i think u need to give your ears a few days rest (literally not listening to any headphone/iem/earphone for a 2 days +)..
*
This.. i think it is very true.. everything also needs a break what..
i did this from time to time, sometimes after the 'break' i can somehow feel quite refreshing listening to the headphone again and might notice some extra details i haven't noticed before.. but not every time la.. tongue.gif

First of all, what item you found was cheap?  unsure.gif

e.g. ATH A2000x 42800yen where usually it's around 70000yen aite..

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Jul 23 2011, 11:59 PM)

we are talking about the tax we'll have to pay the custom if our items are detained by them.. more like denda duit i guess.. tongue.gif
and of course, different categories of items have different rate of tax aite..

and rm1k above, will be on special assessment (assuming custom detain it)

special assessment = heavy ass tax unless you "undertable". (own discretion advised)

hi folks, i went to Jaben Pg yesterday and tried out a few ATH phones..

i gave AD1000PRM another chance and pair it with bro incubus' tube amp, totally changed my impression about the phone.. shocking.gif
it has become so sweet after pairing with the amp..
and i feel terribly sorry for giving it a bad feedback before.. notworthy.gif
all the hissing(the 's' sound) in the songs disappeared and become so sweet, whereas the hissing sound is piercing my ears when i listen that particular song with AD900 and A2000x..

and btw, what kinda amp is suitable to pair with A2000x?
the sound becomes quite weird after pairing with little dot amp.. sweat.gif

Haha best amp for Audio Tachnica headphone is Yamamoto amp. Haha. I bet Bro Akabane will said so too. Haha it make everything fly.

QUOTE(Akabane@DrJackel @ Jul 30 2011, 09:36 PM)
I guess just for start only. If you try with yamamoto sure lagi kena hehe...but if you mention ad1000prm is good then W11JPN will defenitely make you goose bump hehe you may cry went listen a very emotional music like celine dion-all by myself. This is proven that ad1000prm is very coloring headphone. We had a change to meet. I guess I will see in penang hehe. I'm planning my schedule to visit jaben penang as well as meet all member in penang. So penang members gather all folks. We from KL team coming to Penang town. smile.gif

i personally perfer the govibe peak to drive the ad2000, as i like my music being a aggressive instead of laid back.

that said, i think the ad2000 deserve more (something in the 1k-1.5k range amp at least), so feel free to explore further on amp pairings smile.gif


Added on July 30, 2011, 11:26 pm

if my ad900 come back, and everything ok, and work schedule also ok, i may join in just to makan or try something else if available biggrin.gif
*
havent tried the AD2000.. tongue.gif
was asking about A2000x.. it's quite a laid-back phone so tube amp definitely not suitable..
still trying to figure out which headphone suits me the most, after appropriate amping..

come la bro, the more people the merrier.. and maybe i can try ur AD900 then.. smile.gif

not sure about the a2000x, however the a2000 is very quite similiar to the ad2000 just that it isnt dark/mid low focused, and of course, it isnt fully open, and it doesnt have that airy sound stage. if you want me to use REALLY BLUNT words, i would say its like a woodie, using plastics/magnesium/aluminium cover instead of wood. lol.


Added on July 31, 2011, 10:39 pm

eh shit you have a pro700 mk2? i want (and my friend) wanna audition that weih

jaben only got mk1 or just pro 700
*
i wana try AD900 with the lambskin earpad la actually.. tongue.gif

icic, haven't tried out woodies so can't really imagine their sound signature.. wait for bro akabane to come penang then.. keke

owh, interested with pro700 mk2 eh..
then i would better keep all the comments to myself before u guys audition it..
so, there's one more reason for u to come to penang la.. rolleyes.gif

glad ur so interested, just have to wait for them to return from jaben/AT. and hopefully they dont replace the drivers that are burned in. i did use it for really extended hours, 10+ hours on a go (listening to it personally by yours truly lol, not burning in lol)

would be a waste if they got me some new stiffened drivers  doh.gif

as for the pro700 mk2, i've tried its little bro the pro700, so i kinda got the idea. i just want to feel how "seismic" the bass is as mentioned by headfonia LOL!
ps: yes, i know its totally not for clarity whores whistling.gif
and yeah, whats needed to be said, has been said by mike from headfonia
*
in case they change the drivers, u can use my AD900 and change the earpad temporary..
im pretty sure my headphone is burned-in.. biggrin.gif

i see, actually i jz got the headphone not long ago and need more time to burn-in..
i notice the bass has become tighter after around 50hours of burning in..
when i first got it, the bass is so loose and the low is kinda disastrous.. sweat.gif (maybe im too used to AD900)
