I think there would be a good niche market for a soundcard with a tube pre-amp. I guess you could also build a small tube pre-amp and output your sound to that.

How ergonomical are these headphones? I was mainly thinking of the Sennheiser HD-650. High-fidelity is always nice, but what's the point of good headphones if you can't use them? While I'm looking for good sound, I want to be sure I can use them 24/7 (well nearly...) without getting soar ears. Ergonomically they should be excellent in order for me to see the point.
Anyone got any experiences with these or some other headphones? Can you wear them for several days straigh (LAN parties) without them getting on your mind and starting to be too heavy/bothersome/annoying/whatever?
Currently I'm on a Plantronics DSP-500 Headset, which ergonomically is quite alright. But they sport no noise-isolation whatsoever, and that's getting on my nerves too. Don't know how ergonomical noise-isolated headphones are though?
Thanks ~ Kris
Get ATH A900, then. They are the most comfortable of the bunch, and are also quite isolating. It is my current headphone
I like my Bose headphones.
does anyone thats a sound guru have a pair of AKG K44's?
cus i have a pair of them and for 20 bucks they seem freakishly good.... just wanting another opinion
Hmm..
Im interested in building a new amp ive done a pimeta and own a cmoy. Im looking for something better I was on head-fi.org briefly and a few people suggested a Millet Hybrid is that the same thing as M^3? or is the M^3 known as the M3 here http://www.headwize.com/ubb/showpage...num=3&tid=6339
The headphones ill be using will be 1 of the 3 if not 2 of the 3 as follows.
SA-5000, HD650/595
Basically im looking for a amp in the 200-300$ price range considering getting 1 built but id prefer to try DIY and have someone fix it if I dork it than not try at all. What do you suggest?
Good find I got here. THANKS...
Could this list still be considered up to date? Looking to buy a pair.
id say its pretty much up to date.
prehaps post what your about to buy and people will tell your there experiance with simular setups.
I bought the Senny HD280 Pro and they sound great...
I'm wondering how the AT500 sound like though...
btw I personally didn't think the X-Fi sounded all that great. At least not for the price. (had the plat) That's why I dont have it in my system.
I have the Sennheiser HD515s, and before that I had a set of old HD414SLs, they are very impressive headphones, well built, excellent sound quality ,if a little "laid back" as mentioned, I can defonatly recomend the HD515s as they are only about £60, and for the money they are excellent.

Sony MDR-V700 is where my money's at :)
I use HD 650's with the foam "veil" removed and leggs panty hose in their place. It makes for a clearer, less muffled sound.
Any opinions on the Skullcandy line of headgear? I've been on the fence about ordering them, from what I understand the Skullcrushers are where it's at..
Hmm, those A900 headphones really do look and sound awesome. I'll probably pick up one soon.
Good guide
Should put some of the Ultimate Ears offerings up there :)
I have a pair of UE SuperFi 5Pro and I absolutely love them :up:

Hey guys, I was looking at the Audio-Technica ATH-A700 Headphones, they seem like very good headphones, inbetween the AT-500 and AT-900 sets, any opinions??
