has anyone received M50 from sound professional from the sale 1.5 weeks ago?

I have never paid any custom fees from receiving packages from overseas.  Proud to be an infidel!  :-)

Quote:   My order was canceled today as well, but no charge and nothing shipped.  Will need to keep looking again.  Please post if you see a good D5000 deal.  Thanks.

looks like buy.com's Denon AH-D5000  is dead.  The $380 price offered by Beach Camera is gone and it is now at $480 through some other company. 

Oops, sorry about that.  I missed the original post.  I bought a pair anyhow.  Look forward to listening to them.

My turn to give back to the community.  buy.com has Denon AH-D5000 for $379.95 + free shipping.  Saw this on Ssickeals.net first.   http://www.buy.com/pr/product.aspx?sku=204242051

Quote: jisora, thanks very much for the instruction.    I opened mine today.  I looked around in there, and decided to put some stretched, re-shaped cotton balls in the cavity of the cups.  Just listened to it for a couple minutes and didn't notice any obvious change.  I've had probably...

Is there still any AH-D5000 deals like EE used to have a few weeks ago?  Thanks.

I get pretty good bass from my K550 before I did anything, even without turning on bass boost from my cMoyBB.  With BB turned on, it is even better.  To get a good seal, push around the cups' edges to get a good fit.  I also later on bend the wide metal head band just a little bit to get a...

Could anyone tell me how to open up the K550?  I want to open them to see the inside, but I don't want to break them.  Thanks.

Thanks. I just ordered last week. I guess I have to wait longer.

mmayer, thanks for your post.  When did you order your ODAC?  Thanks.

I received my K550 2 days ago. The only comparison I have is a pair of HD 650 that is 1.5 weeks old. The build is very solid and it looks good. I'd say it is a bit better built than HD 650 by a hair because it has more metal. K550's clamp force is much lower than the HD 650 though. K550's foam...

Quote:   thanks for the link.  just ordered the A151!  I really need to replace my old Shure e3c.

I just ordered an ODAC last night.  MikeW, when you say I need to set Windows to use 24-bit, that is set in the ODAC properties in device manager?  Thanks.

Can't wait to test my new K550 later this week and compare it with my HD 650.  I also have 2 cMoyBB, one is gain=8 and 18V (dual 9V) to match HD 650's 300ohm impedance.  Will be modding the other one to gain=2 and dual rail splitter to work with K550's 32ohm impedance. 

Quote: We re in the same boat.  I have HD 650 now and will receive a K550 next week or the week after. 

Any good case recommendation for Sennheiser HD 650 and AKG K550?  Thanks.

Just ordered mine. Look forward to enjoying some private listening.

Quote: it is now an even $50, so it is $20 shipping.  Shipping cost based on product price is dumb. 

Checked with jdslabs. John has been super helpful with my questions. For HD 650, He suggests to set gain to 7 or 8, and use two 9v batteries or a 18v or 24v power supply. I could listen with my HD 650 at almost maximum level with this setup, but I turn it down to middle so I don't blow my ear...

For a lot of games 2-key-rollover is enough.  But sometimes it won't work for FPS if you need to move forward and right and also reload and jump at the same time.  You would need 6KRO or more.  Most USB keybaords do 6KRO as that's the default USB implementation for keyboards (6 individual keys...

Hi.  Checking in with my new HD 650.  I now know what I was missing :-).   I am currently driving the 650 with a 12V 7.25 gain cMoyBB.  I am going to change it to using 2 9V batteries and get a 18V or 24V power supply.  I know next thing I will do is to get a new amp.  Any recommendation for...

would HD 650 work better with base boost in cMoyBB?
