So, as I posted in the 'are they worth it' thread, these Denons are impressing me tremendously with their quality and response. However, upon continued listening, there are some wrinkles that I can't seem to quite iron out.   There is something 'off' about the upper-mids on these cans. I...

A month ago, I ordered a pair of Fischer Audio FA-011's off of ebay from gd_audiobase, who also has a website many of your will be familiar with. A month later, and it's past the expected arrival date for the headphones, and I've tried e-mailing both the ebay account and the website account, and...

I was in the market for a new headphone amp, and I was wondering whether or not to keep my MBox2 in the signal line for it. In other words, get a DAC/Amp like BitHead, or keep using the MBox as the DAC and just get an amp, like the AirHead. Which will produce higher-quality results?   If...

I was preparing to create a DIY crossfeed circuit for my headphone listening, when I suddenly had an, "oh, duh" moment: If I usually listen through my computer anyway, why not emulate the acoustics in software instead of hardware? A quick google search reveled there are indeed options along...

I was looking for a simple, budget-friendly DIY headphone amp as my first major electronics project. I was thinking about the basic CMoy, but if possible I'd like to get something with an acoustic simulation circuit on it as well. Figuring out how to put it all together myself is a bit above my...

I recently have been posting on my frustration trying to find a headphone that works well for the music I listen to, and have a very good example track to demonstrate my difficulties:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMFPqSxDdHs   High-quality download here:  ...

As my flagship Christmas gift this year, I got a new pair of Sennheiser HD598's. I've been listening to them sporadically while letting them run for some break-in; perhaps about 8 hours worth at this point at moderate volume. How much more improvement can I expect vs. what I hear so far? Because...

Recently the 1/8 plug on my Grado SR-80s broke, so I took it upon myself to solder a new one on.   It was my first attempt at soldering, and it was successful, but I've noticed the Grados are noticeably quieter and less bright now than they were before. This may be due to:   I changed it...

Currently my top pair of headphones are Grado SR80's, which are getting old and I recently had to fix (my first foray into soldering). I like them plenty for some things, but there are other things they seem to really fail at pretty hard.   I'm looking for new headphones that would...

My old headphones broke, need new ones. Here's the basics:   Use for: Enjoyment mainly, also do some audio recording.   System: Honestly, I mostly play music through my computer. I use the headphone port on my Digidesign MBox2, or just the 1/4 on the computer when the Digidesign sounds...

Okay, so I suppose like many people before me I've come here looking for reccomendations on my next headphone purchase. I'm willing to spend up to $150-$200 but over that is pushing it especially if I want to also invest in a headphone amp. I'm looking for something with a big sound, but NOT...
