Nice collection akwok... too bad you never made the jump to speakers like we talked about before. What happened to the Sonus Fabers?

Lack of room man.. I would've jumped for Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors two weeks ago for $2.4k if I had the space..

The move to the new house fell through.. so can't go to speakers anytime soon.
 
Akwok, you haven't heard headphones till you have heard the HE90. Every purchase you make that isn't the HE90 is just a waste of time

:D

PINT! How does it sound?

Other then the high noise floor and soundstage it sounds very much like a hornet.

How's it compare to it's predecessor, the MINT?

Soundwise:
they are pretty close.

Otherwise:
The PINT is cheaper to build, easier to solder (if you think like I do that SMT is easier), has some nicer features (for example a built in battery recharger) and it's a little bit more flexible then the original mint was.
 
Bass heaven just arrived! DT770's :D

Now it's Firestone Cute Beyond > HD-595 / DT770Pro

with:

Source #2: Reloop RP-2000Mk3 > TC7750

Turntable is about to be sold, will be replaced with something more HiFi oriented. As will the Logitech Z-2300... my headphones make it useless, I never listen to it.

On the move:

Edit:

Towert7 asked me to compare the HD-595 and the DT770, I figure I'll just post it here aswell, might help some people.

Hey,

it all depends on what kind of music you like. The DT770 is, in my opinion, only suited for electronica and possibly also rap/r&b. It has massive (and I mean massive, there's nothing I've heard that compares to it, other than turning my logitech z-2300's bass knob to 3/4ths... but that doesn't sound nearly as good and controlled) bass, but the highs are a bit edgy and the mids are a bit distorted. The bass really is the thing to buy the DT770 for, the rest of the spectrum isn't all that great. It's a nice headphone, but the HD-595 stomps all over it in giving a realistic sound. The mids are much better with the HD-595, and it gives a much clearer and lighter presentation of the sound. The bass is great on the HD-595, just not so present.

All in all, if you listen to music that's not very bass oriented (rock, pop, etc), the HD-595 is the way to go. I listen to alot of techno and house though, and on that ground the DT770 is just a very, very fun can to listen to. It turns songs that sound a bit bland with the HD-595 into fun headbanging songs.

The DT770 does need a good amp though, I run my HD-595 on low gain mode with the volume between 1 and 4 out of 10, and I need to run the DT770 on high gain mode, with the volume between 3 and 6 out of 10.

Hope it helped :)

Silly protector thing removed offcourse.
 
I think my next build will be a PINT. Looks pretty sweet!

edit - MisterX, what enclosure is that, and how much was it? Looks like it would be easier to work with than an Altoids tin.

I would say they are pretty close. ;)

easier if soldering those little parts is not a problem for you.

X-box enclosure.
$25 shipped. :eek:

The Hammond 1455C801 will also work and it will only cost $9 but forget fitting two batteries in one of those.

for the zs?

I took it out after using it forever when I got my new lian,I thought it was just in the way since I only used the headphone port :x so I got splitter and took that thing out <3
 
sdgserv, I really like your headphone stand. It looks like a typical banana stand, yet it has a wooden base which I have yet to see.

Where did you get them?

I can't remember, but it has everything unusual in it..I will get you the name ASAP. I think they were $9 each..They have like 5 different bannana hangers. So I grabbed 2..
 
No, but I'm sure they have them..I remember it was next to a bar and that pretty much sums up that day :)

I have the HD600's

No amp yet besides my audigy 2 ZS front panel, I'll be picking up a kotel receiver and B&W speakers.
 
Saturine2... when you get tired of the Dynahi LMK I would like to give them a try. I am real close to a Maple Ear or a GS-1 :)
 
sdgserv, when I get the MPX3 Slam in a few months, I'd be glad to let you borrow the Dynahi provided you pay shipping both ways. It is kinda heavy though, the entire package clocked in at 33lbs :eek:
 
Nice photo skeeder, too bad that marblized look on the casing and headband looks kinda fugly IMO. Would look cool if u sanded em up and repainted ;)

Off-topic tho, what camera do you use?

Sony MDR-SA5000
Sony CDR-770
Audiotechnica ATH-A900
