    Vsonic GR07 Replacement - Need Suggestions

    My original (not BE) GR07 finally bit the dust. Can you guys suggest a model with a similar signature (balanced with great sub-bass) to replace the GR07... Whatever I buy next must have is detacheable cables (my GR07 is dead because of crappy cables).

    IEM Recabling

    I have an old pair of Vsonic GR07s and the cable is falling apart from age. Little pieces are flaking off just by touching the cable. Does anyone know of someone (perhaps a forum member) who can change the cable? Thanks...

    Before and After (the insanity took hold) Pics

    I found an old thread (from back in 2012) where I posted this picture:           And this is how that corner looks today:         But then again, I was already down the road to perdition back in 2012 -- I had a lot more headphones that were not in the picture.     Do you guys...

    OPPO HA-1: Opinions needed

    Tax refund time is here...and I've convinced myself to put some of that money to good use.   I was almost ready to buy a used Phonitor, but then I came across the soon to be released HA-1.   Would you guys wait until impressions of the HA-1 come out, or do you believe that the Oppo will not be...

    Need HeadFi collective advice! Bad Trader?

    I need some opinions from you guys (specially the people who have conducted many trades and sales here on Head-Fi).   I'll leave out names for now.   Okay, so a week ago I put up some ATH-M50s for trade in the sales forum.     Since a thread is worth 1000 words, I'll just post the...

    Modifying my computer rig! Need apparatus and I don't know if it exists (or what its called)...

    Right now I output my audio from my iMac to a small Yamaha receiver that powers my speakers and sub.  I listen to the speakers when I can, but when the girlfriend is around I have to use my headphones (from the Yamaha).   I would like to get a DAC\amp or just a headphone amp into the mix.  I...

    Need Speakers...Need Advice!!

    I need some help and some advice.     My Monsoon system just died (well, the subwoofer did).   I really loved this system…even the subwoofer.  I shed a couple of tears and then moved on.     So I came to the forums looking to find a new 2.1 system.  It seems that there are no great 2.1...

    iPod 4G or Chroma????

    To buy or not to buy…that is the question. I just ran out of space on my 15gb iPod. To correct this horrible incident, I feel the need to buy a 40gb 4th gen iPod. But… I have grown a little tired of Apple. I hate the fact that they can’t get the “scratch magnet” metal back right…after all...

    Cleaning CD player...Need Advice

    Hi all… One of my CD players (bookshelf system) has started to skip. I think that a CD cleaning kit might help, but I don’t trust the products that they sell at department stores (most seem like a gimmick). What do you guys use? Are there any products that really work?

    Best amplifier for low impedance cans????

    I recently purchased a Pimeta…and I can’t tell much difference between the headphone out of my ipod and the amp (using line out). I’m guessing that this is due to the fact that all my headphones are low impedance models (HD25, Eggo D66, SR60). I want to try another amp…something designed for...

    AKG 501 or Alessandro MS-2. Help me decide.

    I posted the following question in the Welcome back AKG K-501 !! thread: Quote: Originally Posted by elvergun I read similar comments about the lack of bass on the Eggos D66…I went ahead and purchased them anyway, only to find that they were indeed bass shy. I performed the tape mod...

    Newbie First Amp…advise needed.

    I decided to purchase an amp. I would use the amp to power my SR60s (work) and Eggos D66s (home). I’m using an iPod as the source. I plan to get some HD580s in a couple of months. I’m thinking of getting a Go-Vibe, but I worry that I will get the upgrade bug soon after. Will the Go-Vibe be...

    Grado Mod (Need help from HD580 owners)

    I want to “mod” the headband of my SR60s by installing some sort of cushion in order to make them more comfy. I was looking at the Sennheiser site for the 414 pads when I came across the replacement headband cushion for the HD580s. Is anybody out there familiar with both the SR60s and the HD580s...

    Received my D66s, AV-710 and SR60s today. Chasing the dog saga – Chapter 3.

    Today was good…I receive my Eggo D66’s, my Chaintech AV-710, and I bought a pair of Grado SR60s. This site is thinning my wallet very fast. After my last series of posts, I chose the D66s for “chasing the dog around the yard” duty. When I heard them for the first time I asked the question...

    I’m thinking of replacing Audigy2 with a AV-710. A couple of questions.

    Hi. I didn’t know just how bad my Audigy2 card was until I started reading posts on this forum. I find that recently I don’t use my computer to play games - I use my Xbox for gaming - so I decided that it would be a good idea to replace the Audigy with a Chaintech AV-710. In anticipation...

    I should have listened to you guys. Help me...again.

    A couple of days ago I wrote about the fact that my new A500s did not work out for dog chasing duties. I mentioned in that post that I had tried a pair of V700 that I thought I liked. Well, against all your warnings, I went ahead and purchased the Sony phones…and I think I am now suffering from...

    I’m about to buy a Movo2 4gb. I have a couple of questions.

    Firstly, do you guys know of any rebates or coupons to buy online? It seems that I will have to buy it from an online merchant because nobody seems to have it for sale in San Diego. I’m also thinking about buying the remote. Is this gadget a waste of money? I heard that the FM tuner is not...

    The A500s did not work out...need advise.

    Ok…back to square one. I bought the A500s…they sound great (I thought the sound quality of my iPod was crap until I heard it with these phones…what a difference…no more distortion at high volumes), but the cans are just too heavy. I need something lighter and less awkward. Among other uses, I...

    A900 vs. HD 555. Last questions before I pull the trigger.

    I like the A900s…but just to make sure I make the right decision before I make the purchase... Another set of cans that really interest me (and that are locally available to hear and buy) are the HD 555. I know that they are open while the A900s are closed. I don’t care about the open/close...

    Help a Newbie out.

    Hi all…I need some advise. A couple of months ago I bought an iPod. The first thing I did after I got home was to purchase a pair of PX200s based on Amazon.com user reviews. While the PX200s are Ok, I find that they are a little bass weak and a tad uncomfortable to be used on a daily basis. I...
