Thanks Joe! I'll give that a shot.

Bumping for help, please!

I bought my GR01s about a year ago, and love them. Unfortunately, the other night when I left work, one of the nozzles must have come unscrewed and fallen off somewhere between my desk and the bus stop. I've been searching, and as far as I can tell, there isn't any reasonable way to order a...

Quote:   No comparison in my book. The Denon D5000/7000s can't even come close. For my money there isn't a better pair of closed phones anywhere. That being said, I haven't tried any of the Lawton Audio modified Denons. Still, if I had more time to listen at work, I'd consider owning a...

  Do you have balanced headphones? If so, which ones? Not at the moment. If not, are you looking at balanced headphones or a balanced amp in the future? Am considering whether my next set would be balanced. For balanced headphone output, how important is it to have dual three-pin...

Alright, I don't have a ton of gear and I'm fairly new to this whole thing, but I'll be there.

And... ordered.

schiit.com is down.

I was looking into at CTH myself, but the lack of pre-built options sent me the other direction. I recently picked up a Schiit Lyr for my TPs, and I'm pretty happy with my purchase. YMMV.

Quote:   Did you find that they affected the sound? I tried them myself, and while they helped a bit from a comfort perspective, I felt that they lost some of the tightness in the low end. Made them feel flabby to me.

Can't speak directly to the 580s, but I will say that the HFI-780s had 3 significant problems for me:   1. The clamping force - way too high, especially if you wear glasses. 2. The pleather used is super stiff and cuts into your head - both with the earpads and the head pad. 3. I found...

I figured some folks here might have some interest in taking a look at the Smeggy made Bloodwood Thunderpants I picked up in December. They sound amazing, and my wife appreciates my using a closed can. Thanks Smegs!  

Pulled the trigger on the preorder. Can't wait to hear this with my Thunderpants.

Ultrasone HFI-780. Painfully awful in so many ways.
