    The Great Grado Experiment (4 tonewoods tested, more to come!)

    Les Paul guitars have a mahogany bottom with a maple top giving them a lovely warm, punchy sound with lots of sustain. How about mixn n matching the wood on your next set of cups?

    V-Moda is an option, thanks. Also not available locally. @wilyodysseus agreed.

    The Senns appear to be the number one favourite, but I must admit the Phiaton recommendation is an interesting one, @Gilly87.

    OK! I posted on this in the full-size forum and got no traction even though the DT150s are full-size... so my bad, and I'm willing to try my post here...    A bit of background. I've been travelling for + 8 years and am in the process of settling down. I have a large collection of music back...

    Cheap compct digital camera with a large sensor?

    best player to use with AKG 518 LE

    I'd say +$250.   I was interested to see your suggestion to Rockbox the Clip, which is what I am using now. How would this change things?
