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...

I was just wondering how that suspension band works? I've never seen one in person. I understand it's mostly leather? Is there a stretchy material by where it attaches? How does it attach to the headband?   Thanks,   Joshua

For awhile I've been thinking of some ideas for headphones that (mostly) haven't really been done before as far as rear chamber design goes. Generally, certain things haven't been tried because of both expense and the tendency to keep headphones as compact as possible. In fact most headphones...

How do you like it? Tried KT88 or 6550 tubes? What headphones and or speakers do you use with it?

My total system setup is Audio-Technica AD1000X w/Audeze microsuede pads--->Little Dot 1+ w/Sparko op amp and RTC5654RT (rebranded Mullard 8100 for French military)--->NuPrime uDSD dac--->laptop.   Now I really like this setup, it's the best I've heard but just a couple minor shortcomings. I...

What is your vote for any headphone ever made that most realistically reproduces acoustic instruments like the Violin, Cello, Piano etc.?

I saw the Feliks Elise thread but how is the Espressivo? Compared to Little Dot, Darkvoice and such?   Thanks,   Joshua

  I have this hooked up to my laptop and listening through my AD1000x (with Audeze microsuede pads) directly out of the headphone out on the NuPrime for a few days now. Before this I had my laptop hooked up to my vintage Luxman L-3 via a 3.5mm to rca. I also had the "loudness" button on the...

Also can you replace op amps in the Nobsound? It's newer so I haven't seen much on mods.   http://www.amazon.com/Nobsound%C2%AE-Vacuum-Integrated-Amplifier-Headphone/dp/B014FASL1A   http://www.amazon.com/Little-Dot-6JI-standard-Headphone/dp/B00A2QM5O6

Just something I was curious about. I currently have an Audio-Technica AD1000x (noticeable upgrade over AD900x), the previous best headphones I've owned were Beyerdynamic DT880 pro 250ohm. Now the AT is more fun and engaging with it's upfront mids/vocals and for this reason didn't expect it to...

Anyone ever make a comparison chart of  available dacs including the chips used?

I recently bought an AD900x after having owned an Ultrasone pro750 for awhile which I never liked that much because I felt they were inferior in about every way to the Beyerdynamic dt880 pro I used to own but sold when I badly needed money. The Ultrasone is thin sounding through the mids with...

You can't see the measurements very well but measuring from the lip that holds the pads on it's a rounded rectangle 95mm by 105mm with a diagonal of 120mm so I would say the equivalent of 110mm round. So I imagine a stretchy round pad that fits 110mm would work, any ideas?

I liked my DT880 better anyway but the Ultrasone pro 750 wasn't too bad. Just not as smooth sounding or comfortable. Today I went by Goodwill and found these for $6, quadrophonic headphones Realistic Nova44 (I use them in stereo mode from my Pioneer reciever ): Modded them to take care of a...

The best I've seen are the Turbulent-X drivers from Turbulent Labs. Most of the other headphone elements I've found for sale are for lower end headphones. Can you buy high end Beyer, AKG, Audio-Technica driver elements?

This is a thought experiment since I'm poor at the moment. Most headphone drivers I've seen are designed to be as small and thin as possible, this makes sense of course. To maintain high efficiency and light weight, they don't actually require long voice coils and huge magnets. However, I've...

Which headphone and what's your amp/digital train?

I was just curious, most headphones cover the front (ear side) of the driver with plastic or metal with a few holes punched. This always struck me as providing a severe reflective surface that would cause resonance and standing waves. Has anyone tried using something like hexagonal metal mesh or...

I owned the Grado SR80 before getting the DT880 (250ohm) which I thought was superior in every way. With the Beyer the whole frequency was much more extended and smoother. Bass went much lower but was tight and dry in a good way. Although I wouldn't mind a bit more impact for certain music...

The 900s are universally more popular but I Also notice that Ultrasone and the 900 are typecast as the go to basshead phones. From all the reviews I've read I'm more attracted to the Pro 750 and it's more balanced sound without the really recessed mids of the 900. I don't consider myself a...

Can anyone compare these two, especially mids, overall balance and detail? Particularly vocals and acoustic instruments? Thanks, Joshua

I've been looking into buying the Sony CD900ST and found out about the dedicated amp for them called the Navigator HPA-900 but I can't find any English language sites that sell them and only a few Japanese language sites. Anybody know where to get this amp imported to the Us? Anybody know...

I've owned the SR60 and SR80/I both many years ago and just last year. Most recently I owned the Beyer DT880 pro 250 ohm. While I think the Grado is an amazing value for the price, very clear and dynamic, listening to the Beyers confirmed some feelings I had about these Grados. Listening to the...
