    Reply to review by 'johan r' on item 'Nokia Lumia 635'

    Well, it's been a while since I listened to it now, so my description might not be 100 % spot on, but I found the Lumia 635 to lack every bit of detail, and producing a warm, too warm sound signature where everything just melted together. It felt like it was played through a early budget mp3...

    Reply to review by 'johan r' on item 'Nokia Lumia 635'

    Hmm, funny, because my opinion is the direct opposite. Bought the Lumia 635 as a replacement phone between my HTC One (m7) and One+ One. I actually found that it sounded a lot worse than those two phones, which I compared it directly to. To me, it was such a downgrade that I actually refrained...

    hfb - Zones - 150+ albums to hear in 2014 so far

    Not what I was saying, but just a line at the bottom "I used website X,Y and Z for most of my inspiration". Chances are, if someone likes this list, they'll probably like theneedledrop aswell so it's great for everyone to be transparent with your inspiration/sources.

    hfb - Zones - 150+ albums to hear in 2014 so far

    Without trying to sound rude, haven't you taken quite a lot of inspiration from theneedledrop? Feels like half the choices are albums that he praised in reviews.  No problem with that per se, but I just think that credit should be given where credit is due.

    The need for amplifiers

    Welcome, and I'm terribly sorry about your wallet.     Okay, first of all. Perform optimally is subjective. What you think sound good may or may not be what I find to sound good.   Secondly, perform optimally makes it sound so digital (either good or bad). Analog audio is instead a greyarea...

    Best android music player app?

    If someone's missed it, foobar is building a music player for android/ios (and maybe wp8.1). Might be something to look into.    It's crowdsourced so if you think they will do a good job you can contribute and get alpha/beta access. (I haven't though, waiting for full release) .

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Looking forward to that, paid 80 $ shipping + 175 $ customs for a valhalla 2, modi and a sys. Was a pain in the bum to say the least :)

    DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread

    Hi, I'm looking for some paracord for my Mogami m2495 (7mm) cable. From what I've gathered, 550 paracord is a bit thin? But where can you find a better fit?

    Mavericks Tubemagic D1+, swap headphone amp!

    Hi, I have had my Tubemagic D1+ for a couple of weeks now, but I have an issue. With all my headphones (HD25, Allessandro MS2, and AKG 551) I have had some "distorted background sounds"/"noicy" sound. This tells me (as the nuub I am) that the amp is probably way to powerfull for my current...

    Recommendations for 200-250 Headphones + A bunch of nubbish questions. :P

    As you said, the v-modas and the momentums, but you should also take a look at the HD25s. But as allways, sound is subjective, try to find somewhere to sit down and listen to all of them :)

    Is FLAC better than 320 MP3?

    Well, FLAC is better per definition, the real question is; Can you hear the difference?  I have personally come to find that I 9/10 cannot, simple as that. In some rare instances that I can hear the difference it's always the same instrument, cymbals and to be honest, it doesn't alter my...

    Brand new, wanted an assessment

    Without having read the whole thread and just answering your first question of "fun, but still near neutral" headphones, I think you should atleast take a glance at the Grado headphones, I think the RS2i is just within your pricerange.

    Alessandro Music Series 2, less "open" than SR325i? Or any tips on how to ship the RS2i's to Sweden?

    Yeah, offcourse, and I have listened to the 325i's but the swedish hifi market isnt that big which means that no retailer Imports them. Unfortunantly.

    Alessandro Music Series 2, less "open" than SR325i? Or any tips on how to ship the RS2i's to Sweden?

    Hi,     I've been looking into upgrading my headphones and I've settled on the Alessandro MS 2's. Or so I thought, until l read somewhere (can't remember where) that they are a bit less "open" sounding than the Grado SR325i's. Which is exacly what I'm looking for. The problem? Every Grado...

    Becoming a better listener...

    As a not too experienced Head-Fi.er my feedback is mostly on the musiclistening.       If you have to ability, try to pick up and play a guitar, or bass or any other instrument of choice you probably should, I think that me just learning the basics of electric and aucustic guitar made me...

    Looking for new headphones and Dac/Amp to pair with active speakers. (Alessandro MS Pro + Audioengine D1?)

    Yeah, offcourse, but I will probably want to opamp aswell, and to be fair, the price difference isn't that big between the standard modell and the fully upgraded one.

    Looking for new headphones and Dac/Amp to pair with active speakers. (Alessandro MS Pro + Audioengine D1?)

    The more I read the more I lean towards the Tubemagic, both due to the I/O and the upgrade potential. Probably going to buy the fully upgraded though ($254).   Anyone know how the Tubemagic D1 Plus plays with the Alessandro MS Pro's? (or the MS2's if I decide to take the cheaper route)

    Looking for new headphones and Dac/Amp to pair with active speakers. (Alessandro MS Pro + Audioengine D1?)

    After some more digging and help from a great member here at head-fi, I took a closer look at the tubemagic dac. Anyone havet any input? If anyone know hos it compares to the Audioengine D1 and the two Audio-GD dac/amps it would be awesome :)

    Looking for new headphones and Dac/Amp to pair with active speakers. (Alessandro MS Pro + Audioengine D1?)

    Well, I've been getting more and more into the MS Pro's. If I understand it correctly they are a modified RS1i? Since I obviously cannot listen to the Alessandro headphones, i'll be trying to get an listened of those.   So you think that the Audioengine D1 or similar is sufficient for the...

    Looking for new headphones and Dac/Amp to pair with active speakers. (Alessandro MS Pro + Audioengine D1?)

    Been looking into it a bit more and the more I've been thinking about it, the more I realize the advantage of a unit which does not an external power supply. But maybe there's no choice if you want a more potent Amp?
