Help or no help, here they are complete:   Lefty:   Righty:   Middle shelf anchoring method (same thing on the bottom):   Flanges for the top and bottom:   What do you'all think?

Hello folks!   I picked up some Canton Karat 20 for about $160 a couple of weeks ago! They sound great, but they each need a nice perch. Here they are (excuse phone pictures):   Here they are on my college desk:   Grills off (velvet driver surrounds...?):   ACMoore false...

Hey guys...   It turns out that a significant amount of music in library has rattle in it in the left channel. I just tried another set of headphones and different source and amp, and guess what, the same rattle exists in the same songs...   I'm a bit of a doofus, evidently...  ...

Grado said they'll cover them under warranty despite my mods!   WOO GRADO!   I will try to send them out today so I can get them back before the semester ends!   Thanks for all your input guys! I hope you liked the Mercedes pictures!

Hey guys! Thanks for the tip!   I tried all the gentle blowing. Playing music loudly doesn't really do that anything.   It still rattles a bit!   Looks like sending to Grado is my only option...   As promised, here are the pictures of that Mercedes!     Here it is!  ...

Halp...!?

Bump to formally thank SONIC BOOM!

Hey guys, if you respond, I'll post pictures of a classic Mercedes I saw yesterday! It's quite a beauty! I'll even post pictures of my cans without the SR325 buttons at the middle of the grill!

Hello folks!   My Grado SR325is are unhappy with me.   It's been a while since my last post. Unfortunately, my return is due to some amount of desperation after trying to fix Grado rattle with no success.   I believe this rattle is this time exclusively my fault. Once, when trying to...

Hello folks! These mods are very impressive! I have one specific one on my mind, though... Now, I don't know if it is even possible or, if it is possible, if it is practical. Here it goes: Is it possible to create a SPDIF input to the PlayStation's DAC to use the PlayStation as a...

Hello folks! I hope you don't mind my bringing up a thread that has been left alone for a while, but I was wondering the following: How are these gel pads installed? Is there a recessed groove along the circumference? I am wondering this because I think these could work great with some...

I ordered some Western Electric 408A tubes from Yen Audio yesterday!   I have to commend Yen Audio for their effort to uphold customer satisfaction! My dumb self sent the tubes to my college address. I told Yen Audio, and their representative graciously offered to conditionally send a...

Greetings, Head-Fiers! It's been a while. I'm glad to say that I have returned after having spent a ton of time with the Little Dot I+ with my Grado SR325is and the Music Streamer II. I guess it's time for a review!   Because I don't have any fancy equipment, this review will be short and...

I don't mean to be condescending, but did you remove the packaging plastic film from the glass? I remember not realizing mine was on and being annoyed with all the scratches. The thing is, that film is so seamlessly attached, you don't even notice it until you pick at a corner of the plexiglas.

Well TMRaven, going from the DAC/Onkyo combination to the Macbook Pro would not be a fair test of the differences between the sound quality of each source. Although when I did this yesterday, I noticed a marked disappearance of bass impact and treble. Also, the music sounded less detailed.  ...

The tests have been done! The music comes alive with this little red box! The bass has impact, the treble sparkles gloriously, I got tingles! I am a happy camper! Now to wait for my Little Dot I+ to be made and shipped...   PICTURES!   THE LENGTH.   THE RCA END  ...

Bump for comments on experimental method!

After snooping around these very forums, I found a very similar thread to this one (sorry) and an article link posted by thuantran. It is still more cloudy qualitative description between the two amps. I nevertheless concluded the following using the posted review.   When they reviewed the...

Sorry about the double post. I am unsure how that happened...   And thanks ABXG! I always assumed that digital cable quality did not matter. Would you say that you are happy with the Music Streamer II?

After much time holding my clenched fist under my chin, I have narrowed my desktop USB DAC search down to two brothers: The HRT Music Streamer II and HRT Music Streamer II+   Needless to say, you cannot really find any solid qualitative differences between the two; just qualitative...

I can suport jleewach's point against the E7. Mine essentially went bad in a couple days. I returned it and now back on the amp/DAC market.

It looks like the iBasso website has been seized by some hacker(s)! What do you guys think? It looks tragic!

 Hello folks, I am new here on Head-Fi, and am pretty much in love with my new Grado SR325is's!   Here are some pictures for all of you folks!   Resting on the Macbook Pro:   Hanging off of my college-granted desk lamp:   One glorious can:   Picture taken with phone...

Thanks again, jackmccabe.   Unfortunately, none of these options are pulling on my heat strings. It looks like I will have to wait to obtain the components I would really want in my desktop listening system...   ...unless there are some gems we've missed?   What I find astounding is...
