    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...

    I'm at work and my new TH900's are sitting behind me in their box. I might have to ask to take off a little early today!

    Audeze LCD-3 vs Fostex TH-900?

    ^^^ Well DSG, I for one am interested in hearing your opinion on the Audeze's. But for now, I suggest we both revel in the new Fostex TH900's we will be getting tomorrow. That is all...

    Audeze LCD-3 vs Fostex TH-900?

    Quote: Hey there sir, I suspect I might have the same experience. I'm really looking forward to listening to bands like "The Knife" or perhaps "Atoms for Peace" on the Fostex cans.

    Audeze LCD-3 vs Fostex TH-900?

    No reason to think they won't sound great with a WA6SE, I have no idea. I just didn't get the big deal with the Lyr/BiFrost combo. It's like everything in this hobby.

    Audeze LCD-3 vs Fostex TH-900?

    ^^^ Sweet DSG!! I know I'm excited, and glad to see someone will share that excitement with me! The LCD-3's are fantastic. They are particular about amps though. When I got mine I was running a BiFrost/Lyr combo and I was like "OK where's the beef?". Then I got the Stratus and I heard what the...

    Audeze LCD-3 vs Fostex TH-900?

    Just as a public service announcement. Headroom is selling the TH900's for $1,499.00 with free shipping. I just ordered a pair, but since I'm impatient went for next day air. So, I hope to have them by Friday and complete my LCD-3, HD800, TH900 trifecta! :-)

    DNA Stratus 2A3 amplifier - first impressions

    Quote: I'm running an EML 5U4G and Sophia Princesses in my Stratus. To my ears the EML primarily tightened up the bass. I can't comment on their 2A3 tubes, but have been completely satisfied with the Sophia's. I would love to try the EML 2A3's but doubt I will spring for them anytime soon...

    Hey there, welcome aboard! I for one am a cable/interconnect believer as I have heard a huge difference with my setup. A source that many people in the US for cables is http://www.thecableco.com. You might be interested in checking out their fairly exhaustive list to get an idea about brands and...
