i am now the proud owner of a G1 EC/SS (thanks Dash & Compuryan ). i've been "auditioning" this amp for the better part of a week now with my Ultrasone PROLine 2500s and have been extremely happy with what this little amp can do. i don't own HD650s, but i am pleased with other's reviews, just...

Thanks for the great review Kontai69!

thanks for the reviews HeadphoneAddict - your reviews are always a worthwhile read. i can't however say that my wallet thanks you .

well folks, my much anticipated LiveWires arrived yesterday. i have a feeling that in over 2600 posts in this thread that most things have been covered, but i'll give some brief thoughts anyway. custom IEMs are a truly unique experience and are not really like off the shelf IEMs at all. the...

woah - took me 3 days, but i have read the freQ thread from front to back . i guess you could say that i'm from the LW camp as i'm currently waiting for my LWs to arrive in a week or so. big thanks to Powertoold for maintaining this thread for 6 months and to the many contributors for their...

i've been "browsing" NSL for years and finally decided to buy a pair of PROline 2500s last month. service was top notch. they have been a well known and well respected company in the pro sound business for many years - you are in good hands. sign up for the newsletter for a little extra off...

when i sell, i try to calculate shipping fees as exact as i possibly can and i try to pack very well using supplies that i recycle. things that are would be included under handling fees are things like packing tape, which i use lots of and now the biggie is gasoline. if i waste one third of a...

i've found that the general consensus concerning the HD280-pro is that they are not regarded highly. i have 2 very broken in sets of HD280-pros and for the money, i think they sound really nice. even better when they are paired with a nice amp (as other have indicated above). CMOYs are fun to...

just received my NOS PROline 2500s from NorthernSound.net and right out of the box i'm happy . i haven't had an open set of headphones in a while and i think i'm going to be really pleased that i went with the 2500s over the 750s. Northern Sound has 1 pair of Pro 2500s, 2 pairs of Pro 750s left...

i'm there - just hope the final release will be a little less buggy than the beta i tried a few months ago

seriously - the mini3 is a super bargain for $100. it sounds great, is well built and has some nice features. well worth the $ IMHO.

nice tip on the Elpac - think i'm gonna pick one up for a Creek phono pre. thanks guys! jeff h

can't comment just yet as my Livewires are not quite here yet (a week or less!). i'm going to start with the Meier 2Move and the Livewires. in low gain, low current, the 2Move sounds great with my super.fi 3 single transducers and i'm hoping that translates to out of this world with the...

just another quick vote of confidence on this amp - it's amazing! so good in fact, that i plan on putting off buying a desktop setup for some time now that i have the 2Move .

holy cow - you think that article has enough references? . i really went out of my way to purchase a 60GB system specifically for backward compatibility with the PS2 in the hopes that the games would look better on the PS3. i have to say that i was somewhat disappointed with the look of the PS2...

woah, those are odd looking running shoes - but whatever works for you . my words of wisdom with regards to running (or walking) is to find a local store that will record you running and fit the right type of shoe to the way you are built. i had no idea what pronation (foot rolls in) or...
