    Free shipping coupon for KOSS website?

    I ordered a pair of KSC-35s from www.koss.com, but I'd rather not pay $6.00 for shipping unless I have to. I talked to a customer service rep. and she told me that they don't have any such offers at the moment. I did try using an old coupon code (418) just in case, but it was expired as I...

    Running problem: lower body fatigue

    Any running enthusiasts/gurus out there? I'm trying to get back to running on the treadmill. Nothing major, just some aerobic exercise after I lift weights...enough to improve my cv fitness and primarily burn fat off my gut. I've been back at it a few weeks, running at a very slow/modest...

    Borrowing a pair of CD3000s?

    Is there anyone (preferrably in the NY/NJ area) with a pair of CD3000s that he isn't using heavily at the time? They're at the top of my list for new headphones which I don't need. I'd love to hear what they sound like without actually buying them yet (wouldn't we all?). I don't have much in...

    Liking this song: "Your body is a wonderland" by John Mayer

    Heard this song here and there, but never paid attention, wasn't even sure what the man was singing. But now that I've listened to it more carefully, I like it more and more. Anyone else listen and like?

    Question re: bad ebay transaction

    I recently bought a cd off ebay. This once, I forgot to ask whether or not the CD is explicit/unedited. It was stated that it's a promo CD, and I didn't have a problem with that. Are promotional CDs usually edited for content? Is this something I should have known? A lot of (good) sellers...

    In-home audition of c541i, NS500V, and NS755V

    I picked these 3 up the other day, just to listen to them. So far, I've heard only the NS500V and c541i, trying to do some crude comparison. It's a sketchy process at best, and I'm not sure that the other equipment I've got is even up to resolving the differences between sources. The only...

    Questions on the Arcam CD72

    The CD72 plays CD-R/CD-RW discs fine, right? And, in the opinions of those who have heard it, how is its bass response? Tight and punchy? Deep? Is the sound generally forward, or more laid-back...smooth...detailed...etc? I did a quick search and found a little bit of information, just...

    Best CDP at the really low end...

    ...of the price spectrum. DCM-370. SCD-CE775. DVP-NS500V. Anyone have opinions as to which of these is better than the others? Anything I didn't mention which is just as good as any of these, or better, for $200 or less? Any comparisons welcome. thank you

    DT 770 - A bass question

    I've had the DT 770s for some time now, but haven't listened to them much, or said anything about what I think of them, because I was waiting for my meta42 to come and then give a proper listen. However, I am curious about what happens to the bass at higher volumes. I'm using them straight...

    Best Right-Angled Mini to Mini?

    I have a Meta42 (AD8620) on the way. My primary PCDPs are an SL-SW860 and a D-25s. I've got a pair of DT770s and a pair of MDR-7506s. I want good bass with a full, rich sound. I'll need a mini to mini cable to go from my pcdp to the meta42. It should be rather short (3 feet will suffice...

    Got some spare cash?

    I saw this mentioned on AudiogoN. Looks like a steal! Do not miss out on this deal. Time is quite short, so don't delay!.

    Finding An Inexpensive Amp

    It has come time for me to purchase a headphone amp. Here are some considerations: 1)Portable (can fit in a shirt or pants pocket without trouble). 2)Respectable battery life running at higher volumes (20+ hours). 3)Excellent bass (visceral, tight, clean, detailed, blah, blah...)...

    Wholesale prices?

    I'm curious to know how much large retailers like Circuit City or Best Buy pay for some of their best-selling items. Specifically, something like an ipod. If 5gb/10gb/20gb models go for 300/400/500 bucks retail, how much does a large chain store pay for them? Or if there's a larger distributor...

    iPod questions

    I just got a 10gb iPod for 299.99 + tax, thinking it was a good deal. But, I forgot to double-check at the store and came home with a MAC version (even though I asked someone at the store whether or not it was a PC-compatible version, and the idiot told me yes). So here are my questions...

    Cheap Digital Camera

    Even though digicams have been discussed here before, I didn't notice any threads that recommended less expensive cameras in the recent past. Looking to spend around 100 dollars, let's say 120 at the most including shipping. I know that's quite cheap, and the quality products at that price...

    The Best Page In The Universe

    Here's a website I was directed to by someone on IRC. I found it rather hilarious at times, and at least amusing at others. If you bother to load the site, you'll realize that sometimes I'm easily amused. It's a perfect example of something you'll either love or hate (or more likely, not give a...

    USPS for shipping

    Does anyone have an opinion on using the US Postal Service for shipping packages? Have you had any bad experiences which would make UPS, FedEx, etc...a better option? If you have opinions on these other carriers as well, feel free to share. thanks

    Yes/Progressive Thread

    Just in case there are a few Yesmen out there, I'll start a thread for discussing the band Yes in particular, or progressive rock bands/music in general. Might as well keep it as general as possible, so that more people feel like participating. So what are your favorite songs/albums? Again...

    Auditioning Headphones...

    Does anyone in the NY/NJ area know of good places to audition a wide variety of quality headphones. I've had a hard time finding stores that carry any good products. There are two stores I'm planning to check out in the area, but one only has the SR-60/80/125 (useful for me to listen to, but...

    Headphone Advice

    Note: this post has been completely changed around, so take a second look. I have a somewhat clearer idea of what I want, and so request opinions based on the information I'm about to provide. This question, in different forms, has been asked before, but I'd like to put this out there with...
