teach me
i oso wanna learn
i m so noob
mayb i dun have golden ears

yeah

i strongly strongly agree

see davis thread then we knw
haha

cute guyz

First of the first. Do you know why you are listening music?
If you don't know your objective, there are no points for you to get to know further.
Unless you want to be hardware geek which enslaving by caps, opamps, solder wick, PCB, what what funny name design and so on; ending up become Audiomaniac not audiophile (music listener).

keh keh.
tak puas meh? get headphone amp plak lah.
kasi tengok apa rasa

long life ... sifu Davis ...

ei name, why u had hd555 in ur siggie n avatar? next upgrade?

ya ya. and by the time you realize it, you might have just spent a few Ks on electronics rather than on your audio setup and you'll say "wahlau, i'm so stupid. this workbench costed me 1 HD650, 1 K701, a few HP1000 and if i don't start, i might just be able to pimp meself an Audio Technica woody by now".

but hey, you won't get worshipped like an audio god, but surely you'll get respected as an electronic god geek. and you're able to say to everyone, 'i don't believe in audio craps because i know physics'.

some listen to cables, power cables, RCA jacks, stereo minijacks, and use subjective audioterms to describe and can't support it off with science. some on the other hand, listen to Opamps, resistor sound, capacitor sound, solder sound, PCB sound, and different design sound signatures and could support it with engineering, science and test results.

yet most won't believe the latter. mainly because not everyone could speak in engineering language. and upgrading the RCA jack/interconnects is easier than upgrading the output stage to your amps or upgrading the power section to a particular design.

ahaks
maybe
but sifu says..
hold first..
have an amp first

^ and i might just get flamed for that.
but in reality, both are the same. some tweak their sound by changing cables, while some change the internals. some swear by putting coins on top of their speakers and try to make it 'smoother' by doing that, while some change the Opamps to get a smoother signature.

some upgrade to silver cables to get better 'transparency' and 'detail', while some upgrade the decoupling capacitors to get to the same effect.

and IMHO, Opamps costs less than Bullet Plugs and Polypropylene capacitors costs less than silver cables/audiograde cables.

I know for all this.
thedoctor, do you want to talk with a truly well respected audiophile from Singapore? George is the person you can talk to, I think you might change your mind later when you move to different level.

PM me if you interested, I think he might coming down to KL AV show on 21st July till 23rd July.

Good points from both Davis and thedoctor hehe That's the classic answers from both subjectivist and objectivist camps

I am somewhat in the middle of the two camps, but I would lean more towards the electronics though. hehehe To me, whatever is cheaper that reaches the same goal, will be worshiped by me. It's just too bad that I suck in soldering and I don't have all those gadgets thedoctor has on his workbench. So I end up buying from him

Oooook....My level of respect for thedoctor just shot out the roof!

Haha I however, do not mod anything. Just buy whatever's available and...Well enjoy it as it is! Modding is too dangerous for my shaky hands. Never could solder well

But...That's why we have ppl like him and eokboy to help us produce stuff we can't!

Gotta love em for it

Yeah.. me too. But I think we had swayed a lot from the main title hehe.. better talk something about Philips headphone.

Yeap. Stick to the topic.

How about HP400? Seems like out of the league?

HP400 in my opinion is quite choosey.
and i guess most ppl here already poisoned by HP890/HP895 those open air phone. easier to drive, and sound more airy. easier to accept. =)
HP400 some how better in some part, than my hp890. but i just don't quite appriciate it after i had HP890.
=P not fair though comparing RM 180 with RM 80.

Thank you.
How about HP400 vs. HP805?

ok HP400 definately win hands down on some classic song, instrument/kennyG
but for overall Hp805 is slightly better,as it got better BASS. so might be easier for lowyat.net ppl to accept.
Hp400 with movie some time can pecah.
and comfortable issue is another problems.
listening HP400 with kenny G is really enjoyable. even beat Hp890 on the midrange , vocal.

Anyway i have two philips headphones is SHP895 & SHP805, soon will get the eph amp from mike.

don compare with price, sometimes even a cheapo one also might better than expensive lo..
