Title says it all.   I have been pondering over this for a few days, its for a friend, I suspect and AT or Beyer is the solution, and I am not familiar enough with those brands.   Criteria: Circumaural - comfortable Atleast decent isolation (leakage not an issue) pretty much drowning...

if you want to join, ask!    Post proof of your conquests, and some classic moments in the ongoing battle!       Intro SO then because of the latest onslaught of the uneducated I decided to create this club.   This is not to just talk about bashing fans of beats, but to be the...

This is gonna be  bit of a rant here but I feel it needs to be done. If your easily offended leave now or just skip the rant section.   NB Trying for yourself is not always possible, although its the most desirable situation. This is aimed to guide people along what lines they must think...

Article   HTC has announced they are creating their own certification for HTC devices for Audio and Video. It will rival the airPlay, and piggyback off of DNLA.   Pioneer has already partnered with them, I'm curious to see if this means it will get USB host aswell.   the One series...

As the title says I have looked A LOT and a lot more and more then that.   I'm still on my crusade to nail down my fathers gifts for his 50th.   And a simple bit of EQing handles most of his hearing deficiencies, about +5db between 1kHz and 2kHz. And tone controls just dont extend far...

SOOO I first put together a list and did a hell of a lot of research on a Vinyl + Phono + amp + HP rig for my dads 50th, then I found out how bad his hearing loss is, especially in the midrange.   I was considering the Allesandro MS2/Grado SR325 (with G-Cush pads) (and a $1100 budget for the...

I know this is a longshot at best, but anybody tried this as a HP amp? Specifically with a Grado SR325is. I'm curious because theses are a bargain atm and it has bass/treble controls which could be useful for the person I am buying them for.   Thanks

I'm trying to see if I'm the lone wolf in my area, or if there is anyone else that may want a meet.

EDIT 2: skip to here EDIT: Go here So my dads big 5-0 birthday is coming up in a few months and I wanted to start digging. I was thinking of getting him a turntable originally, and then realised good ones are available for less then one grand. So what i want is a TURNTABLE, an AMP...

Hi   I think it would be great if next to the preferences link at the top of a thread there was a gallery button, that showed a gallery comprised of all the photos that were submitted to that thread (including doing checks to see if the images are still valid or have been removed.)   And...

UPDATE just skip to here       UPDATE here   So Title says it all. First by girlfriend keeps taking my D2k, so I buy her AKG K142HD, and she loves them, I bought the AKG K242HD for myself, and wow its a close match to the D2k. I made the mistake of showing my mom, and she jacked...

Being a programmer, especially in the mobile side of things, i get very frustrated when trying to enjoy Head-Fi on a mobile device such as a tab or phone, and I do think, especially with the large number of members having smartphones, that this site really could benefit from a mobile optimized...

Well i just bought a k242HD and I'm very impressed by the quality of the sound, build quality and comfort dont match my D2k.   And i had a bright idea, let me replace the pads on the K242 so i was looking to see if the akg k70x pads will fit, and couldnt find any conclusive answers.  ...

I created this thread because impedances can be very confusing to non-DIYers. an impedance adapter in the general actually refers to an impedance INCREASING adapter, and is often used incorrectly. Here is a good article explaining why impedance matching is important. Output Impedance    ...

First off I'm a broke student, secondly I'm importing a bunch of stuff from Germany, and I'm making it worth by while by buying a few cans.   (I already own a Denon D2k, and a Asus Xonar essence STX)     1 I can get the AGK K242HD and save some cash (possibly put towards a second...

Hi all   Im a long time lurker of these forums, finally signed up the other day.   I currently own Denon D2000 and I've had them for about a year, learnt about FLACs and WASAPI and amping with them so I've quite a memorable time with them, and the best part, is that the cable is office...
