I won't be shocked if this thread doesn't get any replies given this headphone never got much of a following here. But I use mine all the time as "beat-arounds" since they're light, comfy and sound great for the bargain price. Anyway, for the longest time, my pads have been completely worn down...

I just broke a small piece of the tip of the tube on my phono preamp (Bellari VP129 if it matters). This may be a very dumb question, but does the tip of have any structural importance? Could a cracked/damaged tube damage the amplifier? At the moment, it appears to function fine. I just would...

With the exception of those that take standard battery sizes (AA/AAA) just about every mp3 player on the market does not allow the end user to easily swap out a dead rechargable battery? Why do manufacturers do this? True, this keeps overall demand for mp3 players high because consumers will...

Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/Philips-SBC-HP46...QQcmdZViewItem I just stumbled upon these on ebay and just could not say no to that price! Apparently they are very similar to the AKG K81DJ and should serve as an excellent alternative. http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=171029...

I searched through the topics and for some reason this topic hasn't really been discussed. I was wondering how old favorites like the D-311, D-33, D-303, etc. stacked up against newer high quality PCDP's like the D-NE920 or D-NE20. Are the newer ones better or still not as good as the vintage...

You gotta be f'n kidding me. EDIT: Nevermind, there's already a topic on this.

Hey folks, I'm looking for a sub $100 dollar closed headphone for ampless situations. I really would prefer to spend no more than $70 - 80. What I want is something that gives decent mids and isolation. The closed cans I have are the HD201, which I find cold and boring, and the HD25SP and K26P...

Somebody's gotta buy these and write up a review http://cgi.ebay.com/GIANT-28-Inch-AU...QQcmdZViewItem

I'm getting that itch again. I really want to pick up some K501's and the only amp I have right now is a Gilmore Lite. I've been running some searches and I'm getting a lot of contradictory impressions of this combo. Some people love the synergy while others thought it was a horrid match. Can...

Yeah, I know, we had similar threads before. However, I think some of the early ones might have been influenced by new toy giddiness. Apparently there's a few more HF-1's that's going to be available on Monday and I want to know if it's worth selling my SR325i's to get them. I love the speed...

I finally received the Gilmore Lite from Headamp a couple days ago and noticed several cosmetic problems. There are one small scrape and a couple hairline scratches on the body. They aren't very large, but they are fairly noticable. I was just wondering if this was with most Gilmore Lites...

So far, I've narrowed my choiced down to the go-vibe, pocket amp and portaphile v2. Would the portaphile v2 significantly improve the 595's over the go-vibe or pocket amp, or would the quality jump be negligable. I read searched some threads already and there's some who say the 595's don't need...
