  1. Bought March 05. Very well maintained. Still have original box and receipt. Asking $170 Call 96825953 to arrange for an audition.
  2. I find that this plugin adds a veil to the music, even with both options enabled. Better to use without.
  3. I auditioned the UM2 at Jaben some time back on my IPOD Shuffle. I did not find the sound dark at all. The highs were sweet and the balance was quite neutral overall. But then I was comparing it to my E2Cs... The UM2 is very sensitive though. I could hear a slight hiss when changing tracks on the Shuffle.
  4. What's the address for Anything Audio? Thanks
  5. Try the DH Labs D-75 with Eichmann copper bullet RCA plugs for around $80. Using it to connect my PC to a Bel Canto DAC2. The sound is fabulous. Did an A/B test with Cardas Lightning 15 and could not detect any significant difference. FYI, Cardas is going for around $450 if my memory serves me correctly.
  6. Jaben Network in Adelphi sells them too.
  7. Tried it. IMO, it sounds better with both the low crossfeed and highs boost options enabled. The effect is much more noticable than the standard crossfeed plugin (which I believe is from Naive Software) included with Foobar.
  8. If you are not using loudspeakers, I think what you are looking for is actually a preamp. No point paying for a loudspeaker amplifier circuit if you're not using it. There are many preamps on the market. For between $200-300, you can check out the Firestone tube preamp at Jaben Network. Or the passive preamp by Effective Audio for around the same price range. You might also want to check out Audionote's preowned section and Echoloft for deals.
  9. I find that the quality of demo sources and demo amps at Hung Brothers leaves much to be desired. It even makes the Senn HD650 sound like crap ;-) A better place to test the HD595 would be AVOne at Adelphi, where you have access to Marantz SACD players.
  10. This is a good article on making good CD copies. http://www.soundstageav.com/audiovideotrends/20050415.htm After reading the article, my interest was piqued and I applied parallel power filtering to my PC, installed ferrite clamps on the power cord and the cable from the power supply to the Yamaha CD-RW F-1 drive. Both the CDRW drive and the PC power supply are covered with Stillpoint ERS cloth. CDs are ripped to the harddisk with EAC, and then burned to the CD with Nero. I do find that CD-R copies produced this way do result in a tangible improvement in the sound quality, mainly to the focus and depth. These conclusions were derived from my own testing as well as blind testing with a non-audiophile (my sister-in-law). However, if the mastering quality is bad, the CD-R copy will also sound bad. Thats just the way it is.
  11. Hi, interested in your headphones. Contact me at 9_833_6229 to discuss. Thanks.
  12. Mint condition 10/10 with receipt and original packaging. Still under warranty with Coherence Audio. Brand new retailing at $250. Asking $200. Interested parties please call Brandon 98336229 Thanks
