For me I like those newbies to grow big and strong (based on their rig la) tongue.gif

putting bigger dose of poison (superlux in this case) will make them grow faster lol biggrin.gif

KSC75 recabled is on par with MS1 and superlux HD668B can beat MS1 so easily with proper dac/amp. whistling.gif

Been so long time never post in LYN..

I'm here for 2 thing, since they is so many people telling me how good the Superlux headphone is, as per described from lowyat forumer here. so i m so curious and have a look here...

1. Modded KSC75 do not sound near to Ms1i...That is a fact, i do really respect the effort contributed by PcWorks, my closed partner, However, i need the speak the truth here, Modded KSC75 have very good transparency, it refined the details from stock cable and make the sound very polite and if you give it a serious amp, it sound seriously good  notworthy.gif  thumbup.gif . However, i personally find that MS1i is sound better anyhow. as from the music presenation, and from the sound seperations, and from any other aspect, i find that modded ksc75 is not near to Ms1i in term of sound presentation and performances. However, from value wise, KSC75 rocksss  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

2. Also, for Superlux. I dont think it beat Ms1i as well doh.gif So sorry i m not disrespect of any fans here. I try most of the model, maybe all of the model... The initial point is not passed. It do not sound analog for me, it is far too digital for music presentations. The separations and detail presentation is awesome no doubt, but it is just very digital, Making your movie/music sound very dry...As such, personally, i will not rated that to be anyhow as good as ms1i, or even grado sr60i. At least the accuracy point is there.

So sorry, i really didnt mean to offense the brand and the fans....just say some idea on what i have heard.

Yeah I do think in terms of musicality grado and MS1i can definitely beat any superlux.Some of my friend do find the superlux HD668B to be boring when comes to music presentation (the ambient and all that).Not to mention that HD668B requires a very good amp/dac to shine very well unlike MS1i and KSC75 which can sound really great even on portable music player.

Sorry about the KSC75 recabled vs. MS1 thingy through.Probably because I like the recabled KSC75 very much I tend to be bias when comes to putting it against any other headphones models that supposed to be very good,at some point even better then the recabled KSC75 itself. doh.gif

Don't worry about it.Every impression from everyone is useful for those who might interested on buying any of those superlux product later on.It's more the merrier lol thumbup.gif

Wow,can beat MS1..
what about MS 1 wood mod driven by normal daps?

Nope the MS1 woodie mod is superior overall against HD668B.Woodie offers sweet mids,larger soundstage that HD668B can't produce. wink.gif

I've been listening to superlux HD668 for quite a while already before trying yours in Jaben last time.Hence the different can be heard pretty clear to me smile.gif

Anyway for velour pads I already tried those before.Comfortable as hell on my HD668 in comparison with the stock pads that HD668 come up with.I haven't notice the sound quality change yet since I tried those for a short while only.

I'll go and see my friend later and see if he can lend me the K240 for a while soon.

Seems like superlux has their own headphone amplifier product now

http://www.headfonia.com/superlux-ha3d-amplifier/

It's amazing considering the fact that it can drive 3 headphones at the same time. hmm.gif

It can be powered by an external adaptor! tongue.gif
The power switch has 3 positions: OFF,IN,EXT.
I see a socket marked 5-17VDC.

From the write up:
"If you have AC power available, the HA-3D also takes an external power supply in the range of 5V to 17V"

oh gosh how I could miss that.Thanks!

About "668B versus HD650" thing,sadly to say HD650 will win the match against it.HD650 was wider soundstage,better mids and doesn't suffer from too much simbilance that 668B has currently. wink.gif

How about price per performance bro? Any comments..?

I bought the 668B out of fun, coz I thought I should try other brands of headphones other then Sennheiser only (currently own Senn IE8, HD202 and Klipsch Custom 2).

But I have high hopes for the 668B coz headfonia did mention that
Although I've never heard the MS1i before, but reviews had been good. To be up against the MS1i and still recieve praises, I don't think it will be too much of a let down at RM150.

Price per performance is seriously high,provided that you have really good source and amp in your setup.

Well the problem is that HD668B is heavily depended on the source itself.I remember last time I plugged it into onboard yeah I can't stand listen to it for more then a minute or two.However with good source you'll be impressed on what this headphone can do to you.

Well you see even the beyer dt770 250ohm is fine with onboard soundcard,SR60 included as well.

The flaw is still there through,but not as bad as HD668B to me sweat.gif

No news about the Intrasco restocking back the superlux product any soon through.Hence the reason why the bulk was made at the first place.

Got my HD681 today.I found that the the HD681 has laid back sound signature compared to HD688B which is flat.Definitely has less detail but I can enjoy the songs more with HD681 now smile.gif

Are you using a headphone amp to drive?
HD681 is far from laid back, I found it very forward especially the vocals at at times can be a little 'harsh' on midrange especially on those low bit rate mp3s.
I do not use any headphone amp with it.
*
As usual I taken off the foam as well as peeling off the sticker inside.More details coming in now icon_rolleyes.gif

I'm using Maverick D1 dac/amp with it (changed the stock opamp with the LME49720HA and LM45652HA).I found that the HD668B is very forwarded in mids compared with HD681 (which the reason why I like the HD681 so much right now).You're right about the mids are somewhat "harsh" through,same goes to "HD668B" as well.

One thing for sure I found HD681 to be more comfortable using it compared to HD668B.I still remember the "death" clamp that HD668B has the first time I use it which prevents me of using it more then 1 hour of listening. sweat.gif

HD681 sounds nice on onboard souncard compared to HD668B.Although the bass is abit overwhelming at times but with a simple EQ change the problem goes away pretty easily thumbup.gif

it's easier to pick up the beyer pads since hp1000 is pretty hard to get it here,let alone getting the pads for it sweat.gif

Need to tweak something again on the 668 once more.seems like i apply too much blue tak lol

I applied as little as possible for the blue tac just now.The bass comes back (finally) but with wider bass extension (bass is somewhat deeper although it's pretty unnoticable most of the time)

Gonna continue playing with the blue tac perhaps later on smile.gif
