ya ya. i'm sure it takes quite a long while to get one's ears used to the audiophile sound (or the audiophile world for that matter).
so for the rest of us that haven't gotten the golden ears yet, or not yet got the audiophile ceritificate, we could only base our opinions on something like this :

^ that shows the noise floor of batteries when driving a load.

or this particular graph, shown in tnt-audio :

that shows the noise floor of batteries (unloaded) VS batteries (loaded) VS regulators.
which clearly shows that batteries have higher noise floor/transient response/frequency response (when loaded) than the all time ever sucky regulators + AC power implementation. but then again, whoever listens to test results, right? people listens to audio signal, rather than test equipment.

but still, saying that batteries are the cleanest source of power or that it has the cleanest sound (which i'm sure meaning low noise floor/pink noise/freq response/transient response) is kindda a hoax. or a statement that has no scientific support or yet-to-be-tested-and-supported.

but then again, i'm sure it's just me, who's not an audiophile. and that i'm wrong to trust test results and test equipment rather than subjective audiophile rave comments.

If everybody talking about the facts, I guess Suzuki GSX-1000 (not the great bike) and the Smart car won't really attracting public.

After all this great discovery of new religions, everything come to basic human feeling... satisfaction & pride.

You can curse to the power cord from french selling like hundreds thousands but you still can't stop people buying it. Why? No body point a gun to their head to buy it. Why?

Unless somebody owned a Wadia CD player and claims that he build better CD player than the over price crown.

I am ready to buy some "junk" of HP890 ...

Are u sure renovatio? i feel the opposite...too many moving parts..creaking sound is audible on hp1000 when moving my head...

Cheers 

ohhh..i c..but if we talk about 'fragileness' here, the expensive one will be the most fragile here..haha.. sayanggg wooo...
the creaking sound not that obvius maa..but compare to hd595...

Cheers 

Certain headcan's structure could really give us a weirdo look.

dat's why i got a long.... long moment to buy Grado by looking into its design. After listening to it, every doubts were clear in a second!

If u tell people that not familiar wif audiophile stuff, most of their first response will be a shock at the Grado's price more than its sound.

Somemore over RM2000 for a wooden cup of headphone. How many peoples will actually care bout John Grado had tested over 60 types of Wood to finalize the one in RS1. haha..

Someone would laugh at u spending over Rm2000 to buy two rounded wooden and put on ur head.

Sometimes, i feel the grado RS1 headcan looks like "Yoyo".. Jst kidding guys.
I wish i got this YOYO in near future~..

oi, this is philips fans club lah. grado invader is comming...
shu.. shu....

Yo! I own a 895! It's sound is really chun! Anyway, I still prefer the design of 890.

It's just too expensive...  I am quite satisfied with my SB Live 5.1 

I better save it for my further study.    Actually, I don't have to spend much on headphone devices as my ears are not that sensitive to know that the sound has improved.  Lucky that my ears are so nice, if not, I am going to spend a lot. 

u...u....
bloody bad
dun let ur parent see this...
pengsan

hey guys,

wanna ask, is the hp895 good for techno?
my bro likes techno and dance music, been playing o2jam very frequently lately, and he is using my SR80!! it hurts 
and recently he loves to use headphones rather than his altec lansing. so thought get him a headphone.

used the hp805 before and of course i wouldnt wanna buy back the same one for him, and furthermore i kinda like the hp895 

bass aint enough to enjoy techno eh? hmmm 

hahaha i meant the hp895 aint as comfortable as the hp805 that i had before, typo 

yeah man, it really hurts not only the wallet, but the bank account! 

sadly i stay very far away from you, in Subang, hahaha, so guess i wont be trying out your portapro. but for RM155, i wouldnt get the portapro, i don like how it looks 

hahaha, you read my mind, i want the stand!!  . me too ordered a class AB from eokboy, and it will look EXACTLY like yours, hahaha. 

they still sell the hp890? i thought they only sell the hp895? will ask them though.

if want to use SHP895 with ipod, for sure you need headamp.. but, if you always travel around with you ipod, you wont bring the 895 with you 

but the hp1k really look so weird if u wear on street
895 still ok

last month i saw a shop selling shp890 for rm169...sadly, the shop is in ALOR SETAR

cool... maybe I will go and have a look at the shop when I go back to Alor Star this weekend.

my colleagues or rather bosses keep saying i have an elephant ear.
not because of the size of my ears.
but the size of my hp1k
hohoho

brought them back into my office. even dust are collecting on my keypad eventhough i bring them back everyday.

i wonder how thick is the dust inside the hp1k diafragma
