denon d-1000 vs grado sr-60 unamped
And another thing.... Do not accidentally get the Sony MDR - V600 instead of the MDR - V6. I have 20 or so V600s at my job. They are durable and comfy, but sound quality is lackluster.- Dondoh

denon d-1000 vs grado sr-60 unamped
Like bleak I own both a lower end Grado (the 80s in my case) and the D1000s. I agree with all of bleak's points comparing them. Denons have a shorter cable, but they also include an extension that would cover a whole dorm room if he needs it. Deeper, stronger bass in the Denons. Faster...- Dondoh

Horrific Ear Wax Story
I have cleaned my ears many times with hydrogen peroxide. It foams, and after repeated cleansings over a week's time will remove frightening things from your ears. I am not a doctor, and my hearing is going away, so take what I say for what it is, anecdotal advice.- Dondoh

Horrific Ear Wax Story
Save the wax. If you can get one out of the other ear, you could use them for custom IEM molds....- Dondoh

The Spring 2008 HD580 Free Giveaway*** WINNER = LuckyKarma
Reginald had been perplexed lately. His wife Phoebe had seemed distracted to the point of disinterest. He longed for the days where her every thought was bent toward him. At dinner he decided that it was time to broach the topic of her newfound distance from him. "Anything on your mind Phebes...- Dondoh

How To Quarter Mod? (Senn 414pads + Grado SR225)
I just received some senn pads for my grados this weekend. I didn't find the bowls totally uncomfy, but the senn pads feel a LOT better to me. I have not quarter modded them yet, and I am not sure I will.- Dondoh

Upgrade from Denon d1000 to d2000?
If I upgrade from D1000 to D2000, what improvements should I expect? I like the 1000s. My only criticisms are that the mids are a little recessed on occasion and the bass is big but can be a tad sloppy. Will these conditions improve in the 2000s? Must I have an amp for the 2000s? Thanks as...- Dondoh

SR225 vs SR80 Correct me if I am wrong...
And another thing... Are the 225s the bassiest grados? Seems like they are by the reviews at headphonereviews... But there aren't enough reviews to give a statistically significant impression...- Dondoh

SR225 vs SR80 Correct me if I am wrong...
I have recently been sucked into the wallet-depletion vortex we laughingly call head-fi. I decided to buy a range of mid-level phones to see which I liked. I bought Goldring DR150s, Senn 595s, Grado SR80s and Denon AD1000s (also marshmallows and ksc70s but that is a different matter....) The...- Dondoh

Showerhead-fi
I am moving to a new house. The water pressure is fine, but not terrific. I also will be on a septic tank system, so I have good reason to restrict water. I love a good shower. Any suggestions for a good low-flow shower head experience? Up until now it has been a case of simply removing...- Dondoh

Got my Etymotic Er6i but I still hear noise...
Shifter, there have been lots of posts by folks who are eminently more qualified to give an opinion already but here goes.... One of your posts suggest Grados. They are great phones but have no isolation whatsoever. Others have suggested IEMs, but you said you want phones that are comfortable...- Dondoh

Headphones for classical and oldies as a gift (female), ~$120 budget
Does she like hi-fi sound? Most civilians (non-headfi types) that I know couldn't care less about the improvements in sound you get by moving up the headphone ladder. For instance, my wife would be as happy with her sennheiser pmx60s as with sennheiser hd-650s. In fact she would like the...- Dondoh
