Anyone reterminate Grado 225s?
I don't have the equipment to do it myself, but I'd like to switch out the 1/4" plug for a 1/8" plug. Right now I have an adapter that makes the whole plug 3-4" long, which is very awkward with a portable. I'm wondering if anyone here would be interested in doing that for me and how much it...- jeremy6044

First impressions of first amp experience
i've been thinking that, as well. i wonder if it would make a difference to keep the amp and change out the nano for a classic or something. i'm also wondering if it's just that these headphones don't benefit so much from an amp.- jeremy6044

First impressions of first amp experience
After years of not being satisfied with my audio quality and painstaking research (including lurking on this site and asking a million questions), I finally had an amp and LOD made and listened last night to my first amp set-up. Equipment: 2g nano, Ruzz.il silver braided LOD, MisterX...- jeremy6044

Anyone listen to Cuban jazz vocals?
i really like xiomara laugart. that's exactly what i'm looking for! thanks! what i like about her and the song i originally posted about is that they're melodic and feminine sounding. for some reason, i don't find celia cruz or Omara Portuondo very feminine sounding, or their music very...- jeremy6044

Anyone listen to Cuban jazz vocals?
I recently heard the song "Drume Negrita" on Luis Conte's Cuban Dreams album and loved it. It's a beautiful female jazz vocalist rendition of an old lullaby, I think. The problem is, the rest of the album is not her singing jazz vocal music, it's percussion and higher energy music. So I don't...- jeremy6044

which nina simone album?
I'd also like to know about fidelity, which would seem to be an issue with older recordings. Also, are there any live performances worth recommending?- jeremy6044

How can I listen to my amp to detect it?
that's not true. i've never liked the sound of my 2g nano headphone out, and it's not because i heard something better. it just sounds bad.- jeremy6044

Another Nano vs. Touch thread
not really on topic because the OP doesn't use headphone out, but i found the classic to have more soundstage without an amp, and the touch to be more precise. I'd prefer to get the touch too if I could afford the 32gb version, but I'd miss the soundstage whenever I'm not using an amp. not...- jeremy6044

Music That Makes You 'Shiver'
I wish this thread all had links to those songs, or clips of them, so that I could find out if I liked any of them. Typing in names in itunes for clips would get tiring. Are there any other threads that do that? I desperately need new music.- jeremy6044

I prefer the headphone out of my MacBook to the line out of my iPod...
That's too bad. Why couldn't they just make a portable that uses the power from the charger when it's plugged in? Seems like a no brainer to me if this whole exercise is to improve sound quality, portable or not.- jeremy6044
