FitEar TG334 are beautiful. That titanium tube is so nice looking. Second up would be the black Alpha Dogs/Primes. As of late, I find the K7xx to be quite a looker in addition to sounding quite good for their asking price. They are for sure an upgrade from the K701/K702 color scheme

That's awesome you can drive over to their location. Did you have to make an appointment or is just like a walk in thing?

Will there eventually be a closed successor to th alpha dog ?

Is there any proper way to cut off the felt on the ear side of the driver so that you don't damage the dust cover? I can't tell how deep the material is so any help would be useful.

So I tried Dynamat in the back and didn't like it and found cotton balls + tungsten putty in the back of the cups to be better for my taste. I did full the baffles with clay (crayola stuff I found at michaels) and I do believe sound has improved, butt I think the best modification is the...

I don't like the Orange but this could be an interesting development from a modding standpoint.

Why did the rx3 get discontinued?

I just got my Alpha Dogs in the mail. Opened them up and was incredibly delighted with the packaging and build quality, they feel more solid than the Fostex TH900s! Running them of of a balanced setup from the HA1, planning on getting an adapter and testing it on a Bel canto setup, but until...

MrSpeakers Alpha dogs in red are white slick looking

From what I've seen headphones get the moniker of "audophile, reference etc" from the marketing department of said headphone's manufacturer.

  So you actually think the HA1 is a step above the WA7? Interesting, as I thought the WA7 albeit having a slightly "technically inferior" DAC would have better sonic capabilities solely functioning as an amp. The HA1 does indeed have fantastic sound, but I also have heard the WA7, and it...

My old jam for the HD650s was the RX MK  3 B + with a balanced cable, I would still use that setup if I wasn't so busy all the time at my desk.

Do you guys think it would be possible to use a wood stain on these? I want the color to be a bit darker than they already are.

The HD600 will shine with most amps as for the K702, not so much. It's pretty subjective on which headphone is theoretically better as they play in the same field, albeit with substantial tonal differences. The HD600 sound is a lot warmer and colored versus the K702, which has pretty flat sound...

Off topic but what red Audio technica headphones are those in one of the pictures? It looks like they have an oyaide connector on one of the cups as well.

I'd hold off on the HD 800 x HA-1 pairing. The HA1 seems to perform much more pleasantly with orthodynamics. I use it with the HE 560s as do many others and find it to be quite satisfying indeed, in addition one of my favorite pairings is the T50RP and HA-1. I've also heard good things regarding...

Thanks! As an english major, this kind of stuff isn't exactly my forte haha.

Thanks for the reply. I am generally looking for something to curb the treble to softer levels generally. Ultimately, I feel as if I should shift to a tube amp versus solid state which I have been a firm believer in solid state over tubes for a very long time, but might have to break down and...

So you like the gungnir combo with the HE560? Akin to you, I once ran the Sabre and found it to not be quite the right fit but am looking for another discrete DAC for my desktop.

So I have a bit of a stupid question but I might as well - I bought a second set of T50RPs to play around with and was using them stock, and I noticed that at higher volumes (not super high, just above average) and put my hand on the cups and noticed them vibrating, is this a normal event, if so...

Where do you guys typically have the volume pot at when using planars? I have mine at about 12:00 on the 560s and was wondering if that was super loud for them or not?

I was reading a review on these from this forum, and it said that the 560s came with a XLR cable in the box, is this true for the production models as I do not have one?

R70x look extremely cool. Hopefully they sound as nice as their aesthetics !

Got the HA1 in today, came home and started trying it out after a long day of work. The amp seems like a pretty solid piece of equipment. I find it to be better than my old setup by a decent margin, which was an x-sabre analogue convertercrossed with the burson soloist. Running from my PC and...
