    Sennheiser HD 25-1-II and HD 25 SP, what is the main difference?

    The HD 25-SP are a lower quality version of the HD 25-1. Not as efficient (quieter), and higher impedance. The HD 25-1 is worth the extra.

    HeadRoom Amp: Which one?!

    It is just not a problem, no gaps in sound and it is easy to set any desired volume.

    HeadRoom Amp: Which one?!

    The Stepped Attenuator is good, it has a firm and positive clicking action. Combined with the gain switch it is very easy to set the desired volume with different sources and headphones.

    Anything similar to Franz Ferdinand?

    I agree, the Oranges & Lemons remaster is not an improvement.

    Anyone else like listening to Jonathan Richman?

    Yes, The New Teller and Roadrunner in particular.

    Any MiniDisc users here?

    I have several Sony MD/HIMD units: MZ-RH1, MZ-NH600, MDS-JE530 and MZR-501. All have the Sony SQ but fall down on the Sonic Stage software. For everyday general use once you have used iTunes + iPod there is just no going back. For recording however MD is still good.

    Headphones for an Ipod (closed style)

    Another vote for the HD 25-1- II, they are small, efficient, and make a great closed portable.

    Amy Winehouse, Back to Black. Is it supposed to sound like crap?

    I think they were trying for a classic 60s sound. Interesting CD but I do not enjoy the production.

    Anyone bought a Xin amp in the UK?

    There is a 60% chance of being charged duty. If you are unlucky add about 22% to the combined price of goods and shipping costs.

    Hard to believe that this great album had just been gathering dust for 36 years.

    Recommendation for something different from AKG k701

    Another vote for the Sennheiser HD650s.

    Senn HD25 II - a good choice?

    I also really like the HD 25s, they are small, efficient, and make a great closed portable.

    Portable amp to power sennheiser 650 without fatigue?

    Kasper, I agree, I use the Hornet and HD 650s, fine smooth sounding combination.

    Creek OBH-21SE, really worth??

    There never was much love on this forum for the Creek headphone amps. The earlier version of amps, the OBH11s had good sound quality and a solid, if basic build. However the use of cheap components attracted much criticism here at the time and Creeks reputation never recovered. The OBH 21 amps...

    Chri5peed, thanks for answering. I want to order a Headroom DPS, but I am still uncertain as to how the import charges will work out.

    DRUMMER NEEDING HIGH ISOLATION!!

    The Beyer DT 770M is a closed back headphone designed for drummers. It has very good ambient noise attenuation, good audio quality, high sound pressure level, good secure fit, and a single-sided cable with a volume control. However you will need an amp with an ipod to get the best from them.

    Which is the better ALBUM, DSOTM or Sgt. Pepper

    For me it has to be DSOTM.

    Sony DAP role call!

    I have several Sony MD/HIMD units: MZ-RH1, MZ-NH600, MDS-JE530 and MZR-501. All sound great and have the Sony SQ but fall down on the software. For everyday general use once you have tasted iTunes + iPod there is just no going back to Sonic Stage.

    Grateful Dead Fans...your recommendation

    Agree, K-701s work well with The Grateful Dead’s early albums.
