I am using a Onkyo TX SR-707. My Sennheiser HD598's and my Klipsh S4 sound incredable through my Home reciever. So much better then my Ipod with a small E6 amp. Basicly I am wondering what kind of upgrade of sound will I get if I decide to go out and get a deticated Headphone amp. How much money...

I am looking for a good 2-channel power amp to drive my AKG K702 as well as a pair of Boston bookshelf speakers.   I've tried Onkyo A-5VL from Amazon but unfortunately it was defective so I returned it and ordered another one and that was defective, too!   So I am now wary of Onkyo's build...

Ok, ok...  Sound is personal, yes correct.  This post is coming from a guy with 2 floorstands with 6.5" woofers Xover @ 40Hz and 3 10" subs Xover @ 80Hz and no there is not a bump at the freq they overlap, actually they cancel out, perfect because there was a bump =D Now, lets get down to...

I am searching for help on this one for sometime now. I hope I will have a few good responses. I bought the Onkyo TXNR609 (TI Burr-Brown 192 kHz/24-Bit DACs on all channels 32-Bit DSP chip for advanced processing) because it has a USB input to be able to playback FLAC files. 1. I am...

I have a Pre-Amp (Onkyo P3200 PRE-AMP), are pre-amps universally compatible with all amps out there? I was also wondering if this pre-amp would connect to either one of the above? And if so, is it recommended? Last question, which amp is better to drive the LCD-2, I posted this in the LCD-2 Amp...

I have my dad's really old 1990 onky setup   M-5200 Stereo Power Amplifier Onkyo P-3200 Pre-amp and a Onkyo EQ-140   I don't know much about it maybe you guys have an idea?

  I know nothing about headphones. I am into home theatre as my hobby but I need some decsent headphones for action movies while the family is sleeping.   I normally don't start threads or post in them I just do lots of searchs and reading to find what I want to try. Most all of my searching...

...reconsidering equipment...

So, I was prepared to pull the trigger on a Peachtree Nova...and then I started looking at the iNova. Now I thought this was just an added iPod dock to the Nova. Which is cool and all, but I could get a transport to get decent digital outs for less than $600.   I did a little more reading...

Hello everybody   I just order a T3D today, And while waiting for it, I did a small test.   I connected my Nano 6G by LOD "RCA" to my Onkyo TX-SR875 and my Westone 3 on the headphone out, with the pure audio mode activated.   The result, day and night ! Clear voices, undistorted and...

Will be running mine from an Onkyo TX-NR609 receiver, a MacBook Pro, & iPod Touch 4g.  I would guess they will sound their best from the Onkyo due to it putting out more power into them, but not as good sound from the two Apple products.   I know headphone amps start at least as low as $65...

I currently own several audio systems throughout my home but for music listening I use a H/K 3490. I wonder if I buy the Grado RS2i if my H/K will hamper it or allow it to reach the Grado's full potential.   I've been quite happy with my HK and Hsu HB-1 MK2 w/ Velodyne VT-150 sub for music...

Hey people, I’m pretty new to the world of high quality headphones and this is my first post. This hobby is expensive by the way! Well I need some help on picking between two choices to amp my headphones. I’m looking at the (very nice) Little Dot MKII and this Onkyo receiver...

I'm currently using Audio Technica ATH-AD700s (open) headphones, which are just fine. But I'm getting and itch to try headphones with a more/bigger base (and closed) for when I play Blu-ray disks. The headphones would be plugged in to an Onkyo 706B receiver and a Muse headphone amp I'm...

I'm a complete noob when it comes to headphones to set things in perspective.   I have a pair of AKG K240Ms that are rated at 600 ohms so are quite hard to drive. I mainly listen to lossless music streamed to an AVR, not an iPod or computer. The AVR (Onkyo NR3008) doesn't have near enough to...

I want an upgrade from my old PX100; comfortable on ear portables that I can run off my Cowon J3 without an amp. The genres I listen to are progressive and alternative rock. I don't like the feel and complete isolation of canal phones. They hurt for me since I have really small ear canals...

Saw this image posted on Tone Audio's Personal Audio Facebook page but not much comes up in an online search

Hi guys, i'm not sure if i'm at the right place, but i know there's a lot of people who knows a lot about audio equipment on this forum     here's my question At home, i have a Pioneer PL-540 TT like this and an Onkyo amplifier like this I also have a M-Audio Fast track...

Anyone heard this thing?     http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Onkyo-Intel-Atom-capacitive-touchscreen-TW317A5,11500.html    

How good will headphones sound coming from a Onkyo ht-s3300?    http://www.onkyo.ca/model.cfm?m=HT-S3300&class=Systems&p=s   Or would headphones sound better in a headphone amp? 

Hey guys I was recommended to come to this forum from AVS. I'm looking for a portable pro logic II processor for my headphones. I love my Onkyo 805's PLII music but it has made every other source sound dull and lifeless. I've read that the JVC SU-DH1 isn't the best for music unless you want a...

hi... i am nubie here and need some advice bout ampli..   my headphone is ATH AD900 and i use Onkyo SE-200pci Ltd as my soundcard   so, what is the best ampli for my headphone and soundcard?   after read some review, i thnk indeed G2 is a good ampli. but is the ampli's...

Hello,   I'm glad, that I found this forum. I hope you can help me.   I want to buy a AKG 701 or a Senn HD600/650, my preamp is a Onkyo 5507 (for both, cinema and stereo).   Do you think the Onkyo is a 'good enough' headphone amp, or should I go for a stand alone headphone amp?  ...

Are the two terms interchangable as far as listening with headphones is concerned?   Going to be doing some upgrading this summer and after the sound card and headphones, will be looking at amps and DACs.    But my step dad has a spare receiver laying around, an Onkyo TX-SR703.  Would...
