    Hey Duke, thanks for the reply. Sadly though, the PSU went to another bidder before I could get my hands on it. But I'll keep it in mind for when one surfaces again!

    Review by 'Bosstooned' on item 'Musical Fidelity X-CANV8P'

    The other day I found out I've been using this amp as my main set for over 2 years now. Suffice it to say that it has earned it's right for a small review.   Like with cars, I find that one can often get a hint of the country a piece of musical equipment was made in and the V8P is no exception...

    I've got a V8P and I'm thinking of buying a second hand X-PSU V8 to go along with it. Could you describe the difference it makes coming from the wall wart power supply?

    Musical Fidelity X-Can v8p - any good?

    I've got a V8P. It's a great little amp, very smooth and clean. I've auditioned a few amps before I got it, amongst which was an MF M1 Amp, and I liked the V8P better actually. It was more refined and way more musical in my opinion. The other amps I can't really remember, but they didn't pass by...

    x can v8 appreciation thread

    Agree that it's not underpowered sub-bass wise, but it certainly doesn't overpower either in my opinion. It's got some tight rains on my bass-heavy DT990's and defines it very clearly. I'd have the X-can's tubes tested if I were you. Btw, I had the E17 for over a year and it never really had any...

      Well the russian alphabet is littered with characters that closely resemble our own, but can mean something different. So chances are that these are the right ones and if the person that told you these are the right ones is trustworthy, then I'd assume they are good.   Hah, didn't know...

    The Sennheiser HD580 Impressions Thread

      Haha to me they sound more like my DT990 with louder bass an shriller high's. I thought of getting these too, but they're just as expensive regardless of where you look for them. I just take of the 580 grills whenever I'm in the mood for it; as long as I'm inside nothing will really...

    Sennheiser Momentum impressions thread

    Nah, the 600's are a completely different ballgame compared to the AKG's. I don't even believe the K550's to be on the same level as the 600's and 701, listened to three of them and it they were all terrible; muddy, unfocused, frequencies leaking all over the place... Allas, I tend to think the...

    Tried with the old, flattened pads and with brand new ones I got from Sennheiser. Also have both the thin 600 cable and the 650 cable. And it always sounds much more detailed and airy than my memory of the 600 and 650 seems to be, yet the biggest difference seems to be the pace and energy it...

    Got a V8P too, I bought it as an amp for my Beyerdynamic DT990 250Ω. It really smoothed out the mids on this phone and since there were no other amps around AND it was on sale for about two-thirds of the price well.... ;) Anyways it's true the dac in this thing can't hold it's own against the...

    Who are the Greatest Bass Guitarists of All Time? John Entwistle, Geezer Butler, ...?

    Ooo, McBride is an extremely good player, he's got lots of feel as well as a nice and groovy touch. He also knows what to play at what moment. Nothing he ever does, though, has made me feel like "Hmm", "wow" or "that's interesting". What he does is cool, yet not even in the same league as the...

    The Sennheiser HD580 Impressions Thread

    Yes anyone can do it, but I had to apply some well calculated force to the lips holding the drivers in place. I heard they can break and took care not to put too much strain on them. I pried them away one by one eventually.

    Who are the Greatest Bass Guitarists of All Time? John Entwistle, Geezer Butler, ...?

    So thus far everyone has failed to notice:   Stuart Zender: Jamiroquai's original bassist, his lines are very original, rhythm solid and he's incredibly diverse in his sounds. Abraham Laboriel: Just listen to Koinonia's Frontline front to back, that'll say enough... This man just ooze's...

    The Sennheiser HD580 Impressions Thread

    So apart from the headband piece that's missing they're refurbished now; new earpads, 650 headbandpad, cleaned out(apart from the drivers of course). I don't know what's either 'wrong' with me or these but they don't sound anything like the HD600's and 650's I ever listened to. For starters...

    Yeah, got an HD580 last week which I refurbished and boy does this thing prove how well the synergy between my DT990, Microstreamer and X-can actually is. I mean it sounds great with the Sennheiser too, but the DT990 blows it's performance straight out of the water on every side, except for the...

    Nope MacBook, lossless files. Use a Microstreamer now which pleases me the way the Alpen never did. Like I said maybe it's the synergy, after all I do use a 'controversial' headphone as my main.

    Sennheiser Momentum impressions thread

      I'm no bass head and I prefer them too.     L1 <> Momentum = no contest in my eyes, seriously dislike the Philips phones: too much closed sound and leaking of frequencies for my taste, but of course many people do like them. My sound impressions were pretty much the same though, Smooth...

    HRT MicroStreamer

      I agree, though I don't know whether it's just the upper midrange that's emphasized.

    HRT MicroStreamer

    Straight out of a MacBook's USB port. It's the HRT that emphasizes the mids a little in my opinion, the Meridian is just very 'well behaved and sophisticated'. It's very resolving and detailed, but not analytical at all, it's actually quite smooth. I don't think that the HD650 will have any...

    Reply to review by 'bosstooned' on item 'Musical Fidelity X-CANV8P'

    I've got the V8P too and it was never meant to be a Dac/Amp combo. It's a hybrid amplifier first and foremost, the dac is just a little add-on. I don't use the dac in my V8P anymore because I've got a better one connected to the line-in, but when I did use it I found it to be much preferable to...

    HRT MicroStreamer

      whoooa, good question, as I recall I believed the bass to be a bit bigger, but just as defined. One of the reasons the HRT pairs so well with the Beyer is the fact it keeps the bass in check, I didn't notice that on the Meridian. Meridian defines the high's a bit better so the soundstage...

      Haha, well that's exactly what I thought when I auditioned the HD800 for the first time (and every single time thereafter). Personal taste, I actually believe it does sound better than the HD 6X0's. I think they sound very smooth yet refined and detailed. Really interested in trying out that...

    I'm kind of interested how long you've had these. I own them too, and the audioquality seems to be fading, I just don't know whether the worn pads, broken cable or perhaps the drivers themselves are to blame here.

    Marshall Headphones Major

    I think these cans sound pretty decent. Yes it's a SUPER closed kind of sound, but it's pretty engaging and fun. I also noticed that they reproduce synth and keyboard sounds pretty vividly and defined. I might just get them if I find them being sold at a good price.
