Hi heads, I currently have an older x-fi Fatality.  I use the toslink out to get sound to my HeadRoom Desktop Amp with a built-in DAC. I got Sennheiser 650s hooked into the amp via Zu audio cable.   I want to get a new soundcard that supports both 5.1 or 7.1 speakers, a mic, as well as...

So the part they call the head band snapped (dont ask) and i need to get it replaced. It a very simple plastic piece. The phones, head padding, and another piece of plastic just slide and snap in. I called Sennheiser, and the piece costs 95 dollars (not including shipping)!!!!! I cant...

This is probably the simplest question for most of you. - I have a late 90's yamaha 5.1 receiver. - I have some Sennheiser wireless headphones - All my inputs are optical (CableBox + Media PC). Here's the problem: - If i simply use the headphone jack, I have to manualy turn off my...

Hey head-fi'ers, I finnaly got a headphone amp to get the ultimate sound in the following order of importance: 1. Games 2. All other (Music, DVD, etc) The amp i purchased has the DAC built in so i was going to run a TOSlink optical cable to the amp's DAC. Questions: 1. What do i...

Are these headphones considered low impeadance or high impeadance? Thanks in advance

I just spent 299 on a 4m cable for my Sennheiser HD650s and the v2connectors are a loose fit (especially the right). Ive seen a few threads talking about this issue and stuffing plastic straws was not the solution i was hoping for. Anyone have any suggestions???? Thanks in advance

I currently have a Sony ES series 5-disc changer. It think i paid around 300+ for it about 6-7 years ago. The quality of the sound is excellent compared to my 150 dollar cd player i had before that. Well recently the CD player stopped receiving remote control signals and it has to be...

What would a tube amp do for the sound of gaming. In particular, what would the machine guns in Battlefield 2 sound like coming though a tube amp versus a solid state amp. This is an amp i was considering: http://www.headphone.com/products/he...hybrid-amp.php Thanks

I dont see to many people talking about this amp or any headroom amps too often. I am new to headphone audio and was wondering what people thing of this amp for complementing a Sennheiser HD650 with Zu cables. http://www.headphone.com/products/he...esktop-amp.php Any opinions? Thanks in...

One day i was playing around with plugging and unplugging my optical connections between my cd player and reciever. I had both the cd player and receiver powered on at the time. Ever since then, my remotes stoped working on my cd player. I changed batteries, tried two different remotes...

I have 2 sources for my sony ES cd player. 1) My yamaha RXV-2095 receiver (an older 5.1 receiver one step below the DSP-A1 in the late 90s) 2) My headphone jack on the sony ED cd player itself. The connection to my Yamaha is optical/ toslink. Just curious which one in therory should be...

Can anyone recomend a high end recording of music containing the sitar? Something that is maybe in the electronica, star streams, or any genre for that matter. Thanks in advance

I have the Senn HD650s and am looking at getting a zu mobius cable. Which do you recommend: I like bass and detail. It will be used for about 70% gaming with the x-fi Fatal1ty (i want guns in BF2 to sound like they got some punch), and 30% classical music from a mid end Yamaha RX-V2095...

Is it a waste to buy this cable in the 1/4 size then throw the stock sennheiser 1/4 to 1/8 adapter on it? My source is 1/8. I would rather have the cable as 1/4 since most higher end sources are 1/4 if i decide to upgrade down the road. thanks in advance

Hello head-fi'ers, I want to find a high quality CD of classical music to listen to and run through my senn HD650s. I am looking for more of a clean digital recording than a rustic one. Although, i like to hear those string instruments in good detail. Probably what people like to use to demo...

How is the Senn V2 from http://www.headphile.com/page17.html Is this a good Senn cable replacement? I have a go-vibe v5 amp and my source is am xfi sound card. thanks

Hello all, I got a Govibe hooked up to my computer. My question is simple and applies to any configuration. When turning up the volume for myself, should i turn up the source (in this case my computer) or the amp (GoVibe)? Should i have the computer volume maxed out and just use the amp...

If i was to get the Cardas or Zu Mobius cables for my senns, will it be worth it if i have to use a 1/4 to 1/8 converter to plug them into a go-vibe???? Thanks in advance

Hello all, I just bought a Go-Vibe5 amp for my Senn 650 for my computer. What is the best way to set these up? Does this setup make sense (listed from source to heaphone), if not, please recommend how to hook up my three components: Soundblaster X-FI Fatal1ty front bay 1/4 inch output...

Hello all, I just bought a Go-Vibe5 amp for my Senn 650. I got a couple questions: 1) Does it negate getting a cable upgrade if i plug the new cable into the 1/4 to 1/8 converter that came with the sennheiser? 2) Does this setup make sense (listed from source to heaphone)...

Hello Head-Fi folks, A few questions: 1) Does anyone know anything about these amps? http://store.acousticsounds.com/brow...tion=equipment 2) Would they be a good match for an Sennheiser HD 650? 3) How does it compare to a PA2V2 Headphones Amplifier? Thanks in advance
