Decided to go with the Maverick D1   I just purchased the Fostex T50rp and realized that I'm finally going to be forced into getting an amp.   It would be nice if the Amp/Dac worked well with all of my headphones that I currently own (all headphones are in my sig. but the most important...

I've gotten listen to and compare the Fostex T50RP, stock and modded, to a bunch of other headphones.  Stock, the Fostex were terrible.  I'm usually able to convince myself that a pair of headphones could lend itself to a unique set of user "preferences" but...no.  The midrange was lumpy and...

Hi   I'm searching for an amp for those two headphones. My maximum budget is about $300.    Actually I have an Indeed Hi-Fi G2 amp, but the Fostex demand more "meat", so I was thinking of a Maverick Audio A1 or similar tube amp or a solid state amp, but I'm very lost in the SS amp...

Okay, so I've been doing a lot of research, and the world of vacuum tubes has me utterly confused. There is, for example, the Aune T1, the Maverick Tubemagic D1 and A1, and god knows what else in this price range. Tubes in the DAC, in a preamp, or a "true" headphone tube amp. Basically, what...

EDIT - this thread started with the message below.  I ended up choosing to buy Smeggy Made Thunderpants, and after posting some photos, this thread sort of turned into a Thunderpants/ortho, and other random bits of quality cans discussion.  It doesnt really have a specific direction anymore, and...

Hi, I am new to this community. Can anyone direct me to a review/comparison of the various mods available for the T50rp. Saw a couple of terms like Thunderpants, Paradox and Mad Dogs bouncing here and there. Can anyone help me out? Looking for something with good bass, detail and soundstage...

I have narrowed down my search for a headphone to the SRH-840 and was not able to find any comparison reviews between the two. I am mostly using them for monitoring music production and listening, primarily to electronic music with strong bass. I want a new pair since I feel the A900 bass...

I'm looking for a closed set since they can't leak much sound and won't be used in a super quiet environment. They will most likely be used unamped so something competent without one would be nice although I would also like there to be some nice improvement with an amp as I own two, just not in...

My MBP (15" 2011) has a Headphone/Line Out port and a Mini Toslink port (96KHz/24bit).   My budget is around £50.   I would like Dolby pro Logic II so I can get 5.1 sound but I think that is out of my price range so I have looked at ones without it.   The two options I have found so...

Hi everyone, I decided to give myself the gift of awesome headphones this year! I'm new to all of this so please be patient with me. I've been reading around here reviews for several headphones but I'm finding it hard to narrow down my perfect pair. I'm currently testing the M50s that everyone...

My current headphones are: Citronic HB450Pro   I am looking at the Fostex T50RP for my next pair but need a bit of info.   I am willing to do mods to them.   Are these headphones ok for music, Movies, TV and gaming? Would I be correct to assume they will be better then my current...

Trying to figure out what headphones these are.      

Dear Head-Fi community: At the crossroads between these headphones I need your help to decide : The Fostex seems to be a good compromise between quality/price and modding capabilities (I am not particularly fond on soldering but I like the idea of playing with simple mods to train my ears)...

Hello everyone.   I was searching the boards to see if anyone had tried these headphones and commented on them but didn't see anything. Seems no one has noticed about this new entry from Monster. Well, I was randomly browsing on Amazon and somehow ended on their page for these headphones. I...
