Thanks, that actually looks great! And yes, it appears this loudness tuning feature is what I am after. I'll dig deeper into the RME ADI-2, perhaps there is one in my future. :thumbsup:

I'm no longer able to enjoy the sound of most headphones due to my ears becoming overly sensitive to anything over ~70-75dB for more than 20 minutes. I can do 80dB for about 5-10 minutes without discomfort. I didn't realize until somewhat recently that my airpods pro headphones have an adaptive...

Wow what an amazing thread, thanks for sharing your experience with so many headphones! I never expected to find such an excellent resource! Maybe you could help steer me in the right direction? As someone who plans to use these 90% of the time with apple products so I'm limited to AAC but...

Ahh, thanks for the response. Does anyone know where to buy a set of these in the US? I can’t seem to find them in stock anywhere.

I'm looking to pull the trigger on a pair of Cascade's as well. Can I ask when/where this sale is going to be? Thanks!

Is this available for purchase yet in the US? I'd need it by this friday at the latest but i can't find it for sale anywhere.

Hello everyone, i have been searching the forums and google but i'm coming up short. I'm looking for something that i can plug my mp3 player and motorola walki into so that when i'm out on my motorcycle it defaults to music but when any audio comes out of the walk it mutes the line coming from...

Hello everyone, i recently picked up a 0404 usb. Installed the latest drivers/firmware, disabled my onboard sound in the bios. I'm using it purely as an external soundcard driving a pair of sennheiser HD595's. Everything i play, whether its sourced from a cd, mp3, or FLAC using WMP or VLC pops...

I just picked up an 0404 usb from the local fry's for $199 (i know its cheaper online but this way i can return it easily if i'm not happy) I'm driving a pair of sennheiser HD595's off of it and so far i'm pretty pleased. However after reading this and various other threads people are saying...

Thanks for the reply highflyin, unfortunately i dont think the PPA will work as i need everyhting to be here by mid next week and i dont think i could get one that soon, what do you think of the Rega Ear? Also my source is going to be a E-MU 1212M. My last question is that this whole...

Thanks for the reply pbirkett, assuming i use this amp with the sound card in my computer (E-MU 1212M) What type of cable would i need to go from the sound card to the amp? Sorry for the stupid question, i am very new to this. Also can you recommend any reliable online vendors that cary the amp?

I am leaning towards Jasper's recommendation and going with: EM-U 1212M PreSonus HP4 HD595 and there arent any guitar centers in my area and i couldnt find the mogami cables anywhere online so will these work? http://www.toddthevinyljunkie.com/pr...duct.php?id=50 Additionally, do those...

Hi all, i am in need of a good amp to power a pair of sennheiser HD595's or HD600's. My budget is about $300, i can go a little over if need be. The Gilmore Lite was on my list but it is not an option as i need an amp by the end of next week, and the wait on a gilmore is almost a month, so if...

Jasper, assuming i go with what you first suggested, but i went with the senn HD600 or the beyerdynamic DT880 would the rest of the equipment mentioned be able to drive either of those well? Or would that require an upgrade somewhere else as well?

Thanks for the info ReDVsion, may i ask which amp you are running to 880's off?

I agree gpalmer, it is worth waiting for a better product, but i am under a time constraint and everything must be ordered and arrive by mid next week as i am going out of the country on business and will not be back for quite some time, and a great pair of headphones is what i am lookoing to...

Ok, i just noticed on this website http://www.headamp.com/order.shtml that it takes them 21 days just to build the gilmore lite. My problem is i am going to be ordering everything within the next few days and would like it all to be here at the same time, so can anyone recommend any pre-built...

Thank you Wmcmanus, thats what i wanted to hear . My big problem now is which interconnects to go with, can anyone suggest some?

Thank you all for the replys! That Stax SR 3030 system looks very interesting, but the review i read mentions it lacks in "conventional" bass. I am sorry for not being more specific in my listening habbits but they are very broad and range from tool, the red hot chilli peppers, and metallica, to...

Ok, assuming i go with the 1212M with the new version of the Gilmore Lite, the only thing left is to choose the headphones. My only question now is where can i buy the Mogami balanced interconnects? I have searched google and come up with very little. Is there another brand that may be easier to...

Thanks for the advice md01 it is appreciated. I will hold off on the headphones for a while until i can at least demo a few of them first and read up as much as possible here, but my main question now is: will the EM-U 1212M + PreSonus HP4 be capable of driving any of the headphones in my price...

Thanks for the reply commando! I really dont have a preference on closed or open cans, whichever sounds best. I think i also like Jasper's suggestion best so far, but can anyone recommend any good online stores where all this can be purchased?

Thanks for the info Tony. Unfortunately buying used is not an option for me so i think the MS-pros are out of my price range . I have $700 for everything needed assuming i will be using my computer as the source of the music as i do not own any high end stereo equipment.

Thank you both for the reply's i appreciate it. Does anyone else have any other suggestions, the more the better .

Hi everyone, i have always wanted an outstanding pair of headphones and i finally have the money to do it. My budget is $700 for everything that is needed, headphones,amp,speaker wire? If any of the pro's can recommend a great setup for listening to all around everything from classical to rock...
