The HD590's have a lighter sound then that of the HD580's and/or 600s. Most people will agree with that. And alot of people prefer the darker sound of the 580/600 models. Personally I'm the otherway around. I happened to like the HD590 sound better then 580/600 for the very same reason why...

I own the Sennhieser HD590 headphones. I've had them so far for about eight months. The ear pads have became alot more soft. There not flat yet, but pretty soft where they compress quite a bit when I'm wearing my 'phones. All this does is make my ears perspire more. I live to very base heavy...

PM JMT and tell him your price range. Best thing to do is ask his price on his maxed out META42, then if the price is to high, which it should be aroud y our budget it. You can have him help you degrade it to you budget. Don't expect him or others to come to you. If your serious, you need to...

Have you jiggled the headphone cord around a bit? Out of no were my headphones sounded really weak and distored, the volume was like one third of what it used to be, I thought I blew the headphones out but then played with the cord and found it to be the problem. I ended up having JMT put...

Lint free soft cloth, the kind used for jewlery work best. And just some contact solution. Thats what I do. Cleans real well. Also, make sure your laser on your CD player is clean. The sun as well as UV rays can take a heavy toll on CD's. Once that happens there is little to do...

The wig heads are not only creepy, but all the male heads looked kinda gay. Not dumb gay, dude wearing lipstip gay. lol I'd think a wooden head would be cool, or even one of them none face, somewhat robitic looking, plastic/metal heads that you see in department stores would be real cool...

A META42's price really ranges. It's so customizble, you can spend as little as $80 aprox or almost up to $300. Things like crossfeed, gold plated RCA jacks, higher quality materials, the case you choose, all affect the price. $200-$300 for a decent one I'd say. Also depends on who your getting...

Looks like I made up my mind, an amp isn't that good of a buy for me...right now. As for the cables, I'm not spending oddiles of money, I'm getting a used pair of monster cables from a fellow head-fi'er and I need a strong and durable replacment cable. I'm spending under $70 bucks. I only have a...

see... i'm not nuts! Quote: Originally posted by JaZZ ...I agree with you: the Studio 20 sounds better than many PCDPs. I agree, the Archos Studio 20 does not 'need' to be amped by any means. Well the corda cost about what $600 or close to it? Do you think the corda was worth...

the archos studio 20 does have a line out, next to the headphone jack.

I have a few adapters that came with my cheap $10 headphones, and I have some $2 adapters purchased at radioshake and even some a $6 adapter set purchased at WalMart. My favorit adapter would have to be the ones that came with my Sennheiser HD590 headphones. It's gold plated, looks great, &...

lol, alright, you just make sure you do a A - B comparison for us. If you can take some pictures too. Did you get the standard white ones or the black ones, I'm courious how the blackones look. The headphone bug is a bitch an't it. I know it sure bit me on my ass. Originally I just wanted the...

Sidetracking here a little: I been thinking about trying Monkey Audio... just wish my MP3 player supported it. I'm surprised monkey audio hasn't been the rage. After all you can't really get better then a non lossy format. I hear alot of good things about the monkey audio format. Getting...

Good and inexpensive?..hmm... whats your price range. I seen some Monster Cable brand at BestBuy for about $30 bucks. Also there are some DIY'ers like JMT and others that will make a custom cable for you. Also how long of a cable do you need?

I bet my best bet is to buy a few pairs of the HD 590 replacement cables. Have one always plug'ed into my computer, another pluged into my MP3 player and the third pluged into my CD player.lol, that way I'm sure to not over wear out the cable. Or would i end up just wearing out the other end...

Quote: I don't believe the soundcard has anything whatsoever to do with the process of ripping from CD's and converting to mp3. I was thinking the same thing. I didn't think the soundcard had anything to do with it. I bet if I riped a uberstandard (which is using the Lame...

I remember I had a similar prob. My family kepted changing the wallpaper and just doing little things that buged me. So i created diffn't accounts, and passworded mine. But then they always seemed to mess up their account. I ended up just installing Lycoris Desktop/LX which is a Linux distro...

As for what that headwize thread was talking about... I didn't even take that into consideration. It's not so much a big improvment in sound I was looking for, I just wanted some ultra strong cables that can handle some serious abuse. I'm forever pluging in and out the cables. I know it takes...

I have the HD590, I got them because they are much easier to drive them the HD 580. You really don't need an amp with them. Currently I dont have an amp. I plug my headphones either directly to my Archos Jukebox Studio 20 MP3 player, my Panisonic portable cd player, my stereo reciever, or...

What I'm doing is, using my computer to rip the CD's at 192 VBR using the best Lame codec and using the Exact Audio Copy software to rip at Uberstandard quality. I'll either listen unamped, simply pluging my headphones to the MP3 player's headphone jack directly or I'll plug in the RCA to...

For a while I would use my Panisonic portable CD play. The quality was pretty good for me anyways. Just recently I purchases the Archos Jukebox Studio 20 MP3 player. I encoded most of my CD albums to Uberstandard quality rips. I'm told and from the sounds of it, the MP3's are in fact CD quality...

Hmm, no cable in that price range eh? Alright then how much should I be looking to spend? The stock cables sound nice enough, I'm not looking for a major improvement, if anything, so long as the sound is equal to that of the stock cables. The main thing is that the plug is more...

Personally, I like my Archos Jukebox Studio 20 MP3 player. It's 20 GB, it only cost me $199 - $215 after taxes. Brand new. The Archos fits in my shirt pocket just fine. Although it's only USB support and some people need the super fast Firewire support. I only have USB 1.0/1.1 so I'm limited...

I own the Archos Studio Jukebox 20 MP3 player. Love it to death. I thought my Panisonic portable CD player sounded good, but the archos kicks the pants off it. I rip all my CD's to Uberstandard (which is 100% true CD quality mp3/ogg rips) and upload them to my Archos Jukebox. I was almost...
