| The Best Audiophile Earphones headphones and Amp I just recently plunged into the world of headphones and am having a slight problem adjusting to the new listening experience. Generally I find headphones to sound, well, like headphones. The soundstage is small and doesn't sound as big and airy l... | |
| Anyone Find Headphones To Be Uncomfortable Thanks for the words of encouragement. Much appreciated. I surely hope I can get used to the headphones soon and yes, it appears that both my head and ears need some time to break-in to these. Cheers. | |
| Why do I like Class AB better than Class A? I've owned the SA100 MkIII and the difference between Class A and Class AB isn't that huge though appreciable. Similarly I find the sound to be smoother, warmer, more organic and liquid with Class A. Music sounds leaner, sharper and more crisp in ... | |
| Marten Bird 2, B&W 800 Diamond or Wilson Sasha I heard that dealers or demonstrators in Bangkok hifi shows are good in setting up systems which showcase a near full potential of loudspeakers and/or components on display. You might want to check out the next upcoming show to have a feel of the ... | |
| For money Quality which is better arcam or NAD? I'd pick the NAD. Personally I find the Arcam to be flat sounding. Reliability-wise, I have owned an Arcam amp for about 2+ years before selling it to another user. After about a week the new owner called me to inform the transformer blew up. | |
| AES/EBU, Digital or Coaxial Between Transport-DAC Thanks for the information Audiofreak32. Just checked on the Linn DS. At a retail of $20k, I wouldn't be surprised if it outperformed CD players costing up to $10k or more. | |
| AES/EBU, Digital or Coaxial Between Transport-DAC Thanks for the prompt response. Much appreciated. It appears that the sturdy construction of AES/EBU is in some ways superior to both toslink and S/PDIF. Similarly I read that toslink is preferred over S/PDIF, though I agree that unknown variables... | |
| Dac magic plus Thanks for the information Dmgoodman. Much appreciated. It appears that headphone outs on most DACs don't really have much in them in comparison to good dedicated headphone amps such as the Burson. Cheers. | |
| Dac magic plus Dmgoodman, is there any noticeable difference when the HD-650 is used with the DACMagic Plus(via its headphone socket) and the Burson headphone amp? Is the difference appreciable or subtle? Your thoughts are appreciated. | |
| Has anyone heard avalons vs audio physic I only have experience with the Avantera having listened to it couple of times at a friend's place. Typical German quality - neutral, clean, detailed and dynamic. It hits hard and go low down the frequency spectrum. There isn't any disjoint betwee... | |
| Harbeth hl5 vs Dali Euphonia SM4 Shakey - Yes I kept the speakers for 3 years. I was trying to make them work in my system with amp swaps. As a side note, I have other speakers to turn to(B&W CDM1SE and Proacs) when the Sonus Fabers are not singing. They look splendid in pian... | |
| Harbeth hl5 vs Dali Euphonia SM4 05-03-12: Rgs92Interesting post to me because I used to own SHL5s and sold them because I found them to lack enough definition, and I also have the Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors and find these to have significantly more definition and insight into ... | |
| ProAc Response 2.5 transparent? As you may have known, all thoughts and comments on sonic characteristics of loudspeakers are relative. I've listened to the Response 2.5 twice. The first encounter was 9 to 10 years ago at the dealer, the last time was about 3 years ago when the ... | |
| Headphone amp combo ideas? Thanks for the response, much appreciated. It is good to hear the Headline can drive the T1s. Just a bit wary on the combination as the Headline doesn't seem to be a very popular headphone amp amongst regular folks. The Beyerdynamic A1 looks nice ... | |
| Review: Harbeth Super HL-5 Speaker Hi Saabuser, Those stands are custom made. Thin, hollow and lightweight open-frame stands. |
