    Reply to review by 'da5id' on item 'Noble Audio Django UIEM'

    I just received the Django's today, and really enjoyed your review. My initial impression is very favorable. The soundstage is big but not unrealistic, lots of air around instruments and vocals where everything resides in it's own space. I really like the speed of these things too. My favorite...

    The Chord Hugo TT is announced.

    I listened to the TT today at CES with a pair of LCD-XC's that were connected to it. I thought it sounded indistinguishable from my Hugo, which I completely expected, but for such a brief listen I can't be sure. If I didn't already have an Invicta, the TT would be on my short list. The Chord rep...

    DNA Stratus 2A3 amplifier - first impressions

    I recently purchased a WyWires Red balanced cable for my HD800's too. It really made the Sennheisers sound a lot more refined. I'm a WyWires fan though.

    What Are You Listening To Right Now?

      Beautifully recorded, lovely textures and a great backup band. And then there is Joanna's gorgeous voice, harp and lyrics. Lovely album!

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Quote:   Hard question, but I would characterize the Fostex as more complex than the Sennheisers. I think that the HD-800's are very smooth and the TH900's are more rich. That probably is nonsensical as I don't really know how to describe sound. But I guess that there is just more going...

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Quote: Chiming in on this one. My TH900 mids haven't struck me as recessed. The first night I had them (last Friday) I expected to be a little disappointed in the mids but didn't find them wanting. Also the comment on the highs doesn't apply for me. The highs are one of the elements that I...

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Quote: Yeah, I've listened to Rush, Zappa, Queen, the Stones, Skunk Anansie, Wilco, and King Crimson so far this evening. Honestly, these sound pretty damn good on all of the genre's I've listened to so far. Haven't tried any Jazz or Classical yet. Frank Zappa's Joe's Garage sounds...

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Quote: Wow do I agree with that! The more I listen, the more I think these might become my favorite headphones. Listening to New Order at the moment and hearing a very faint vocoder along with the vocals in Bizarre Love Triangle that I have definitely not heard before. Earlier I was...
