    What Happened to Head-Fi? (Rant)

    Hello,   While this may be my first post, I assure you I am not new to the world of headphones or this forum.  I started to really get into this hobby around 2000, but had some interest in the late '90's.  At the time Headwize was the authoritative forum.  Then Head-fi appeared and grew.  It...

    D7000 with ear pad of TH900?

    Anybody has tried replace the D7000 ear pad with TH900's? My imagination is that it will enlarge the soundstage and reduce the amount of bass. But I don't want to have vocal much farther than it currently is.   Any ideas about this?

    Equalizer versus Amp synergy match question

    I am an old audiophile coming back to the hobby. Why don't headphone amps and or Dac units come with an equalizer? Wouldn't that solve most of our Headphone paring problems?   I had a Citation preamp in the old days with a nice equalizer built in.  My new LCD-XC needs a little more bass so just...
