Just received brand new HD650 headphones. On the box, it says made in Romania. The plastic tags are blank, usually where it says made in Ireland. So, are the 600/650 etc no longer being made in Ireland? S.

Anyone here tried SAP II with Grado cans? If yes, good combo? S.

Will these become a collectors item in the future, and increase up in value? S.

Sorry if the answer is somewhere in the archives, too lazy to search! Does the RS2e sound more warmer/smoother than the SR225e? Haven't heard either hence the question. Thanks.

Just curious on what gain you use for HD600's. Which one do you prefer for this particular headphone? Cheers.

Has anyone here tried such combo? I understand the OTL design of the Valhalla 2 works best with high impedance cans. But with Grado's, is the marriage fairly happy?

Has anyone compared the original Asgard to the MK2 version? Do both share very much the same signature? Does the original Asgard also have orange LED bulbs inside on the board?

Just recently acquired a set of Nighthawlk Carbons. Lovely sounding headphones! The tone is lovely and smooth. I have a question regarding the gold outer rim of the drivers. When I remove the pads from both cups. I can see edges of the gold rim behind the metal grill. Is that normal? Or...

Just only recently picked these SR80's up. The cloths look a little pink. Does this make them a mid 90's vintage? The headband is the common plain type. Gimbals, again common. Didn't pay too much, around under £30 GBP. They sound clean, bass is tight. Pics below. S. Grado SR80 by Shane...

In the left cup, I notice a fairly recessed red wire. Is this normal? Should I worry? S. K701/Red Wire

My friend has picked up a Creek OBH-21SE. Have a question to ask on his behalf. He can hear some background noise, that sounds like a 'hiss'. It appears to be constant and doesn't really vary with volume. The hiss is still there, even without a source connected. Is this normal? Headphones...

To avoid buying a fake. Who are the dealers (in the UK) that stock genuine ones? Cheers. S.

Chaps, Just acquired a set of K701's. They appear to have 8 bumps on the headband, are Made in Austria. I notice the lettering on the (AKG) logo on both sides is fading and can easily scratch off. The same thing happens on the L R lettering too. Should I worry about this? These do have a...

I'm based in UK.   I want to buy a new pair of MDR-V6. Where in the UK to buy a genuine MDR-V6? I'm aware of the fakes around!!   Thanks.   S.

Grado fans,   I have some nice ''Black'' Grado SR-325 Headphones. Can an experianced SR-325 user tell the age of my SR-325?   Below are pics.   S.   http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt104/TDL-STUDIO/006.jpg   http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt104/TDL-STUDIO/007.jpg  ...

Are these easy to drive?    S.

I won an older pair that were on ebay. The seller said they are made in Japan, it says it on the headband.   Are these Headphones easy to drive?

Has anyone successfully used headphones on the Pioneer's A400 jack?   Thanks.

I fancy having my old beloved Grado SR80 Headphones modded to look like (to a degree) the Grado GS1000. Plus, I don't mind if the sound changes a little :)   Sadly, I can't do this mod because I don't have the skill and confidence. Any Particular members on here that has exp and can perform...

Chaps,   Any recommendations for a headphone that doesn't need amping and will just sound very good plugged straight into my laptop. I listen to all types of music, the headphone needs to be a good all rounder.   Not sure budget though? Some suggestions will be cool :)   Cheers.

Chaps,   I'm using old Grado SR80 Headphones. Age, I'm guessing mines are 8-10 years old now. They still work good!   I use my Grado SR80s for when I'm using spotify and I plug them straight into my Laptop. I'm happy with the sound and I'm not ready to get a separate headphone amp yet...

I'm not talking about the 2009 version. I'm talking the one that has the older flatter cups.   Are these headphones just as easy to drive like the normal SR80? And are they just as musical as the SR80, Or do they lose out on it?   I'm using old Grado SR80s and like them very much. I have...

Hello, My friend has a Sony Playstation 1, model number SCPH-1002. Serial Number-B3229460 3-966-408-01 Does this particular Sony Playstation have the quality Audiophile DAC? Will you lot need pics of inside the Playstation to tell? Kind Regards, Shane.

  I've been reading, after modification the Playstation (PS1) makes a nice decent CD player. I have an old Sega Dreamcast, and wondering if this machine is also capable to be a decent CD player? Any particular people to search for that do these mods? Regards.

Are the drivers in the Grado SR80 the same as the flagship Grado headphones?   My SR80s are the old model.   Regards.
