Having heard some old-time goodies like Sennheiser HE-90, Stax Omega II and Sony R10, and owning 5 pairs of AKG K1000 currently, I have not been particularly impressed with the previous generation of flagship headphones (HD650, K702, DT880, some woody Audio Technicas) for playing classical and...

Hi,   I'm looking to upgrade my setup from my current Asus Essence One. I've already decided on the phonitor 2 as my headphone amp (expensive, but the crossfeed really intrigues me) and I'm hoping to find a suitable DAC to match it. I hope to find something below 1k and currently I'm most...

Hi folks,   I recently spent two solid hours comparing HiFiMan's production HE-560 against my own HD800 to which I've applied the Anaxilus 2 mod. I thought this comparison might be interesting to others out there, since previous such comparisons appear to have been against the stock HD800.  ...

I'm not sure what to think of these. I got some LCD2s last week and they sound amazing. The LCD2s sound closer and more intimate, lows and meds are the best I've ever heard. The highs are decent but seem to get taken over by the meds sometimes. I received the Beyerdynamic T1s this morning and...
