Was listening to my LCD-2s and noticed the sound seemed slightly off center (towards the right). Since I was using foobar I switched it into mono mode and confirmed that everything was slightly to the right (I know my hearing is ever so slightly to the right as well, but this is more than...

Okay, so I am a hoarder, but I increasingly cannot stand stuff sitting around in disuse.  I have a LCD-2 rev 1 and HE6.  My primary DAC is an Eastern Electric Minimax+ and my amps: EF6 and Lyr.  I listen to Rock, from the 70's to right now, and everything from Radiohead to Paramore to Tool, NIN...

Looking at the graphs it has the same response as a lcd2. Obviously as a potrable its not going to be anywhere near as good or powerfull. Don't really want a dark headphone or to upgrade all my stuff just to use it. Something with deep presant bass that isn't overpowering. The 1350 seems just...

I am planning my next upgrade to the $1000+ land of dream (at least from where I am) Although Shure is not over 1000, I get the impression it is still good enough to compare with the other models.   I have not listened to any of the models I listed so all I can do is search and see...

Intro I'd previously planned on not writing any more "reviews" on Head-Fi, but as I've learned, things rarely go as planned. I guess I'll just say this is my latest one of the Shure SRH1840, which I recently bought, mostly because of the raving on it by some very experienced Head-Fiers. The...

Is it preferable to listen to these on a balanced amp rather than single ended if given the choice?   Thanks, Ken

Hi all! I have a pair of Denon AH-D5000 that I´m very happy with, and they have given me several hours of joy. I´m still looking for alternatives though, not to replace my Denons, but because it´s fun to try something new. As I love the sound signature of the Denons, I´m wondering if someone can...

Hello     I find, now that I have the buget, that it’s time to take my music experience to another level. I like to enjoy music as well as to “analyze” it. So I want a headphone that is good at both, but that is also very good with all types of music, scales well and is comfortable to...

I currently own W1000X, K702, DT880 and TF10x6. I'm thirsty for even better headphones, but I really don't know what to buy.   I really like the mids and highs of W1000X, well defined and engaging. However, when it comes soundstage, I just feel W1000X doesn't cut it. It sounds a bit chaotic...

What is an excellent portable amp for Audeze LCD-2 headphones? Would the ALO Rx Mk3 or Continental, Or Ray Aameuls Sr-71B fit the bill?   Am I netter off with balanced or single ended?   I am using it with a Alogrythm Solo DAC.   Thanks, Ken

Hey.   I got my Superlux HD681 a month back and they sound really good. I can't explain how CRISP and DETAILED the sound is on these things. I can hear every little thing. + the Xonar DG. I almost cried when I first heard them. Buuut. They have a bit of boring sound and are really...

Review My interest for April Eximus DP1 started because of a combination of reasons. First of all, the introduction of their U3 unit, in an era where the main trend has been to deal with computer audio, and usb-related issues (mainly, jitter rejection, and bitperfect reproduction)...

So here's the deal. I own a pair of D2k's and have recently purchased a pair of LCD-2's and am now looking for an amp/DAC that will pair nicely with both of them. I am getting by with a HiFiMAN EF2A amp, but the time has come to upgrade.  I have a budget of around 1000$   On a side note I...

Hey everyone,   I know that an upgraded cable can lower distortion and increase clarity, as well as prevent external interference with the signal.. BUT, does re-cabling a stock K701, T1, HD800, etc. make THAT big a difference?

Introduction: In this review I will try to compare the Sennheiser HD650 and the Stax SR-202. These headphones are in similar price ranges, so it should make for an interesting comparison. Please note this is my first review I have ever written. I would have written one before, but I am...

Have a pair of DT990 120ohms i'm looking to upgrade from. Bought a pair of MS-Pro's and wasn't a fan at all, i like my bass and it was really lacking on the pros. I'm looking at either a pair of Denon D5000's or Audeze LCD2's am i looking in the right path? I will be running them from my...

Hey guys, I'm at a point in life right now where I cant hang on to my LCD-2's anymore. I just need the money very badly but I don't want to just stick with my Sony V6's, I was planning on selling my LCD-2s and using half the money for bills etc and taking the other half and getting a different...

Hi guys, These is like my 9th thread asking about headphones, sorry lol. I'm very confused, please help me choosing! I mostly listen to hard rock, alternative, grunge, metal, punk, rock n roll, modern rock, classic rock, and many other genres. I read that the HE-400 can be driven by any amp...

Hmm, the Heed Canamp seems to have fallen out of favor in Head-Fi land of late...   I can't find the specs on the manufactuer's page - is it powerful enough to drive Hifiman and Audeze orthodynamics with ease?

Want to get a nice amp for my HD650. I'm looking at the Woo Audio WA6-SE or WA2. Which will be better for the HD 650? I am also going to use this amp for future headphone purchase (either the LCD-2 or LCD-3). Thanks.

I've discussed with peers whether this post belongs in the sound science forum or here, and I decided to post it here for the following reasons:   This study is really about the subjective experience first. And how objective measurements back up those subjective experiences rather than the...

Have aiaiais but it has veiled highs and is to bass heavy. Any suggestions?

       (I barely like them over the RS2, and by barely, I just put them on the other day and had to tell myself I didn't like them a little better for the sake of my credibility)   This is what my head looks like.  ;)    Ok I'm just going to say it, I'm bored of the neutrality that the...

Hello!   So Ive currently had a Argon HA2 DAC + Denon AH-D2000 setup for the last 2 years, and therefore looking for an upgrade.  I do not, unfortunaly, have any knowledge about headfi so I would like to get some help! My budget is max 2000 bucks and I do not mind buying used gear. ...

Currently considering an upgrade to my DAC-->Amp setup for my upcoming LCD2s. I dont have much cash to spare so im looking the most bang for the buck to maximize the potential of the audezes. I am torn between the Burson and Schitt since many have claimed that they pair well with the audeze. I...
