Subject says it all- thinking about giving the 616s a try and want to use the same tips. One other question since I have you here: the 616s are the same phones as the 716s without the inline device, right? [edit- nevermind- found my answer- they work]

[edit: oops- wrong forum ] I've been thinking of trying out the RS1s to see how I like them, but I don't like UBAR bright signatures. What do you think?

I have been trying to find where to go to make a donation to this site as a thank you, but following the links that say "To become a contributing member, clicke here" all seem to take me to threads about upcoming meets. If anyone could clue me in, I'd appreciate it. I'll keep looking in the...

How's the sound quality of each? I am looking at a couple pairs of each, I think I can get the Tower IIs a bit cheaper (used), and I'm curious how they compare to each other. Anyone?

I'm looking for a decent sub for somewhere around $250 and I see these a lot. Good: 400W, Athena brand. Bad: 'only' 10 inch Anyone heard them? Athena seems to be pretty well regarded for their price, so is this just another good "bang for the buck" or is it a dog in their lineup? I'm...

Basically, I'm upgrading some JBL E50s to something with better sound. They'll be matched with a sub, but I still want them to be able to fill a medium sized room with sound. What are some good recs for powerful, but inexpensive, bookshelves for a 2.1 setup?

My 35s are getting a little loose jointed so may be going back to Koss soon, and I got a deal on a pair of Portapros to take their place for a while. Reading about them, it seems the consensus is that their bass is greater than the 35s. Now, knowing a little about this line, I've always...

I've noticed deleting the price once an item sells is extremely common here- may I respecfully ask what the point is? It seems counterproductive to the 'community' feel by disallowing us to research the prices things have sold for, no?

I've had it in my head that the PortaPros are a great portable phone and now I see the PortaPro2s showing up in CC. Are they a step down, up, or sideways with regard their namesake predecessors? With what other models do they share drivers (surely there are many, if I know Koss)? Thanks...

Those who claim aftermarket cables are teh shiz (I'm not arguing the point, btw), are they supposed to change the sound somehow for the better, or do they supposedly deliver the signal more accurately? I'm not trying to start a firestorm, here- I just see that they're an accepted upgrade...

Haven't been able to find a definite answer and it hasn't been apparent perusing classic-audio.com. Any insight is much appreciated! -rodbac

This is related to a previous post where I asked for predictions, so sorry if the info is redundant (I didn't get a solid answer, though): I am listening to some HD-600s on my Corda HA-1 with my PC (Audigy) as the source. They sound great through it, but I find it odd that I have to put...

I have an Audigy for gaming, etc, but I'm facing the prospect of my PC being my primary source for a while. I've seen a lot of mention of M-Audio (Revolution mostly), so I guess my question is this- if I'm willing to spend $50 more, would the "Audiophile" (with the RCA cnxns) be worthwhile or...

Comparing my A900s to the HD-600s from my iHP through my Super Mini, they both sound very, very good, with the differences only being what I commonly read as the described difference between the phones themselves. The volume remains consistent (or very close) when I switch between them, too...

I'm listening to my just-received pair of HD-600s through my Corda HA-1 (from my Audigy). Without telling me how poor my source is (I know), how would you think the 600s should sound compared to a pair of A900s? I'd like to hear predictions before posting any of my impressions, so as not...

I'm thinking of buying a vintage Marantz 2252 receiver. The reading I've done leads me to believe it may not be a good match with low-impedance phones like my A900s. True? Also, I also have a Corda HA-1 that I can use, too. Is this a stupid purchase? I guess I'm kinda thinking out...

I'm looking for a decent first headphone amp for myself to drive my A900s that are on their way (I know they're not that hard to drive, btw, but they won't be my last pair of phones). I'm looking for dual power (batteries and DC power) so I can use it occasionally with my Karma as well as...
