jjinh Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Me too! I believe it starts with the letter Q. Yes, a lower case 'q'...
fetischizm Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 hehe, so the game is up, trying (but not trying too hard) to remain a bit anonymous, sux having everything you say scrutinized all the time because of a certain 3 letter tag under the username. guess its time I emailed the mods here. but if anyone reviewed my posts you would see nothing out of order. that was the point. i'm already too busy at the moment to be drumming up any more business anyway. yes, lower case q
~Samuel~ Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 While i realise there is the showcase forum i thought it would be a nice idea to start a thread here in the headphone forum for members to post up pictures of their headphone systems. Ill start with mine, nothing to special given my love for speakers. Just a Sony CDP XE200 into the G&W TW-J1 headphone amplifier, interconnects are JIB Premium interconnects. Headphones are Audio-Technica ES7's or AKG 240 studio's. Great for late night listening (shared house) Come on guys, show us you headphones setups :popcorn 2
goooobags Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 This is the only picture of my set up that I have and unfortunately Its packed away in boxes since im away for work for the time being. It consists of AKG K701 and a Millet MiniMAX. Not sure what tubes are in the minimax though. I also have a Corda Cantate which out for a warranty job (and has been for about 3 months now...) and a Bottlehead SEX amp which is somewhere in Australia from what I can work out from online tracking. The problem is my soldering iron and tools are also packed away in boxes and wont see the light of day for another month or so.
Batty Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Here's what I use. The amp is a kit from Oatley Electronics, sound is good but valves tend to ring if knocked. the DAC is a Kit too, this time from Hong Kong Phones are Sennie HD414s The Media Player is a Creative Zen X-Fi wireless so can stream from the PC too.

Janjuggler Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 ford could you get it a little blacker ....
ford Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 fordcould you get it a little blacker .... That Pic is real,I live in semi darkness. That way the furniture (Black) blends into the shadows. 10 years ago I bought 5 spare lightbulbs,I still have them. The reason the doors are white is so I can find them at night. 1
scotttb Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I use Ultimate Ears UE-10 Pro's with a Zephone 'Twilight' cable, excellent earbuds to say the least!
peterpowerpop Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I currently have the Audio-Technica AD-700 – and love 'em. Up until then I used to be a Sennheiser man through and through (my first pair was the wonderful HD424 I bought in the 80's), but since getting the AD-700... well, let's just say that I ain't a Sennheiser man no more. I'm looking forward to (eventually) getting the AD-900 sometime. (Just like the 700's, only better!)
arcas Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Currently using UE triple fi 10's, Senn 595 and Beyer DT770Pro. Cowon J3 as portable player with UE's.
heman_ Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 just added some Sennheiser HD-25 I-IIs to the mix. Now i just use them and my SE530 customs
LogicprObe Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 AKG 701's. Also have a couple of pairs of sub $200 Sennys around here somewhere.
Kid A Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 All I've got now is Stax SR-507 and some older SR 5s. Great sound!
biologist Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Just bought my girlfriend some Etymotic ER-4P canal phones She was just astounded at the quality of the reproduction and will also be using them on her long haul flights OS as much to listen to music as to reduce the background flight noise. They have a 42 dB background noise drop when correctly inserted, that certainly helps one to sleep on a plane! At home I have a set of AKG 242 HD and a Sennheiser RS 120 remote headphone I used when sharing house (marvelous piece of kit for such circumstances). I've also got a set of Sennheiser 558s that are on loan to a friend who developed sensitivity ulcers in her ear canals from inserted canal phones and can only use the 'over the ear' headphones now. Mind you, her original canal phones were rubbish and she just loves the Sennheisers.
nickonsound Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Just got the AKG-K702. They are paired with the HA-160D, and i have been impressed so far. they sound like real life.
The Expanding Man Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 AKG: 701 K340 K140 Sennheiser: HD580 HD590 Etymotic ER4P Stax: SRX-Mk 3 Lambda Pro O2 Mk 1 I'm currently looking for a nice pair of Stax Sigmas. Once found, that should do me for a while

Once found, that should do me for a while haha yeah right, with the new flagship model stax out?? I dont think so
James Hornby Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 I have a pair of grado rs1i which i really like. Would like to add something completely different to the mix but want to get a dac/ headphone amp first. I must say it has been amazing to read some of the stuff some members have- there are incredible collections out there.
kesa32 Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Just recently got a pair of Fischer Audio DBA - 02's ...great IEM's for the money
nickonsound Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Does anyone else own a set of AKG 272HD's, or am i the only one:popcorn I was about to grab one of these, but got a better deal on the K702's. Couldn't resist lol
wilyam Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Shure SE210 IEM's Good Isolation ~20db (with the comply foam tips) nice flat response. Similar sound to some nice bookshelf speakers i guess Shure SRH840 (Picked em up today ) Fantastic sound and good stereo imaging for closed headphones! (so far at least but gotta burn em in a bit to see their true colours)
ford Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Just been running some Quad 12LA for a few weeks,these are keepers,a great nearfield monitor. [ATTACH=CONFIG]28979[/ATTACH]
