This was my first time attending any Head-Fi meets and have to say, I loved it!  Extra special thanks to everyone who put it together and the companies who traveled all the way to to SF!   Personal highlights - Everything Woo Audio makes  (haha seriously ,thank god those guys make gear) -...

A short list of some things I love.   1. Positive-Feedback.com. 2.  Your review of the Traveler.  It helped me make my decision, so thank you! 3. Hobby upgrades!   Ginko cloud and dust cover are on my wish list, maybe an HRX Center Weight too.   I really do want to thank you for your...

The Nomad got me excited to get back into Vinyl.  Ultimately, it let to a VPI Traveler purchase.  But, I still think the nomad is easier and more fun.  Also, I have a fantasy of having a Nomad and a Woo Audio WA6 on my nightstand.  Nice and simple.   I'd love to hear a review comparison...

I just downloaded the Audirvana 15 day trial.  So far, so good!  BitPerfect added a harshness in the highest end of treble.  I read a reviewer refer to it as "Digital Glare".  Also, I tweaked it a bit and it was causing some crashes with my Mac.  I don't blame BitPerfect for that, I was the one...

Man, you guys multiply my pride!   Saying things like RS1s are more "fun" then LCD-2s and T1s.  You might have just saved me a thousand bucks, cause I was considering both of those for my next purchase! haha    Too comment about some criticism with the foam ear cups vs leather or other...

haha with a knife like that, you can listen to whatever you like, sir.  Enjoy 'em!  

I completely agree with you Focker!   Many many (Many!) moons ago, when I first picked up my SR125s I wound up using them for everything.  Music, games, and movies.  All great!  I'll never forget the first time I was watching "The Others" on my laptop.  There was a scene when heavy footsteps are...

I haven't heard the "i" version of these two.  But, this was my start into headphone obsession about 12 years ago.  I wanted to hear the SR60s.  They were good.  The SR80's (at the time) sounded to harsh to me.  I left the store with SR125s and loved the heck out them!  Changed my life forever...

Quote: Oh, it's totally acceptable!  Honesty with opinions is what keeps me coming back to this forum.  Feel free to voice yours.    I too was disappointed with the updated look. But, ultimately good sound will win me over.  So, I patiently wait for some more opinions on sound.  Looks...

Sounds like you can already think for yourself.  Maybe your friends should start listening to you. You might have better taste! 

This the most fun new headphone to follow.  Can't wait to see some different reviews on the sound.    Thanks for sharing this stuff Jude!  You rock!  

Didn't the Denon models come from Foster/Fostex of Japan?  Does anyone know if that's the root cause for such a drastic change in design? Maybe Foster stopped making the basic model that Denon would embellish to create their own.    http://www.foster.co.jp/en_products/headphones/n448498.html...

I agree with peeps who like the SR325i for best value. I use them the most.  As much as I love my RS1s (which I bought first after falling for the SR125s), I don't know if they were worth double the price for a very small change in tone and soundstage. Probably why Grado revamped the entire line...

Yes, I hear the actual strings of the guitar and my pick hitting them in the room. The un-amplified guitar sound.  So, I would have to cranky up my headphones to not be distracted by that.  I love my Grados, but when I'm jamming my guitar, my go to headphones are the ATH-M50s.     I didn't...

I'll try to answer your basic question about how much better does it get.   This is a generalization that applies with both loudspeakers and headphones.  First stepping out of the cheapy zone, you get better frequency response.  Next comes detail retrieval.  Then comes the magic of...

Another good question to ask is, do you want an open or closed design?     When people say Grados sound good with guitars, they usually are referring to recorded music.  My Grados are too open for straight playing.  I do use them sometimes, but I hear too much of the strings in the room.  I...

1. Grado RS1  2. SR-325i 3. ATH-M50S 4. SR-125   What they are plugged into makes a big difference too.  <-- (captain obvious)

I got my ATH-50S as a gift for my home studio.  I was shocked how good they were for 150 bucks.  Great for /\/\ETAL!  Straight into my iPhone or laptop, I actually prefer them to my Grados in some ways.  Yes, they are slightly bass heavy, but that works to their advantage.  The slight laid back...

I own the black ones.  They rock!  Also, black is available with the straight cable.  White is only coily cable, I believe.  You sound more excited over the stylish white ones.  They probably won't get that dirty.  Go for it! 

I just stared using BitPerfect today with iTunes.  I think it's helping a little.  Kind of reminds of the time my friend bought a "magic pen" to trace on the edges of compact discs to improve the sound.  It's like I think I hear a slight improvement, but if it wasn't on, I might not notice. ...

Van Halen's first.  The 24Kt gold remastered CD that you cant buy anymore.  Then, music ADD kicks and I bounce around through everything I've ever owned.
