I think I will keep my PX100s. From what I've been reading on here, MANY have said that Sennheiser's in particular need a lot of break-in time. So, I admit it might not have been fair to judge them so.... harshly! Well, at least I'm giving them a chance to prove themselves! Perhaps some...

Thanks for your input. These PX100s probably have the aluminum voice coils, considering what they sound like. Anyway, I'm very happy with my portable cans. Now it's time to find a worthy amplifier

To me anyway. The PX100s just sound too bright and annoying. I gets so bad that sometimes I'd like to snatch them off my ears! I appreciate the precision and balance of this can, and the lesser but tigher bass, but the upper-mid to high frequencies sound ear-piercing. OUCH! The KSC75s sound...

I'd take seriously boosted bass anyday. Bass is where the fun lives!

I usually change the date on my camera whenever I change batteries, but this time I forgot!!! It keeps resetting itself... Yes, agreed that the KSC75s are big-sounding. I am still impressed with them even after having them for nearly a week. They're just plain fun! TigerDirect has the...

Was reading somewhere on these forums that posting a retailer's price is not proper etiquette. I can understand this if the retailer decides to change his price, then they won't get potentially angry purchasers calling them that the price has gone up. So not posting prices avoides reseller's...

First off, thanks Jay for being such a super host and offering chips to munch on! loser101- I very MUCH enjoyed your setup. The HF-1s are God-sends, they sound that good! These were my favourite cans of the meet by FAR. BTW, thanks for allowing me to connect my KSC75s.... they allowed me to...

Just to let people without rides know, I'm going to the meet driving. So... there are 4 spaces for passengers (and/or equipment), and an empty trunk (the car's a '96 Honda Civic EX). Just give me $5 for gas, and I'll be happy! I live around the Dufferin and Finch area. The only thing is...

Got them KSC75s yesterday night. UNBELIEVABLE investment! For only $20.49 they sound better than my Portas -warmer sound, better upper-end, and naturally balanced. The hats seem to glow with precision in percussion sessions. Can't begin to calculate the price-to-performance ratio... this...

Philodux! I'm still interested in going to the meet. Had to be a game-time decision, as I was unsure whether I would be travelling to my native Ecuador, but plans have changed considerably! I'll have to look for a ride. Hopefully there's still some room in a poor head-fiers car PM your...

Just a quick update. Today I talked with Bill and they have FINALLY arrived! So go get one already! Cheers.

I talked with someone over at SDC (not Bill) around Wednesday and he said that the KSC75s were still not in Looks like this one's gonna be a long-hauler Sorry guys for not posting an update sooner, I've just moved this past week (it was very hectic) and have not decided to install the...

I had my damaged Portas in this past March.... took about 5 weeks to get 'em back... new unit. Lower quality. Anyway, yes, just send in the $6US to cover shipping and you'll soon get either your repaired unit or a replacement.

So I went and did myself a favour! I ordered a PA2V2 to go with me little portable setup. A very good intro to the world of amped heaphones. Everyone says how an amp "tightens up the bass" and "cleans up the highs". Well, I'll see for myself how much this is true! It's a true bargain for...

Just to let everyone know, there another update (!). Bill says he's expecting the KSC75s to arrive earlier than expected! They should be in for sometime next week (like 3-4 days from now.... good if ya wanna go on vacation for Christmas with 'em). Cheers!

Really liked the SR60. I would say it's a nice intro to the Grado sound, but $109 CDN vs. $59.88 (powermax.com) is a somewhat HUGE difference in price. Sometimes I envy Americans for their ability to buy cheap! Duncan- I would love to buy it now, but having no cash means I'll have to pick it...

"Home of the Audiophile", just across the street from Canadian Tire (Steeles and Yonge area, Toronto), has a excellent inventory of quality products. I went in to audition the Grado SR60s and was treated very courteously. Although I had listened to them before, it was just in passing and had not...

Man, I keep hearing about recabled 'phones! It sure seems like they make a marked improvement in the sound dynamics department. What grips me with fear is just imagining me taking an xacto and cutting the stock wires away from the drivers (in my case I have a PortaPro).... then what the hell...

Nice Dremel job Kramer! Wish I had one so I could mod my Portas. Ever since I got these replacements for the damaged ones I sent in, I was never quite happy with it's sound. Some info: The 'older' one had a gold-plated plug, and the joint at the 'y' was a dual-oval design. These 'newer' ones...

Thanks for the invite Philodux! Right now I would not be able to give a definitive, since I'm moving (!) and arranging for a trip out for Christmas. I'll try to let you know about a week before the meet so I give myself plenty of time to arrange for transportation (fingers crossed )...
