    Which closed back headphones to buy to replace Grado GS-1000's?

    I am looking to buy some high-end closed back headphones so that I don't annoy my partner when listening to music in the same room as her. I currently have Grado GS-1000's, and like their sound, is there anything closed that can rival or even better these? At work / traveling around I use Sen...

    Some custom Grado I'm working on...

    I've just built some custom Grado's, SR225i drivers, 99.99% pure SCC calbling, dyed red Sen 414 pads. Picked up some damaged SR60's and went to work... Todo over the next week: Fit more comfy, leather headband from GS-1000. Tidy up the outter cups - any advice here? Maybe space out the...

    Best cable options to replace stock on Grado GS-1000? (Stock cable is damaged)

    Howdy all, I've never thought of replacing my headphones cabling, but it's starting to get pretty damaged around the junctions etc... I've seen lots of arguments for / against cable mods, I don't really have an opnion either way, I just want something decent to replace the stock with. What...

    DIY - Audiophile Headphone + DAC / AMP Carry Case

    First attempt below, I'll soon be working on a larger version that will also house my Objective2 Amp + power adapter and some source material such as an inbuilt reference CD collection, USB storage, some Cigars and maybe even a small bottle of Whisky (though I have to be careful about leakages!)

    Just purchased some Grado GS-1000's... Will be Little Dot MK/II+ do them justice?

    I just purchased (second hand) some lovely GS1000's. I have a Little Dot MK/II headphone amp, and am wondering if it will drag the GS's down or not, the reviews for the MK/II were very, very good for the price and have worked well with my AKG K701's thus far. Thoughts...

    Amp / Output Selector Switch - Anyone made one?

    I'm looking for a way to switch between speaker amp and my headphone amp. I don't want to go spending a fortune but I want to try and minimise damage to the signal. Do you think making this up would degrade the sound quality? I was thinking of making something like this: Or a complete...

    Question about wiring a new plug on headphones.

    I've just bought some K701's from Vitok33. They current have a 4-pin Neutrik XLR plug on them - I want to change this back to a standard Jack. I gone and purchased a 1/4 'Switchcraft' jack. What's the best / proper way to convert these back - i.e. which wire goes where? Thanks in advance.

    "Verify your address" Doesn't work.

    I've verified my address quite a number of times but I still get prompted to do this every time I'm on the site.   Any ideas?   "Welcome sammcj! Please check your email to verify your address. Didn't get it? Click here to resend."     Edit: Just found the problem, but not the fix...

    What brilliantly recorded albums should I test my new cans out on when they arrive?

    So I bought some AKG K701's from Vitok33 and a Little Dot MKII Amp. When they arrive I'm going to lock myself in my room until my ears bleed from over-use. The questions is... what fine recordings shall I start with? I've started making a list (In no great order) but I'd appreciate...
