    Buying iFis in Toronto?

    They have been discontinued for a while now.  Your local Craigslist may turn up a set once in a great while.   They also come up on eBay too, but the set is heavy and will cost a lot to ship, domestic or otherwise.

    Headphone Sightings 2

    I was randomly perusing through YouTube the other night for music videos and I couldn't help but post this video of a younger Stevie Wonder rocking to "Superstition" with what appears to be white Sennheiser HD-414's... as studio monitors?!  That's pretty awesome!

    Where can I demo headphones?

    I doubt you'll be able to find most of the headphones talked about here at chain stores.  Local audio and/or video shops are probably your best bet.   I used some Google-Fu and found Audio Visions and they carry the Grado line and a portion of the Sennheiser line. If you Google map them...

    Gilmore Lite Amp Owners Unite!

      Quote:   I think that is normal, as my dial is usually between nine/ten o'clock between my sound card and CDP.  Grados are just easy to drive, and if anything, it just means that the Gilmore Lite has more than enough juice to drive much more demanding headphones.   ============...

    Exclusive Oval Ear Tips Accessory

    I figured I would reply to this thread instead of creating a new one, I hope it will still net a reply.   I have been having trouble keeping the seal on using the large tips, it loosens up after a few minutes.  Would the large double-flanged tips help my situation or should I look toward...

    The Grado HF2--It's For Real

    I've been happily rocking out to my HF-1's and haven't posted in months (and I'm sure a lot of HF-1's have changed hands since I last updated the list), until I got wind the HF-2 announcement a couple of weeks ago and I've been coming back here every few days. Figured I would post after some...

    Need advice on upgrading from Portapros

    I like Grados as an upgrade to the Portapro. Where the Grados might lack in bass quantity to some listeners (especially coming from a Portapro), it brings more control, tight and punchy in impact, and as such, does not overwhelm the presentation. Where the Grados really shine against the...
