    What to put next to the recliner in a quiet room?

    My home theater room has a PC w/Music Streamer II -> Headroom Little -> few different sets of cans (Senn 580, Grado SR325 among others). Everything is under a little end table to the right of the recliner. Complaints with this setup: 1. PC is aging and takes a while to boot 2. PC has a little...

    Rockit R-50 IEM Foam tips?

    Hey gang,   I essentially always need foam tips for IEMs... I have big honkin ears and I need something that expands to keep them in place/get a good seal.   Can anyone link me to or give me good search terms for tracking down foam tips that will work with these?  I really like Comply...

    Suggest IEM (< $110) for use with Go-Vibe 5 (Low Gain). Replacing Er-6i

    My wife let our dog eat my headphones and she'll be paying for replacements out of her entertainment allowance; she has to learn to pay attention to the dog when she has responsibility for the dog.    I digress.   I see Er-6i quality has deteriorated since I got mine ~3 years ago.   I...

    Amp suggestion for: iPod + ER-6i + TurbodockII

    I have the Supermini 1.0 and even with new batteries I never use it because of the noise The noise isn't audible in SR325s or Senn 580s but in those IEMs it is clear as day. Went though some rough spots financially this year but now I can spend some dough to get something listenable...

    My Grado SR-325's are falling apart

    The little stick that goes in the plastic... that hole is worn out to where it doesn't stick anymore. So my cans are always falling apart. Which sucks. A lot. Common problem? Solutions? I'm thinking maybe rubber glue or something that isn't permanent but will keep them together a...

    ~$100 IEM for use w/iPod + XinSuperMini?

    Howdy, Superficial Headroom browsing and dashing around the fora seem to indicate this will come down to either the E2c or the super.fi 3. I've already emailed Turbo about a dock -> 1/8" out adapter. I've *really* gotten in to poker and though I love my Grado325s and various Senns, they're...

    Quality recording, bass guitar rich, clean... bluesy? rock

    I just listened to "My Lovely Man" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers off of the Blood Sugar Sex Magic album about 10 times in a row. Holy crap. My eardrums are bleeding. But man... I haven't enjoyed a recording/listening session that much in a while. I DEMAND YOU SUGGEST STUFF IN THE SAME...

    Static/Clipping in sound playback w/2 different cards

    My 1212 died (cap popped off the card and I don't have the skills to solder it so the part with the 1/4 jacks is sitting out till I can get it to someone to patch it). So I'm down to "regular old" sound cards for the time being. Fortissimo III for a Revolution 7.1 and even a Sonica all have...

    Help with EMU DSP PatchMix & 1212m

    Hello helpful Head Fi people, I have a problem with my (Iron Dreamer modified) 1212m sounding "hot". It isn't terrible, and it is controllable... it sounds great, but it isn't "loud". And by golly, every once in a while I want it LOUD. It was really bad before this summer's Nashville Head...

    I can't get Sonica 1205 drivers to install

    Dell Latitude D600 running XP. Hardware/M-Audio Sonica properties show 1.2.0.0 version in the properties which is really odd when you consider the only version I ever installed on this new machine was the 1205, .exe version (only version I could find). I have tried...

    Please help me set up my new 1212

    I tried to follow this thread But 1) Foobar won't "stick" the 24 w/32 pad setting. Everytime I go back to it after closing out preferences it is blanked out. and 2) every time I create the new 192 +4 DSP session I end up getting prompted to create a new DSP session at the (foobar) "requested"...

    Is there a place/thread to talk about music?

    Seems like there would certainly be such a thing here... but search is bonking on me. Don't want to re-invent the wheel. But I've just heard Enigma MCMXC a. D for the billionth time in my life. This time though, in a whole new light (headphones ++ for this disc).

    Tips for getting the dye out of my Senn pads (for Grado)?

    I bought 4 sets of the Senn (59495?) pads and I spent an hour a couple nights ago washing and rinsing and repeating the process after dying. I let them dry all day yesterday, wore them, got stained, and repeated the washing/rinsing process last night. I used Rit dye from the big bottle and...

    Help me pick my first portable source

    I live in Nashville, TN. No public transit. I’m not concerned with music in coffee shops. My 55s and 128kbps Shoutcast classical at very low volumes is all I’m interested in those environments. That is all I can handle when reading/writing or I get lost in the music. On the plane I’m a socialite...

    < $50 bag for: Grado + CD + Small Amp + a few CDs?

    Any links to fit the bill? SR325, so the thick but short cable on the phones. The discs don't have to be that protected. Its an MP3 cd player. They get scratched and I can burn more

    Using 2 cards at the same time

    "What would you do with a million dollars?" "Two cards at the same time man" I'm a gamer and a music fan. I went from Senn 590s to HD600s a couple weeks ago. Already sold the 600s, as they raped my jawbone and the top of my head. Went to Grado 325s and run through a Headroom Little. I have...

    What to do? My HD600s are very uncomfortable

    I've had them for a couple weeks now and they've gotten a little better, but they're still hurting. Actually, I have the following complaints: 1) The band eats in to the top of my head after an hour or two. Doesn't matter what I do as far as giving the band slack or stretching it over the top...

    Sell me on (and link me to) an upgraded HD600 cable

    Well, I'm new around here but I've been an audio nut for a long time. I'm now the owner of a Headroom Little and HD600s, which sound fantastic! On my home audio stuff I have directional copper, but not the super expensive directional copper. Yes, I can hear the difference in lamp cord and...

    1/8" to RCA cables

    All I have found is Rat Shack's stuff ($7) and the one on meier audio ($26) and the Kimbers at Headroom ($60 -$90). Any difference/opinions on these or alternatives?

    My 2nd set of HD600s in as many weeks. Flawed again!

    Brace yourselves. I sorta like my 590s. They're comfortable as all get out and they sound "clean" for computer gaming. Though I agree, they sound "bright" and I prefer a warm sound in my music (B&W/PSB speakers for movies and living room listening). In the end I couldn't stand listening to music...

    Connecting Fortissimo III to headphone amp?

    I don't have a "line out" from my FortIII. I need a card with EAX as I do about 50% gaming/50% music. Are there filters or some kind of Optical -> RCA out box? Also, I like to swap between speakers and headphones at least once or twice daily (watching video caps on the computer monitor...
