hi, if youre trying to create the kind of doughnut foamies that come with the yuins, try this. the moment i wore out the foamies that came with the yuins, i had to find a way to make some. i tried hole punchers but i could not get a clean and perfect cut. but the following method did. take...

if youre going to get an amp later on - get the sr 80 (provided you like what it does) - it would be worth it - its tolerable for use unamped - it needs a lot more 'juice' to reveal its strenghts - other than that, its a question of personal taste - the sr60 can be a little murky (to my ears at...

iron dreamer, thanks very much cheers

no replies - you guys cant be serious someone must have done this surely?

hi, im contemplating diy'ing a cable for this- problem is i dont quite know what cable to use - any suggestions would be appreciated. i would have done a search just that it doesnt work at this time. thanks m

nah i dont think so. i think imho i have a pretty decent set speaker set up - nothing stratosphereically high end but decent enough and i enjoy it very much but i enjoy listening through my headphones a lot more simply because it draws me into the music and the music reveals more of itself than...

take them out first thing in the morning, look at them long and hard and put them back in their respective cases. wife thinks im mad. psssst......wife doesnt know this but sometimes i put them on without music playing, just to have some quiet time to myself without the wife yakking away.... i...

senn hd 600 - for jazz and classical grado sr 80 - for electronic jazz, rock, pop and basically when i get tired of the warmth of the hd 600 and want some adrenaline akg k271s - when i want something thats a compromise between the senn and the grado with isolation koss ksc 35 - it dont matter...

Quote: Originally posted by Iron_Dreamer I don't see why not, the K271 sounded great from the Melos Maestrobator. k, thanks.

apologies for hijacking this thread - would tubes and 271 complement each other. im planning to get a 271 and use them with my diy morgan jones. cheers.

try a lint remover - comes in a roll with sticky tape that you peel off when it no longer sticky - 3m has one. look here http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/e...er/output_html its pretty cheap - i get it where i am for about 1.50 or so. look for the smallest size as that is suitable - smaller...

Yet another proof that the high-end of audio resolution is on headphones, NOT speakers. very true indeed. i cant hear gould 'other' bits of music on my spendors as clearly as i can on my senns and grados.

hi jazz has a point - if you listen to gould's goldberg variations, youd think your headphones had gone to heaven, ie, *kaput* - there are all kinds of sounds on it thats not 100% part of the music. does it happen when you listen to other cds? check this out before you get invasive with the...

Quote: Originally posted by Sovkiller Well if you like guitar based jazz nothing like "THE MAN", Allan Holdsworth, this guy is incredible..... sovkiller, thanks for the tip - i checked out his bio at allmusicguide.com - sadly i have not heard of him until now - i will have to get...

pat metheny is excellent - imho all except for 'zero tolerance for silence' are worth acquiring. if you like guitar based jazztronica - try out john scofield - a go go, uberjam, bump, and the latest- up all night - all excellent jam sessions

weather report - live and unreleased is a must listen mahavishnu orchestra - the lost trident sessions is also a worthy addition to your collection. cheers

nicholas payton - sonic trance - unusual but interesting jazztronica

agreed, keep the sr80s and get the hd 600s. i have both and no regrets. i listen to the grados if the music calls for it - and i switch to the senns for jazz and classical - but i am not averse to using the senns for rock too - they are slightly laid back - warm woujld be more accurate whereas...

what only 5?? heh heh 1. bobby previte - bump 2. nicholas payton - sonic trance 3. joe satriani - not of this earth (my first satriani cd so recommendations appreciated as to what next to get) 4. cassandra wilson - glamoured 5. steve coleman - def trance beat 6. clark terry intimate...

i have the grado sr80s - these came with the bowl pads and no matter how much i tried to like them, i just couldnt - they hurt my ears and i couldnt go on for more than 15/20 minutes - i tried squishing them - put a load of about 30kgs on them - got them real soft and squishy - no joy - theres...

i used to have the same 'tap tap' microphonics for the same reason in my grado sr 80s (btw love the phone - listening to them more than my hd600s) anyway, i have not read the response to your concerns so apologies if my methodology has been tried and found not to work - it works for me and i...

hi gopher, i have been using the statmat for 3 years now, beginning with the original statmat I, followed by the statmat II. i was bowled over after the initial scepticism - i dont play a cd without the statmat. i would concur with your findings. it s a wonderful and cost effective tweak and all...
