Would anyone be up for a can-jam this summer in Pittsburgh?    I spoke with the owner of Vintage Hi Fi of Pittsburgh. He said we can have an event there. It's cozy and beer and grilling are welcome.    If we set a date this summer and begin planning now, perhaps it'll happen.    Does...

I'm sorry you didn't have the same luck that I did. Mine fit perfectly now, and are flush and as you'd call it, "up" against my ears at all times.    I bent pretty hard, I was 99% sure that the bars that make up the headband were going to snap. 

Well, I picked up a set of almost new ATH-AD700's along with a set of Sony MDR-V6's for a whopping $60.    My noggin is fairly large, as I'm 6'4" and weigh 310 lbs. I noticed that when I had them on, there was a 1/2 inch gap between the top of the ear pads and my head. I pushed them flush...

Well I guess I'll just keep my questions to myself from now on. 

Really? Nobody?

Well, I'm looking into buying myself an early college graduation / late birthday present in a month or so. I suppose now is the time to start doing my research.    Currently, I own Grado SR325is set #1667, as well as a set of SR60's. I have G, L, and S-Cush pads (big bowls, OE bowls, and...

It appears that way Nick. I'd even go as far as asserting that the majority of us are math / physics / engineering / cs majors.    We're the only ones who are OCD enough to be this particular about how something sounds! 

Oh I'm a Grado guy, through and through. I'm rocking out on my 225's as we speak!    My CD player has warm qualities to it. I modified it with Wolfson 192 VLC DAC's onboard. They're smooth. Real smooth.    Honestly, most of my listening is done on my turntable. It's a highly modified...
