I recently received the Maple wooden earcups for the HD600/650 headphones, and after a rather easy DIY installation process (which only requires a phillips screwdriver and ten minutes of your time) I must say I'm pleased with the sound of these babies. A general disclaimer: YMMV! FYI, I have...

Recently, I heard someone say that they "didn't believe in ADD." Suprisingly, I've found that quite a few people harbor this belief! I realize that this is still a controversial topic, but I find it a bit irksome that some still maintain the outdated belief that people currently diagnosed with...

I've recently realized that most of my listening happens when I'm on the go- as in not in close enough proximity to my home rig. Therefore, it makes sense that I should start putting my audio funds where I listen most- portably. Right now, my rig is this: Sony D-NE1 --> JMT CHA-47 --> Ety ER-4S...

I have just ventured into the realm of photgraphy as of yesterday when my aunt gave me her Nikon (AF) N2020 w/ MB-22 flash. My aunt said it was top-of-the-line in its day; is that true and is this a good camera? I also just procured an all-alloy ancient Nikkormat (it's beautiful) of my...

Let the interrogation begin. Oh, and vote in the poll; you may vote more than once if you play more than one instrument. DO NOT vote with bogus responses (if you don't play a jazz instrument for example) or I will be dissapointed. Thanks. Le interrogation: (you may answer the...

I've heard some talking about LP's that modern musicians record onto. (esp. Radiohead) Are there a lot of vinyl/LP equivalents to today's CD's? For example, if James Taylor or Sheryl Crow or Eric Clapton were to come out with a new album, is it likely to be on the vinyl medium as well or am I...

Have friends ever done careless and potentially destructive things to your audio equipment? My headphones have now experienced the equivalent of rape. Let me explain/vent/rant: Just today, someone who was at my house to work with me on a group project decided to fool around with my audio...

What is your degree of computer literacy/aptitude? In other words, how educated are you in regards to computers in general as in do you know the fundamentals, the technical aspect; can you repair one or troubleshoot with ease? The reason I ask is because I get the image that many of you know...

As quoted from www.SACDMods.com "The SCD-CE775 has officially been discontinued. The future players look increasingly cheaper (construction wise), so you might as well get one of the best while you still can!" Obviously this has a bit of advertizing rhetoric and such incorporated into the...

. . is in absolutely awesome condition; hardly any scratches and looks nearly new!! I just got it today, and it is quite large, albeit not as large as I had feared. Good news: it will fit on my dresser. And even more good news: when I opened the hood, I noticed that the tubes in the Melo are...

Hopefully, if all goes well, I should have a Melos soon. But, considering I know nothing about how to set up my system (IC's and all) I need advice. 1)What sort of IC's do I need to connect a CDP to the Melos? RCA? The Melos is the version "with three inputs," if that means anything. What...

I've heard much about the great synergy between the HP-1 and Melos, but is there another headphone+amp combo (it may include the HP-1) that has the same "wow" factor in a similar price range? Brainstorm time! Thanks! Regards, Luke

I'm debating what to get for my next headphone purchase, hopefully my last (yeah right). Well, it's between the AT W2002 and the Grado RS-1. If I were to get the W2002, I would buy it as used, and also sell my W100. The one thing I fear most about getting the W2002 is the "cupped-ear" effect...

I've noticed that many people have Equinox cables for their HD600, while others have Cardas. In short, why did you choose the one you did? Did you have the chance to A/B them? If not, how were you swayed into buying the Equinox over the Cardas or vice versa? I'm on this fence myself, unable...

I predict that I will soon get the MSP over the RS-1 when I have the money (this is because I need a more neutral headphone than my W100 for rock-and the RS-1 does not fit the bill) Most say that the MSP is brighter than the already slightly bright RS-1. I've heard that with the right source...

I know that the RS-1 and many other Grados are not wonderful at extracting low-level detail. This is a problem considering the RS-1 is a headphone I soon plan to buy and I also do not care to listen at medium-loud volumes to achieve transparency . . . or am I misinformed about low-level...

I am considering an RS-1/MSP for my next purchase. But I was wondering about their 'brightness' and 'fatigue factor,' and how prevalent these are in the RS-1/MSP. And what's a better way to find out than to drain the minds of my fellow Head-Fizers?!! Please mark all the answers in the poll...

Well, the title says it all. Where can I find one of these, either used or new? I like the W100, though I could see myself looking at one of these in the near future. How much do these run for as new? Used? Thanks for any sort of help or a point in the right direction-- namely from you...

Not too long ago I was reading the "How Do You Store Your CD's" thread and someone stated that when using CaseLogic cases their CD's became scratched. I didn't really think this was true until I shined a light onto a CD and checked. To my surprise, scratches (quite a few of them) that could only...

. . . Can be found here at Headwize at this link: http://headwize.powerpill.org/projec...avalli_prj.htm Has anyone heard it yet? How would it compare to the great "META42," theoretically, at least? It looks beautiful! Very professional looking! I wouldn't be surprised if either JMT or...

I just got this recording (on CD) and I must say it is really incredible!! I play the tenor sax, and most likely this is the reason that I love jazz so much, but I do especially love the sound of the sax (Rollins, 'Trane, Bird, Adderly, and now Henderson) are some of my favorite jazz...

If you were wondering from the title, I haven't yet (nor do I plan to) dislodge the headphone cable of my ATH-W100 that is attached to the earcup and driver, but I have had some pretty big tugs on it (stepping on it and pulling up, snagging, etc.) Right now I am very likely fine because if I had...

I've been a bit impatient for my Markertek Mini-mini to arrive, especially considering that on the site, when I ordered the cable online, it didn't say how long it would take to get the cable . . . it only said that it was shipping via "UPS Ground." It's not that it's overdue in its arrival, I'm...

Yes, I know what you're thinking! And in direct response to that thought, I DID USE the search function! I did! I did! I saw JML's and CajunChrist's review about the cables, and guess what? I still don't know which to get! Well, with the Kimber at around $40 and the Markertek around $15, I do...

Well, in the midst of these "Team XXXXX" threads, I thought there should be a 'Team Woodie' (inspired by JBannow's hilarious "I Got my First Woodie" Thread). It would be for all the AT lovers out there! What do you think?
