Audio Technica (or audio technica) seems to have an unusual tuning philosophy, at least for the wooden closed-back headphones I've owned/tried. Is it fair to say they have a controversial tuning? (It reminds me a bit of the Audioquest NightHawk in this regard, which I love). If you have any...

Greetings Head-Fi'ers, I just recently picked up the Grande by the Italian company Spirit Torino. While it's clearly apparent this will not be everyone's cup of tea, I am enjoying them a lot. It's a beautiful product, all the way down to the packaging. Taking the best of the older Grado vision...

Hi All, Just wondering if any Head-Fi'ers have experience with both the HD800 and HD800s when listening to classical music. My best headphone for classical is the HD800-- that is in fact all I use the headphone for. Is the S a step forward for this genre? Or possibly not quite as good? I...

Hi All,   I love my Beyerdynamic DT880's, but after about six months of use the pleather (?) cover on the headband started disintegrating, leaving a sticky residue in contact with the skin. I'd take the 'phones off after a session and see that it had taken quite a few hairs out of my balding...

Hi Everyone,   This is my first post here. I was hoping to get advice on a new headphone amp. I'm interested in purchasing a solid state amp for approx. $1,000 or less. Currently I just use the headphone section of my Arcam Delta 290 integrated amp. I only ever compared it to an entry level...
