I'm looking to pamper my D600s, who wants to help?! I'm currently running them out from a MacBook Pro>USB JDS ODAC>GoVibe Vulcan+. I'm pretty happy with the Odac for now (should I be?) but am considering upgrading the Vulcan. I don't want to spend much more than $300 but give me your opinions...

Hey guys,   I'm having difficulty deciding between a tube or SS amp/DAC mostly due to my own inexperience. What would pair well with the HD 650? I like a warm/full sound and the HD 650 has a very lush mid-bass hump that I would like to preserve. I also want to preserve the excellent...

What would y'all recommend in order to get the best out of my Pro 900s (since I'm almost positive I'm getting better sound out of my iPad mini than I am out of my 4 year-old MacBook). At the moment I run out of my MacBook Pro>USB>Fiio E7. I have never looked at full size amps so I would need...

Hey peeps,   The more time I spend here the more I really want to try a beyerdynamic.  History: started off with Senn HD598, then moved to Denon D5000, got the Ultrasone HFI 780 for portable use, loved them so upgraded to Pro 900. I just sold all my headphones minus the HD598 and Pro 900...

Hey y'all. Just sold my Denon AH D5000s because they are impractical for me--I need something portable (which is why I love my Pro 900s). My friend who always used my 5000s is upset though because she really loved them. Would you consider the Denon AH D1100 a good replacement for the 5000s? She...

I love my Pro 900s (only at about 20 hours now)! I've been thinking about getting an amp after they've had 300-400 hrs. I currently have a Fiio E7 I run directly out of my MacBook Pro. Is there a better option (full-size or portable) for the Pro 900? Not really on a budjet (I'll sell some...

Anyone have any experience purchasing from HeadPhoneMania? I bought a pair of "new" Ultrasone Pro 900s for $305 shipped. I'm a little worried but the price isn't that much cheaper than, say, B&H which is a legit retailer. They are shipping out today so I can let you guys know how it went if and...

Hey Bros,   I really REALLY like my HFI 780s that I have had for a few months. I found a used pair of Pro 900s that I could get for around $300. Is it worth the upgrade? In what ways sonically? Also, are the Pro 900 more comfy?   Thanks!

Anyone know the difference between the Turtle Beach Ear force DSS2 and DSS1? Are they both capable of replicating 7.1 or just 5.1 surround sound channels? They are both compatible with Mac OS X, correct? Anything else I should know? I am only asking because the DSS is going for about $40 cheaper...

Current setup:   MacBook Pro>Fiio E7>D5000   or   MacBook Pro>old Pioneer receiver>HD 598   What would you guys recommend using to amp the D5000s and HD 598s? I particularly like the bass boost on the Fiio E7 for the D5000s and sometimes HD 598s. I really don't know a thing about...

Could someone describe the bass on the LCD-2 for me. I've heard them before but I wasn't able to listen to much. I'd like to compare the bass of the LCD-2 to the Denon AH D5000. Will the LCD-2 still have the same "rumble" effect if I watch movies with large explosions and what not? In what ways...

Anyone know where in the Chicago land area (I'm in Hyde Park) I could demo a pair of LCD-2s. I'm trying to decide if they are worth selling my HD-598s and Denon AH D5000s (I love them both a lot) in order to pick up. Finding a cheap, used pair of LCD-2s is also proving to be a challenge...

Alright, I can't be the only one who finds a special, musical place when I'm a couple beers in. I mean, I love music (and furthermore my AH-D5000s and HD598s) but something about hitting that perfect BAC just makes me melt in my music.   Who's up for some drunk music discussion? Trade some...

Hi all,   I am fairly new to the whole hi-fi thing but I believe I have already realized what the most important aspect of being a listener is:   Be nice to your ears so they will last you the rest of your life.   So my question is how can I do this? How can I listen to my headphones...

What do you guys think? How do the two headphone's bass compare with each others?

What are your thoughts on the LCD-2 vs anything Grado has to offer. I like rock, but listen to a multitude of genres. I hear the bass is great in the LCD-2s; how would the, say PS500, hold up to them. I'm thinking about buying either Audeze or Grado so any opinions would be lovely.   Thanks!

I am looking to make some additions to get the best out of my HD 598s. I currently drive them with an older Pioneer receiver (used to be top of the line; don't know if I should change it). Do you recommend any amps that would help the 598s (I also have a Fiio E7 that I use for travel). Lastly...

I am a fairly new audiophile. I don't have the lingo quite down so bare with me. When my skullcandy G.I.'s broke I decided to give a used pair of HD 598's a try. I will never forgive myself for the months I spent with skullcandy's around my ears. The HD 598 are unlike anything I'd ever heard; I...
