    Took the pads off of my Beyer DT 531's, now can't get them back on.

    Any help out there? I have lost my manual, and I can't find an electronic version on the Beyer website.

    Impressions: aeberbach-made K1000 replacement cable...

    Adam was kind enough to send me this cable to use with my K1000's (completely free of charge), because I was curious about the different K1000 extension cables floating around Head-Fi, and whether or not they actually made any difference to the sound. He told me that if I like the way it...

    My nOrh SE9 will not turn on anymore.

    Hopefully, someone may be able to tell me what may be wrong with my amplifier. I had it on, and was listening to music, and then suddenly it just died, and won't switch on again. Sounds like a fuse doesn't it? Is this easily fixable?

    Is it possible to run two nOrh SE9's in a monoblock fashion?

    This may seem like a silly question, and I really hope it isn't. Is it possible to use one SE9 per channel of amplification, and therefore have, 18W per channel, as opposed to 9W per channel. I'm in love with the sound of the SE9, but it is just not powerful enough for most speakers. Not...

    Problem with my K1000/nOrh SE9 rig.

    Strange problem. I've got my DI/O running into the nOrh, and then my K1000's plugged into the 8 ohm taps. When I play music, not only does it come out of the K1000's, but also out of the transformers at the back of the amplifier. It sounds like there is a mini-speaker inside the...

    If you feed a hot signal (7V) to an amp, does...

    ...that make the amplifier more powerful? I was thinking this the other day. On my NAD 3020B, which is 35W per channel, I rarely turn the volume pot past the quarter mark. I attribute this to my fairly efficient speakers, and the high output voltage of my ART DI/O. Does this mean that my...

    Any NAD 3020 integrated amplifier owners or ex-owners here?

    I just won an eBay auction for a NAD 3020B in excellent condition, both cosmetically and functionally. I intend to use it with some bookshelf speakers, perhaps the nOrh 4.0 ceramics, and some AKG K1000's which I will have very soon. Any other owners out there?

    Will the US dollar continue to fall (and the AU rise)?

    I'm sitting here, wondering whether or not to order the nOrh SE9. Every week, the AU dollar is gaining on the US dollar, and hence, the SE9 is getting cheaper and cheaper. Should I wait it out a little longer, or do you guys think that the US dollar may begin to rise again?

    nOrh SE9 for the K1000?

    I've arranged to purchase some K1000's, so I'll need something to drive them in a few weeks time. $400US is my upper limit, so the nOrh SE9 fits in there well. The problem is, I won't be easy to turn around and sell a 230V SE9 if I decide that it doesn't suit my taste. I'd like a lush...

    K1000 + Solid State = A No-No???

    I've been considering buying a second-hand pair of AKG K1000's, but all I have to drive them is a NAD integrated, with 20W per channel. All of the low-budget tube amplifiers are not available in Australia, so there goes that plan. So what I am trying to say is - would I be silly to try and...

    If you ever get a chance to get a Joe Grado SR-200...

    ...make sure you get it like your life depended on it. I'm one of the lucky few to have a pair that are in excellent condition. I've been listening to my pair for about 1 month now, and I'm loving it. Initially, I wasn't sure about the upfront presentation (being a former HD600 user), but now...

    Happy Birthday JMT!

    I'm unsure about the timezones here, but it looks like JMT just turned another year older! Have a good one!

    Good piano based jazz/pop CD's?

    I was listening to the Dave Matthews Band - Live At Red Rocks album, and there is a pianist who does a solo in the Two Step track. Really enjoyable to listen to. Anyway, is there any music out there that simply revolves around some jazzy or poppy piano work? Funny question, I know. Anybody?

    I'm about to join the "old-school" Joseph Grado club!

    My SR-200's should be here by the end of the week. And from what I've read about them, they should be a pleasure to listen to. Any other Joseph Grado SR-100/SR-200 owners around? Anybody have any sonic impressions that they want to post? What I found when I made a search was that there is...

    I have a Corda HA-1 and a Corda Blue on my desk...

    ...can you guess which one is which? No prizes of course! In direct A/B comparison, it is evident that the CB sounds a lot more refined then the HA-1. This may be because it sounds a lot smoother, and more rounded, more full. Smooth is a good way to describe the sound of the CB...

    Picture of HD600 with a seemingly real CF frame.

    Uhm. Am I going crazy here, or is this HD600 significantly different looking then everyone else's?

    Any W1000 or DT880 owners here who actually prefer the HD600?

    I think Jan Meier prefers the HD600 as a main headphone. But, from all the threads I have read over the past few months, I have not seen anyone rate their W1000 or DT880 below the HD600. I want to purchase a full-sized pair of headphones soon (my stockpile of headphone money is increasing) to...

    I can't listen to my Norah Jones CD now...

    ...I saw pictures in the newspaper today, of her arrival in our city for her concert last week. She flipped-off (gave the finger to) the fans and media who were awaiting her arrival at the gate, didn't say a word or sign any autographs, and made her way to her awaiting car in a flash. What a...

    I like Norah Jones - what else can I get that is similar...

    Well it's all said in the title. Which artists out there have a similar sound to Norah Jones, and her band. Nice simple acoustic instruments, with a good vocalist. Any suggestions?

    My family just got a new painting. What'd ya think?

    I like it. I don't know much about art, but I know what I like. A more flattering picture that was used on the gallery's website... Any art fans here on Head-Fi?

    Ever wonder what everyone else looks like around here?

    Well I do. Maybe I can start a good thread here, but I doubt it will catch on. How about some of us with the means to do so post a picture of ourselves? Bad idea? This is me enjoying New York style pizza in Manhattan over New Years. Great Pizza! Anybody else willing to...
