    Sell Senn 650/Grado GS1000/Denon D5000 for Grado PS1000?

    I am in a quandary. A local person is selling his Grado PS1000 for a reasonable price I think. But to finance it I would have to sell at least 3 of my headphones, the Grado GS1000, Senn HD600 with Cardas cable and Denon D5000. On top of that I have the Grado RS-1 and the Senn HD800. For some...

    Anyone else getting bummed out by the high price of new high end headphones?

    Let me just be frank first and say when I discovered head-fi and started off into headphone land about 10 years or so ago, it was about great sound as much as it was about ego satisfaction about owning a top of the line headphone. About 12 years ago I started off with the Grado 60, then the...

    Has anyone seen/tried the new Pro-Ject iPod Dock Boxes?

    I just saw one of these at a local dealer yesterday (don't know which model it was). Pro-Ject Audio Systems Pro-Ject Audio Systems Unfortunately they don't have a digital out (optical/coax). Only line level and usb outs. What I am wondering is if the usb out can be fed straight into a...

    Does your zune battery die overnight?

    I picked up a zune 80 now that it's avaiable in Canada, I had to give it a shot. Other then not having a line out, I am quite impressed with it, especially with it's podcast support which is superior to the iPod. Anyway, my problem is, that when it's fully charged and I use it for say just...

    Rediscovering the fun of a small but good speaker setup.

    Well, after so many years of using headphones in my small home office, I am discovering the joy of having a decent two channel setup in the home office room. I have my main gear in the living room, but it's rare I get the opportunity to sit there an enjoy it. Maybe once a week if I am lucky...

    Why do my powerex 9.6V batteries keep going bad?

    For my portable amp, I've purchased several powerex 9.6V batteries over about a 1.5 year period. I also have their 490F batteries. Actually I have (or had) 12 batteries. Half of them don't want to charge in the charger anymore. It just starts flashing red. I've only charged them in the powerex...

    07 Headroom Portable Desktop worthy upgrade from 06 Micro Stack?

    I have the Micro Amp (with 06 desktop module) and DAC that are now discontinued in favour of the new Micro line. I however keep getting intrigued by the Portable Desktop. There is very little user feedback on this amp. The Canadian $ being worth something these days, it is within reach if...

    Do you think this might be an in-expensive fix for my old Headroom Home...

    Of all the stupid terrible bad luck. On a whim, I put my 7 year old Headroom Home amp on sale on Friday afternoon. For the very first time, I made a sale so quick it threw me for a loop. I had the money in my paypal account on Saturday night. Last night I had to refund the money. Before I...

    Should I dump my Benchmark DAC1 for a Stello DA220 MKII?

    Hi, there is a guy locally who is selling his Stello DA220 MKII DAC for a good price . I've been agonizing the last couple of days if I should get it and then sell my Benchmark DAC1 which I've had for a year. I don't really have any complaints with the DAC1, but sometimes you come across as...

    Battery frustration with Maha batteries and Headroom Micro Amp/DAC

    (Just to be clear first, I am not pointing fingers at Headroom as it might seem at first). Anybody else have any headaches with batteries and the Headroom Micro Amp/Dacs? I am no longer sure if my problems are with the batteries or the units but it is very frustrating. First let me mention...

    Headroom Micro DAC and problem with USB input.

    I just received my Micro DAC a couple of hours ago and I have it hooked up to the Micro Amp I got last year. I have them hooked up and am using the USB input connected to my notebook and playing back some flac files which were ripped using EAC. I am using foobar200 for playback. I am finding...

    What would you do? (a rant)

    So my stoopid self got myself into trouble again and am kicking my behind. Me being the impulsive buyer thought I would sell my Grado 225s and get the 325i for use at the office (I have the RS-1 and GS1000 at home). I auditioned them at the local store liked the sound and bought them even...

    Can blasting loud volume through E500 damage them?

    Wasn't paying attention when I plugged in my E500 to my micro amp. It was on the high gain setting and the volume was turned up a bit. Blasted my ears for about 2 seconds before turning the amp off. Somehow now I have it in my head that I might have damaged them (the phones, not my ears)...

    How much to ask for original Headroom Home Amp?

    I may have a possible sale at work but am really confused about how much I should ask for my original Headroom Home amp? Back when I bought it it was $699 USD and with the Canadian dollar worth squat it cost my over $1000 CAD. I know it's not worth a lot now, but I am not using it and was...

    Dang. The right ear cup on my GS-1000 just came off...

    The right ear cup just fell of the rod that it is attached to. I am sure it's just one of those things, but with I think these phones in short supply it's going to be a while to get it fixed or get it replaced. I only just got it two days ago as well. This is disappointing. I've had the...

    If it helps anyone, my notes on the journey for my first IEM

    So I put it into my head that I wanted an IEM. I've been listening to a lot of podcasts and wanted to listen when my kids are at their various activities. Normal phones like my PX100 just don't cut it in the noise environment. I figuered I would just get the Shure E2C as I didn't really want to...

    Relavence of Headroom Micro Dac for portable use?

    I just can't help but ask myself the relavence of the Headroom Micro Dac for portable use. What I mean is that other then the USB input which you can use with your notebooks and the optical out of the iRiver Hxxx series, there really aren't any other portable devices you can use with it...

    Are the battery comparments in your Headroom Micro amp really tight as well?

    I just got my amp, and wanted to put batteries into it. The first thing I noticed was the compartments are really tight. In fact at the top of the compartment in the middle that little hang scratched the side of the battery. Once in, I could not ge them out. I had to use a fork to pry them...

    Major disappointment...

    Holding back the tears. Sent Headroom an e-mail with the serial number of my Home Amp from 2000. They said the module is not upgradeable. Major downer after getting all excited over the weekend thinking about getting the module upgraded. Especially considering it cost me $1000 CAD when I...

    Browsing by Genre and then Albums (and not Artist) possible on iPod?

    I just got a 5G 60GB iPod (to give my iRiver iH140 some company) and I was wondering if on the iPod when you browse by Genre you can have it display a list of Albums in that Genre and not a list of Artists which is what it does currently. For some reason, I prefer to browse Genres by Albums...
