Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

Whats your dac and amp. I can easily eq the th900 to give it the mid bass of the th600.

 

Right now i have the Fostex HP-A4BL and an Audio GD R2R11 and even with the warmest settings on the Audio GD it can't reach the bass of the TH600

 

You need bass boost.

 

Do you mean a better amp?
The R2R 11 is really powerful (3500mW/25 ohm) and is considered really punchy.

 

Something to add more bass and a warmer dac. Ifi bl.

 

What would your eq settings be if you want to use it with IFI Black ?

 

I don't think you can get any warmer than an R2R Dac with the Jumper set to warmer and in getting too warm you'll inevitably lose definition, so i've found the solution in this:

Ifi bl Ill use it with a phone , music app eq , Ill raise the left bar and slightly in the middle.

 

I don't know how long you've had and listened to your stock TH900, but, if you have been used to the overly mid bassy TH600 maybe it will take a while to get used to the signature of the stock TH900.

The longer I have been interested in high end audio the more I appreciate a more neutral, more treble, less bassy signature.

 

I use the schiit Loki tone control for my 900’s. It works great with them. I set the 20hz knob at 1:00 for even a little more sub bass, and the 400hz knob about 2:00 for more midbass/lower midrange. Sounds good to me that way.

 

Haven’t listened to my th900’s for about 3 weeks. Soon as I put them on, I am instantly reminded why I bought them. They are truly a pleasurable and unique set of cans!

 

My fav , wish another could beat it. They cant.

 

Yep, they’ve been out what, about 8 yrs now? Still haven’t heard another closed (semi open) headphone I like more
