Brazilian Wax Saskatoon

Alessandro MS1000, finally. Waiting for the MS1000

Il kit arrivato da Jaben è stato montato in pochissimo tempo, grazie all'aiuto di un utente che prima di me aveva decided to take the plunge, in practice I had to just follow his instructions to the letter.
The end result was only a finger burnt by the soldering iron (unfortunately you can not avoid to open and dissect all of the headphones) but less than ten minutes you can in the operation.
Just installed the new roof but I can give advice, absolutely put between the driver and the ear (a material or a thick Felt / heavy cloth / other material) to absorb the midrange and high metal penetrating.
Without this addition the MS1000 with the kit jaben (at least one aluminum) is very difficult to listen to the long and weary ears.

Required of foam (I used the one included in the box MS1i) that cushions a moment the sound.



just cut with a knife and scissors


Alessandro MS1000 The complete


fantastic results.
Compared to MS1i I'm a bit 'medium-low with the Sansa Clip + (taken with the use dell'hippo box), volume (also taken with the "gain" dell'hippo), but there is profit in headstage, comfort and greater harmony of sounds.
say that according to my taste the first mod brings the benefit of convenience, then there's the sound that is definitely open and it is more satisfying. Less than a rock and more classical way. :)

Playing Online Gold Wrestling Chips

.. MS900 say for now: P

We had almost arrived in a flash (with Fedex and thanks Vanessa) kit for the much needed mod but ...
They have forgotten the pads of GS1000 O


My usual luck brings me now to have a beautiful ... MS900!
A little 'MS1i, since I use my old pad "smooth", a little' MS1000 by the standoff and the new red aluminum cover.
The result is not too bad but the weight of the headset makes unstable the whole, are absolutely necessary circumaural pads.


Fedex And I look again to turn this post into something more interesting:)


EDIT: there We did it!










First impressions very positive:)

HAS INFO NG98 DAC & Headphone amp






now in plenty of use for a month, I can draw conclusions about this little DAC & AMP. First, I admit it discovered purely by accident, the HA-info seems to be a completely unknown company and only on head-fi you can read a little bit of this all-in-one "modular.
starts immediately from the page Journal which sets out the specifications and above indicates that the chip can be selected during the purchase (I got the version with the Analog Device, not because better than that with the Cirrus but because they are more suited to the sound of my MS1i):


http://www.ha-info.com/english/ng98.htm


The fact that it allows the end user a modular very wide freedom of choice about the audio chip and the opamp amplifier circuit. Remove the small case is a snap, and the only problem will come when the amount of available opamp ebay (or other online stores) will test the ability of choice. I by the time I left everything as it was out of the box because I like the final result.
The claims of this DAC are certainly not high, but to replace a sound card integrated or of little value to be just fine. In the test with Alessandro MS1i has admirably demonstrated that it can also drive low impedance headphones like this, which is not always easy for low-end DAC-AMP. I honestly do not know how much longer any headphones will hold a hungry, but as this is not my goal I do not poses the problem.


The manufacturer, as well as various fora, we strongly recommend a running appliance, I admit that I have some reservations about it (my knowledge in electronics are not so advanced that I can explain this advice) but I gave the benefit of the doubt : The NG98 in my possession made his great run and came into operation on a permanent basis.


practically useless for my current IEM, is indispensable for alessandro, RE252, PL30, Philips SHE9800 showed no significant improvement when connected to this, possibly the only Head Direct RE0 can benefit a nice little push.
Il suono dell'NG98 non è nulla di spettacolare, la mia MS1i ha mantenuto il carattere proprio ma ha mostrato di avere bisogno di una sorgente che non sia quella portatile. In poche parole ha dato semplicemente una buona base a una cuffia che fa già il suo buon lavoro ma non riesce a esprimersi al meglio con i lettorini mp3.
Non ci si deve aspettare nulla che non sia freddo e digitale, pulito certamente ma mai caldo e corposo.


Nel complesso sono soddisfattissima, ben sapendo che i miei bisogni erano principalmente legati alla portabilità e al prezzo contenuto.




Construction :
for the price is quite good, the small houses is tastefully decorated and stylish too.


Sound :
here, for the price you can not really argue anything.




PRO:
- price
- dimensions


AGAINST:
- tends to warm when in operation for more than 30 minutes, the HA told me that info anyway is a normal behavior
- has a button on / off

Philips SHE 9850






In the pictures the Philips SHE9850 with the small clip +; coupled pretty good to me convinced. The ear-weave SHE9850 are balanced, a single driver that can play a very warm sound and goes beyond the limits that the average response in this technology.
These headphones have a small quaint properties, may play well with a lettorino how badly with another, I have no doubt the skills to be able to explain this so I'll just talk about my experiences.
Bocciatissima with Cowon players, definitely promoted with the Sansa Clip +: Do not ask me why)
The sound that comes from a SHE9850 connected to a cowon i9 is something really horrible and claustrophobic: the bass is heavy, slow, and advanced, the mids and highs seem timid not to reach. In short, a situation IEM from garbage.



With Clip + DAC (NG98) and a decent sound card (Audigy 2 ZS), the question changes and you start to think, the cap does not show major flaws and is sufficiently clean and accurate, especially in the region of mid-bass that are the core of the sound stage. I mean are not arretratissimi certainly leave much room for low-and medium-low, but the voices are clear and do not suffer.








This cap, in my opinion lacks a bit of dynamism, particularly in relation to Hippo VB (same price range, certainly higher than the Philips) and RE0, lacks substance and the speed I love so much dryness in the ear. Rather we will find a scene pesantuccia, reverb and palpable bass quite slow. For some kinds of these features are absolutely appropriate, a little 'less than they are for what I usually listen to: rock, metal, hard rock, prog.


The convenience of such an aspect is not secondaria importanza, per le mie povere orecchie è stato un trauma cercare il giusto fitting con gli inserti in dotazione e alla fine mi sono dovuta "accontentare" di tenere montati i comply foam. Tralasciando il fatto che questi vanno ad appesantire ulteriormente il suono già poco fresco di queste armature bilanciate, il problema enorme è che i comply sembrano costruiti con la pastafrolla. In nemmeno 10 giorni ne ho praticamente rovinato un paio, visto il costo non indifferente non vedo di buon occhio questo particolare.
Gli inserti in silicone infatti li ho trovati davvero troppo piccoli e mollicci, non vi è stato modo poi di montare gli ibridi sony in mio possesso e la mia serie di inserti in spugna nera (il Chinese famous vendor is not selling more now and I'm treating them like little children) because the channel is of little philips such as the Soundmagic PL50. Rejected then inserts the situation, you may buy a IEM and then having to spend money looking for the right ones.


The included carrying case is a little piece of art, aluminum inserts and draws on the body cap, very nice looking and practical I liked very much.


Finally a decent cap which should be the flagship of the range Philips certainly is I do not think is worth the price of 99 €. It is preferable to the dynamic sister SHE 9800 without a doubt, not least because here we are on enough for quality audio in a strict sense, but I do not feel to advise if it cost more than € 50.


PRO:
- well done constructively, they are also very beautiful and strong
- good bass, not very extensive but exciting


AGAINST:
- price, there are better alternatives on the market
- alti non sempre all'altezza delle aspettative, sicuramente il punto debole del range di frequenze riprodotte
- vanno pochissimo d'accordo con i lettori cowon, risultano in pratica non utilizzabili 
- le ho trovate comode solo con i comply foam in dotazione, purtroppo in soli dieci giorni di uso intenso un paio si è rovinato e sostituirli non costa poco.

Lower Abdominal Pain, Peeing Frequenlty

Alessandro MS1i





finally found the time to throw down two impressions of these headphones, so you want then what you like. The first time I heard about were still in the classic version, in order to mean what it now costs about $ 10 less than what I have chosen and which is called MS1i. The "i" obviously refers to the new generation of Grado headphones, which are known to sign the drivers contained in this Alexander.

Passing over the history of the company Alexander (as they are quite well known) my aim is to clarify what can and can not promise to keep these headphones. Everything is relative to their price, now increased slightly due to weak euro, real strong point of the MS series.
Parties recall that beats in the heart of a nasty plastic shell can, whatever the driver corresponding to this MS1i (SR80i or SR125i? From my research the only entry-level technology is UHPLC SR125i, but there is no security which is the equivalent of MS1i) matter to me the result. And the result there.

These headphones are recommended for portable use or anywhere near, their lowest impedance, 32 ohms, they might think they are exploited with a portable player without worries. Nothing could be more wrong in my humble opinion, unfortunately.
not have been able to deliver even 70% of their potential with none of the players I've been able to test: cowon i7, i9 cowon, sansa clip +, iphone 3g.
was enough to make them shine a DAC / amp end and very low cost, which I will certainly in the future.
said that a small digression on the construction quality is a must, but somewhere you had to cut back on costs and I suppose the worst job in terms of sheer quality "physical" and the materials could not be done.
be clear that I support the decision to focus on sound and not on construction, as the Grado and Alessandro lend themselves to an infinite variety of mod that turns completely and make them very appealing. Personally I
chosen to make a mod with a red aluminum kit for sale from Jaben, who will transform them into MS1000. MS1000 The project was born several years ago on head-fi (known forum that I recommend to all those who mastichino a bit 'English ed) and I believe mostly because it takes to make a mod that improves the weaknesses of the headset: l' headstage and the body of the bass.
Since I'm on the subject ...

How do they sound?

For around 100 € have very little competition, no cap on one hundred euro that I could try approaching only minimally to the sound of MS1i. Just arrived showed sound dull and too focused on the low frequencies, the problem was solved simply by making a "quarter mod" on comfies provided. Just the headset comes home with the pads of this type:










and I made a mod that would allow the same pad to assume a shape similar to these bowls pad:




Questi ultimi si trovano comunque in vendita in diversi negozi online o direttamente su ebay, il prezzo varia dai 15 ai 20 euro circa. La mia scelta di operare la mod è servita perché avevo bisogno della base ove cucire del velluto, per rendere tutto più confortevole possibile.
Perché puncture the comfies bolws or buy? Simply because the sound of the headset changes radically, the whole scene opens the first invading and low hours leave room for some nice midrange and excellent high and dry clear.
the headset I left a hundred hours of running, and definitely need to be carried out at a moderate volume and in loops no longer than 10 hours each.

The Alexander MS1i really been created with the rock in mind: they are fast, detailed enough and very good fresh emphasis due to the high, the mids could be more delicate and purposes, but returning discourse price does not feel like criticizing any aspect. The headstage is restricted, some IEM (in ear monitor ed) that I used in the past almost can compete and it sounds really strange because here we have 4 inch driver and not a few millimeters.
The image of the sound is vertical rather than horizontal, the average face up a large part of the scene and the feeling of being in front of the main voice and guitar, I am a lover of this kind of sound and stage presentation, so I can accept that this particular aspect.
who try to find a headset for symphonic music, classical music or for use with the dvd of the opera could not be at all well with these headphones.
Yes therefore metal, rock, prog, pop and definitely not for classical music and congeners (to the MS1000 see this note).

Never Dated Hearing Impaired

Update August 2, 2010 July 2, 2010 Update

Beware of tempting proposals!
I finally published the discussion on the comparison between the rules on misleading and my DDL, and there are also comments on Regulations on radio and television advertising and teleshopping .

It 's a post a bit' long, but do not miss it because I find some good can come confusion about where to exercise the imagination of some legislators.
