Alright, cables are really starting to get on my nerves. On my way to school today I was using my friends Yuin PK2s (Since my KSC 75s were broke, guess how?) and the sound started going out on the right side. I determined that there was a break in the cable near the plug. I've had the same...

Probably better known as DJing, anyone else here like to do it? I'm stuck with using my computer (traktor yay!) but lately I've finally been getting the hang of it, not using autosync and what-not. Maybe one day I will stop being cheap and get a controller or a cheap dual CD setup... Not...

Not much talk around here about gabber. Anyone else listen to it? Any recommendations? Until 3 days ago I was always not to fond of the old school gabber, but then I was listening to some and decided it was pretty good. I've liked new school gabber for a while, but it's kind of hard to find...

Bit of a strange one. I have a set of headphones that use two different ground lines, however that cable broke and I swapped part of it to a cable that uses just one ground line. Will there be any major difference in sound, like a crossfade? I'm 98% sure there shouldn't be but I wanted to...

I was just minding my business and this guy comes down from the ceiling and scares the bejebus out of me. I took a few pictures before promptly whacking the snot out of it with a fly swatter. ImageShack - A few weeks ago a spider snuck up on me while I was on the throne, not fun.

Now a majority of the people on this site have more than one set of headphones (If you don't, you'd better be out buying some. ). The question is, how do you decide which ones to use? I seem to start listening to some kind of music and decide that one of my main headphones (AD700s or MS1s)...

Well I've got a new speaker setup for, well frankly for when I feel like having some extra noise. It does seem to have some detail to it but the sound signature is definitely a bit different. Anyway, I have a set of JBL eon 15s (First generation, if it makes any difference), hooked up to a...

Just tried some evian, as it was the only thing at the gas station. I ironically had to go down there to get more milk, since we were out. Anyway, it tastes much better than the tap and filtered water we have. The tap/filtered leaves a bad taste in the middle and back of my tongue, and I...

Right, thought the best place to ask this is my favorite headphone forum, naturally. Basically, I hate water. I hate the way it tastes and if I try to drink more than a gulp or so it starts to make me gag. It's been like this for as long as I can remember and I've gotten around it by just not...

Right well my IM chat buddy ich is being a goober and what not, so I have to ask here. I'm planning on recabling my portapros with some canare star quad wazzitcald. Now the cable has both the left and right channels in it, what I don't know is what to do after the cable splits. Is it just the...

Right, well we need some rules this time. 1) No posting pictures of females, period. if you post a picture that contains females and other stuff, censor the females. Stuff like that tends to set the thread going into areas that piss off a certain mod. 2) Lay off the suggestive stuff, see...

Well I don't know weather it's the fact that I'm finally listening on CD instead of obtained 128-192kbps MP3s, the fact that I modded my AD700's headband to give me some (very much needed) clamp, or the fact that I've been using that NC600 instead of my computer, but by god I'm loving my setup...

Well I keep adding random things to my setup, at this rate I'll actually have something decent going for me. I just talked my parents out of a old DVD player that they weren't using (Sony DVP-NC600) as it is a 5 disk player (All the bonkers albums I have are 4CDs each!) and I also learned it...

Right well this is a bit of a odd preference of mine, but I don't quite like the AD700 headband. Yes it is extremely comfortable, but for someone with a good bit of hair like me, it just comes off way to easily. Personally I wouldn't mind wearing them outside the house once and a while but the...

Right, well I got me a turntable today, and it seems to work for the most part. It's a bic 981, and it apparently needs a new needle. Any ideas for a new needle? Also, being someone who has never owned a turntable before, I don't have a phono or any of that stuff, or at least for the most...

Thought I'd try something new. Seeing as I have had tons of fun hijacking threads the last few days, why not make a thread that is basically nothing but one hijack after another? Rules are simple, don't hijack a topic that just got started, so we can actually talk about something for a while...

Don't forget to use material that can be washed/removed from the dollar later! Oh, and who all likes sniper rifles? EDIT: Whoops hold on. Photoshop time EDIT 2: Fix'd

Well I was thinking earlier and I thought I might type out some of those thoughts. Closed headphones, that don't isolate well, are useless. Unless you happen to prefer the sound of closed headphones (which I don't think I've seen anyone who does) over open ones, then the only real point of...

Well a run by the good ol search says that we have never, in the history of head-fi, had a touhou thread. Minus well start one up eh? For those who don't know, touhou arranges are basically remixes of BGM from series of curtain shooter games known as the touhou project. (wiki) There are...

Alright I made a post in the livewires thread but I didn't get any responses so, How do things shape up in the lower end of custom IEMs? Like the 200-300$ range? The only ones I can think of off the top of my head that fit here are the livewires. Anything else? Also, how to these shape up...

Well I've been enjoying some instrumental metal albums I've had laying around (Crow's Claw - Brutal Games for the Reminding of Death. ) and was wondering if there are any other good non-vocal metal albums out there? Seems like metal is a lot more popular around here then what I usually listen to...

Alright so, how many of you sleep with full size headphones on? What position do you sleep in? What headphones do you use? I personally can't seem to sleep unless my head is down sideways, which makes it a pain in the rear to sleep with headphones on. AD700s have this funky fit that...

Well this one comes with a story. I was at my uncle's wedding today and about half way through the ceremony I noticed a set of headphones sitting on a mixing board on the corner of the stage (or was it an alter? It was in a church, but it was one of those contemporary things...anyway). After...

Well I've been enjoying my recent purchases, but I wanted to take a look into the closed headphones as well. Right now the only closed cans I have are my Q40s, which frankly don't sound very good at all compared to my AD700s and MS1s, due to it's 'if it aint bass it's recessed' problem. I'll...

So I got my AD700s in today and decided to listen to them during the burn in, but something has got me worried, that would be the nasty peak around 8khz. Right around the sibilance frequency, the highs are extremely harsh and some might even say painful. In fact right now they sound a lot...
