Off topic, but I once bought a car that had had a wet dog in it. Now that's a small that never goes away.

If you soak the car in a tub each week it might alter the smell to please you. Only use organic natural cleaners. Should improve after the first couple of months.

Has anyone already tested Little Dot MKIII with Grado for rock ?

 

[jonathan c]

+1 - Although I do listen with the RS-1x (pro IDSD WE tubes + V222 amp), I cannot think of any setup, that could make this album sound really poor

I can …

Dachshund in Datsun?

Looks like the enhanced sub-bass model

Thanks for clearing this up that you got them used. This is why I never buy used at least not from unknown/untrusted sources “pet product” sticker haha.

He said “no pets” LOL

Dachshund in Datsun?

It was a Datsun .... how did you know

It was an Afghan Hound.
Very much like this one (it was 20 years ago, but I can remember that smell, not even my bloody dog)

Did you say Datsun?

Nothing as glam as that!
I think it was one of these, automatic. Stalled at every stop (and smelled of wet dog)

I wanted to post this about The Hemp sooner/later might as well now:

I can't believe how good The Hemp is !

its been 6 days non stop now... it is still going on and it is not stopping !
(stock F pads wearing them slightly higher on ears/more to top of ears instead of ear center this gives me best results/sound).

It is like in that song:
"once you put a label on something it becomes it, like it is no longer alive..."
(Morcheeba/Charango album: "What New York Couples Fight About").


With my setup d30pro>ortofon reference bronze rca>corda rock ff there is that "background layer" appearing in certain tracks sometimes subtle sometimes more prominent that is resonating with the "main layer".

For last 6 or so days I was thinking this and I still do:

I don't want to listen to anything else because of that syrupy low end (probably thanks to corda rock ff) + that "background layer" resonating with the main one it is like there is another "hidden" driver behind my head in the background...

btw I will have a corda Jazz hopefully soon and I am getting 2nd rock ff (this is how much I like this amp and the synergy not with just The Hemp but mainly with The Hemp it is a strong one).

Corda Jazz will be a prelude to my first tube amp (later this year hopefully).
I am looking for a syrupy/low end obviously or "Your Father's Tube Amp" instead of "Not Your Father’s Tube Amp" as mentioned on the schiit website in the Valhalla description - I am not getting that one.


If you are looking/getting your first and last Grado consider The Hemp.
It is "crazy" Good !

The Hemp is, appropriately, a gateway drug into Grado. I was never a huge fan before, but I bought the Hemp solely on the recommendation of @YtseJamer and it's like the headphone equivalent of a warm cup of chai on a chilly day. Whenever I just want to drift off into my music (rock/metal) I throw on the Hemp and think more about the emotion than technicalities and I am happy. It got me looking at other models now, just to try em out.

After 2 days with the Rs-x1 the cable got to me
But I did not fancy ungluing the driver on 2 day old £750 headphone
So I have put inline 3.5mm 3 pole female socket

I also took apart the old cable from my 325x
basically the 2 reds(+)left side run straight from the plug via the Y connector to the driver
also the two white right side (+) run straight from the plug via the Y connector to the driver
The 4 blue cables all got to the Y splitter and are joined together then a pair go to each driver

This is only a temp mod unit I have plucked up courage to fit sockets into the shell

Your seller would like his purchase returned

I think I'm gonna be.... arggh

I was going to do the same with my Hemp. What sockets did you use?

I got them from
Here
https://www.designacable.com/catalog/product/view/id/4330/
It only took 30mins
Plastic would be lighter
A good tip is clear or black nail varnish to stop the braiding from fraying and also as another insulation on the joints.
I was going to cut the cable 1cm from the cup
Then strip the sleeving and outer
Soldier all 4 cables together in a loop
Push the cable through the hole in cups
Then open the hole with a adjustable reamer to the size of the socket
Hook the cable from inside the cup with a wire hook
desolder the cables and then resolder them to 3.5mm female socket(+ together to tip contact and - split the the - to the two rear ring contacts)
Add a very small amount of epoxy resin/glue to the socket
Then pop it back in and let it dry.
And prey
