I'm bummed to report that one of my kids just woke up sick and my wife's plans mean that I'll have to stay home with the sick one tomorrow. I'm...
I hear the same with mine. I don't find anything particularly bothersome about their FR, but the veil is pronounced and pervasive—it would have me...
I recently received some—Thanks, @philipmorgan! Not sure when I'll give it a try on my HD600s, but I will report back when I do.
Going a bit OT here, but for 7 Kleiber is good but I prefer Gardiner. Kleiber's performance is nicely paced, but IMHO too full, smooth, and...
I recently got to hear Carlos Kleiber's recording with the Vienna Philharmonic for the first time and was quite impressed with it. Generally, I...
My experience with some AT models unamped has been good, but their tonal balance is quite a bit different than you're looking for. Haven't had a...
I have the K7XX and HD600 on my desk right now and agree with your assessment in this case too. The HD650 obviously won't be quite as bright as...
I don't have much to offer, but assuming I'm able to come I can bring a new (silver driver) HD600 and/or AKG K7XX. I can also bring my Schiit...
I first got earplugs when I started doing a 1 1/2 hour subway commute regularly. I quickly noticed some temporary hearing loss after riding and...
I've used a Humanscale Liberty for the last eight years that I've been quite happy with. Got it used for a very reasonable price. It's a bit...
The 3kHz peak on my new HD600 is a bit more than I'd like out of my M2/M2 stack (usually characterized as neutral or slightly bright, I think)....
2/21 works for me as of now. We'll see if family obligations crop up that will keep me from making it. I'll try to let everyone know as soon as I...
Upper Manhattan here. Probably family obligations will keep me from attending, but I'd be like to come if I'm free. Anywhere near the subway works.
Not an idiot, but your comment did remind me of this:...
Thanks, CEE TEE. Glad to know I'm not crazy hearing it that way. Currently I'm using the M2/M2 stack, so no tube goodness here. I'm willing to...
If you're in the US and can wait for them to come back on Massdrop, I'd say the AKG K7XX (very similar to K712) are a good value at $200. The...
I picked up the HD600 during the recent Amazon sale and am very impressed. They're a noticeable step up from my K7XX in almost all respects: more...
I always used to enjoy Uncle Tupelo's Sandusky with my ATH-AD700 (no HD800, but a fairly excellent sound stage nonetheless)… [MEDIA]
I'd been coming at the ~2kHz peak the other way: boosting 1kHz by 2–3dB. To my ears, the ~2kHz peak is roughly in line with the boosted bass from...
I picked up the K7XX from the first drop a year ago and I just bought the HD600 during the recent Amazon sale ($239). I’m basically in agreement...
