I was experimenting with the volume levels on my source lately and I noticed a phenomenon.   I typically listen with my Gilmore Lite at around 9:30 (with most recordings), and my Fubar II USB DAC source at 100%. Today I tried turning down my source, and I noticed that the top 30% of the...

Thanks for the input guys! I guess the gist is to keep it hydrated, disinfected, and bandaged. I've done the first two, but don't have bandages/gauze handy. Quote: Originally Posted by cash68 PS: Chicks dig scars. Quote: Originally Posted by RockCity Walk...

Well.. I went skiing on saturday, and there was a sudden increase in grade that I noticed a bit too late. I flew for a few seconds before hitting the ground, and scraped my face-first in the icy snow at a very high speed. The end result: I have a few (hundred) tiny scratches on my face...

Dublo7>> Those are amazing bands! Wow.. I'd be content with pink floyd and tool in a single year lol. This year it's Boston for me. In my opinion.. Classic rock at its best.

My absolute favorite would have to be from: Don't Look Back - Boston <--sends shivers down my spine every time. Some other awesome ones I love: Funky Monks - RHCP Smells like Teen Spirit - Nirvana Dismiss the Cynics - In Flames Scars - X Japan So what are head-fi's favorite guitar...

So far I've seen two Koss PortaPros, a K181DJ, and three K26Ps on campus. Not entirely sure if the owners of these porta rigs are all head-fi members, but it's a safe bet I'm not the only one with a sick rig here. If there are more of you out there (even if it's just two more of us), we...

I sit down, close my eyes, turn off the lights, and get lost in the music. I see I'm one of the few here who actually devotes 100% attention to the music.

then wouldn't spending ~$300 on a half decent power conditioner be a better idea than spending $1k on a power cable? lol

I'm a bit of a skeptic when it comes to aftermarket power cables, but I realize a lot of people are noticing an audible difference in their system. I haven't had experience listening to aftermarket power cables, nor have I found much information that will convince me that they actually do offer...

I use thermasilk as my volumizing shampoo. I swear it has opened up the sound of my headphones, because the cups now sit more firmly on my ears. Now I wonder what something more expensive like redken volume up shampoo will do to my pads. I Might even step it up a notch, and get some of...

yes the mids do sound like they are played through cups, but the coloration isn't that strong to my ears. The thing I love most about the ES7s is that they can be played very loud, and they will still not sound harsh or offensive. They just get more detailed.

simple answer: yes. and I'm sleepy.

would you have a spare pair? lol

I just recieved the OPA2107AP. I don't know what you guys are saying by it not being a night and day difference. Immediately I notice that ALMOST ALL of the harshness that was once there is gone! For most recordings, I can turn the volume up to 12:00 on my Gilmore Lite without ringing in...
