    guess i will try out the hfi series thoroughly @ stereo then.

    you guys going to stock the *soon to be released* hfi 2400 ?

    what genre of music did you try the both cans with ?

    Because.. personally owning the k702, the k70* is simply one of the best if you are comparing classical or jazz lol.

     

    Or should i phase another question.

    Any headphone recommendation for pop ?

    Budget around 600+ ?

     

    I tried the Pro900 with a Jpop, jazz and classical track. You don't need a lot of bass for classical, pop still sounds ok with rolled-off treble, but everything sounds bad when the midrange is recessed badly, which was the case for the Pro900.

     

    I enjoy pop with my K240 Studio and Sextett, HD650 would also be a nice choice with the right amp.

     

     

    recable it! :naughty:

     

    ALO SXC cable was awesome with the HD650 when I tried them with the GS Solo. It had a wide 3D soundstage, no veil and very detailed.

    :sweat: kchew wat happen to yur fuse?

    omg lucky the fuse broke and yur rig is alrite or u will need to move to balanced setup hahaha :grin:

    nah i already ampless now for a time being so my main aim is amp for now

    for cable i will need cos i dun have any balanced cables and all my cans are undergoing minor surgery to xlr ..... :sweat:

    darkopi :cans: some1 is confirming getting a zana Deux amp so we will have a wide variety of balanced amp to try out hehe

    p.s.- some1 also getting a K1000 btw......wonder which balanced amp have good synergy with it? :shifty:

     

    btw kchew try the silver hifi fuse if u like fast and good details...

    although furutech is much better wider soundstage and fast transient attacks but lacks focus....

    i think mix around with gold/silver fuse and furutech to achieve balance spectrum

     

    It blew when I turned on my router, and after I took it out it fell apart. :shocking:

     

     

    some kind of "fire chicken"? :P

     

    Hot amp, literally. :D

    Some impresions:

     

    EAR HP4:

    One of the most impressive amps there, really brought out the music no matter what headphone I tried. I didn't bother listening critically but just enjoyed whatever was playing, even if it were hard rock. Could survive a 4-way gangbang with HD800, K240 Sextett, AD2000 and PS-1000 with oodles of power left to spare.

     

    Orpheus CDP:

    Fantastic pairing with HP4, they are so liquid and detailed together.

     

    Electrostats with Blue Hawaii:

    Only heard them for 5 mins when a rock CD was being played, not exactly my favourite genre. Still, they promptly squashed my notion that electrostats have no bass. Imaging and detail are fantastic. HE-60 was a bit too bright for me, Omega was a little uncomfortable, Jade was perfect for me.

     

    Darkvoice 337:

    Fantastic pairing with AD2000. Fast, punchy and lush. 2nd favourite amp with my AD2000 after the HP4.

     

    RWA Isabellina:

    Creamy smooth and lush, although treble was not as extended as expected. Would make a great bedside rig playing jazz.

     

    HD800:

    Favourite so far was the one with Oyaide connectors, forgot what cable it was. Mundorf and Black Dragon were a little too warm for me, APS recabled with Furutech rhodiums was a great 2nd place. Shockingly good imaging and soundstage.

     

    Headroom Balanced Desktop:

    Great sound in a tiny package. I want one in my office now.

     

    AstinTrew CDP:

    Very nice lush sound. Digital output to my Stello DA100 reminded me that I need to get a proper full-sized CDP soon instead of relying on a PCDP.

     

    I'm still banging my head at the missed chance to try the CEC belt-driven CDP and the Naim set. The queue was just too long for those for a good reason I guess.

    Now you can hold hand with Kchew. :grin:

     

    Team AKG is not that gay. :bash:

     

    Jojo, you wanna know how the K701 will perform with the Dr.DAC right? I'll be at Audio Basic tomorrow after my lunch, will be bringing my K701. :k701smile:

    *Edit*

    Urgh, forgot tomorrow is Comex, looks like I'll pop by next week instead.
