In July 2012 I contacted AKG / Harmon regarding replacement ear pads for my K701 and was told they were unavailable at that time.   In May 2013 I again requested these ear pads and was told they were still unavailable but that I would be contacted when they became available.   It is now Oct...

I like the sound but not the soft 'olive' tips.   Are there any brand of Tri-flange or Bi-flange tips that fit the large diameter stem on these?

If you listen to Pandora, or any internet radio for that matter, this may be of interest to you. A news article states that Pandora may pull the plug on it's music feeds due to fees eating the profits. They are not alone as many internet radio stations are struggling to survive, many with...

OMG! I just watched this and I can't believe it, what an episode! I won't spoil it for anyone and go into details, but I cannot wait for Part II next week. I only got 'introduced' to the Doctor two seasons ago and for some reason I love it. I am not usually into things like this, or really...

I had the pleasure of seeing Sonny Landreth live a few months back, where he played some of the tracks from the new album "From the Reach". wOw! This guy can tear-it-up and has some unique techniques to add that Cajun spice to an already incredible mix. I had liked what I had heard...

Ever since the 'outage' I have not been able to successfully perform a search for threads on Head-Fi. For example today I typed into the search on the Headphones Forum: RS1 vs RS2. Now I know this used to work as I have done this many times over the past several years, but instead of getting...

Can someone point me to some audio stores in NYC (lower Manhattan?) where I will definately be able to demo both of these fine headphones? I am expecting to visit NYC next month. Since I have no local shops which can offer me a demo I a hoping this trip will afford the opportunity.

Is there a portable device which can connect to my WiFi and stream Internet Radio? I was considering a Roku Soundbridge since I'd like to be able to play iNet Radio without a PC being on all the time, but much prefer something portable. I did find a Sansa Connect that will stream but only...

I see the Windows XP Service Pack 3 - Release Candidate is available for download from Micro$oft. Has anybody tried it yet? If you have tried it, What has it broken?

While I love my Grado's for much of my listening, like many I have to take a break after listening for a while. I do not mean in the auditory sense since I listen at low volumes and find Grado's to do low volumes very well and thus do not find them to be overly bright. No, I am speaking of the...

One of my soundcards is the M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 and I have noticed that sitting there plain as day on one end of the board is a socketed opamp. Does anyone know what it is (it has paint over the numbers) or what it does? Can it be as easy as simply popping this out and another in...

Windows Vista is doing something I find a bit strange. When I turn off "AutoPlay" for my DVD-R/W drive, it will no longer read software discs, but instead offers to "format the blank disc" After resetting autoplay to active and rebooting, it now reads the same disc with no problems...

I recently had a warranty issue with my laptop and received an 'upgrade' in the process. Much to my disappointment, the new laptop is a Windows Vista machine. Now this may not sound too bad to some, but I had gone to great lengths specifically to purchase a Windows XP machine (to the extent...

I have been waiting for 2 weeks now, and although that was within the quoted time frame I was still wondering what was taking Gateway to send my laptop. Good thing I decided to pester them and check on it. It turns out it was shipped on June 26 for next day delivery I count 10 days...

Why RS2 and not RS1? / Why RS1 and not RS2? I have read conflicting comparisons and do not know what to make of this. I love my k701 and really enjoy mr sr225 more and more each day but unfortunately I have heard the allure of the wooden Grado's and I am a'fearin' for my wallet. So...

On the front page of the Radio Paradise website is the news banner: New Royalty Rates Set. Yikes! Here is an excerpt: The US Copyright Office has released their new set of rates for the payment of royalties by Internet Radio, and they ignored all of the facts presented by webcasters...

Jude has posted new requirements as to who can list an item for sale or trade in the Gear For Sale/Trade Forums here: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/announcement.php?f=&a=42 I for one think it is a positive step and would like to thank Jude and the Mods for taking this step to help make...

Over the weekend my eBay acount was hacked. Believe it or not the official eBay website (the REAL ebay site, not a scam site . . . . their 'secure' website) is NOT SAFE! That's correct, the tech I spoke to at their security center informed me that there are 'phishing links' embeded into...

I've been moving about with my Grado's and mp3 player . . . . seems to go through batteries faster. did I get a batch of old/weak batteries? or has anyone else noticed this with Grado's?
