I'm wondering if it would be possible to use this thread to list Desktop amplifiers, which run on battery power ?   I know Blue Audio does this, but am not sure about others.

Uhh ... Someone just contacted me and asked if I would be willing to sell my music collection, if they sent me a hard drive. Is this even legal ?  While I did buy the music, it really is not my place to take money from musician's pockets. Any thoughts here ?

  I used to sell the higher end Grados, as well as the 60s and 80s. But I never listened to any of the mid-range Grados. I will have to give them another try. From my memory however, I thought the Grado's full and forward midrange made for a slightly congested experience.   I was right with...

  Hi S Orange and others ....   Oh man .... I literally DO have some of everything !  My favorite is probably Megadeth, A7X, Iron Maiden, etc ....   I have heard certain headphones do fairly well with one certain aspect of the music, but fail somewhere else. To properly reproduce Metal...

  I did not mean to mislead ...  I have a 2TB pocket drive, but not of just Metal. All of my music is on there. But probably 75% of it is indeed Metal. I have always heard Grados to sound somewhat colored in some way, but I would be happy to take another listen. Which model do you feel does...

All Hail the Metal !  LOL   I have a pretty extensive collection of Metal. All of it is on a 2TB USB Pocket drive. And all of it is burned in FLAC. I sure wish it were easy to list, but it is fairly extensive. When I pull up J-River and push "play",the data says it will play non-stop for 76...

  Good point Wombat ... But the only cans I have found unbearably uncomfortable, are the Grados luckily. I know of MANY super comfortable cans, but they do not necessarily allow me to get lost in the music. Many of them either sound to flawed to even consider enjoying, or they are so "perfectly...

  I meant to say Shure. I will investigate the 215s then, and thanks.

  The Shure IEMs I have heard have had rolled off highs unfortuantely.

  I like ALL kinds of music, but Metal and Hard Rock is my favorite. I will most likely try and trade my GR-07s, but could go maybe $400. I have an amp and DAC.

Well ... almost anyway. I am growing tired of the super accurate, and perfectly balanced sound of my Vsonic GR-07 iems.   I can't listen to music on them, without hearing EVERY detail, and crazy resolution. While this is nice, I just can't get as into the musical experience as I would like to...

  Oops ... I should have clarified. I am not talking about comfort. But the ability to just get lost in the music.

Well ... sort of anyway. I suffer from the very same thing most of us whom love audio do, and that is the ever present dividing line between listening to the soundstage, imaging, FR, decay, etc .... and just listening and enjoying the music. It can be so aggravating when you want to listen to...

Wow guys .....  I am the OP here.  And this thread has went waaay whack.   Let me start off by saying this :  I NEVER intended for my thread to be a complete review. I run two separate businesses, and work 12 or more hours every day. I do not have time to write an extremely thorough review...

So ... just how much better ?   That is my question .... The GR07s are so very good, I find myself wondering just how much better something like the JH  13s or 16s can really be for SO much more money ?    Has anyone heard both that can comment on this ?

Vsonic GR07s .....  Love at first listen   Quote:    

Quote: Sticky backed Velcro ...  

WOW .....   The GR07s are fast .... I mean really, really fast !    They do FULL and complete justice to Megadeth.  Matter of fact, all well recorded Metal sounds amazing through the GR07s !   What they do with bass and drums is amazing, and the crunch on distorted guitars ... wow.   These are a...

Quote: Yes .... HRT Headstreamer is just awesome.  

Sibilance huh ?   I find myself wondering if maybe some GR07 owners are experiencing sibilance due to a system synergy issue ....  I have ZERO sibilance issues with mine through the Headstreamer with WAV files.

Quote: Not a problem then bud .... Just do yourself a favor and NEVER listen to one then !  LOL       What I do like is The HeadStreamer incorporates a digitally-controlled, fully analog built-in attenuator that is controlled by the computer's overall (digital) volume control.  

Quote: Oh yeah ... by all means bud.  The MSII is a superior DAC in the same line, so it will be even better. If Kevin would put the HS's amp in a MSII+, I would be ALL over it !!!

Quote: I only used the GR07s for my testing. They are the most neutral ones I own.  I did not test them as amps, but as dac/amps at the best each could offer.
