Disclaimer:   I'm not an audio engineer nor do I have 'golden ears' or for that matter any particular expertise as far as music is concerned.  I was a guy looking to upgrade his classical music listening gear.  In what follows I'm going to post a couple of impressions that some gear and...

I love my Grado RS1s, they are vintage button and I'm enthralled with their realism on vocals: johnny cash, black crowes, billy Joel. All played via my new second hand Rsa dark star or my old stand by Rsa raptor via bryston bda1 dac via McIntosh spinner. I've tried for two years to fall in...

hi all,I was wondering who of you are that satisfied with your set up that you have bought nothing, done no modifications to improve your set ups in the last 6 months ( you made it through Christmas without taking the plunge in this scenario). If there are any of you out there, show yourselves...

Hello    I have recently moved into an apartment so I cant play loud music anymore :( Therefore i'd like to get into head-fi! I've tryed to read around on this, and pretty much decided to get Audeze LCD-2's, and most likly a WOO Audio WA7 AMP/DAC.  Since i'm new to head-fi id like your...

Hey all. I recently had an opportunity to audition some headphones at a local hi-fi store.  I'm beginning to understand more what people mean now when they say a headphone is power hungry, but....I recently listened to both the LCD-2 and HE-6 and found that they sounded pretty awful when powered...

Anybody have recommendations for headphones with the lowest THD and a ruler flat frequency response?

 Hello everyone! to your opinion will my pro amplifier in the Benchmark DAC2 drive all those phones to perfection? at least good quality?   Regards

I have the original Hifiman He-5. I see that the He-5le and the He-6 are thought to significantly benefit from using speaker taps and a speaker amp. Would the same hold true for the original He-5? If so, what amps would be recommended (e.g., emotiva)? Would you recommend using the Hifiman...

Hey Guys,   Just wondering which headphone would you guys recommend out of these 3? I have done some research and after comparing all 3 it's just hard to single out 1.   For example - HD 800 from what I have heard is amazing in terms of imaging/soundstage, but is too neutral and...

I'd like to try the HE6 with my CEntrance HIFI-M8 once it ships.   I did a quick search, and didn't find an HE6 owner's hang out thread, hence the new thread.  Basically, I'd like to try the HE6 with my soon to ship CEntrance HIFI-M8.  I'm afraid it will be underwhelming, but I'd like to...

Ok I have decided to create this thread because I was extremely happy with the customer service Justin W. at HeadAmp provides.   My recent order were the HE-6. The flagship model of the HIFIman brand.   On recommendations of fellow head-fiers, I have decided to try and test out just how...
