Audio Technica ATH-M40x: The Little Brother that Could
Link? Data? Graphs and measurements? :) I did find these, but no data there: http://www.agdraudio.com/cmoy%20history.html http://www.agdraudio.com/super%20cmoy%20prices.html And doesn't seem like you can buy a complete amp. Just the board?- Kevin Brown

Audio Technica ATH-M40x: The Little Brother that Could
Here is a review with measurements of the Schiit amp. It's ok.

Audio Technica ATH-M40x: The Little Brother that Could
These? http://www.zmfheadphones.com/pads-and-cables/zmf-suede-earpads Any cheaper place to get them? The Shure 940 pads are less than $20. And when you pick perforated Eikon from the drop down menu there, goes up to $70 ...- Kevin Brown

Audio Technica ATH-M40x: The Little Brother that Could
Here is Solderdude's PDF for those inclined for a refresh. A relatively cheap way to improve the M40x's over stock. And ... the Shure earpads are more comfortable too. ;)- Kevin Brown

I *mus* be missing something: where is the *constructiveness* of your post? Or are you just a TROLL? Please remove the notification for you of this thread. That way, others of us who are interested in these headphones don't have to be bothered by your meaningless posts. Thank you, now...- Kevin Brown

Audio Technica ATH-M40x: The Little Brother that Could
Dude, I *live* in California, and our air has been affected by the fires for close to 3 weeks. Life goes on. If I want to change the pads on my not-5-star-for-me M40x's, who are you to judge? Maybe you should go find another thread where you can offer some *constructive* criticism. Have a...- Kevin Brown

Audio Technica ATH-M40x: The Little Brother that Could
I need to re-dig this up (and I posted about it in here before, and it's probably linked in here somewhere), but there is solderdude's PDF about modding these guys. Shure 940 pads to clamp down on the low end a little, and 2mm of felt in front of the drivers to tame the treble some. I...- Kevin Brown

Choosing between the Meze 99 Classics and the DT770
I see what you mean. The bass of the Meze is better supported by the rest of the spectrum. I like this: "The meze has a more forgiving and relaxed bass".- Kevin Brown

Choosing between the Meze 99 Classics and the DT770
There are actually 4 versions of the DT 880's: 32, 80, 250, and the older (harder to find) 600's. (I don't think you can get the 600's new any longer though.) The 80's definitely have more low end, but I've seen that the others, the 32, 250, and 600, all have more or less the same sound...- Kevin Brown

Choosing between the Meze 99 Classics and the DT770
The strong bass of the Meze's has me pausing there. I want a little V-shape, a little bit "fun" vs flat/accurate, but it's hard to tell how the Classics are in that regard. The DT770 Pro 80 ohm also seems to be that way, whereas the 250's or 600 ohm models might be a little more up my alley.- Kevin Brown

Choosing between the Meze 99 Classics and the DT770
K712 Pro, cool. I have the K553 Pro's now, and like them a lot, but I think they could use a little more low end.- Kevin Brown

Which ones would you pick? Meze 99 Vs. DT770 Vs. T70 Vs. MDR1A Vs. P7 Vs. Momentum 2.0 Vs. AKG 550
Any feedback? I have the AKG K553 Pro's now, but they are a little bass-lite. I'm not a basshead, but a little more low end balanced with "there" but laid back highs is what I'm looking for. I also have the Meze 99 Classics on my list, but at least one person said he liked the DT770's more.- Kevin Brown

Meze 99 Classics vs. AKG K551
^^^ Cool, I'll look at the DT 770's more intently then, thanks! I'm using work laptop through a AMB/MrX y2 (DAC) + a CKKIII (amp).- Kevin Brown
