cavedave! :) not enjoying my md2000's anymore? I too have fallen victim to the grado line   -AR

I just bought the Grado sr60i's to try out the grado sound, and I think i've finally found the sound for me, I think grado will be my upgrade path, I was getting so sick of recessed mids, this is so refreshing :)   I will enjoy modding and eventually upgrading to a higher Grado model :)  ...

That last photo makes them look HUGE because it looks like they are next to your head ^-^   -AR

To be fair, it was like a toony version of the d7000's on a toon version of eminem so... meh :)   -AR

Just bought some SR60i's can't wait to hear the grado sound and try out some of these mods :D Big fan Bill been watching you for quiet a while *stalker status*   -AR

It's funny how closely this discussion mirrors other various discussions I have.. about other topics. Delusion is easy.   -AR

I walk the streets in hollywood wearing my ATH-M50's every day, so if you see a guy head bobbing to m50's in hollywood it's me :)   -AR

I wish people would stop talking about headphones they have not heard, the only reason certain opinions get spread is because people who haven't heard a headphone will read 1 review and preach it like fact. Please remember this is a subjective field, and you should only have the right to state...

I've been round the block and back again. I just felt like doing a mini review and almost nostalgia session. As you can see in my Sig I have tried a decent amount of mid-fi headphones. I recently sold my k701's (my latest headphones) and did a downgrade because I was curious about the Audio...

Whoever is trying to sell you the m50 for $190 is ridiculous, you can get them for 110-150 fairly easily.   Also the general consensus is yes.

ArmAndHammer,   I saw you owned both the 325i's and the k701's, can you give me a comparison of the sound, which you prefer, and with what genres? If possible.   Thanks, :) -AR

Yeah i was definitely looking at the little dot lineup, do any of you guys have any experience with any of my headphones as i am unable to demo any of these pairs, I would love to hear a direct comparison of how grado's (especially sr225i, RS2i, and RS1i) sound in comparison. Thanks,   -AR

You are right, right now the only amp I am using is a nuforce icon mobile, however right now I am headphoneless, What sort of amp/dac recommendations do you have, also thank you very much for the information I am considering it carefully.   Any more info would be great, I want to get a well...

Well it's that time of year again guys, I've been through many great headphones, MD2000's, HD650's, AKG K 701, AKG K 242 HD, M2's, ue700. From each experience I have learned more about my own musical tastes and sound preferences, I have also experienced what each of these has to offer.   I...

For me, (I can't speak for anyone else) but this hobby isn't about revealing every little fault in music such that 99% of my library becomes unlistanable. There are songs that I absolutely love, that perhaps are poorly recorded or just sound to harsh on other headphones. Those are sibilant on my...

I hear a lot about how dark the hd650's are etc. And I hear the term neutral tossed around often when comparing to other headphones (akg k 701). But let me ask you, when you say SSSSSSSSSSSSSSStuff, there is no grating sibilance no matter how loud you say it, I couldn't care less if your...

That was one of the many albums I tested it with yes, I do plan on getting a desktop amp and dac to test further, but as I said I am skeptical and will tread my upgrade path very carefully. Blind tests for me are very important, I consider myself to have well trained, young ears, when I get a...

Yea I agree, natural not neutral. Sibilance doesn't exist in real life, and therefore should not be reproduced, also bass may be tight and non reverberating on a neutral headphone, but that is not what bass does in real life.    -A R

Hi all, I recently traded my Markl Modded d2000's for a pair of hd650's this is going to be my comparison between the two (I will not compare to gear I have not owned)   A couple disclaimers, i am a skeptic by nature and have tried to separate myself from the large amount of auto suggestion...

Since it hasn't been mentioned in response to a previous comment. There ability for someone at all, anyone to pass a comprehensive blind test between 128kbps and lossless is sufficient evidence to prove there is a difference (not only has 1 passed it, but many, some may fail but that doesn't...

The uDac is really good. The denons (i've had mine for 1.5 years) are really good they do need a few hundred hours to really warm up though. I found them very harsh at first, but after a while they really mellowed out and sound very musical. Burn them 24/7 to your favorite music or whatever.  ...

I think it's not worth it to dump $500 on an amp for a $300 headphone. Headphones should be your first priority, you can get some great amp/dac combos for around 200-300 that will drive any headphone on the market.    What I would recommend is demo all the low end sound sigs. Listen to some...

Any other good ideas, head fiers?     -A R

The chances of vintage lambda's showing up in my price range is pretty low. The AD2000 look pretty good, any other suggestions guys?   -A R
