New favorite way to listen to music
Recently put our old home stereo in the bedroom, and hooked the inputs up to my headphone's source in a way that they are both going at the same time. Speakers sound too distant, and headphones can sound too intimate. but combine the two at the right volumes and it sounds really good. there is...- Sirwar

Sennheiser 19545 pads on Grado phones
I posted a long time ago about taking the flat Grado comfies, and attaching - best by sewing(even 8th grade life skills sewing skills will do) - the very comfortable cloth from the Senn HD-495 pads on top of them. Although anything comfy will do, I just happened to have those laying 'round. I...- Sirwar

Corda and Grado Good Match or Poor?
I've been away for a while, which Sennheiser pads are these that people are putting on their Grados? edit: I've never liked the bowl pads. I just thought it a gimmi that people would get a pair of Grados, throw the bowls into the growing pile, and put something else on. They aren't...- Sirwar

Corda and Grado Good Match or Poor?
I find that just plugging my 325s into the 120ohm socket gave them a softer, rounder, sound. The 0ohm can be a little harsh/bright, but it also makes for a tighter sound.- Sirwar

Corda and Grado Good Match or Poor?
how about this: you get 1 amp for the specific sound qualities you want, then you hook it up to ANOTHER amp for its sound qualities. I've never heard anyone say that one amp was a good match for another amp. You could experiement with this, try to find a NEW sound.- Sirwar

Corda and Grado Good Match or Poor?
I believe the corda has been tested for completely flat frequency response from insanely low to insanely high frequencies. Logic would say that it would bring out the true sound in whatever pair of cans you have. I have a corda and, until very recently, SR-325. You NEED crossfeed. Need it. No...- Sirwar

SR-325 - Dust has been biten
omg, I haven't used these things for ages. how aweful! bleh! I almost don't even want to listen. Everything is muddy and dead, nothing is precise and clear. The imaging sucks. Feels like I'm listening to headphones, not music. but on the plus side, they are about 1/4 the weight.- Sirwar

SR-325 - Dust has been biten
Well, in a long list of things I can't do, I'll put at the bottom of that "fixing the buzzing sound in Grado headphones". It has having the famous buzz causes by a wrinkle in the diaphram. ya, so I took them apart following the Grado Mod Guide...however in removing the driver assembly from...- Sirwar

You people said that once you get more expensive headphones you'll think "better not eat this" but I have SR325s and I still chew on it like a mofo. Especially that little Y split.- Sirwar

portable cd player case
I've searched on the net for hours, and in lots of stores, but I can't find anything. I just want something to put my cd player in that I can somehow attach to my person so I don't have to physically carry it. Everything I see is big waiststrap things or packs that think they're 'all that'...- Sirwar

MX500 first impressions
roughly $15 vs $300 SR-325s...these win in value ;P in sound...hah okay, now that we've determined that they don't sound better than 325s, we can continue. There really isn't much to say so far because it seems that the characteristics of the sound change depending on the padding, the...- Sirwar

Maybe its not the equipment, but your ears. Try listening to music through something with an EQ, and test the frequencies independantly.- Sirwar

once again, crappy grado build quality...
I love the sound. I use the flat "comfies" which I modded by sewing the cloth from my senn 495 pads over them. the bowls just sound too distance, imo. but ya, they sound great....but for the diminishing returns of high-end audio, you should at least get a decently made product.- Sirwar
