Hi, I'm looking for headphones that i plan to use them only on planes / flights, not interested on active noise cancelling headphones as they give me a headache after long sessions, tried bose, sony, audiotechnia, and all have the same result. I'm looking for recommendations of well design...

So i just bought an Philips Fidelio X1/28 + V-MODA BoomPro for pure gaming, mostly for the PS4.  So i come to you just to help me finish it the best way to set it up.   1) I see lots use the astro mix amp, but i see some say the old one is better... so which would you recommend?   2) What...

I finished a haswell build and to my misfortune im having issues with the included Realtek 1150, in the past i had nightmares with Creative and their drivers, to the point that on my PC i use only realtek and accepted the worst sound for stability.  But im willing to go into a dedicated sound...

Hi,   Just wondering what do you guys use to test or audition headphones.  I'm just looking for suggestions, even though this is very subjective to each personal likings, mostly music/sound tracks that can push headphones to their limits and maybe discover flaws in their design.   Thanks...

Hi, Im looking for a new amp, I already own Perreaux SXH1 and a PPA, both of them have thier own strengths/weakness, and I like and will keep both. But still Im looking for an amp more transparent, fast, more dynamic, with more detail, and less warmth. My budget is not so big, $400-500. The...

HI, I just bought a motorola handsfree, and I dont like either the sound nor the fit, I cant stand it for more than 10 minutes, it hurts really bad. So Im thinking on adapting some MX400 or MX500. Do you think it should work?

Hi, I have some questions maybe you can help me, I was just reading that is bad for a PPA to unplug the headphones while the amp is powered and playing music, 1) What could happen? What could be damage? and what to look or hear for? 2) Does it happen always? 3) Does it happen also with...

Hi, I have been searching this forum for cool knobs (silver or black) for volume and also push buttons for on/off switch and for the bass boost for a PPA. I have found some very nice looking but most of them dont have links where I could buy them. If you have any knobs and push buttons...

Hi, I just wanted to check with you guys if a passive pre out on PPA is possible, using RCA outputs. Do you have any downside or possible problems that can happen because of trying to do this? (I want to do something like Perreaux SXH1 or Corda Prehead or Grace 901) Thanks, Abula

Im realatively new to this area, I bet this subject is cover a lot, but since there the search is not working, I wanted to ask if you guys could explain what does Crossfeed means in HP amps? how does it work?

Hi, I was just wondering on how much a standard PPA can deliver (using it with the ELPAC). Have anybody tested a PPA regarding the power under different resistances like 32 ohm 64 ohm 250 ohm 300 ohm Thanks, Pablo

I just want to know if there could be problems with amps in general driving them to full volume (Besides earing damage), Im asking this because I have highly efficient heaphones and with the amp that Im powering them I dont have any problem, but when I plug my DT770-250 I have to reach to the...

Hi, I know the less path the signal has to go the better, but Im adding an HP setup to my dedicete music and HT room. I will be sending the signal thru my A/V Reciever, and I dont know if the TAPE OUT is better than the ANALOG OUT? what do you think is the best way? Thanks,

Im looking for places to buy GRACE 901, maybe you can tell me where and for how much did you got it. Thanks,

I already bought the amp, and its on the way, but I dont know if it will be able to drive DT770-250 to its capabilities. Im really looking to get a Larocco Deluxe PPA but I was hoping on using it on my music setup, but I can make the swap for the perreaux and use the PPA for the DT770, since the...

Hi, I just found this heaphone amp, and maybe somebody here already has some experience with it, maybe its good for $100? Presonus HP4 4 Channel Distribution Amplifier with Control Room Outputs

Hi, I have use always AR IC in HT, now that im in HP, im looking for something a little better. I just bought CD3000 and a Perraux SXH1, and I was looking at AudioQuest Copperhead Interconnect Do you think is worth the $$$, or do you think I should buy AR IC? Thanks, Pablo

Hi, Im new to headphones, but I have had HT for quite some time, and reading lately that many manufacturers are researching and developing good A/V recievers with digital amps (like Panasonic SA-XR45K), I was wondering if any manufaturer of headphone amps have design one, or if they are good...

Hi, Im new to this hobby, but Im trying to learn quickly. I want to buy A900 or CD3000, both are very efficient headphones, but still I wanted to know some things 1) A heaphone jack output of a reciever provides the same amplification as an entry level Heaphone amp (I have this two...
