Re: MD: headphones: down to 2

1999-10-12 Thread Max


Hey Guys,
I checked out a lot of headphones, and eventually went for the Beyer Dynamic
DT831. Perhaps the best sound I've ever heard. An ear massage that kept making
you want to turn it up louder and never take them off. Two probs though (1)
they're massive! and (2) my Sony MZ-R55 couldn't drive them (I didn't want the
additional hassle of headphone amplifiers). I continued searching and eventually
after many many more soundchecks, went for the Sony MDR D77, at around 120 quid
Sterling. I think they are called the MDR D55 in the U.S. - probably the same
cost but in $.

I joined this thread late so please ignore this if it's been covered before.

Cheers,
Max.

 Regarding my last post thread on best headphones.I order the Koss
 Portapros for my small headphones, but now I am down to 2 choices for the
 full size, either the Grado SR60 or the Sennheiser 490's.  What so you guys
 think?  I have heard through many sites that the Grado's are the best [for
 portable players] but that they are uncomfortable.  I can't find any local
 dealer where I live that carry the Grados for me to try them out.  I have
 however been able to find and try out the Sennheisers and I must say I found
 them very light and comfortable.  I thought the sound was very good as well.
   Anybody own the Grados that can comment on the sound and comfort of these
 headphones??  I can get the Grados for $69 and the Sennheisers for @$80.
 SOwhich one should I get?  I would like a headphone that has very good
 bass response as not to get that "treblely" headphone sound, but I don't
 want a pair of phones that are uncomfortable to wear..

 -Thanks for any help

Re: MD: Can consumer CD audio players read CD-R and CD-RW discs

1999-08-14 Thread Mad Max


imho i think it depends on the laser that the cd player has. some of the
older cd players had a more powerful lazer which enables them to read cd-r.
the newer ones, i think to save power have a weaker laser.
hope this helps
