Hello, just had a couple questions. I first owned the DT880 pro 250ohm a few years ago. Went to it from a Grado SR80 and while the Grado was very dynamic and nice mids the highs were overly aggressive and the lows took a nosedive after the midbass hump. The DT880 was very smooth top to bottom...

I'm aware Bronze is heavy, thats part of why I said I'm not sure how practical it would be yet. I've seen those Grado style Bronze (or brass?) gimbals before, but couldnt find them for sale anywhere. Franco Serblin is dead btw. Though I suppose his family or Sonus Faber could sue me if they want...

It will be awhile before I can even start it as I'm moving in a couple months to Washington state. Next step is to aquire more headphones and amps for a baseline reference. It's a design I've had in mind for a few years. It's a rectangular design, sort of like Stax with a big internal volume and...

Thanks for the link. I'm doing a semi-closed but vented with multiple types of damping to tune it. Totally custom driver housing ear-cup section. Its a long term project. I'm not starting it till this winter or spring when I start prototyping. I don't want to go into too much detail but its a...

Elleven Acoustics Epsilon G1 vs Symphones V8.1 vs Turbulent X vs Nhoord Red I can barely keep up with them all! Anyway I'm looking into raw drivers for my own headphone project which will be completely different than Grado, more like Fostex TH-XXX or Denon DXX00 series but larger enclosure (but...

Wait, what? Overly warm in stock form? My whole issue with the T90 in stock is the rising response all through the upper range and overly forward upper mids through treble. Its harsh and in your face to an almost painful level and I used to own lower end Grado. I loved the detail on the T90's...

Not common for headphone amps, but common for bigger amps. It can take KT88's and that whole family. Tons of tube options there (and can get really expensive)

There is an amp I may try, I almost forgot, been wanting it for years. The Musical Paradise MP-301mkIII. http://www.musicalparadise.ca/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=54

Even my Little Dot 1+ (with upgraded tubes and op-amps) helps the T90. The thicker pads help and I removed the front felt and put it behind the driver. Serious sound absorbing mods like they do with the Fostex would probably help too. There is nothing seriously wrong with the sound and its...

Is the LD 1+ decent enough? I read where someone said it wasn't a good match. Although mine is modded with the best op amps and good tubes.

Was thinking of trying the HD650 and need a good amp. I currently have the Little Dot 1+ which isn't really ideal. Now in the short run, I would probably be limited to getting something like the Little Dot mkII. I just wanted to see if any new suggestions for amps for the HD650 have come up...

I should try the 1540 pads on the T90 and see if they fit better than the Audeze. The Audeze pads are so loose, they fall off easily.

The dt880 pads were better than the T90 pads IMO. The dt880 was the most comfortable headphones I ever wore when I first got them. But the Audeze micro-suede pads are a whole new level. Beyer pads are not really difficult to put on or take off. Easy to try other pads. I double check other pads...

Beyer DT880 pro 250ohm. I paid $230 when I got mine several years back. Worked great even on my phone. I never really heard the infamous high frequency peak. Had the smoothest and most accurate tonal balance of any headphone I've heard. Wish I had heard it on a good tube amp, the mids were...

Am I the only person that's pad modded the T90's? I got the chrome versions on sale awhile back for $350. I also own the Audio-Technica ad1000x, previously owned the ad900x (for a short time till I bent the plug) also used to own the Beyer dt880 250ohm pro and Grado before that. To me, the...

I've owned both the sr60 and 80 a couple times. I thought they were good for the price range. But I have two major issues with my limited Grado experience. First is the midbass hump and the response falling off a cliff right below it with no low bass at all. I compare them to mini-monitor...

Little Dot 1+ should do better for low impedence phones. I believe the Mark II is more suited to high impedence phones. I have a 1+ but not the 1060 yet.

LOL! Nice! I thought about doing almost exactly the same thing with mini full range 2-3" speakers. I even narrowed down my selection of drivers but never got around to trying it. Btw, did you upgrade the op-amps in the Gustard yet?

Just to chime in, I have a T90 chrome edition I listen through my upgraded Little dot 1+. I don't think most people bother to experiment with pad rolling (other brands) on Beyer headphones just because stock pads are so good. But I have angled Audeze microsuede pads on my T90 and it's really...

I thought I would do a short review of the T90 chrome edition I bought a few months ago. First a background on headphones I've owned previously. Over the years I've had Sony mdr-v6, Grado sr60/80, Ultrasone pro750 and Beyerdynamic dt880 (my previous favorite). The Grado and Ultrasone tended to...

I never found the T90 unpleasantly bright from the sources I tried but I currently have them hooked up to my Little Dot tube amp. The do have a mild high frequency emphasis but it sounded pretty balanced to me. But I'm also using them with different pads now which reduce the highs even more...

Beyerdynamic T90 with foam pad mod (front foam pad moved from front of driver to behind it) and Audeze micro-suede earpads.

I'm trying out the Audeze micro-suede angled pads on the T90. Technically they are too big (don't fit snug) but are usable. The effect I've noticed so far is the increased distance between ear and driver has a couple of differences. First the sound is thicker/warmer which might be interpreted as...

How are the IFi amps with the T90? https://www.amazon.com/Micro-iDSD-Headphone-Amplifier-Octa-Speed-Double-Speed/dp/B01D40AQJ2 Or the Feliks Audio Elise?
