    My beloved SR-80s are dying

    By dying, I should say that the sound frequently ceases to come out of the left can. By wiggling the connector around, it will come back momentarily. It's not a problem with the source connector, because i've tried it on multiple sources with the same behavior. If I seat the miniplug firmly...

    I'm crazy over Grado's with these new pads!

    Today I finally got my flats for my SR-80's from Todd The Vinyl Junie, and like you, all I have to say is WOW. The difference in sound is just amazing. I'm still in a little buyer's remorse at the $30 but I'm getting over it pretty quickly Also, I think the flats are a lot more comfortable...

    Weird clacking sound from laptop (hard disk?)

    I've only experienced the clicking sound in one incident. One day it started clicking/clacking, and then two days later it was grinding and whirring. Hard drive died. Get everything off it while you still can!

    I'm new to the forums, and I live on the perimeter (Tucker/Chamblee). I'd love to go to a meeting if it ever materialized.
