    Let me pick your brain on the Sim Audio 280d DAC

    Anyways, as the title suggests wondering what the general consensus of the Sim Audio 280d is, if any. I realize its an "entry" level unit but besides reading overly stellar (schillistic style) reviews all over the place I was looking for the real goods on the unit.   Has anyone heard it? ...

    Rolex or Breitling

    Considering a Rolex Sea Dweller or a Breitlng Super Avenger. Obviously two different styles of watch. Breitling with its hugeness and bling factor, or Rolex with its history and unchanged design in over 40 years. Give me your opinions please.

    Had the chance to audition the GS-1000. And....

    Man....Spectacular. Plugged into a simple Denon out. Unreal soundstage that puts the RS-2 to shame (hate to say it). I was expecting the worst, considering all the GS bashing here at head-fi. I was really pleasently surprised with the warm, rich sound emonating from this instrument. I failed to...

    The RS-2 return

    A couple of weeks ago I chimed in yelling to the world that I just received my new RS-2s,the sound was wonderful,everything seemed great. Fast forward two days later when I notice a fair size gouge in the inner ridge of one of the cups.( not to mention a nastily crimped cable). I thought...

    New soundcard or amp...give me your opinion

    As the title of the thread suggests.Using a pair of Grados directly from my pc(ampless),via a sound balster live card. Would I be better off upgrading my sound card or better to go for an amp? If you could only pick one route (upgrade),which would it be?.Where do you think I would notice more...

    Grado RS-2 #1010 just picked up

    Warm,inviting,smooth.....best way to describe them right out of the box with only 4 hours use. Comparing them to my SR-80 is blasphemous.Bass is fantastic,rich,mids are tame,seperation delightful.This can could handle any genre wonderfully. Just had to share.

    Newbie with a (I think I know the answer) question

    Hi guys,Im the proud new owner of some SR-80s,listening to ITunes radio alot.Ive noticed that when listening to lower than 128kb stations (ie 56kb) receiving a staticy sound.Paranoid about the Grado rattle issue I guess.This static would be normal considering the lousy source(I hope).Any input...
