  1. Creo que te falta establecer bien el uso que tendrás para las bocinas. Son para tu comuptadora, librero, quieres potabilidad, etc?, con eso te podemos ayudar mejor. (First of all you should stablish your speaker needs, are you using them for your pc, bokshelf or portability?, that way we can help you out better). Y si las bocinas Micca PB42X son buenas, tengo el modelo pasivo y suenan genial para el precio. Las PB tienen entrada analoga y traen su propio amplificador, solo necesitas una buena señal de audio. (And yes the Micca PB42X. are great, i have the MB42x (passive) and they are great for the price, the PB model have analog line in and are powered so you only need a good sound source). La bose soundlink 3 la tengo es buena para portabiliad pero el bajo no es nada del otro mundo, aun pegado a la pared, las JBL charge3 o flip son muy buenas y tienen mas bajo. (Boses are good for portable use, thou the bass is not that good even when close to the wall, JBL charge and flip are also good and got better bass)
  2. So the Grace M9xx is again on massdrop and i was wondering, how does it compare to the Schiit stack (magni uber2/ modi2) vs Grace M9xx in terms of audio and if the extra features the m9xx (crossfeed) worth enough?
  3. Which has the better soundstage followed by bass, mid and finally high?
  4. What a great product! For me as a teacher and a consultant having a portable projector would really enhance my productivity, been able to have my power points ready wherever i am is a huge tool. Hope i can get one !!
  5. Hey guys! So i´ve been desiring to buy a tube amp for a while now and as for today here are my options: Little Dot MK2 MKII 6J1 X2 6N6 X2 Little Dot MKII DARK VOICE 336SE Schiit Valhalla 2 My priority is 1)sound, 2)build quality 3)price 4)Looks 5)heat output. I have HD600, Beyerdynamic DT990 250 ohm version, AKG 702, Oppo Pm3, HD8 DJ, HD598 SE, and HIFIMAN Edition S to use with them. I´ve been using the scchiit modi/magni stack so far, they are great but i really want to try the so called warmness of tube amps. Thank you for your time PS: Excuse my poor english
  6. Hey guys, looking for some reviews of the HIFIMAN Edition S, they look pretty good and i´m interested too see ifs hybrid mode pays off
  7. I had no problem separating the pads from the headphones, but once separated, how to extract the plastic grid to use it on the new pads is what i am trying to figure out. Thank you for you rcomment, i appreciated
  8. Hey guys I love my fidelios x2 but that cheap velour philips uses on its earpads is giving me a hard time on my skin (itchy), so i been browsing around and i can afford these guyys http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MFDT894?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00, supposedly fit these pads with no problems and made of leather. Problem is, i dont know how to separate de mount of the original earpads so i can place them on my new earpads. So before having to cut anything you guys know any tips or guides how to do it?

    Headphone advice

    fidelio x2 are excellent all around headphones with awsome sound stage. I have the x2 as well as the HD8 DJ, i love my fidelio x2 for chilling out in my house since they are open back, long music/gaming sessions are easily endured with their comfort build, BUT...when you really, really, reeeally want to actively listen to music in a very intense way the HD8 DJ are awsome, they really are bass monster with extreme control of it so you dont miss the other sound ranges, wich are also very intese, and they are closed back so you can listen to them anywhere with their sound isolation. So pretty much if you are planning to be chilling at your quite house and want a versatile headphone, get fidelio x2, you want intensity and isolation go for HD8 they are really fun!
  10. I have the x2, HD558 and hd600 ( also he 400 but the old model so i cant speak objectively on that regard). Both hd600 and x2 sound incredible, hd600 a bit more crisp on the highs, but for gaming the x2 have an Amazing soundstage that hd600 regretably dont have at all, so gaming on x2 is way better for inmersión. Bass on both is excellent but not for bassheads. X2 are so easy to drive that you can use them with your Phone and get Good volumen without the need of an amp. At the comfort departament, both are great the only issue i got with x2 is the cheap velour they use, they are hotter and itchy to my skin. Hd600 cat belly soft and Cooler velour is great for long session. I also have the modi uber because you get múltiple inputs so you can toggle between your pc and in my case ps4. The plan one has only usb. Finally i got the plain magni 2 since i dont need preamp and it can drive the HD 600 pretty Good. Hope This information helps and excuse my butchery of the english language.
  11. "A6>Primes due to sex appeal just straight out beating it and not that far behind in soundstage" Hahahahaha that cracked me up
  12. Hahahaha, THANK YOU! Well there is no way for me to explain the nuts and bolts having Innerfidelity doing that with profesional measurament equipment. Also the objective of any forum is to share the personal experiences that are "free" of influences of companies and thus having an honest opinion.
  13. Hey!, now that´s a good piece of advice, i´ll look up the audeze Earpds thanks!
  14. Sorry i thought you meant trying Alpha dog´s earpads on HE400 not the actual cans hahaha, so the answer is no i haven´t tried those bad boys and since the last pair of cans i´m buying for a while are the fidelio x2 (which were available to me at amazon.mx at a cheaper price than amazonUS), probably won´t for quite a while.
