And I feel like a loft of the sonic magic is happening via the signal processing within the apm so. It would be really interesting to see if somebody would hack these so the drives can be hooked up to a normal analogue source and do a sound comparison to the processed sound.

I think they are supposed to be used wirelessly whenever possible. The cable seems to be just a makeshift solution for sources with no bluetooth i.e. airplanes.

you could try them with the smallest flange cut off

So after around 100hrs of listening without explicit burn-in time I'm very glad that any trace of sibilance has disappeared. Cocteau Twins for example sounded pretty harsh initially but now are just pure bliss (god I love the CTs). Also I'm really liking the tri-flange tips on the kse1500 which...

Yeah, it is absolutely unbearable on the mac, whereas my iPhone 6s+ works fine with some occasional hiccups.

So I finally got the kse1500 and I'm pretty amazed by the sound they are capable of producing. But is there any way to make them usable on a macbook pro via USB without the popping? Sorry if that has been addressed extensively before.

i used to have the same problem while i was using windows. if an external drive shows up with the wrong letter, you can just reasign a own letter. here's the guide. i think if you use high letters like Z, the drive letters should stay the same.

the akg studio phones are very hard to drive because they're low impedance and low efficiency, which means they need lots of current

apple's radio remote should do the trick. have a look here

yes, there's a screw-on 1/8" to 1/4" plug adapter that came with the stock cd3k. A standard 1/8" to 1/4" adapter should work as well, but the stock one would reduce bulk. you could contact a local sony parts distributor about them. regarding the balanced outs of your preamp, it's hard to say...

the op said big and brown, so have a look at the koss pro 4aa. also, they're still in production.

from the pics on headphiles site, it appears the v2 uses hd650 connectors, so they should work well with the hd25, since i'm using mine with a reterminated hd650 cable. moon audio cables fit as well, whereas zu mobius don't, at least the mk1. Rotating the cups is straightforward, you can just...

for me it's a pretty simple answer: got a k1000. they both share some simmilarities like wide and realistic soundstage and imaging or a slight treble emphasis and they were both well suited as complement to the hd650, but the k1000 easily excel the cd3k in every area except comfort (they are...

This Godspeed You Black Emperor recording is one of my favorites. I think generally, if it's from the soundboard chances for good sound are fairly high.

part number is pa910s/m/l, so yes these should be the "olives". edit: btw, 15£ is quite hefty for 5 pairs, you could get them for half that price (15$ shipped) from idealsound on ebay.

i remember sugarfriend (shure's rep here) saying something about issues with multi-driver iems and tube amps

sonically, the the es7 beats the k81 by a big margin. (but wouldn't you expect that anyway, since they cost twice as much?). the es7 do everything better, bass is tighter and less boomy, mids are much clearer and the highs are more extended, while the overall sound remains on the relaxed...
