Hey there!   I was wondering if the Schiit stack (Bifrost/Asgard 2) could be nicely paired with my Beyer DT 880 Pro (250 Ohm). I've heard the Bifrost is very neutral sounding, whilst the Asgard is a little warm (really close to neutral though). Would these devices make the DT 880 sound as...

Hey there!   I bought the DT 880 Pros some time ago, and I'm more than happy with them. So far I've been driving them with a NIKKO vintage receiver, but the problem is that I have no direct amplification for my PC, where all my music is stored (I bought the NIKKO for its phono preamp, to...

Hey everyone! My sister wants a headphone under $100 with these specs (not tech specs):   • Closed-back • Short cable (4 ft or similar) • Mildly portable, not too big, but full-size arround the ear • Low impedance, she uses an iPod Touch • Neutral sounding, or a little warm sounding...

Hey everyone! I'm new to mid/hi-fi and, although I already got my home setup, there are some terms used by audiophiles that I still don't quite understand. I came to know these terms thanks to the massive thread "Battle Of Flagships". I know the meaning of most terms regarding headphones, like...

Hello there!    I recently finished buying all the components for my home setup: A JVC QL-A5 direct drive turntable (vintage) with a very crappy "Le.son LM 180C" cartridge (that I will replace in the near future), a very nice NIKKO STA 7070 speaker amp (almost perfect condition), a DVD...

Hello everyone!   I'm about to finish my home setup with a JVC QL-A5 Direct Drive turntable, a Pioneer amp (not sure which yet), my PC (which will be connected to the amp), and the Beyer DT 880 Pro 250 Ohm headphones (I'll probably buy speakers later on). Apart from my small vinyl...

Hello there! I just bought a vintage JVC QL-A5 turntable, and it came with a "Le son LM 180C" cartridge (quite old I suppose), and the matching stylus is a "AG 80". The person who sold this turntable to me said the tracking force should be around 2.4, but I don't know if that's the correct...

Hi! The title says it all. The song is "Benny The Bouncer" by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, great prog rock musicians. Check it on youtube.    Here you have the lyrics:   Benny was the bouncer at the palais de dance  He'd slash your granny's face up given half a chance.  He'd sell you back...

Hello all! This topic was probably posted a million times, but I have a specific query regarding this: Are the mono remasters (2009) the original mixes that were featured on the original vinyl releases or are they new mono mixes? I've looked everywhere, and all I can find is that both mixes...

Hello everyone!! I recently bought the Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro (250 ohm) and I'm more than happy with its performance. Now, in the next few days I will start my own home audio system, which will contain a vintage technics turntable, a Kenwood Ka 1500 vintage stereo amp and speakers (I don't know...

Hello guys, I'm going to Miami soon (I think south Miami) and I wanted to buy the DT 880 Pro. I'm not sure if it is available there, hence the question. I also wanted to know what's the retail price of those headphones and if they are better than the AKG K 271 Mk II. I've read that both these...

Hey, I was thinking about buying the AT-LP120-USB as a begginer turntable for casual listening (I'm not a DJ, I just love music). I know the orginal cartridge is very crappy, but if I buy a decent one, will it sound good? I know it is $200 but I have the impression that it is very good for the...

Hey there, I'm trying to find the perfect headphones for me, and so far I have narrowed my options to these two cans: the AKG K 271 MK II and the Shure SHR940. I've already seen the unboxings and the features of both headphones on youtube, so I only need you to explain me the differences...

Hello there! I'm not an audiophile but I'm trying to become one, so I always try to learn everything regarding sound. I know high impedance means that you need more power to run your cans, but I don't know if a 55 ohm headphone (AKG K 271 Mk II) can work properly on my iPod Classic (without a...

Hi there, I'm going to buy these headphones and I noticed they have a 55 ohm impedance. Will that sound good on my iPod Classic, or do I need a portable headphone amp (I am considering the Fiio E17)? Will the high impedance make them sound too quiet on my iPod, or will it be just fine?  ...

Hey there, I was wondering which of these headphones is better sounding (clear highs and mids, and which bass response is better). I am not a bass head, but I like warm sounding cans (without sacrificing sound clarity on highs and mids). I've already seen the build quality on both of these...
