    Need recommendation for a flagship-level headphone

    Thanks always for the advice MalVeaux. LCD-2 is the first choice and the HE-6 is next in line as well as the HD800, but either of them would probably require me to upgrade or change the amp.   HE-6's are literally everywhere on Head-fi right now... should i wait for the same thing to happen...

    Need recommendation for a flagship-level headphone

    Over the last year I've been purchasing, auditioning, and selling headphones to search for my favorite set up.  These are what I've had the chance to own so far:   Ultrasone Signature Pro Beyerdynamic Tesla T1 Synphones Magnum V4 in Mahogany cups (made by Benjamin 6264) MCA Fostex T50RP...

    Is Sennheiser Amperior nothing but a Senn's attempt to give Beats/SOL/Soul run for their money?

    I've never said I tried at the apple store. I know a person who bought to test it out since he can return it if he didn't like it. I stopped by his place To test it out, but the only source I brought there was my phone, and I didnt get much time because it happened this morning and he had to go...

    Is Sennheiser Amperior nothing but a Senn's attempt to give Beats/SOL/Soul run for their money?

    Quote:     Just A/B'd the Amperior with HD25-1-ii.     Long story short... What Senn and Tyll.  Are you serious?  $150 markup and a rave review for this?  WOOOW.  I really doubt anybody who's on a budget will buy the Amperior, especially since Sennheiser is keeping a tight watch on...

    Is Sennheiser Amperior nothing but a Senn's attempt to give Beats/SOL/Soul run for their money?

    Quote: Yeah because it's not like Tyll never made personal attacks against headphones he didn't like.  Not only that, I didn't accuse him of anything except making a review that guaranteed so many things without offering any real information on the sound difference, except that "it's just...

    Is Sennheiser Amperior nothing but a Senn's attempt to give Beats/SOL/Soul run for their money?

    According to Senn website, the Apple store is the only exclusive dealer allowed to sell the Amperiors (http://www.sennheiserusa.com/headphones-for-dj-over-ear-amperior-_505573)...  for $350, which is $150 more than the retail price of HD25-1-ii, and $225 more than the refurbished price sold by...

    Will going to Nuforce HDP from iBasso D6 help improve the SQ with HD650?

    So I have an iBasso D6 with hiflight's opamp and high output buffer installed.  With/Without gains, it can drive my HD650 to a level that is too loud for my ears at around 2/4 o' clock , which I think leaves a little power to spare. Also, hiflight has told me that D6 drives his DT880 Dragon...

    Is a good idea to Markl mod HD25-1-ii? How does the cable affect the SQ? Could it be better than the Amperior?

    So I just looked at the innerfidelity review of the Amperior, but based on what Ive seen from other impressions I don't find it convincing that they have made much of an upgrade besides the aluminum cup, the damping design, and the copper cable.     I can't say anything for certain since...

    Thinking of remolding my Westone 4 at Unique Melody... HELP NEEDED

      Quote:   Hmm, that's interesting that the soundstage of an iem is same as a full sized headphone... I know some people says multi BA's sound unnatural due to the fact that many company who aren't as skilled as Westone have trouble tuning the BA... I'm a little worried that adding...

    What's with the pricing on sale/trade forums? We should monitor the prices.

      Quote:   What's sad is that a lot of people think they can sell their can with one driver missing or completely broken for about 60% of the retail price... without warranty.  But I do agree, I'm tired of getting bombarded with low ball offers, especially when they try to buy for way...

    Thinking of remolding my Westone 4 at Unique Melody... HELP NEEDED

      Quote:   I did, but it is likely that I won't own more than one or two IEMs at a time, and I can't justify spending over $200 on just a ear tip when full remold is $169.   In this case, UM56 is not really an option for me.

    What's with the pricing on sale/trade forums? We should monitor the prices.

    Tbh, if my price is unfair (even by $20-30) and if somebody posts a reply (not PM) saying many people are selling for cheaper, Id be completely ok with that.  I'll just justify my price openly so everyone can see why it is priced that way, although my stuffs are always conservatively priced.  ...

    Thank you for your input.  That helps a lot.   How do you like your 6 driver TF10?  I wish I can add drivers but that costs way too much money :/

    Thinking of remolding my Westone 4 at Unique Melody... HELP NEEDED

    Hi, I had a Westone 4 for a while and I'm thinking of getting remolded.  Only tips I can use with this IEM is Shure Olive or Comply's, but neither provides enough isolation as the insertion depth is pretty shallow compared to UM3X.  Also the size of housing is a little too big, as my ears become...

    Quote:   It seems like you've taken some things out of context as well.   I never said you should practically "give away" your hard-earned gears, but make the price fair to the current market price.  And I'm suggesting that we should openly debate about prices on the classified thread...
