Well, I asked Kingwa, and here is what he said: Quote: 1, Maybe your wall outlet no earth wire, or the earth wire bad connect. You can check if bad connect, be I advice you find a electrician technician to do this. 2, Reversal the power cable connect to wall outlet. I think the power...

Well, I got the AKG K271 Mk II largely on the strength of reviews out here. I wanted a can that could do vocals well, and the K271 was one of those that have been consistently suggested out here and is various reviews as well. Though for the most part, I'm pretty happy with them, I just...

Could someone help me out here? Could you kind of run your fingers on the top plate of the C2C when it's plugged into power / and compare to when it's not plugged in to power? Does it feel any different? I'm definitely getting the "current" kind of feel when it's plugged in. And I don't...

^^ Just a quick update - I've had it running for about 30mins or so now, and that "current" feeling has disappeared. So it definitely wasn't the finish of the top plate or anything. Anyone else experience that? EDIT: Now it's back, weird. Same thing on the front and side plates.

Just got my C-2C!! Quick question though, is it safe to stack my DAC right on top of it? I was just also wondering, when I place my hand on the top plate, it *almost* feels like there is some sort of current running through it. I'm just not sure though. I don't feel it when my hand is...

^ Thanks man, I'm leaning towards new cans as well. Since both my cans are closed, maybe open cans will be a nice change. A lot of reviews recommended the K271 for vocals, which is why I got them, but for some reason, I'm just not that happy, it's like there's something missing. Vocals...

Just looking for all your thoughts here: My current set-up is currently: Laptop with Foobar playing FLAC to a Keces DA-151 DAC and to a Dared MP-5. Cans are an AKG K271 and an AT A900. I've been thinking of getting either a C2-C or Corda Swing - OR - a K701 or DT880. Music is...

Any thoughts on this? Although I believe the Swing just came out, so not very many people probably have 'em yet. I've been eyeing a C2C because of all the press here, plus it's pretty much right within the max of my budget. But then I saw the Swing at pretty much the same price, and since...

Heeelp! I've got a Corda 2Move and I'm trying to figure out how to set it to low gain. I've read the manual, opened it up and looked inside. I've know nothing about the technology in these things, btw. But anyways, I see the metal-like thingies that are standing up. Then there are...

Mind if I jump in here as well, don't want to start a whole new thread just for for these - But I was just wondering - so you basically can't use the UM1/UM2 like standard non-over-the-ear IEM's? You have to run them back and around your ears? Also, how is cable noise on these things...

^ thanks man. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? downloaded wasapi.dll, dropped it in the components folder, checked the components node in the Foobar preferences and it shows wasapi output support, ver 1.2 I'm running a Dared MP5 dac/amp through USB - it shows up as a "Burr-Brown Japan...

Looks like the K701/K702 are almost out of the equation then. Thanks guys I have been curious about the higher end Senns, from reading all the reviews and stuff. Though I owned a PX100 and have listened to an HD555 (?) briefly - unfortunately, I just don't think the Senn sound is for me...

Thanks for the replies. Hmm.. definitely something to think about. If it goes as bright as the Grado's, then I might have to seriously re-think then. It pains me that I can't afford to keep more than 1 headphone, lol, hehe. I'll look into the K601 as well, thanks. Also looking into the...

Read up some more on amps and stuff - Taking into account my budget and what's available to me locally as well - I've come up with a short list below - what would you recommend for a K701 or a K702, or maybe a K501 or K601.. Dared MP5 as amp + Music Fidelity V-DAC or Meier...

Would you recommend the MP5 over a Meier Cantate.2 for a K701/K702 with a laptop running FLAC as source? Thanks.

Hmm.. quick question here - if using Wasapi thingie - the Windows volume control should not work right? So if it still does - then that means I did something wrong?

Hello all, just looking for some quick opinions on this - I'm planning on maybe getting a K701 - but am working on a fairly limited budget right now - though I will be planning on getting a decent set-up down the road (say maybe one year from now). So what do you think would be a good way...

Any suggestions on what could be a decent and cheap Amp to pair with the V-DAC for a K701?

While I agree that what the seller initially told you about the warranty process seems to be inaccurate, I think you're pretty much the one causing all the headaches yourself. Just because a seller is not an authorized dealer does not mean they are dishonest, and are not selling NIB goods...

Thanks for the replies! Might just get the MS-1s then if it is free shipping, although I guess I'll get dinged at the border, but shouldn't be much. Hopefully I'll love em too, lol. I've pretty much limited my searches to open or closed headphones, IEMs just do not appeal to me, though if...

Hello all, So I've just purchased my first pair of 'better than the dollar store' headphones - the Sennheiser PX100. And so far, it is a nice improvement from what I've been used to, but quite honestly, I'm not sure if the PX100s are for me. For the most part I am happy with them, but...
