Reading the new 6moons preview of a very interesting Raal loudspeaker, on the bottom of one of the pages is a picture of a prototype ribbon headphone. It's not much to look at presently and the builder seems a bit doubtful of the markets interest in a ribbon headphone. 6moons.com - industry...

Here I am, on record in Head-Fi, stating that a comparison between the HD800 and the HD650 is a stretch, and proposing to compare two headphones as different as the HD800 and the DX1000. But some rogue lobe tells me it must be done. In this corner: The FOTM, culmination of years of R&D by...

Just came into some money and i have around £1500 to spend that wont cause a divorce, question is HD800 or not. I have heard it now a few times and have been VERY impressed with it each time. I havent heard anything else of a comparable quality however, D7000 , DX1000, T1 , PS1000 etc.   Is...

I'm upgrading my amp and DAC very soon to a ~$1500 setup (undecided as to what amp and DAC yet), and in about half a year I intend to upgrade my headphones as well, so I thought I would ask here. I don't have any preference between open and closed, but I primarily listen to any type of rock...

Most of us around here are aware of the JVC DX1000 woodies, which are held by some to be among the best dynamics on the market. A keen reader lately would also have spotted news of two new high/mid-end JVC canalphones (one of them wooden) and a semi high-end aluminum earclip that at least one...

I'm looking for closed cans for minimal sound leak. I like the look/colour of the Denon D2000 but I'm sure there are some better sounding cans. I listen to vocal trance, alternative rock, metal, and bands like Forever the Sickest Kids... Basically anything that isn't jazz or classical. I also...

Hi,   Looking for an all rounder amp /SS or TUBE/ for JVC DX1000.   My favorite sound signature, music and DAC:   - strong but no overhang and well articulated bassline - transparent mids and clear tremble - excellent dynamics - good instrument separation   - to listen to...

This is a terrific headphone that gets very little "love" on this site. I know it's pricey, and somewhat hard to get in the US, so I wondered -- how many Head-fiers are there out there who own and love this can? I sure do. Has probably the best bass I have ever heard from a headphone. Its...

DIY from  thailand  

Some time ago, I was pleasantly surprised to find the big Best Denki ("Best Electric") in the city had a dedicated high-end headphone listening table, including a Luxman P-1u, AT amps and Yamaha and other SACD players. The current round of headphones present on the table were: Denon D2000 and...

I copied this thread title from the "Full-size Amps" forum, as it probably more correctly belongs here. Thanks to Lucifix for beginning this thread, which undoubtedly will grow to some great length! I spent considerable time tonite running thru part of my opamp supply, namely the ones that I...

What headphones do YOU usually use when watching movies?   1. make / model 2. source 3. amplification 4. comments   My movie watching rig: 1. Philips HP910 (modded) 2. XS71 sound card 3. GoVibe V5 - 9v battery 4. Good sound but a little more aggressive than I'd like for movies.

  Quick note: In case you're wondering why I started a thread on this: I was one of 4 people whom Jude contacted to ask if we could continue posting to our Head-fi blogs post-software change-over.  As there isn't any blog software presently, our blogs are now forums.     It's always...

I'm hoping the 700s are not only cheaper but better too.
