I currently have a corda arietta. What other amps use crossfeed technology, I may be looking for a new amp

I'm in a situation currently where I can potentially get myself a pair of HD800s. I had a listening test with a pair of them and some HD700s yesterday, and I absolutely love the sound of them.   I also would be in a position to get a Lehmann Black Cube Linear Headphone Amp, and from what...

First things first: This is my first post on head-fi, and I have very little idea what I'm doing.  I have a modest 256-320kbps mp3 collection across many genres, mostly classical, electronic/trance, soundtracks, 80s rock, and a bunch of other stuff.  I've spent upwards of $200 on in-ear phones...

Does anyone know of a high-end headphone amp that has a "mono" switch (i.e., that will combine both channels before outputting to the headphone jack)?  I recall seeing one somewhere on this site, but can't seem to find it again, and I wasn't having much luck searching this forum (but I may not...

Hi folks, I'd love to expand my stereo speaker system to include headphones. My current system looks like this: Densen B-410 cd player / Oppo BDP-95 blu-ray player -> Densen B-110 integrated amplifier -> Verity Rienzi loudspeakers As mentioned in the title, I'm looking for a...

Hi. I am in phase of research for my next system. The headphone will be Q701. But i am frustrated about powering section. I listen music %80 from my mobile phone and %20 from my computer. They are in different rooms. I listen while working on desk with mobile phone. So i couldn't decide to buy...

Hi all,   I want a set of headphones as flat, realistic, accurate and detailed as possible for mixing and mastering applications. I was thinking something in the lines of HD800, T1, LCD2, SR-007 and 4070. Any suggestions?

had my stagedac for a few years now, and am happy with it. but like most on here, i cant help wondering if there is something out there that is better, for the same price range. i think i paid around £500. how much would i have to spend to noticably improve on it's performance? thanks

When Sennheiser displayed the HD 800, there was either a Lehmann Audio or Violectric amplifier driving the headphones. With the introduction of their new in-house amplifier I believe they use that now (though I have never seen it). I have never seen an AKG display so what do they use to power...

I’ve lived with the NuForce for nearly a year now and have not lost any enthusiasm to use it for listening to beautiful music. It handles all different signals with a deftness and delicacy yielding delightful results.   But being the nutter I am I wonder about alternatives – could they be...

I really enjoy my 3-channel B22 with the T1. The problem is my girlfriend doesn't appreciate the presence of the 2 chassis B22 in our bedroom ! I've read that the Auditor is a great match for the T1 so I was thinking it could replace my B22. Has anyone compared both amps with the T1.   Thank...

Direct to the right forum or if you can sum it up for me, it'd be a big help.   Signed,   New guy in Vietnam, land of counterfeit crap.

I have recently enjoyed listening to the new Sound Performance Lab Phonitor. A stationary headphone monitoring amplifier. After a search here on head-fi I did not find anything so I thought I might start a thread on it. (or my search was wrong ) I was really stunned! It drove an Ultrasone...

Does anyone know of an effective way to test the output level of headphones? I want to make sure the level is not damaging my ears.   Thanks.

I noticed I had a slight hissing sound in my left ear around 17 days ago, so I went to the doctor and he told me to basically avoid all loud sounds and avoid using headphones, which is understandable. So, for like the past (well 17 days) I have avoided all loud sounds, ain't even thought...

I am a noob of full size cans. I don't even have a proper source or desktop amp. Currently I only use my Hifiman 801 (playing 24/96 files) as source and output to RSA blackbird and then to the Ultrasone ED10.   I will consider an amp first then source. In my driving vicinity, the following...

By 'drive' I mean can it make it go louder than you can stand to listen to without making the dial on the amp go all the way clockwise? And can it do that without destroying the HE-6's drivers by clipping and distortion?   Never mind about synergy or whether or not the E9 gets the maximum...

Hi, I'm think about purchasing a full sized amp but I have a problem that stops me from doing so. Is it possible to hurt or even kill yourself with a headphone amp by accidentally cranking the volume up too high? Most desktop amps can output more than 1W of power into my low impedance cans, Is...

I'm looking for a good amp with built-in DAC around 1200$s, full size or the small ones, any kind will do. I'm mainly gonna be using it with my HD 800. I'm not gonna be buying/upgrading it for at least 2-3 years. Please help/advice ? i'm thinking of getting the Lehmann audio Black Cube Linear...

Preface   I would first like to thank Head-Fi for being a fantastic hub for audio enthusiasts, without Head-Fi I would be using Skullcandy or Bose. I would like to thank SPL for their gracious gift to me, while being very overwhelming it's much appreciated. I'm very honored to be able to own...

  Episode 009 of Head-Fi TV was just uploaded.  This episode is a video review of the SPL (Sound Performance Lab) Phonitor.  The SPL Phonitor is what SPL calls a headphone monitoring amplifier, and comes with a plethora of imaging/crossfeed adjustments, intended to allow the user to simulate...

Guys, I've decided to pick either of those two. I currently have the following setup :   Desktop PC > Flac - > Focusrite Saffire pro 24DSP -> SPL Auditor -> Ultrasone pro 900   I plan on buying HD800 at the end of the month or so. I wonder what would complement the SPL Auditor the...
