Focal SPIRIT PROFESSIONAL Impressions thread
I've owned these for almost a year and I can't express how much I love them. The more I listen to them, the more impressed I am. A few months ago, I got myself the HD600s as my first open cans, and totally thought they'd be an upgrade. When I listened to them, I was very surprised that, even...- rosie bowers

Music that makes you cry?
(Non-exhaustive list, I tend to ugly cry to music. I'm a wimp) - The Marriage of Figaro's last scene, each, and. every. time (it's Pavlovian; the count starts calling "gente, gente, all'armi, all'armi!", I start blubbering) - Monteverdi's Lamento della Ninfa - Bach's aria "Ich habe genug"...- rosie bowers

DT 660 vs ATH-MSR7
Hi! I'm thinking of getting a closed, easy to drive headphone with a neutral or *slightly* bright sound for classical. I like a fair amount of detail, but not to the point of being ferociously unforgiving, and a decent soundstage. I've narrowed it down to Beyerdynamic DT 660 or Audio-Technica...- rosie bowers

Where to have a HRT microStreamer repaired?
Hi! I bought a HRT microStreamer in late January . It was working fine out of the box but the headphone output has developed a problem (sounds like a bad contact as far as I can tell). At first I could manage by fidgeting with my headphone jack, but it's gotten progressively worse and now my...- rosie bowers

NAD Viso HP50s. I've been hunting for weeks for my first pair of "nice" headphones (I'm not an audiophile by any stretch of the imagination) but couldn't find anything I really loved both in terms of sound and comfort until I finally found these. So comfy and sound fabulous. Only problem is the...- rosie bowers

A question for glasses wearers
I have brand new headphones which I love to pieces and don't want to return, but a problem is that the branches of my glasses tend to squeak again the earpads when I move my head . It's not a deal breaker but it sure is annoying. Is there anything I can do (apart from not wearing my glasses when...- rosie bowers
