    I'm thinking of buying Grado SR-60s... good idea?

    Quote: Originally Posted by patman2769 Also, how is the sound quality of the SR60s? From what I've heard, it's the best you can get for around $70. I'd also been thinking of getting the SR80s, but I've heard that without a headphone amp, they are muddy and terrible sounding. Is this...

    Grado flat pads

    My ER6I'S ARE HERE!

    I got mine today and listened to them briefly - coming from the Grado SR-225 with flats, I was NOT disappointed with the bass at all. Great isolation as was expected. More later.

    Belcanto DAC2 vs Benchmark DAC1?

    Quote: Originally Posted by remilard Either way, I hear no difference among the AV-710, Pioneer DV-563a and a friends Meridian 508 as transport using newer cds. FWIW, I can't tell the sonic difference between a Sony PCDP, a NEC CDR-602, an Audiotrak Prodigy and the AV-710 when...

    A Don Herzfeldt 'Rejected' graphic! Very cool, sly! My first head-fi headphone purchase was the Grado SR-225. About to make my second with the Etymotic ER6i...

    All my MP3s sound like the chipmonks...(@#%!)

    Quote: Originally Posted by Davie I've recently tried playing some mp3s on my office computer. They all play sped up so they sound like the chipmonks. Anybody know if this can be cured? I'll admit it's an advantage to be able to listen to music in half the normal time, but in every other...

    Grado SR80, bass, and the Bithead

    Quote: Originally Posted by bassd00d Since getting the headphone amp, however, I'm getting less bass, which surprised me. I thought I would get MORE with the amp, since I hear that it improves bass response. The bass does sound more defined, and not muddy or boomy, but it's also not as...
