I´m sitting here listening to my HD650s which arrived today (for the second time), which are the latest version with the silver screen. I also got my LT1364 today, the reason why this is my second listening session. First time was with the OPA2107, this second time with the all new LT1364. The...

Yes, in fact I was quite surprised to see my Sylvania Gold 408A the first time. They glow around the same brightness as my former WE408A, but with a more redish color, while WE408A were more yellowish. So both orange, but one to the brighter side, and one to the darker.

I´ve tried a pair of Sennheiser HD650 which are 300Ohm on my LD I+ (with WE408A & Stock opamp) and I didn´t have any trouble, getting high enough volume or any apparent sonic faults, might not have been ideal, but I wouldn´t mind using a pair of HD650s on my LD I+, and this was with the gain set...

So, today I recieved my new OPA2107, and as promised I will try to give my impressions on the changes versus the standard opamp. First thing I noticed was that the volume seemed lower than before, when I had the standard opamp I couldn´t go much further than around the 10 mark, and now with...

Maybe this would work(?): 2Pcs PCB MONO TO DUAL OPAMP OPA627AM/BP/AP OPA637 AD797 - eBay (item 280284951563 end time Nov-19-08 04:53:55 PST) Can´t say for sure, but could work. If anyone else knows they can fill in.

Alright, I think I´ll just go ahead and buy the 2107, seems like the easier choice. And no I think that auction for the 627s is 1 piece only, and that adapter looks like it just has 1 opamp soldered to it.

So if I understand correctly can I buy these: 2xDual Low Noise HiFi OpAmp Pro audio OPA2107AP OPA2107 - eBay (item 110304246328 end time Nov-25-08 01:35:47 PST) And just use 1 of them, or do I need some kind of adapter to use 2? And if I once more understand this right, these are used in a...

So I´m getting interested in this OPamp swapping, just that I have no experience of that at all, so I don´t know which will work for this amp, which are generally thought as "the best". I´m pleased with the amp as is though, but still intrigued at what changes can be had by switching the OPamp.

Sounds just like what happened to my HD570s a few years back, just bought a new original Sennheiser cable, and then they were back in business.

Hi guys. I joined team Little Dot I+ today, I ordered it last tuesday, so it got here really fast. So far I must say that I am impressed. The first impression when unpacking was that it looks really cool, with it´s all black glossy finish. I think it´s even better looking than the Mk4SE I...

there are 2 other options: 1. 2x RCA cable (bundled with the PS3) 2. Optical digital cable

You could also check out A-T ESW9, for a more portable solution, also if I remember correctly the genres of music you mentioned are very much talked about for being suitable to the ESW9, in the "official thread". http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/woo...d-pics-263985/

About the extension cable I can really recommend this one: Headphone Extension Cable for Grado & Sennheiser - eBay (item 200227080953 end time Jun-05-08 11:59:21 PDT) Reasonably priced, and has a really nice quality feel for the price.

One thing that I´ve been wondering for a while now is how does the deeper regions of bass of the AD2ks compare to the HD650s? I recently auditioned a pair of HD650s that have been used very much (so they were burnt in and also had no clamping that I´ve been reading about on this forum). And I...

Out of my experiences I would rank them: 1. Sennheiser HD570, lightweight with reaaaally soft pads. I think they would be the same as previously mentioned HD590. These are so far the only 'phones I have tried that I could wear all day without being bothered by them I think. 2. Sennheiser...

Quote: Originally Posted by Skylab The Denon has much tighter bass than the ESW9. I disagree strongly that the D5000 has sloppy bass. Not as tight as the DX1000, but not sloppy. The ESW9, on the other had, is a bit loose on the bottom. Alright, then those could really be a option...

Haven´t had any experience with the other 2 mentioned, but I´ll second the ESW9s. I love how they sound good with the whole range of the piano, from low to high.
