I don't know if someone posted this photo of audeze xc before but it shows how xc looks inside:

Stock HE500 has no damping material at the back. IMHO he500 has worse bass without grill and damping (it's boomier and bit loosier). And the rest of spectrum (mids and highs) is more uneven. At least this is how I hear it when I use sine wave generator. Damping gives less bass to HE500 but it...

Hi. I have a question to users and owners of both HE6 and HE500. Did someone try to compare those headphones but after replacement of damping material from he6 to he500? I think that it might be very interesting comprassion. As far as I know HE6 has cotton wool and foam (?) behind the...

Hi, Thanks fo reply. Yesterday I decided to connect my he-500 directly to my rotel rb1080 solid state amplifier (thanks for user Happy Camper). After first longer session I can say that I can hear slightly noise compared to the sound with HE-Adapter and the soud is louder. With adapter I was...

Of course I'll post my impressions but I also have a question about resistors in series. Most of users recommend  using 10W-12W Mills or Duelund resistor for paralell connection. Are there any recommendation of resistors in series? Should it be also non-inductive resistor? Can anyone post some...

Hi, Thanks for reply. I haven't try direct connection yet (becouse I'm still insecure). I can buy sth from this shop: http://www.loudspeakershop.eu/resistors-c-196.html I was thinking about Duelund 10R10W or Mills MRA-12 8R2 or 15R for parallel resistor. But as far as I'm concerned in my...

Hello. I'm a owner of he500 headphones and ussually I'm listening them directly from outputs of my audiolab 8200cdq (using headphone output or xlr outputs). Lately I borrowed HiFiMan's HE-Adapter to connect my headphones to my Rotel RB1080 200wpch/8Ohm solid state power amplifier. Sonud was...
