I've budgeted out a Modi 2 Uber next month for my home theater system. Can't wait to buy it next month! Pending positive reviews, of course. Even though I intend to use it with speakers, I'll be sure to give it a listen on my headphone setup. This would be Stello DA100 / Modi 2U -> Sheer...

Audio-Technica US sold me two ATH-AD2000 earpads at $18.30 each + ~$10 shipping. That shipping also included another part (a metal headband piece that snapped inside the cover, I think I'm the 5th or 6th owner or thereabouts). I'm probably too late for remilio but I thought I'd post this for...

I checked with Audio-Technica and that one piece is ~$70.  Do I have a decent chance at J-B welding it or should I shell out for the proper part? I have a feeling that the first option would prevent me from ever taking the second.

After about 5 owners and many years of service, one of the headbands has snapped off of my ATH-AD2000s and left a nice scratch. Is there any hope of getting a replacement here in the US or should I try my luck with J-B Weld?   The plastic towards the inside has been partially removed in this...

I've had my AD-2000s for nearly 3 years now and they continue to amaze me. I just experienced the intro to "Tears for Fears - The Working Hour" on these again and WOW. Simply sublime. I've tried many pairs on at PeachBudz in West Des Moines and the only pair that sounded equivalently good to...

I'm happy with my Rosewill RK-9000BR. The USB connector came loose but it was trivial to resolder it. It's otherwise a solid keyboard and a good option if you can grab one cheaply. Newegg had them for $56 just last week.   It's very probably made in the same factory as the Filco Majestouch-2...

In my quick testing, "Libera" on Libera by Libera (:p) sounds much clearer to me on push. The event option blurs the vocals and makes them lose their magic. I'm genuinely surprised how significant the difference is. Paradoxically, "Yakusoku" on "CLANNAD The Movie Image Song - Yakusoku" has...

  Quote: I know they don't care, but that's hardly the point. I deleted the account because I cannot do business with PayPal in good conscience. Since they're a subsidiary of Ebay I'm debating deleting that account as well and never buying anything from there again.

I've deleted my PayPal account. I've had enough of their business practices.  PayPal is interested in taking your money and nothing else. The customer doesn't matter AT ALL to them.

  Quote:   Those have blue keyswitches though which isn't what I want. That and I don't like the font, plus the general consensus online (geekhack) is that the Filcos are much higher quality. Finally, I have a Logitech G15 sitting in the basement that I used before I got my $7 Dell...

I'm going to spend my Amazon gift cards on a Rosewill RK-9000BR mechanical keyboard. It's $40 less than the Filco Majestouch despite being a rebranded version of the same.

For me, the cable flip mod resulted in a loss of clarity in female vocals. The comply flip mod, however, resulted in a substantial SQ increase over the standard orientation for me. It seems that the foam normally blocks the sound in my ears and having the stiff tube there prevents this. These...

  Quote: I just saw this post now. I don't recall if I had a channel imbalance before I switched out the volume pot but I certainly don't have one now.

I didn't want one so I set it to a single white pixel. Huddler scaled it up to a white square.

  Quote: Go to the product page. Keep refreshing! Mine said sold out too but I got them. It took ~10 refreshes to get the price.

I very rarely drink milk, but if I do I always pick skim. I can't stand the thickness/fullness of milk with fat in it.

I'm a little late in joining this thread but I thought I'd chime in. I have the Sheer HA-006+ Plus Edition and it drives my ATH-AD2000s spectacularly well. I was lucky enough to snatch it for $180 used with a dent in the faceplate.   I haven't been visiting Head-fi lately because I'm so...

I don't own a TV but I just started watching Babylon 5 on my computer.   If I ever buy a TV it will never be hooked up to cable or satellite. That content delivery scheme is outdated IMO and it's far more costly than what I'd ever be willing to pay. I'd probably hook up an antenna for local...

Crunchy. I don't even use milk half the time.   I haven't had cereal for a few months though. At home I usually have toast or a bagel and at school they have all sorts of delicious options.

The third party that processes UPS insurance claims screwed me over as well a few years ago. FYI the "UPS Store" is actually Mail Boxes Etc. and isn't technically a direct part of UPS. I do my best to take my shipping/receiving business elsewhere.

HD-595. More comfortable than my ATH-AD2000s and they're more neutral/less artificial.

Quote: I'm pretty much a carnivore. Add in some delicious fruits, cheeses, breads and fresh brewed tea (from leaves, not bags) and I'm happy. The only sauces I really use are BBQ sauce and Sriracha.

I wont eat:   Eggs (OK if mixed with at least 50% other stuff) American pasteurized food product (sometimes erroneously called "cheese") Salad (or most green veggies for that matter) Shrimp/fish (unless in sushi or fried) Veal (on its own, good in gyros), venison, animal organs...

We are all world citizens- please don't forget those who have lost their lives in the War on Terror overseas, civilian and otherwise. I have so much more to say but I don't want to get into politics or my philosophical beliefs...

Energy C-100! I got them for ~$70 each and they sound way better than anything ever should at that price. When I pair them with my McIntosh 1500 they're vibrant and full of...well...energy  They don't quite match Dad's Energy RVS system nor do they even begin to compare with his Magnepan MMGs...
