empire23 :

yo man, where u get naotaro moriyama's album from?

wow guess it's rather good. Sounds better than HP895 too.. very tempting PX200

My Neighbour auntie Sasamori loved to play it on her piano, so i borrowed the CD and ripped it. All i have is a digital copy of that 1 song



Yeah i was quite suprised at it's quality. After i saw the "Powerful Bass" blurb on the box i was thinking, OH SHI. Feng Tau bass, but it really suprised me. It doesn't do too well with Pop due to it's lack of punch and without an amp it's high end is muddy and weak, other than that, i think it's a keeper.

auntie sasamori...japanese?
i hav a japanese neighbour too, but never heard she (aunty as well) listen song

Yeah, Jap. But mine loves to play the songs on her piano, although she ain't no Machiko Uchida, she's pretty good and her daughter is very handy with the violin and i occasionally go over for "audiotions"

wow, got opportunity sure will ask them for a pre-record their skill....

her daughter wana teach violin or not?
still searchin for a violin teacher, and the most important, searchin for time to learn and practise

chernloon,

Daughter only 9 leh, the kind i babysit and take to Mcdonalds to pay see saw when mom is out but she still is an extremely good player for her age.

ohhh.....

rock listener..hmm..aint ur sr60 better with it?
k501 is my budget phone..usd115 shipped from canada for a 6 hours+ used 1.
and when i got it, OMG, shipment is CAD43, which mean the phone cost around usd70 only.

for pop/vocal, k501 more forward while 650 vocal is surpressed.

Slowly climb your grado ladder ... Next stop Sr225 or go grab the MS2i in garage sales

sooner or later he will reach rs-1

Once he's unsettled with his Sr60, I know the day may come very soon

haha...i know i will go for RS-1 in near future~~ This forum is poisoning me so horribly.

In fact, i am a person still like wider soundstage listening more than forward music.

I think AKG got the bright sound signature(yet stronger like Grado) mix wif wider soundstage of Sennheiser. This is after a couple of reviews i read at head-fi & taiwan forum.
Dunno such theory can apply into ur guys observation?!

u wan grado + wide soundstage....prepare to splash usd1k for GS-1000
as its claimed to hav the widest soundstage ATM

forget about the RS-1 if u want wider soundstage...even the senn hd595 can beat the RS-1 in this criteria...IMHO...

Cheers

Or you may try Beyerdynamic, the new version DT990 seems to be a warmer and laid back of DT880 with wider soundstage and more quality lower range ~~~

Another suggestion is grab the HD600 in garage sales, later pairing it with silver cable to tighten the so-called veil sound, and the final step get yourself a warm solid state amp like M^3 ... there goes your good combo

Chernloon.
u funny dude... GS1000... dun like dat man..

jigon,
Dat's why i will leave RS1 alone for this very reason.

God,
BD DT990 over RM2000 oredi..gosh..Perhaps we got davis to bring it in wif cheaper price.
Yea i did came across the 2nd hand HD600 in the garage sales. I hope Davis will bring it HD600 instead.

Yesterday i oso came across such discussion bout HD600 recabling wif Zu cable(No idea bout Zu is..) After dat the HD600 sound would be closer to HD650.


Anyway, wondering how many years for another sennheiser high-end headphone will be announce? eg. HD700?! ..haha..

p/s: Just now i am listening to audiophile song from Eva Cassidy's 'What a wonderful world'. I think der is an echo sound from the singing which i cannot hear in my SR60.

Perhaps wider soundstage will be allow to hear a *longer* echo sound?!
Or i should use "surround" sound.

Leave the Zu cable out of the equation until you've heard the sound of the HD600 and HD650 for yourself.. you might be surprised some people like the HD600 more
