if its the 24th then i might not be able to attend.

most probably at the Tokyo Headphone Festival now on.

send it to me and i'll help you take care of the cans plus give you review of the sound quality.

bro, can tell that you want to go back there definitely not for the AT shop!

i don't think you/we should be blatantly promoting piracy here.

TTD is less than RM800

what vintage headphones? the x19hd has not been released into the wild yet. maybe next weekend.

actually i'm looking forward to hearing your setup this weekend. cause i heard the peak before and i do not like its dry signature.

everyone has their own sonic preference and we all have different assumptions on what exactly is neutral. so what is properly reproduced bass to me is just insufficient to you. what i call bassy might be neutral to you.

some would argue that amps / DACs that add coloration are poorly designed. amps should be nothing more than "wire with gain" and even more so DACs, which would be just a plain "wire with no gain".

me personally i like musicality and lushness so amps with colors are fine, as long as its not too badly colored or too much.

well... that are some that strive for absolute neutrality and transparency. absolute neutrality and transparency will allow you to listen to the recording exactly as how the recording artist intended it to be.

actually, hi-fi = high fidelity = high accuracy. so to some, adding coloration is not the purpose of hi-fi. if you want to be picky, adding color on purpose = lo-fi.

Quazacolt: what's insufficient bass for you might not be insufficient for others! lol

what i meant was the AD700 does has bass. the way you ask is like saying AD700 has no bass / is without any bass.

why not? i have headphones that i stopped only after 1500hrs. as long as you're burning at a reasonable volume and not abusing the drivers, its will be okay.
