Why is it so natural for people to be able to compare digital camera's, photo printers, TVs etc. and draw objective conclusions about which picture or image is "better." I assume it's because they're frame of reference is all around them. It's clear that, by looking at a picture of someting...

I'd like to know, who ultimately runs this site? Is is a person, is it a company? How many many moderators are there. what are their screen names? What are their responsibilities?

...who type "SOLD" over their asking price when selling something here, I'm considering recording the asking prices from the Headphone FS posts, at least, and either reposting them on a separate thread or keeping an offline database open to anyone who wants access. All you'd have to do is let...

Someone sold a pair of AKG K1000 phones here this week. I posted a reply asking what these went for because the weird seller typed "SOLD" over the price? Moderators deleted my post and locked down the thread. What's the big freakin' deal??? Jesus...

Pretty good deal.

Anyone??

So, if I hooked up my AKG K1000s to any of these amps below would the Orpheus be that much better? People around here talk about it as being the end-all of amps. Or, is it just the best dedicated headphone amp - sort of best in breed but not best of show? Zanden Art Audio VAC Cary Audio Note...

I'm looking to buy a new system; Source, Amp, Phones and cables. It must sound great. Only looking to spend $250.

As I look at some of your equipment inventories I'm really amazed so may people have such outstanding collections. How in the hell do you guys pay for it?? Does everyone make $100k/year??

I just bought a pair of power tubes for my amp and probably paid more than I had to. I was pretty impulsive and just bought them because I thought it was a good price without knowing for sure - which is totally uncharacteristic. Now, as I always do, I am still scanning the market to validate...

In the last three months I've seen, in various venues, these cans sell anywhere from $400 to over $800 used. What's the story? What do people think the future is for these? Will existing NOS, if any, continue to rise in value?? Will they be upstaged by new products and die slowly? Will they...

I'm considering this as a means to advance my career and do something interesting for a change. Anyone else considering this?

I can't help but get annoyed with ALL the, "Looking for a great sounding amp/headphones/source but don't want to spend more than $100." questions. What the hell is that all about???? If there were such a thing why would anyone in there right mind buy anything else??? Bottom line is you get...

Ok, all of you Over-21 Head-fiers. I want to try a new drink this weekend. Something original I can The Head-Fi and serve it to my stupid friends. Any suggestions?

For those of you who have done this, can you answer me a few questions please: In general, did it sound realistic and integrate well with the over all sound? Were you using your subs speaker terminals or low level RCA inputs? What sub did you use and how much did it cost? What would you do...

Does anyone know if theres a way to determine when my K1000s were made based on the serial number? Also, does anyone have any info regarding engineering/design/materials changed over their history?

Just ran across this, by any chance has anyone heard this??? Manley Headphone Amp/Preamp

How much amp is TOO mucha amp (in wpc) for these phones??

Would like to try to keep it <$1k.

Has anyone ever tried this??? It seems like it would be pretty cool. Please let me know. I'm very curious. http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls....ube&1139731962

So, I just got mine today and have gone through a number of CDs, mostly acoustics Jazz: I can't believe I didn't get rid of my HD650s sooner. I've never heard such beautiful, rich, full bass before. I can't understand why so many members commented about the lack of bass in these cans??????
