I'm very happy with my Shure SE215 - these made me realize iem's can just as/very nearly as good as full sized headphones.  Just my $.02

Yeah I'm not really worried about the "integrity of the data stream" or anything. I just remembered things sounding a little.. maybe better seperated would be how I would describe it, with the KS.  Quite possibly placebo, but I figured it was worth asking if someone knew what was up.  Guess I'm...

I can live with DS, and that's probably what I'll do.  I just figure if I go through the trouble buying expensive (to me) equipment and getting the right formats/software for my music, there's no reason to spend a little extra time setting it up so my PC plays it as perfectly as possible.  ...

Recently I had some issues with my computer sound and I've gone through some pretty weird problems trying to fix it all.  I have an Onkyo SE-200PCI LTD sound card with the most-current drivers installed.  I used to have KS working fine through foobar.  I don't know what happened that threw a...

If I remember correctly, PA2V2 is just an amp (no DAC), which means you're just using the onboard computer soundcard.  Listen for yourself and see if you hear any problems/noise. :)

Chrome #5150 checking in.  I'm in love <3   Also curious about the G-Cush impressions!

My first pair was some Grado SR-60i's.  I gotta say I don't regret that purchase at all.  You could technically get a bit higher on the Grado ladder for your budget, but I'm not sure I would get anything above the SR-60 until the SR-225.   One thing I do wish I did from the beginning was...

I picked up some SR-325is's about two weeks ago and they are just awesome!  I admit I don't love the chrome finish, but you can't have everything I guess.  I was worried about them being too bright/sibilant, however I found that not to be the case, for my taste anyways.  I wonder if my amp has...

I'm curious as well, anyone know how this would stack up to, say, the Musiland Monitor 02?  I know the Streamer II+ is a price-bracket ahead, but it relies on the USB power.

  Quote: I love that final product.  Super classy look, especially with how well the leather matches the wood's tone pretty well. Big thumbs up =]

+1 with what they said, hehe.  I bought the K701 as a step up from my SR-60i and I was somewhat disappointed.  I even have an ASL MG-Head OTL (Mk II tho, I don't really know how different it might be to the newer Mk III) and I still don't love them for rock/anything where bass matters really...

I'd recommend reading through at least the first page or two of this thread: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/534479/mad-lust-envy-aka-shin-cz-s-guide-to-headphone-gaming-particularly-with-dolby-headphone   I know it's been referred to at least but I don't know if it's been asked...

Yep!  That's the headband thread I was planning on following.  Looks like a good place to start.  I was thinking maybe finding some kind of memory foam sample or something to use for the padding.  Might be too much hassle tho.   Bilavideo you're a machine!  Those look great

Haha can't say I would have ever thought to use frickin' laser beams to DIY a headband for my headphones.  I feel like that should go in the "you know you're an audiophile when" thread.  Totally awesome.      PS: The headband looks awesome.  I'm also debating about a DIY leather headband...

Hope that's not backwards in real life too :D  Do you put that GRADO label on there?  How'd ya do it? Stencil + Dye?   Quote:
