True that, the new Hifiman HE1000 looks the business (if somewhat dear at $3000  :faint:) The phones listed there are all solid, but some new guns like the Abyss and Mad Dogs are also intriguing, plus no list of high end cans is complete without the Grado PS1000 (say what you like about it...

The Beyers will need a good solid state amp, I have only listened to and own the 250ohm version, and they are very good. Open back has the downside of diminished bass slam and impact, so keep that in mind.

DT 880 from Beyer, amped right (think a beyerdynamic amp) and they sing loud and proud. Not sure where to go listen to headphones, that is one of the main issues around headphones is finding a place that has demo's available and dont mind letting you demo through various sources. I have...

dont exclude Beyerdynamic from the list, but from the above I would say the AKG are the nicer to own. A better build and more exciting sound over the sennies

Surprisingly yes, heard both. The SF have the richer and more full bodied sound. They have superior bass and fill a room better. The Spendor are more mid ranged focused, but they have a lovely over-all sound though not room filling. The SF are the more expensive speaker and they are something...

Been changing DAC's between HRT Streamer HD, Cambridge Audio Dacmagic, NuForce  and a meridian explorer to name a few. The best to my ears are the HRT and NuForce. They get a lot right, but I suspect that if I move up the DAC ladder (I really like the antelope audio's) then I might find I am...

The Phonitor 2 ticks that box beautifully, that said they are not a difficult load for amps (being orthos and all at), its more about finding the right source and amp combo. I find that LCD 2 can be too polite with the wrong kit and make you feel like you missing the upper reaches of detail...

Glad you enjoying them, a rather large step up (physically and sonically) from the momentums... Remember the Norflex for the neck before you eventually take them off and go to bed :BWAHAHAH:

Pssshhh like you have a filter  >:D

:popcorn: now is the time for popcorn

Audeze has been robbed of LCD series headphones.  :o http://www.head-fi.org/t/756874/audeze-robbed-of-lcd-series-headphones#post_11366209 So keep an eye out for too good to be true deals

violin and drums, violin probably takes it

This chappy is hunting for the elusive 'constructive dismissal'. So long as you keep detailed records of all his mis-deeds and have the evidence to prove he wasnt at work then nothing to worry about. The CCMA have a soft spot for Employee's, but the sheer number of reviews taken to the Labour...

Landed up grabbing the Headzone home set, supremely impressive for the price, still havent played with it properly but it sounds like Beyers should, nice and clean with decent punch. Tks for the heads up grumpybear  :dop:

$6k  :o that's close on R70 000.00 :moron: Im sorry that price is madness, no way that can be justified. Sure its pretty, I'm sure it sounds excellent but 70k for a headphone amp/DAC  :facepalm:

Cool thats not bad, as long as it isnt cheaper to import myself like so many other brands

I see a new addition to my family, hopefully the local pricing doesnt make it a daft prospect here like so many other brands

Headphones: The Audioquest Nighthawk Maybe Grado PS1000 or HiFiman HE6 (maybe their replacement is coming soon given the overhaul of the he500 and 400) Probably a nice DAC, would love the Antelope Audio Zodiac, but the price hurts abit

Well they 1000$ retail plus shipping and vat/customs, they can be had for abit less, but locally the HD800 are cheaper. The two headphones are very different to one another, the Audeze paints with a smoother but thicker brush, gets along well with almost all genres while the HD 800 is picky...
