I havent been very active in the headphone department especially because I consider my headphone journey pretty much ended (atleast in the realm of dynamics, and I dont want to start from scratch with electrostatics), so this brand is very new to me. What are their good sides? What do they sound...

This probaply isnt a thing that is often asked here. I bought X-Box 360 last week (with Forza 3, a car-fanatic that I am) and I enjoy it a lot. However, I have to use my headphone rig for sound, X360 being connected digitally to my KECES dac and all. Unfortunately I found out that it has NO...

Ok, here is what I have to do. A cousin of mine is getting married, and we have some excellent and funny videos from her childhood which would be shown with a speech (atleast thats a one plan for the show in their wedding party). They are already transferred to DVD luckily. So, I have to rip...

I have decided that IEMs are not my thing. They refuse to stay in my ears, and my earwax production is quite high so filters get clogged in few days. (at best, in few hours at worse!) Its quite sad because I like both d-JAYS and ER6i, but I just cant use them... So, I have to stick with...

Question to you Belgium people, or anyone who has visited there. Does VISA Electron work commonly? In bars, shops, anywhere? Theoretically it should work everywhere where normal VISA debit card works, but thats not always the case I think? Just wondering if I should take a lot of cash with me or...

I have a pair of Behringer B2030a monitor speakers, and I want a subwoofer to accompany them. It doesnt have to be anything hifi quality, I only want it to extend behringers mediocre bass extension and depth a bit. However, I live in apartment house, so big woofers are bit no no: I AM NOT...

I need (read: want ) some active speakers, and good ones. But which one would be better suited for music I listen. Audioengine is quite known brand, but these Behringer monitors have gathered quite a bit of fame for their incredible price/perfomance ratio as monitors. Even though behringer is...

Saw this one for sale. Looks interesting, with discrete output and all. It is also supposedly to be on par and very similar sonically with Bel Canto 2, which frankly doesnt tell me a damn thing as it is a very unknown DAC for me. From what I have gathered it is also quite old DAC, so how it...

Here I try my best to compare these two headphones, and what they sound like when compared against each other. This is completely subjective comparison of their soundsignature. And this also reflects my own opinions and what MY ears hear. This is NOT a real review. I have already come to...

Im not a good at writing reviews, so I just say simply what Im hearing now. Just got them and listening them currently with variety of different metal. I use my Keces dac and CIAudio VHP2 amplifier. Now, these things surely sound THIN. Treble is rather shrill. Midrange is good, but could use...

I have slight problems. When I use my (coaxial output) KECES dac from Elite Pro, whenever songs with a silence in the beginning start I hear crackling and popping from my headphones (using Foobar ASIO). It should be silent, and normally they wouldnt be bothering when I use DT880, but I have to...

The end of my journey in headphone world is closing nearer. My top headphones are RS1, DT880 and HD580/HD600. (two latter have left my collection for now, but will make their reappearance soon enough. ) Now, I just want to make sure they get as much "raw power" they need. So, I want good solid...

Comparison of these two cans is needed. What has drawn me to listen HD580 more and more in late few days has been soundstage. It has a huge (if bit artificial) acoustic space feeling that really gives music like Black Metal a completely new atmosphere. And classical this stuff is almost...

So far, I have been pleased with my M-Audio 2496, though to tell the truth the difference between it and Elite Pro is extremely minimal. Shows how good Elite Pro actually is. Though I have sort of itch to try some Non-oversampling DACs, but I dont know any brands. Im aware of Monica2 USB, but...

This is something I have wondered a while now, and havent found an answer. For example, Thomann has DT880 2005 and some new DT880 Pro model for sale. Thing is, the pro one is cheaper, so what is the difference? Besides some few differences (atleast in pics, not sure about in person), they look...

Now that I have my RS1 and loving them to death, there is only one thing I want to fix in my rig. Currently I have Elite Pro as source. While being decent source, it doesnt have unamped line-out. All signals go thru its opamp. This provides some SS amplification, which then again renders the...

They are here! And what a gorgeus looking headphone it is! First thing that really hitted me in face after using SR325i was that what happened to the highs... Few seconds of getting used to, and I noticed that the highs are all there. Every detail is there and the Grado sound is all there...

First time I got them, I immidietly swapped to biflanges and didnt even bother with triflanges. They looked horribly uncomfy and big. Comfort: You cant forget you have something stuffed in your ears, atleast not with biflanges. But not particularly annoying either, just itchy. Gotta try...

I have had my mullards EF95 for couple of weeks and listened extensively. Liked the sound and all. However, few days ago one of the tubes started producing scratching noise and it seems to get louder now. Switched the sides and the noise switched too. Volume pot doesnt affect it, its same with...

Out of curiosity, how is the soundquality of Elite Pro versus some cheap DACs, like Fubar II? X-Fi Elite Pro has really good DAC built in, but amplification circuit (uses JRC4556A opamp) is not most ideal AFAIK. I think that is limiting factor in my system. Dual amplification with not-that great...

So, I need a warm sounding amplifier that suits both highly efficient Grados and less efficient Beyers. Lunchbox would have been excellent choice price-wise, and perhaps even tonally, but it cannot handle Grados, or any current leeching headphones. Darkvoice could be another choice, but more...

Dear lord, how much I have missed this sound! My face currently: Im surprised how balanced they sound with comfies. Bit muffled, but no overdone highs a'la bowls nor overdone bass a'la flats. Though it doesnt really have good sides of either too. Time to order some bowls, lets see how much...

Im going to sell my Musical Fidelity. I noticed that when I leave it out between my Elite Pro and DT990, the sibilance is reduced noticeably. My Elite Pro can drive DT990 just fine, it has good opamp built in. X-Cans isnt really stronger than Elite Pro, so no noticeably loss in soundquality...

All right, I've had these for some while now and I have used these extensively. Waited 'till "new-toy syndrome" wore off and such. So... THESE ARE AWESOME!!! Not enough? Ok, I guess more details is in order. I do understand the comparison to Grados, as these headphones really do have nice...

How do these two compare? I love my DT880, but im always on hunt for new flavor. K601 is bit rare headphone here, so I dont know what it might sound like, how are the details, bass and highs and so on. And soundstage too... Especially compared to old DT880. I have decided to push my Proline 750...
