I know this is probably a rare question, but how would one go about reducing bass on a set of open backs? I know on closed backs you just start sealing up ports, but an open.....

Similar to my closed backs that I am working on, got a set of opens put together today. I'm actually pretty happy with the tuning on these right now, but haven't metered them yet, just listening so far! 100mm Rosewood cups. 50mm Wool / Carbon Drivers OpenHeart Cable Angled Sheepskin Pads I've...

Well, I know it's not as DIY as some of the projects here, but I ordered a bunch of stull off AliExpress to play with and this is the first set I focused on. I've got under $200 bucks in them with the cable & pads, and they sound pretty freaking good so far! Still playing with the tuning a bit...

Never had any open backs, so not going to spend a bajillion dollars on any until I get a feel for them. So, between those two, thoughts? Music is Alternative, Classic Rock & EDM mostly. I have no shame in saying that it seems I prefer a V-Shaped sound, but not to the extreme. I put an emphasis...

Hey all, I have a couple Schiit stacks in my primary listening spots, but we just got a corner of our cabin situated with a couple comfy highbacks, ottoman and a table between them that has a middle shelf perfect for something to stick in there to drive some headphones and kick back. Not looking...

I'm running a couple Schiit stacks (Loki Mini + / Vali 2++ & Modi+ / Loki Mini + / Vali 2++) and with the headphones I have, there is no issue what-so-ever driving them, with most music never getting above 10-12 o'clock on the knob before worrying about damaging my hearing. So the question and...

Name the songs / albums that you could listen to over and over, no matter how good the equipment is.

Background: I am new to head-fi, but not to hi-fi. I have spent MANY hours with an RTA, reference tracks and dials on EQs to get mobile audio systems just right for car SQ comps. That said, I jumped into this part of the hobby recently and I am running Modi / Loki / Vali stacks (Modi @ my cabin...

Hello, new here. I'm 45 and have been into audio most of my life with a reoccurring emphasis on car audio (SQ comps) over the years. But lately my automotive hobby has been off roading so not much room for SQ there... All of that said, I realized hi-fi has been missing from my life for a while...
