    How much have your kit changed? (1000th post recollection)

    So, I hit a thousand and that makes us all look back to our first. What!?! $100 FOR CANS U MUST BE JOKING. Personally I found this site through Headroom while trying to find out about better sounding headphones. My first pair were, and still are in my heart, my Etymotic ER-4S. From there...

    Small Montreal Mini-Meet to celebrate SPRING!

    "Cozy up to warm, luscious music" So, Ive seen a couple people here there from Montreal. Anyone for a mini or micro meet. Just on afternoon at a restaurant or cafe to try some stuff out. Probably would have to stick to the portable stuff. But I know Canada is a hard place to get headphone...

    Amps are overated?

    I have HF-1s. Etymotic ER-4S. I love them to death. Etys were my first real cans. Grados have always been something special for me, and special woody editions only makes them even better. All I heard about them was, AMPS HELP SO MUCH. I was weary though cause I hate making things complicated...

    Xin Style Ety Re Cable?

    So recently I stumbled upon an interesting find: I love my Etys. I know many others do. I just have four problems with them. Uncomfortable, microphonics, not quite enough bass, and they aren't flush with the ear. I know these are the most popular problems. Yet I strongly believe they are...

    Difference between AKG K601 and K701

    Just wondering what the difference was between the two. I was looking for my first closed headphones. I have a pair of Etys and HF-1s and am looking something to complement that. Looking something detailed and good for jazz. I'm thinking these are good but any other suggestions would be...

    RSA Tomahawk Color

    Just wanted to gauge interest on the white Tomahawk. I love it and completely want it. Maybe if enough people agree, we can entice Ray to make white sooner than before next year. I really want one to match the snow outside.

    Bit Rate/Codec Study

    So, I know there are plenty of threads on this. But, most seems to break down into bitter arguing over subjective feelings on the issue without any facts. So, lets try to make as objective as we can such a test. Hopefully everyone could post a little study of various Bit rates and codecs, so...

    Your iGrado: Black or White

    Just wanted to see what color people liked more. No more white nanos... that makes it harder to color-coordinate.

    DTLH: Find that Head-Fier!!!!!

    I think we need a thread where people can post spotted cans. But instead of just whats the best can, maybe this can be productive. Add a bit of location and maybe we can see if Head-Fiers spot each other on the street. So, here is basically a calling to see if someone on Head-Fi was the guy I...

    Replacing Glue on HF-1s

    Ok, Well... that glue that holds the wooden driver housings to the metal screen has become.... welll.... not so gluey Now, my driver housing separates from the metal screen. Most people say to contact Grado to have them fixed, but because I'm now in Canada. They won't fix it for me and...

    AudioLineout Grado Cable Switch

    How much improvement in sound quality is there if AudioLineout changes the cables in my HF-1? Also, are the cables more practical? Or do they become heavier.... and more for home use?

    PC MKIII USB or Bithead '06

    I want to use this with my Apple laptop and my ipod. Like portability and battery life. I have a set of ER-4S and Grado HF-1s, so been in desperate need of an amp, but don't want to break $250 and would rather have a DAC built in if I'm going to spend that much. So, any comparisons, sound...

    My Grado HF-1's cup fell off!!!

    The wooden driver housing on my HF-1 fell off. The cup just fell off, it seems the glue didn't work so well. What should I do? Should I fix it myself? Talk to mr. Grado? How do I fix it?

    Big Difference between ER-4S and P

    I have an Etymotic ER-4S and I'm loving it. I just got some smaller tips in from Etymotic for free. Thank you! But now I'm wondering is the S much different from the P. I don't have an amp and I'm just using it straight from an iPod. The volume is fine for me. I mean I could use a bit more...

    Pre-Amp for car system?

    I'm trying to figure out exactly what I need. I don't know if there is a non-custom amp that can do this. Yet, if there isn't I would still like to know maybe some specs that could help me order a custom amp would help since last time I tried, builders asked for more specifics. So, here is the...

    What is gain?

    I've been with these forums a long time, but you know there are some basics I still missed along the road. What exactly is gain? Is it merely the resistance in an amplifier?

    Amp Solution?

    So, I needed an amp for my car audio system due to the weak signal coming out of my iPod. I don't mind building one or buying one from someone who would making one, but if I can find a decent cheap solution, I see no need to due the latter. I just want the most amplification for the signal since...

    Last HF-1 Arrived

    Thats right the last one arrived. #451. One more than expected, someone in the postal office knew the goodies in Todd's boxes and walked away with a nice pair of Grados. But, neverthless, nicely Todd shipped me one more. Pictures pending. Review pending.

    Here's the deal. Its my birthday around Thanksgiving and I was smart enough to go to the annual Turkey eating family reunion this year, which means I came back with some money. Yet, more importantly sans une iPode (yes, French Canada was the destination [and ...yes I know they don't have...
