| headphone amp question You might want to bring your question over to Head-Fi.org, if you can tolerate the signal/noise ratio of the posts there. There's a whole bunch of great headphone amps that would work well with the 580 as they're not that difficult to drive. It re... | |
| Is iPod Digital Output Possible? 03-06-11: GordguideThere is no digital out available via the iPod's USB (or Firewire) ports on the 30-pin connector. There is an analog out at line level there, and it is much superior to the iPod's built-in headphone amplifier, so that is the out... | |
| So, what DON'T you spend money on? ...and if it weren't for the smoke, I'd probably spend money on the occasional spliff, too.Tvad, ...probably still not great for the cycling though.LOL (and my pissing is not gonna win ANY contest anyway!! I COULD cheat and load up a squirt gun th... | |
| So, what DON'T you spend money on? No children.Ride motorcycle instead of car most of the time I have a choice (not having to haul gear).Have old cars (strictly a necessary evil to me). No cable (or any TV for the past 12 years).No newspapers or magazine subscriptions.Rarely go out... | |
| Headphone amp and headphones... ? I doubt that someone who asks forheadphone advice on an Audiogon Forum is interested in DIY solutions.Yeah, you're probably right. The only reason I mention them is that DIY plays a much bigger role in the mainstream world of Headphones than it do... | |
| Headphone amp and headphones... ? I said "all you need to know". If you can't be very pleased with what's there, you will just confuse yourself further by scrounging around in the underbrush.I suppose if you cared to limit yourself to their selection and their opinions then you co... | |
| Headphone amp and headphones... ? I dont want to go in to details, where already mentioned head fi org may be a good place to search, but be prepared to read a lot of noncense and hype between as well.Good advice. I concur, be prepared and bring the hip waders. There are some good... | |
| Headphone amp and headphones... ? $1500 headphones are the equivelant of $20,000+ speakers paired with $15,000 worth of monoblocks. If you're going to spend the big bucks on this set up, buy a Cary SLI-80 and some Sennheisers, but don't waste your money. What's your music preferen... | |
| Headphone amp and headphones... ? Everything you need to know about headphones is at www.headphone.comIt's certainly a useful resource, but this statement is far from accurate IMO. Not only is there zero info on LCD-2's there, as Branislav points out, but there's an entire world o... | |
| Headphone amp and headphones... ? The LCD-2's clamp pretty tightly but I have not tried them myself while laying down. I also probably don't have the same head you do (that'd be quite a coincidence) so even if I had tried it I don't think the information would necessarily apply to... | |
| Headphone amp and headphones... ? Thank you for your detailed answer. I have another question regarding their ability to play at lower volume...which is what I do most of the time...I've heard they are not particularly good at that. Would you agree with that statement? I heard tha... | |
| Most Challenging CD Yes Marco, that's correct.Both Yanni and Kenny G are uncredited.I'm waiting on the Mobile Fidelity Gold remaster mono box set version with the bonus CD, that has a previously unreleased cut where John Tesh pays a surprise visit to the studio and a... | |
| Most Challenging CD Without a doubt "Michael Bolton Sings Celine Dion's Greatest Hits".Now that's challenging.Hey Bill - isn't that the one Yanni plays on but isn't listed in the credits? | |
| Headphone amp and headphones... ? Jax 2, did you have a chance to upgrade the cable on your Audeze? And what kind of amplification do you use with good results? Thank youHey Brano - Yes, I'm currently using a 4-pin balanced cable from Norse Audio (TigzStudio on Head-fi - Trevor). ... | |
| Headphone amp and headphones... ? Stax certainly have a unique sound, but they are definitely not for everyone. You should certainly listen before you buy if possible. I agree that headphones can be very subjective and also add very distinctive from each other. The only problem su... |
