps

yeah i play with my eq a lot especially if i change headphones(earbud vs over ears). there is nothing wrong with that it just shows you have a prefered eq and if u change it enough u will see that all your headphones end up sounding similar sound signatured ... lol.

ur headphone is 32ohm so amp benefit is minimal, but probably noticable if u have flac or lossless(if u want a e9). if u dont have that type of file then e7 is enough, but if u do then consider the e17. it has eq functions as well as a 24/96 dac. if u want to buy a whole dac and amp i think the...

  Quote: it seems you are saying you dont have a dac yet and that will definitely help make produce more music, it helps if u told us your headphone or speaker   i dont have either the argon or e17(not out yet), but if its usb it will both be 24/96. so unless one company built a...

i bet all of you will laugh at me after i say this because we never talked about the mx1 and i plan to get it just because im an ignorant child who wants to compare dedicated amps to stero amps and the review on...

haha wa6se seems to be both out in the market and out of my new budget of 500, but any one have a wa3 that they can compareto a good vintage receiver?   ps: for those of  u who who wonder where i got this weird/false idea of receiver not as good as dedicated headphone amps...

Quote: haha i'm actually running on 1980s sony amp right now, but guess i need some vintage marantz to match you guys Quote: i actually tried a nfb and the roll off of highs seemed a little too much to my liking; i think its the dual 8741 chips fault though  

im thinking amazon is a better choicethan overstock

i heard that dedicated headphone amps performed better than receivers if that is not the case please tell me the model of these amps

anything else u can compare them against?
