    curious about electrostatics -- what about vintage?

    Marantz Electrostatic Headphones #SE-1 W/EE-1 Energizer - eBay (item 290397758245 end time Feb-07-10 17:29:30 PST) I'm just wondering what are the chances that the headset is still functional. I've never had a pair of fully electrostatic headphones before, and I'm considering bidding on these...

    Adapter for UE super.fi 5vi (3.5mm -> 2.5mm)

    So I have a Nokia OEM adapter that I wanted to use to connect these to my E71 phone. The problem is I only get audio in the right channel. I know the jack is not faulty, and I've already ordered another adapter just in case this one is bad... but I doubt that too. Does anyone know what...

    AKG Thunderdome: 4 pairs enter, 1 pair leaves

    I have a K701, a K501 with 601 pads, a K400, and a K240 Sextett. I will be selling three sometime soon. The K240s are in decent but not great shape. The others are in very good shape. I don't have any serious amps or sources now, but that may change in the future. In other words, it would...

    I think my head might be too big for my K340s...

    Yes, that's 'too big', not 'too small'. I've replaced the elastic straps with the thickest, strongest hair elastics I could fit in there, and they still seem really loose on my ears. I think it's because my head + hair is so wide that the headband just rests on my head and I don't get the...

    AKG Sextetts - Cable question

    I ordered a pair of AKG-240s a while ago, mainly out of curiosity. I have a 240DF, which does not impress me that much, and a K701, which is one of my favorite headphones. Well, it turned out they were sextetts. I have not idea what year or anything. And yes, they do live up to the hype. Not...

    Headphone plastic (particularly Sennheiser...)

    I'm assuming they all use ABS plastic. So, if I were to use some ABS primer + cement to affect a repair, it would work better than epoxy like QuikSteel? I recently bought some broken hd580s that were too cheap to pass up (broken headband), and I thought I'd experiement before I try to get...

    Open Headphones... (less than $250)...

    I've auditioned the following four open headphones, and have sold or am in the process of selling each one, for varying reasons: AKG K141, AKG K240DF, Ultrasone HFI-2200 ULE, Grado SR-125. The K141 was simply uncomfortable. It didn't fit on my head properly. So I didn't get much listening...

    HD25-1 II Velour Pads (ARGH!)

    Why is it that the only online stores that carry these are in Australia, Germany, Slovenia, etc... anywhere but the US? Did these headphones never get sold in the US or something? I know that's ******** because the announcing crew at the NBA finals is wearing them!! So what, does ABC have to...

    AKG 240df.. Didn't know you could edit thread titles like this

    I just won an AKG 240DF for $75 + shipping. I couldn't really find a ton of information on these, but they were the cheapest candidate at the time so I made a bid and happened to win. Is this a decent price? Also, I don't really have any other high impedance phones (80Ohms on my DT770Pros is...

    Stax SR-Lambda value question

    Is $250 a good deal for used SR - Lambdas, including SRD7SB energiser? They are *quite* used/beat up, but apparently are fully functional.

    DT-770pro, funny listing.

    I recently received a pair of Dt-770 80ohm from ebay (paid 130$ - soon, I'll probably be looking for an amp upgrade from my original Airhead). I thought this listing was funny: BEYERDYNAMIC DT-770 DT 770 HEADPHONES-USED-NO RESERVE! - eBay (item 190225142084 end time May-31-08 09:24:38...

    Very tempting price on the 580s

    How often do they go this low or lower i wonder? I just bought an mp3 player and the studiophonic/ety things, so I probably won't order these. Still, they are tempting. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826106303

    80GB 1.8" Single Platter HD

    I'm looking for places to buy one of these. I think Toshiba is making them, or will soon be making them. I'm considering getting one to upgrade from the 20gb model in my X5L.

    Tip for X5/X5L owners

    If you need to format the hard drive on the unit (ie it's really slow starting up), make sure to use program on the CD, DON'T format it from the OS.

    The silicone tips for the ER-4P

    I just realized something: you don't need to put them that far back in your ears. I was wondering why it felt like I was under ten feet of water when I was putting them in, I realized they were in way too deep. They don't have to go nearly as far back as the foamies. Before they had almost no...

    Earwax problem

    I'm going to an ENT today because I think I pushed some earwax back into my ear with my ER-4P's foam tip, forming a plug and making me almost deaf in that ear. I still have to decide whether these things are worth the hassle, either of constantly cleaning my ears and the inherent risks of that...

    I saw someone on MAX today wearing Grados.

    Who was it? I couldn't tell which model they were.

    Unusual Yard Sightings.

    a pigeon (we don't see too many of these outside the city). It's too big for the feeder so it was swinging back and forth. It only hung around for about 3 seconds. a deer (we are seeing more and more of these) woodpecker: I hear these every morning but I've never seen one in...

    Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Movie

    http://filmforce.ign.com/hhgttg/arti.../586626p1.html First of all, what the hell is with Zaphod? He's supposed to have three arms and two heads!! And it looks like they took Marvin's "brain the size of a planet" a little too literally. I'm beginning to think this movie will really suck.

    Fedex.com is gone

    Seems like fedex let their domain registration expire. I can't track my package now, everything to do with fedex just brings up the standard domain squatter ****. I know this isn't a browser hijack because I've tried it from home and from school.

    The best book I have read in a long time

    The Cyberiad by Stanislaw Lem. I can't believe this wasn't originally written in English, simply because the use of words is so amazing. I noticed Scrypt started posting again and this writing style reminded me of him. I've also read His Master's Voice, Fiasco, Eden, Solaris, and Memoirs Found...

    Does this happen a lot here?

    I imagine the air is a bit to rarefied in the Head fi gear forums for this type of thing, but I wonder if it happens with any regularity on some of the big tech forums. http://www.bensbargains.net/cgi-bin/...num=1090927477
