To the folks who have heard this combination, I'd like to hear your opinion: is the MG Head a good match for the K501? I currently use DT770 with the MG Head and keep the volume knob between 9 and 10 o'clock. So I don't think power will be the issue. But I've read several posts saying the...

Well, you won't believe this. At work, I use a MG Head tube amp and it's a great conversation piece around the office. So a co-worker who just joined the group brought me the headphones he just got last week: MDR-CD780. Now, I hadn't read Head-Fi in weeks, so I didn't know anything about the...

Hello all, I haven't posted in over a year I think. Consider this my return At home, I still prefer to listen to my stereo (with tube amps!), but at work, headphones are the only way. I'm hoping you guys can help me out with a little problem of mine. I'm looking for a new set of cans to use...

http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/h...xedouthome.htm A good positive review by Doug Schneider. He found the new version to be an improvement over the original version he owns. Enjoy!

I was just listening to MTV and thinking how little bass there was when compared to CDs and maybe even FM radio. So, what's the "frequency response" of cable TV? 60Hz-10kHz ? I tried searching on the web, but all I could get were the frequencies at which the signals are transmitted (channel x...

I love the vinyl sound, but I think CDs will remain my main source for a while. My system is quite lo-fi (see profile), so the turntable I'd like to add to it needs to be cheap. I'm looking to spend under $200. Is there anything worth it in this price range? Shopping around, I saw a few Sony...

How are those headphones? Have anyone hear them? It looks like it could be a pretty good deal for portable use: sennheiser, 32-Ohm, 103dB efficiency, closed, $50. You think we can expect "Sennheiser sound" from those, or "cheap closed-can sound" ?

I was in my roommate's room and he happened to have a good track on one of his deck (turntable). I figured I needed a break, so I put on the headphones and started playing it. Now, you have to understand the setup: 2 turntables hooked up to a DJ mixer. Those mixers have a cross-fader to do the...

Here an old standard we don't hear much about. From the few reviews I read, it seems like they have a non-fatiguing sound (yet detailed), are very comfortable and very well built. For about $100, and sometimes as low as $80, wouldn't it be a killer headphone for long listening sessions? Now...

http://shop.store.yahoo.com/hogwildstore/mdrv6.html I thought I'd share the URL above, as most people seem to accept DJMart's price of $79 as the standard. Although I did not buy from Hogwild Store (I'm in Canada), I e-mailed them and they replied within 5 hours. I was really impressed.

Hey there, Would any of you know where you can buy a pair of V6 in Canada? Seems tough to find. I know they are $80 at DJMart.com, but with the current exchange rate (+ shipping and customs), I'd rather buy them locally. Many thanks!

Rega EAR Headphone amp. Any comments? How is the sound? What headphones does it suit best? How much should one expect to pay for a used one? Thanks!

I'm considering it to upgrade the JVC XL-MC334BK 200-CD changer we have in the living room. My roommates and I listen to a lot of trance music (a.k.a. "club", "dance"), and we find the JVC is lean on the bass. The PlayStation 2 has a better sound.... I saw the California Audio Lab Gamma is...

(This is a CD I recently discovered. I love it. And I think it's a great introduction to jazz. So, if you have no jazz CDs, do yourself a favor, and get it. It's also a great addition to a jazz connoisseur’s collection) I don't know much about jazz. In fact, I only have 4 jazz CDs in my...

If they are the same headphones, how come the 7506 cost way more? You can find the V6 for about $75, and the 7506 are more around $110. While we are at it, anyone noticed how similar the V500DJ and the 7505 look? Again, a big price difference. I wonder how similar the sound is...? The V500DJ...

The V700DJ, 7505, 7506 and 7509. All very sexy The pictures are HUGE, so I'll only put the V700DJ to give you an idea. Those cans were stolen from an android of the planet Kappa-Bjoink. Look at the headband on the 7509. It looks so comfy...

Looking at pro audio stores on the net, I see a lot of cheap headphone amp. Most of them in the $100-200 range. Most have 5 outputs rated at 500mW (and my portable has 9mW!). Some have fairly impressive specs, like the $130, 5-channel Samson Q5: 500mW per channel (600 Ohm), 484mW (250...

HI-FI Choice, "The finest hi-fi magazine online", rates the JVC HA-DX3 (200 UK pounds) higher than the Senn 580 and the Grado 325. http://www.hifichoice.co.uk/review_l...category=HDPHN Are they insane, or have we just overlooked the JVC because of brand name? Does anyone here own a pair of...

I have the following problem. When I play a CD and my receiver is OFF, I get a buzzing sound at certain high frequencies (guitars mainly, some piano notes). As soon as I turn the receiver ON, the buzzing disapears. I plug my Grado SR60 straight into my CD player's headphone jack. Any one knows...
