    Errors ripping CD -> FLAC Foobar2k

    This is really the first time I've tried ripping right to FLAC. Something is wrong somewhere and google hasn't been much help to me. I get an error log that looks like:     10 out of 10 tracks converted with major problems.   Source: "cdda://00B4022D" / index: 1   Audio CD extraction...

    You know you're an audiophile when...

    Quote: I just went to a Royksopp concert and was thinking I was doing a terrible thing to my ears as I was right up front and getting the full effect of the bass.

    Headphone Sightings 2

    I work at a grocery store in the grocery department. I bag rarely but I bagged for like 10 minutes cause it was busy. I bagged a guy's grocerys and noticed he was wearing Koss KSC75's. I said that those are a good choice of headphones. He responded saying they only cost $15. And I said, but they...

    Alessandro MS1i Ruined Driver R.I.P ... :(

    On second thought, that could be the magnetic coil wire. Maybe my driver was always like this and I've never analyzed the sound as much before. But either way, I do not see any obvious damage to the drivers through the holes.

    Alessandro MS1i Ruined Driver R.I.P ... :(

    What did you use to make the holes?   Also I seem to be having the same problem. Though I have heard this sort of thing before, it could be due to hair on the driver. It is possible to remove them. Right now I am looking under a microscope projecting light from behind and can see in one of...

    lol I just did the hole punch mod and I found the bass I was looking for. I will be heading to Staples tomorrow after work to get some metal to work with.

    Alessandro MS-1 Pads

    If you bend the headband a little bit it may relieve the pressure, though I still found the comfies to be uncomfy. I've never tried the HD414 pads, but I hear some people prefer them to the stock comfies.   I would suggest 1000'ing them. Though it may cost a bit for both the G cush pads and...

    Time for a little photo op!     Since the volume doesn't matter on the E7, I put it at 11 as a joke.

    JMoney Headband colors?

    I have the dark brown version. And honestly, the flash on my camera does seem to contrast it a little more. It doesn't really look this vibrant.

    I used a glue gun and a tooth pick to even out the bead.   I put the pads on.   And then my face has been like this ever since.   "Goodbye" by Ulrich Shnauss is making me cry now.

    So I now have all the parts necessary for the mod. But I was wondering what people use for the glue. I was thinking of hot glue as it is something that I have. Any thoughts?

    Alessandro MS1000 and MS Ultimate - DIY & modding [56K warning]

    So I really can't wait to begin the modding process. I bought a J$ headband, that that thing is great. Waiting on the distancers from Nick (thank you :)   ) But there is only one thing. I purchased the g cush's from AV hifi as Amazon didn't seem to have them. AV hifi kindly sent me an email...

    Grado Fan Club!

    I got my Alessandro MS-1's a couple weeks ago and I am enjoying them much more than my HD555's. I think I may just sell them. I am currently in the process in 1000ing the MS-1 to open up the soundstage and get a little more bass. Plus it will add to the comfort, which is a huge plus for the...
