Elephas Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 First post here, it feels good to be a newbie again. There are many familar names here, I wonder why? Can I start some "What headphones should I buy?" threads? I should go do some scouting and perusing. You can never be too safe, you know, especially if there are fierce lions about.

Hah, and now we can tell you what we honestly think about that Raptor of yours. We've been trying to give you hints on the other side, but apparently it didn't quite work.

Nanoha Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 It's especially excruciating since we know you have awesome cans. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFKMan23 Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 yeah. and that friggin nice Accuphase. i came real close to getting a DP-500 from PriceJapan, instead of my Audio Aero. how are you liking it Elephas? Aero vs. Opus Comparisons STAT!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humanflyz Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Yeah, the Raptor sucks. I can see why you don't use your K1000s: the Raptor can't drive them at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, the Raptor can't drive anything well (Grados, Audio-Technicas). Other than perhaps Senns... barely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

granodemostasa Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 It's abuse of just about every can you own dude... go buy a real headphone amp. At least for the HD650, they deserve better. You can keep the raptor for the W5000, it's not like the w5000 scales or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can keep the raptor for the W5000, it's not like the w5000 scales or anything. Why would keep an amp with an output impedance that is SO horribly mismatched with the impedance of the W5000s?

granodemostasa Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Why would keep an amp with an output impedance that is SO horribly mismatched with the impedance of the W5000s? because serious distortion is just what the w5000 needs.

humanflyz Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 because serious distortion is just what the w5000 needs. Oh come on, they aren't that bad. My dislike of them isn't from a technical point of view, because they are pretty good technically. So it's perfectly possible that Elephas likes them.

postjack Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 i like the W5000! also remember elephas has an AT-HA5000, which I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granodemostasa Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 there are many things that could be done to improve the w5000's sound: silver cables, open enclosure, driver replacement, the trash can, and the FS forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepak Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Welcome. This is a good forum for info, but like any forum it has its biases. Mostly it's a chill place to hang out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanoha Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Elephas has a R10. And L3k. Those were the can I was referring to in my earlier post. Even if the R10 isn't widely liked, I think at least we can agree that they deserve better than the Raptor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
909 Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 i love the wood on the w5000s. couldn't get a seal with them, disappointing. i didn't like the raptor much, thought the mpx3 with nos tubes and ec2a3 where both superior.
