It's been a while since I've posted but I'm looking to upgrade my Grados a bit and was wondering what kind of mods are out there. Updated wire quality? The wire coming from only one cup? Cup mod? Headband? I want to know who I can go to to get these things done and for how much and which ones...

Blackbeard Ben, that seems to be the best response so far.  The day I posted this I saw Audioengine's return policy and decided to try out the A5's.  Heard good things about them and for $300 the USB port on top could make them easily transportable and set up at a different location than just my...

My budget is around 500 for everything as of now.  Will probably raise at the end of this.   The NuForce products are really catching my eye.  Are they worth that money?

Flashpoint603 Thanks for the advice.  The Micro II looks like a sweet deal and I'm thinking hard about getting it but the point of this system is a jumping off point to grow when I have the time, money and space.  When I move into an apartment two years from now I want to build on this not...

Yes I will be living with a roommate, but I don't think the leak from the Grados will be much of a problem because of usage time and I also own RS 120 from Sennheiser.  Also I have talked with the roommate and (Butler is a liberal arts school) he agrees we need a good sound system.   On the...

Recently I bought Grado 325i's and hearing is my only sense still working.  (Common sense is out the window.)  I now feel compelled to build a set up.  Going to college next year I am not looking for anything huge and expensive but fitting for a dorm room with as high of a quality as I can get...

Quote: Haha didn't read it all the way through.... on the 8th post it does say that it is in fact impossible to get custom EQ's other than the 22 stock EQ's.  That's what I get haha.  But I'm just speculating now that a jailbroken iPod Touch or iPhone will have a app that creates a custom...

Quote: Yeah I know that's why I stated the stock EQ's such as the R&B, Bass Reducer, Bass Booster etc.   But you can create your own and it was explained last year (I haven't tried it yet with iTunes v9) in this...

Quote: Well the newer iPods have EQ's in it but just the stock ones.  iTunes does have it though.   Nothing is perfect haha

Compared to my laptop with Soundblaster X-Fi Hi Def Audio the iPod is very shallow compressed and metallic.  I still love it and will buy a portable amp to carry around in my backpack around campus to make it sound a little better. It is the best option for price and size.  Also resale and...
