    The Beyerdynamic DT48 Arrives...

    My DT-48S came in today. It's a 5 ohm version, but I don't think it's a Nagra DT-48S though. The cups are entirely silver colored, but the pads and headband are black. It's possible that the pads and the headband may have been replaced though. Does anyone else have a DT-48S similar to mine?  ...

    What Speakers Do You Own?

    Dynaudio BM5a is my only pair. I use them as a computer system.

    A good year in rock music: 1991....pick your favorite album

    I was really split between Laughing Stock and Loveless. I voted for Laughing Stock because I find myself listening to Talk Talk more than My Bloody Valentine though.

    How important is room interaction for speakers?

    This is a simple diagram of my room. There's no actual measurements yet since I don't have a tape measure right now, but I can provide them on Monday or so. I can move my desk back a few feet from the wall so there wouldn't be a problem with having enough room behind the speakers. The speakers...

    How important is room interaction for speakers?

    Okay, thanks for the replies everyone. I think I will invest in a pair of speakers after all. Now, I just need to figure out what speakers to get.

    How important is room interaction for speakers?

    I have been considering buying some nearfield monitors for a few months now. My room has been the single thing preventing me from purchasing a set. My listening environment would be a small, untreated bedroom shared by two people. I don't have measuring tape so I can't provide a precise...

    The Grado HF-2 Review/Comparison Thread

    I got my HF2s yesterday. Here are my first impressions. The comfort is better than I expected and I have no problems with wearing the HF2s for extended listening sessions. The tonal balance is almost perfect for me. I think if the HF2 was just a bit brighter, then the tonal balance would be...

    Official HF-2 Serial Number List

    I got number #482 yesterday. I actually forgot that the HF2 didn't come with an 1/4" to 1/8" adapter so I had to rush over to Radioshack to buy one.

    HF-2

    I got the email yesterday as well. I never thought I would ever be so happy about someone charging my debit card. I also called to change the shipping address on my order since I won't be at my apartment for a week and a half. Hopefully, that's sorted out so I just enjoy my HF2s as soon as they...

    Any anime series that you've been enjoying?

    That's because Cross Game is good stuff. I stopped watching the anime since I read the manga, but I would definitely be eagerly waiting for each episode if this wasn't the case.

    The Sennheiser HD-600 thread

    Your source and amp probably aren't good enough for the HD600 to shine. The Grados are easier to drive and have a more obvious coloration. The HD600 is a fairly transparent and hard to drive headphone. Its sound will reflect your source more than the Grados will. The HD600 also needs to be...

    amp/dac for the denon d7000

    The Pico DAC is an great DAC choice under $400. There's some other great choices in this price range, but most of them are vintage DACs. I haven't heard the D7000 so I'm not going to recommend any amps for them.

    Compass vs EF2 vs Pico for Denon AH D2000/D5000

    I can't comment of the ibasso or the EF2 as I have not heard them, but I used to own a Compass and now own a Pico. Now, this is going off from memory so take this for what it's worth. I feel the DAC of the Pico is significantly better than the Compass DAC. Which is the better of the two amps...

    SRH840 impression

    I've been listening to my Shures for a bit the last two days. The sound isolation is actually better than I originally thought it was; once music comes on, most of the traffic noise is actually blocked out, at least at night when there is less traffic. The bass has tightened up a bit to me, but...
