Symphones Magnum upgrade for Grado SR325 and Alessandro MS2
I'm not sure if it's from being exposed to cold air during shipment (moved from england to italy during the cold months) but mine simply fell off, and i'm not too terribly upset about it (at least enough to bother Rhydon/go without them for the time it would take to send them back) but for the...- borowedarogance

Symphones Magnum upgrade for Grado SR325 and Alessandro MS2
Quote: Anyone have any idea what size is preferable? I'm guessing .125" but I'm not at home to messure the shafts. On another semi-related note: my flats came in from ttvj and man, i'm loving them so far! I do miss some of the highs every once in a while, but for the most part I...- borowedarogance

Quote: I like the look of that! (I'm pretty much using my rod blocks as rod tips atm (minus a mm or three on each side) seeing that I have a pretty huge skull, so I wouldn't really be able to pull the "lock them in place" thing off)- borowedarogance

Symphones Magnum upgrade for Grado SR325 and Alessandro MS2
Speaking of rod blocks, mine seem to have fallen off, and while i did my best to save the one (this happened while on vacation) it was eventually lost, and I have no idea when the other one fell off/it's whereabouts. Do any of you have any good ideas for aftermarket rod blocks, or am I...- borowedarogance

Looking for a 5.1 DAC (XLR output?) (Sub 2K$ preferable)
Hi there, I was wondering if there are any solid DACs to use as a receiver in my living room, I've recently gotten the emotiva pro airmotiv5s and a G-d audio NFB 17.2. I was planning to upgrade by buying three airmotiv6s for use as the front three speakers, along with a sub, and was curious if...- borowedarogance
