New cans soon: GS1000, HE500, or LCD2
So after doing about 5 more hours of research online, I think I'm going to go for the HE-500. Something different from what I have now and I am reading numerous reviews that are nothing but positive. Since I will need to be getting a new DAC/AMP setup I will have to hold off on the LCD2 for...- waldoh74

New cans soon: GS1000, HE500, or LCD2
Hmmm, I do like highs. But I have read a lot of good things about them in general. I do want to get them eventually but realistically I may have to wait on them, simply due to price and space constraints. Plus I think I need get a strong amp for those maybe? I'm almost leaning more...- waldoh74

Currently looking to make a new setup for myself here soon and looking to get myself some new headphones shortly after and looking for something new to listen to. I will most likely be buying Littledot MKIII for my amp and a Littledot DAC I. I currently have some Grado 325i that I absolutely...- waldoh74

NEW - Schiit Asgard 2
I need a little advice, in the fall I will be getting a laptop and getting rid of my desktop. With that being said my current amp/dac (Asus STX) will be going with it. So I need an actual amp/dac setup and I am strongly considering the Asgaard 2 and Bifrost. I currently have a pair of Grado...- waldoh74

little dot dac_II or fiio e17+e9
Interesting. I am very confused about the technical aspect of hifi still, since I am relatively new to it all. And this helps with explaining the "why" my Grados sound better from a pmp than my sound card. But would I be able to get more volume output from the little dot/e17? I really just want...- waldoh74

little dot dac_II or fiio e17+e9
So as of now, and for a while, my source for music (flac) will be my cowon d3. It sounds good as is through my 325is, but it simply isnt loud enough for my taste, i just want a little extra "mmpff". And i am wanting to experiment with the g cush pads i bought a while back. The details are there...- waldoh74

Thanks for the heads up man. I think it will be a while before I invest into a solid pair of cans that is pushing a grand (at least a year or two). Even then its all dependant on finances anyways.- waldoh74

EG iced earth, metallica, avenged sevenfold, and prog rock like pink floyd. As of now my source is a Cowon D3...- waldoh74

Replacing Logitech G35, headphones+mic combo or headset?
I used to have the G35s until the vable was eaten by my dog. And I owned the G930 (which is on indefinite loan to my buddy). Both had 'ok' SQ in game but nothing to drool over. The only place they shined was in voip. But then i took a dive into the hifi scene and got some Audio Technicas A900...- waldoh74

So I am thinking of having some fun. I want to buy some Grado's and throw some vibro cups on them along with some of the silver ray cables from headphone lounge (headband too of course). I currently own some 325is and I adore them. What I am not sure about is whether or not I should get 60's...- waldoh74

TF10's not working properly
So today I noticed that the right driver on my TF10s is sounding VERY quiet. The left driver still sounds just fine, but the right driver is maybe 30% of the volume of the left even at max volume. Tried them with both my cell phone and my D3, same problem with both sources. I have made sure...- waldoh74

The Official Grado 325i Owners Club.
So I let my new 325is just sit and burn in over the weekend while I was out of state visiting family...oh boy, am I a happy man right now! The 2.5 days of burning in definitly did them good, although they seem to be a little harsh with the more bass heavy songs and sound like they need to...- waldoh74

Grados SR80i's vs Grados SR225i's
Quote: I've just received my first pair of Grado's on Thursday (325is) and I think that build quality is awesome. Granted the 325is are metal while the yours are plastic, but as long as you take care of your headphones there is no reason to worry about breaking them. I admit they do...- waldoh74

I do like bass, but I want it to be clear (not overbearing and muddy). I have a pair of A900s that I love to crank up, but not having heavy bass is not a deal breaker. Also, I am not looking for used. I want the new product. I was looking at the GR10/8 with envy but it simply is out of my budget...- waldoh74

Help with Cowon D3
So I just got my D3 a couple day ago and I love it so far. But one thing I am trying to figure out and haven't been able to find anything online is can the SD card integrate with the on board memory's library? It is my understanding that other Cowon PMPs can, but my D3 shows its onboard memory...- waldoh74
