Grado modders go Magnum
Hi Guys. SO. I have a pair of Alessandro MS1is which I've loved for the last year or so. I usually listen to them with a slight V shaped EQ using EqualizerAPO+PeaceGUI. Over the last few months, they've developed some grattle issues that have only gotten worse. So I thought, what the...- tquickbrownfox

Schiit Valhala 2 OR Bottlehead Crack+Speedball OR Musical Paradise MP-301 MK3 OR Little Dot MK3/4
So I own a pair of DT880/600s, and I have up to $400 to spend on an amp. After spending sufficient time with the DT880s, I have realized that a flat, analytical sound is not what I'm after. Kinda wanna see what the whole fuss is about with tubes. Can you guys describe the difference...- tquickbrownfox

NEW 2015 - HIFIMAN HE400S
Thanks, tinyman. Its weird to see that the closed back headphone is the less bassy one, I'd assume it to be the other way around, but I guess that's the tuning oppo was going for.. Any chance you can compare the He400s to the DT880?- tquickbrownfox

NEW 2015 - HIFIMAN HE400S
Hi guys, I've been considering buying the HE400s. Can you tell me how it'd compare to the DT880/600ohm that I already own? Also, can anyone do a short he400s vs oppo pm3? Thanks.- tquickbrownfox

Does anyone have any experience with the Rega Ear MK 1 amp?
I'm looking to power my 600 ohm dt880s. This one showed up on the local craigslist for $150. What's the amp like? Is it any good? How would it compare to the schiit magni 2, for instance?- tquickbrownfox

The Beyerdynamic DT880 Discussion thread
Can you describe to me how the different amps affect the dt880/600? What do you prefer about the ss amps over the tube amps? I'm probably not gonna be spending too much. As far as solid state amps go, i've heard that the objective 2 and the schiit magni hit a price/performance sweet spot...- tquickbrownfox

The Beyerdynamic DT880 Discussion thread
Yeah, from what I've read so far, I pretty much owe these headphones some tubes. I'm probably not buying anything just yet, I'll probably buy used whenever I do buy. I just wanted to get familiar with some of the amps that people have had good experiences with. The Valhala seems well...- tquickbrownfox

The Beyerdynamic DT880 Discussion thread
So I just bought the DT880 edition 600 ohm version, so I guess I'm subscribing to this thread now. I've been running them out of a cmoy, and that has been kinda satisfactory so far, but I'm gonna be looking for something better to plug these into. What are some amps that pair well with the...- tquickbrownfox

Need help soon, buying in next few hours. amp,dt880/600
Just bought em. And yeah, the ipad can't drive them. Bought the cmoy too, it does a good enough job at the moment. They're perfect. I don't think that the earpads need replacement, they're amazingly comfortable as it is. Thats canadian $160, so in today's crappy exchange rate...- tquickbrownfox

If not the cmoy, i was gonna save up and get a tube amp, maybe the bravo v3, maybe something better. But I don't mind doing both. And I'd rather not be stuck for more than a month with a pair of headphones and no amp for them Will a cmoy at least run the dt880? Or would a cheap fiio do...- tquickbrownfox

So There's a Beyerdynamic DT880 600 ohm that a friend is selling for $160 without case/packaging/accessories/etc (nothing but headphones). I should totally buy that right? He'll throw in a cmoy for another $40. Should I buy the cmoy? I do not currently have the budget to buy a...- tquickbrownfox

Entry Level / Mid Fi iems with removable cables
So I just went to London Drugs, the only store in my city that sells Shure SE215. They were on sale, at 89$ on the website. By the time i got there they were sold out. I asked the Audio/Video Supervisor when they're gonna be restocked, and she told me that they aren't. They are going to be...- tquickbrownfox

Most expensive pair of IEMs you've ever lost ....
I lost my 175$ XBA 3, but by then it had developed some channel imbalance and was basically just lying on my desk. Took em out one day, think i left em at a library.- tquickbrownfox

Entry Level / Mid Fi iems with removable cables
In short, I was about to buy the se215, thought i'd check out what else is out there. I'm basically looking for a less bassy se215. I haven't had the chance to try out the se215, but the way they are described makes them seem too bassy. For context, I find my ATH M50 a little bassier than...- tquickbrownfox

Anyone disappointed by the new Led Zeppelin Remastered Albums?
Wow, thanks, that Steve Hoffman website is quite resourceful. Turns out I was listening to When The Levee Breaks from the upcoming Super Deluxe Edition Box.
