JDS Labs Element
I have had my JDS Element for a couple weeks. I really like the detail and musicality of the amp. I just feel like the vocals are just distant. I was wondering if i am hearing things or if other people feel the same?- abellaw

Grado PS-500 Opprotunity
Quote: I have talked to you before about the Magnums and i am still curious about them. But i am not confident enough to do a major DIY job. So do you feel the HE-400s have a similar sound sig to the Grados/Magnums and just do it better? Or do they sound totally different?- abellaw

What to get after LCD-2.1?
Quote: Thanks for your opinion it really helps I think that i am going to go that direction. I am just not sure how handy i am. Did you do the modifying yourself or did you send it somewhere to get it woodied. I should probably look in the Magnum thread to see how much i am looking at...- abellaw

What to get after LCD-2.1?
Quote: I am really enjoying reading this thread. Even though it is taking me away from studying for my finals lol. I really like my Grados sometimes i think i am not an audiophile as from all the headphones i have heard Ultrasones and Grados have the best sound sig. Chris i am not sure...- abellaw

What to get after LCD-2.1?
Quote: I don't think your question is silly at all, i often ask myself a similar question. I am not made of money and as you said you are not made of money either. So your question of whether or not an upgrade is worth it makes perfect sense. I think IEMcrazy is just frustrated with the...- abellaw

What to get after LCD-2.1?
That was a really good read IEMcrazy, at times i have felt misled by what i have read on Head-fi but at the same time i have no one to blame for my self for spending hundreds of dollars based on what i had read. I have a love hate relationship with this site, as i do love music and love hearing...- abellaw

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
That sucks about your old headphones getting stolen. But at least it forced you to get an upgrade. It seems like a lot of people are against having more than one headphone, or at least having different headphones for different genres. I like having more than one pair, in the future i may even...- abellaw

post your grado mods....
^^^^ Thanks i am glad you think so. I think the color is growing more and more on me. But when i look at some of the braided cables that people make i am just amazed. But i guess its all in time. I think i am going to make an interconnect or something next. As far as the headphones they...- abellaw

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
Well it looks like that you have some pretty impressive gear, and it is even better that you are really happy with your equipment. I have had mixed experience with all the stuff that i have bought. I have spent a lot of money and looking back it probably wasn't the smartest thing i could...- abellaw

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
Thats very true. I read somewhere that people often emphasize the differences between headphones. So that people who have not heard the cans can get a better idea of their attributes. But almost everything i have read has been an exaggeration. I read ultrasones had overwhelming sometimes muddy...- abellaw

post your grado mods....
Not sure if this counts as a mod. But a while ago i messed up my grados and one ear wouldn't play. I was close to throwing them out a couple of times. And was considering sending them in for a costly recable. But after doing a little research i found out it wouldn't be too expensive to try and...- abellaw

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
I have read a lot of people saying that these cans are slow and therefore not the best for certain types of music. However i have owned these headphones for a couple of weeks and been listening to them as much as i can. And i really like them for rock and for hip hop two genres that i read...- abellaw

Would you wear full sized headphones with a coiled cable in public?
Before i got my IEMs i used to wear my SR-80s with the couple coiled up and held together with a wire tie. I am sure people thought it looked weird. But after hearing those headphones for the first time i couldn't go back to regular earbuds. From time to time i wear my HD-280s around campus with...- abellaw
