    So, I broke my Ultrasone 2500s....

    by sitting on them!! The thing snapped right underneath the hinge. I was just thinking to myself about how I needed to sell these things a week or so ago. Anyway... what do you guys recommend (besides being more careful)?? A splint and some Krazy glue? Sell 'em here to a good (read...

    What happened to Xin?

    The greatest advertisement ever (word of mouth) led me to believe Xin made the greatest amps in the world, and in searching for more information on him... I found Head-Fi.org ... Anyway... Xin just emailed me asking for updated credit card information since the one I gave him quite a bit more...

    My New Crackly/Staticy Denon D2000s

    I just received my first new pair of headphones from my newest batch this year - the D2000. It has this annoying sibilant noise I can't stand. It's on every song, even FLACs. It doesn't do it if there's nothing playing, like there's a short or something. As much as I like the unburnt in...

    External DAC that works with Linux (esp. Ubuntu)...

    I've read that most of them work, but I'd like to hear first-hand recommendations & experiences. I'll admit I haven't read too much, because last time I did that I got burnt by wasting so much time & energy waiting/promoting for Xin's Superinvisible amps. Only other brands I was partial to at...

    Ultrasone 2500 -vs- AD900 =AND= Ultrasone 750 -vs- D2000 -vs- DT880/990

    So... I'm fairly certain I'm going to buy the Ultrasone PROline 750, but I'd like to hear everybody's opinions comparing the Ultrasone Pros to the other cans in terms of sound, comfort, & durability. Most importantly, I'm trying to figure out if anybody has had a problem with their *older*...

    Anything better than Ultrasone Proline 750?

    I'm thinking about getting a pair of cans, a refurbished "older" Proline series, and am trying to figure out if there's any real difference between it and the "newer" Pro series?? Also, has anyone bought a refurbished one and had problems? $225 seems like a good deal to me. I'm guessing...

    Next step??

    Heya'll... So, I've finally decided that I must have 5 pair of headphones, and I've already got 3 (ignore my sig, it's outta date). Here's what I'm after, listing the ones I've already got: Portable, open --- KSC75 (headband or clips) Portable, closed - MDR-V6 Home, highs ------ ...

    What's the truth about the iPod line outs??

    I just happened to stumble across a 5G iPod for super cheap from a friend... but I've gotta few questions about the line out problem. What does Vinnie's $250 wortha magic actually do when I need to buy an ALO line out cable interconnect anyway? Couldn't I just do those DIY ipod connecters...

    Help me re-cable my KSC75...

    I got a soldering iron today at RatShack... Now I need to know what cable, multifilament and/or heatshrink, & connectors I should use... Soo... I guess this is what I'm finalizing on: Cable: Mogami 2799 Neglex Mini Quad Multifilament TechFlex/heatshrink: Flexo Nylon Multifilament...

    Question Which cans CAN'T play nice with the Supermicro & Supermini?

    Due to lackluster support in the amp section, I'm linking to this other thread so that I might consider changing amps/cans. I'm most interested what you guys haven't been able to push with the Supermini... http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showth...94#post3074594

    Which cans CAN'T play nice with the Supermicro & Supermini?

    I've heard that portable amps shouldn't even be used for 600ohm cans. How do cans like Denon Dx000 (25ohms), Darths (80ohms), and DT990 (600ohms) sound with Supermini in particular, but also Supermicro for curiosity's sake. If Supermicro can do it, Supermini must be able to do it. Also...

    Who'll be first to try bone induction headphones?!?!?

    I know one of you has to do it! TEAC HP-F100 Filltune HiFi Bone Conducting Headphones http://www.audiocubes.com/category/H...eadphones.html They're only $500, guys... but I might just drop my Supermini and Darth Denon ideas if they're worth it. So, buy now... audiocubes ships anywhere in...

    KSC75 sounds better if... and sounds better than..

    I LOVE the sound of the KSC75. I'm an excellent Gradossandro candidate, I know, but I'd rather get a bit more use outta these KSCs first. Its highs aren't too bright, and it's vocals are perfect. My main problem is that I find the bass just a tad muddy. I'd prefer to only do mods that...

    It's time for you guys to spend my money once again...

    Hello all, I'm itching for a new pair of cans so I'll actually have some credibility behind saying that the KSC75 is the greatest headphone ever. But seriously, tho... I'm trying to find a can that the newest Supermini's (aka: microfied Supermini) can really open up. And based on my...

    The complete list of sound terminology

    I don't have a clue as to what you guys are talking about when ya use 90% of the words that ya do. Maybe you could help me out and add more to this list!! Dynamics - Change in volume, from loud to soft. Airy - Punchy - Warm - Cold - Colored ?

    More Xin doubts...switch from supermicro to supermini???

    I'm very impressed with Skylab's review of Xin's Supermicro...but he does make a good point with the durability factor. I'm not so sure that the Supermini looks that much more durable, but it does look a bit more solid. Anyway...with the Supermini's slight gain in durability, huge gain in...

    The Everlasting Players...running on AAs or AAAs only!

    I've decided that being able to run off of AAs or AAAs is the top feature I'd want in a portable rig. I think i's sad that they stopped making the Creative Labs Muvo TX FM at 1GB...it was such a bad ass design. Another sad thing is that the Cowon G3 is the best thing available, IMO, really...and...

    Vote for my DAP!

    I'm looking for portability, longevity (replaceable batteries, pref AA or AAA), battery life, would really want 4 gigs (but I'll consider 2 gigs if the player runs on AAs or AAAs), & the best sound quality (no hiss & flac support). But I'm not sure I know how I'd like to balance all these...

    Do you know of a flash player that meets my needs?

    I need a flash player that: 1) has a user-replaceable battery (would *really prefer* AA or AAA, but the peace of mind that I can easily purchase & replace the battery is more important to me) 2) has a storage capacity of 4-12GB; TWO gigabytes is TOO small 3) can be used as a flash drive to...

    Supermicro -vs- iBasso T2 Poll

    This is for my specific situation...I'm getting my first amp but need some nudging. Here's what you need to know: I listen to rock, alternative, rap, blues, jazz, reggae, etc..not classical & country. I have a Sony MDR-V6 & a Koss KSC-75, with the intention of getting either an MS-1 or...

    Anybody here from MISSISSIPPI?!?

    I wouldn't expect to find anyone else here from MS, really...but if you live on the coast, or even up north near Starkville, I'm bound to cross your path sometime. If you don't have some awesome equipment, don't bother responding, 'cause I don't have jack -- yet -- so we'd be forced to talk...

    What do you think the best flash player is?

    I'm really looking for something that can take one or two AA or AAA batteries and have tons of battery life... like the IRiver T10. But I'd also like something like integrated usb feature (like the Muvo TX), so I could use it as a flash drive on me at all times. Or I could deal with a built-in...

    Pick your favorite amp...

    This is the "What Would You Vote as Best Amp?" Poll redone with more selections (but prolly still not enough), and a little twist - this time, sound quality is not the sole factor. Just overall favorable opinion that could range from sound quality to portability to value or looks or whatever...
