I'm looking to get solid, well built, sleeved cables for my K702. This is mainly for aesthetic reasons. Do I have any viable options?

Preface: I am a graduated computer engineer and work in the software business. I am also a relative newbie with respect to the audiophile scene. That being said, my father is an avid audiophile and I have had the pleasure of auditioning many setups with him. Recently, I built him a music server...

I have a pair of K702 and have ordered myself a Schiit Bifrost. In the future I will probably get myself a pair of HD800, which is why they're in the title. Now comes the amp decision. The forerunners are the Burson HA-160 and Schiit Lyr.   Regarding the Lyr: I am apprehensive about tubes in...

Just ordered myself a pair of AKG K702. I have had these for a short while in the past and know that I like them a fair bit, so I'd like to get the most out of them.   I'm looking for a DAC and solid state amp (not necessarily a combo) that will do this thing justice. As for budget? I'd...

So, I recently purchased a pair of AKG K702, which I'm enjoying, but I can't help but wonder what I might get by moving on to a better pair of headphones.   While I'm liking the K702, I do have a few issues with them:   - slightly too sibilant. I want silkier vocals. - soundstage...

So I decided to try the AKG K702 tonight. Coming from the Ultrasone HFI-580, which I love, I was really afraid I might find them extremely bass shy, as many people have reported.   Wow. No way. Bass extension is all there. The bass simply sounds completely natural.   Heck, even...

Just got myself of Axiom Audiobytes with the sub (~$500 PC speakers).   They come with their own amp, so I figured I'd shell out for a USB DAC rather than relying on my cheapo Xonar DS.   I need some recommendation...I'd probably be willing to pay around $200 if it's justifiable. Any...

Let's just preface this by saying I love my Ultrasone HFI-580. They're the best headphones I've heard besides the Grado SR-1, which had a different but equally appealing flavor. The soundstage is wide, though not very forward. The bass is incredibly punchy and not uncontrolled whatsoever. Mids...

After I listened to this album a few months back, it quickly became my favorite album of all time. Just such a fantastic blending of all the instruments, very melodic stuff. I'm looking for another album with a similar soft jazz/rock/metal blend. Anyone have any suggestions on where to look?

Been searching for a while. Doesn't seem like anyone has given any impressions on these (or at least, I couldn't find any). I posted a topic a few days back, saying I was getting a pair of HPs mainly for a new electronic drumset, though I will obviously use them for some home listening if...

Alright, so since I've decided on getting my first set of drums, the Roland TD-9K electronic drums. Now, I have to decide on the headphones. I'm probably looking in the $100-200 (at most) range. Don't recommend me the DT770, I hate em! I want something that sounds great and seals well...

Okay so I ordered these...and now I want to delve into what I might expect and what equipment I should run these with. My source would currently be a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS. Now, I've never had any experience with Beyers, but how are they going to sound driven by the Audigy 2? If there's...

I want to get some Beyerdynamics DT770 80ohm to use for PC/Gaming use (will mod them with a microphone eventually). These seemed like the best choice for their intended use. I'm having trouble finding an online retailer where I can buy them in Canada though. Anyone know of a decent spot? If...

So who do you think are all the best solo guitarists out there? My pics are (in no particular order): Electric: Joe Satriani - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vVH78GXmaI John Petrucci - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t25AOSxZZkI Acoustic: Don Ross -...

Well, I got a 2002 Oryx Gemsbok for $300 at a pawn shop . It's got Shimano XTR components (mostly I think), along with Bombers (I think) and Fox Floats (I'm sure of that one) ....I know nothing about bikes, but I think that that was an incredible deal. The frame is a very fragile carbon frame...

Anyone download this off the PSN store yet? I can't wait to get home and play it! It looks so beautiful! I can't wait to get home and download this! Sorry the following is lacking his pics....go to the url to see the whole thing Here's the post from chubigans on NeoGaf...

About a month ago, there was a new member who would post the most random things ever in the Headphone forum. He would ask for a recommendation and then go into a random babble. It was really fun to read. I miss him.

Monoprice has some absolutely fantastic stuff, for peanuts! I swear this $6 TOSLink cable has a better build quality than a $200 Monster one. I'm ordering a pair of their shielded RCA interconnects. Can't wait to see how the build quality is, and how well they work out. C'mon, I know there...

I picked this up Friday at Walmart (Canada) for $660, with a free movie included (Click BD). I bought Oblivion, as I am not crazy about Resistance (I'm not much for console first person shooters), and I didn't want Motorstorm because it had a very low framerate when I tried the demo at BestBuy...

Heard them this semester through a friend. What kind of music would this be? They seem to be some sort of wierd, melodic jazz. I normally hate groovy jazz or anything like Diana Krall, but Bela Fleck is just awesome. Anyone listen to em?

Do you burn-in headphones when you get them? Note, this is a continuation of Sunkinator's topic "Burn-in Roundup!". A poll has been created as requested.

This is a custom song for GH2. I made this about a month and a half ago. Let me know what you think In Flames - Man Made God: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rr2FOQgBHXM

On the 24th, Sony released a new PS3 firmware update. PS1/PS2/DVD upscale to 480p/720p/1080i/1080p ! Blu-Ray downscale to 720p ! 1080p/24fps Blu-Ray playback ! Not to mention other updates, such as streaming video from the PC. I can't wait to get my PS3! Oh and turns out the PS3...

So I was going through the few rock and metal CDs I have (switched to legal music this year). Anyways, I noticed how many of the recordings are just terribly compressed, and don't do too well with a decent set of cans. I was dissapointed that In Flames recordings were so bad, Man Made God...

Well I should be getting an RS-1 soon, but I won't have the money to amp it. My dad however, has a Simaudio Moon Eclipse as source, and a Bryston BP-26 Pre-amp (for use in a loudspeaker setup). This preamp also has a built in headphone section. I was wondering how the RS-1 would sound out of...
