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...

The picture comes from one of the headphone fan in China(www.erji.net).   This is a Japanese amp which can drive both electrostatic and dynamic headphone together.   http://www.ishinolab.com/modules/doc_merchandise/original/masters/sx-3000bd.html     Sounds good?  Anyone try this amp...

If the source is good enogh, Which one would give the best outcome for listening to classical music? Besides Sennheiser, I am also considering beyerdynamic T1 or T90. So a similar question would be "T1+$700 amp? Or T90+$1300 amp?"

Hi, guys... I've been a longtime reader of the forums, and I could now use a little advice. I'm about to replace my Burson 160D, and I've narrowed down the replacement to either the Conductor or the Sennheiser HDVD800. I will be using the amp/DAC connected to a Mac via USB to drive my HD800's...

Hi, I recently purchased the HD800s and have been using them with the JDS labs O2/ODAC. While I'm happy with the SQ, I can't get the HD800s loud enough to enjoy listening to them (unless I apply a lot of extra gain manually in foobar). What would you recommend for an amp/DAC (either combo or...

I'm getting the HD800 to use with an Oppo 105. The Oppo-105 has a headphones out, so theoretically no need for an amp... But it sounds from other threads that maybe it won't have enough power for the HD800s? Does anyone have hands-on experience with this?   Regardless, I'll probably need a...

I read in the liner notes to the After Silence album from the Dutch master of the trumpet Andre Heuvelman, that it has been mixed and mastered with the HD800. The album is maybe the best sounding in my collection and since I do practically all my listening on my Sennheisers, no wonder.  ...

I plan to create music from my computer using synths, guitars, and pianos that I currently have in my house. I am looking to buy amps/speakers for listening to my tracks. [reference monitors?] I am very uninformed but feel that I am picky and require a decent quality set up. I don't have a...

Hi there,   I have an offer of buying some used HD800 for some decent price, but the owner honestly told me that there's some very little dent on the metal that covers the left outer earcup. It looks like this:     Can anybody assure me it will not affect the sound quality at all? And if...

Hi, well, I'm into electronic developement and want to get into the DAC/amp toppic a bit deeper. To be able to hear what I've designed I think it makes quite some sense to use sort of a neutral headphone as a monitor. Which one can I use best for this purpose? I had a HD540 Reference which I...
