High End Audiophile thread

Just found out that my HD 595's have been finally repaired so hopefully I get them back this week. As far as I know the headband changed to Magic Red version so it should end up looking like this:

Cool? :nerd:

 

Nice color.

 

I think that looks great.

 

Yeah, those look very sharp.

 

Yes indeed! They look pretty damn good!:thumbup:

 

I got the Energy Take Classics a couple days ago
the satellites sound great,I not sold on the sub(8 inch/w 200 amp)
I also have a AR112PS(12 inch/w 120watt amp) that I could substitute instead
So I am finished for now

 

Finally...

Pretty neat. I think I prefer this to original.

 

'Grats, that does look very nice!:thumbup:

 

So far I like the Numark N-wave 360's I just gotta get speaker stands to get them ear level,Found out their Near-fields Monitors so i had to make sure i place them correctly.

Edit: any one know any Speaker stands I can place on a desk so i can get the speakers ear level. With some kind of adjustment for height?

 

I've seen some use some sort of angled foam-like stands that help absorb vibrations from the speakers. They angle the speakers so that they'd be firing to the ears as one sits in front of the monitor. The supposedly good ones aren't exactly cheap though....

 

Yah, Genelec Iso Pad was one of the first (afaik) if not the first of those.

There are few different ways to use those.

Cheap ones:

Genelec does have speaker stands with height adjustment but those cost about as much as the monitors you bought...

Setting the speakers to correct angle should help, or just put some boxes/books under those. How hight from the desk you want to position your speakers ?

 

Thanks. My ears are thanking me. HD 595 is just incredibly comfortable vs. HD668B. It fits on my head perfectly (let alone sound quality difference, especially soundstage).

 

Actually ,after listening to the sub for a few days
It's quite capable in the small room I have
It will actually get the windows rumbling ,lol

 

Bought an old HP DC7800 (upgraded RAM to 4gb and HDD to a WD Blue 250GB + 64bit Vista HP), this will be my music server of sort, will be using it for audio appreciation as well as for watching vids (hence the speaker) when I go to bed. I'd gotten a MS AIO keyboard so I can do some lazy surfing in bed.....

 

Officially back in the HD650 club, as of today

 

Congrats, that the last set of cans that I bought. They seemed to improve with burn in.

 

Nice ^

 

Thanks....hope to have them burned in in a couple of weeks

 

'Grats on that excellent purchase, gridiron whirlw, awesome can!:thumbup:

Following some suggestions, I'd gotten two Ikea toilet paper holder to mount under my table tops, they look pretty nice and serve well as headphone holders.....


.....and yes, I still do use the HX Cloud from time to time.

 

Not really high end, but i bought altec lansing ada955 speakers for 25 euros.

They say the sub is the size of a mid tower case lol.

Lateley ive become an fanboy lol, this is the fourth altec lancing speakers ive bought.
