Hello all, I recently built a pc aimed at gaming and enjoying my large selection of music. My last pc I used my Sennheiser HD650's with a cheap Creative Labs X-FI sound card, I still have my HD650s but this time around I threw in pair of Yamaha HS5s for good measure. I haven't added a sound card...

Greetings all,   Newbee to head-fi, but have had cans glued to my head since first Sony walkman 4 of the early 80's! Bunch of Headgear and amps, but always went back to my YH-100's for some reason, (the sound man!!) and was surprised to see how much effort people are putting in to keeping...

Hello, I just picked up a Yamaha DVD-S2500 for $60 total from Ebay. The original owner never did the firmware version 0.58 upgrade. I have search for the firmware all over the net and all over the forums, cant find a thing! Can anyone out there help me out with finding the firmware?

Hey guys,   So I'm moving into a studio apt in a few months and have about 4-500 dollars to spend on home theatre and I am very confused by all the choices that I have in setting up a home theatre system.   My needs are basically this.  I need a receiver that will connect to my flat...

I have the TF10's which I love but I'm looking for a good dynamic driver IEM in the $150 range and these 3 are what I've come down to.  As it stands now the FXT90 is the front runner with the GR07 in a close 2nd but the Yamaha looks good to.  Since EDM is all I listen to I want one with good...

I just got an email from Yamaha touting their two new headphones, the fullsize HPH-200 and the IEM EPH-100. Yamaha is very forthcoming in admitting that they don't make their own headphones, and that they're built with another company's assistance. In the past, it was obvious that their RH10MS...

So I need tracking headphones and mixing headphones, for the mixing set I've decided to give the AKG k701's a fair shot, but that means I'll need an amp too, and that means waiting a few weeks, and even then I'll only have about $200 for the amp. I have some old stereo equipment that been...

They're Yamaha's, got them about 5 or more years ago from a guitar store, they originally came with a 1/4" adapter. They sound like they would be in the $50-$150 range, not sure as I haven't had any full size headphones besides them. I'm pretty sure they're closed or at least semi closed. Here's...

I've mentioned these in my posts and others have expressed a desire to acquire them. I'll update this thread to track the prices and frequency-of-appearance of the YH-100 on eBay after the auctions end. Full name: Yamaha YH-100 Orthodynamic headphones. They're from 1981, they're...

I've been searching for integrated speaker amplifiers/integrated amps that doubles as a great headphone amp, and now I am the proud owner of two such pieces. There are other threads that have tried the same thing, but not all threads are easily found on this site - and I've tried to formulate...

Hi everyone.   I recently purchased a pair of Shure SRH840 headphones.  I use these for both listening on the train and for watching movies at home so I don't disturb the kids/wife at night.    I have found the volume on these lacking when using my Samsung Galaxy Captivate android phone...

im looking to add a subwoofer to my audioengine a5's. my dad has the the Yamaha YST-SW005 and said he could give it to me for free. but i originally wanted to buy the polk audio psw10 subwoofer. if its actually better i dont mind spending the $100 for the polk audio's instead of the free yamaha...

I'm currently using a Yamaha RX-V490 to power my DT880/600.  I'm rather impressed by the quality I'm getting from it and am wondering if I need a tube amp.  First of all, what volume should my sound card be set at or the best amplification.  I've got it at 25% right now.   Second, how much...

Hello there, first time post. I play piano in small jazz bands. Normally just used a small stereo PA.   I have always found that when I practise at home the piano sounds amazing through my Grado (or indeed any other) headphones.   When live my Yamaha Stagepas 300 PA doesn't sound as...

*** The A-S500 is a speaker Amp with a headphone out, not a headphone amp - pls return to your normal programming if this isnt your cup of tea :)   Generally speaking, you wont find a lot of Marantz/Denon/CA hi-fi gear in A/V showrooms here in Oz, but you will find Yamaha amps. Until...

I'm looking at a pair of Yamaha YH-2 Orthodynamic headphones, and I saw that there was a tome written about Orthodynamic headphones and that there are a lot of fans of them on the site.  For a pair in very good condition, what do you think I should pay for them?  Also, because of the thin...

Hello,   I need some help looking for a good set of open backed headphones for listening to while sat at my computer. What headphones would you recomend for around $100-150?   The Grado SR80i have had good reviews for sound quality but there's also alot of comments saying that they're a...

Got this bad boy of out my dad's garage. It's about 20 years old, probably cost about 1500 dollars in today's money.    Heres a pic: http://www.flickr.com/photos/canadagaragesale/5671650738/   I recently bought a pair of HD 650's and am enjoying them immensely. I'm just curious if it...

Trying to work out whats going on with IEM's is pretty difficult. Auditioning them is nigh on impossible, for health and other reasons. I've read a lot of the posts here, and am not really any the wiser I'm afraid.    I would like to get some IEM's that are good at monitoring audio mixes...

hey guys im a newbie with headphone equipment and around 4 months ago, i just realized that my Yamaha RX-V630 has a headphone out, where i could plug my headphones. i tried plugging my ipod, then using my headphones on it and noticed a strong hissing sound and that the tracks would play really...

I found this and S-logic did catch my eye. The headband also looks very familiar with the one Ultrasone uses so is they somehow collaborating with Yamaha now? Buy Yamaha RH10MS S-Logic Studio Headphones | Studio Headphones | Musician's Friend
