Apple Lightning Dongle
This little dongle really pisses me off. I've spent way too much money in the past on amps and dacs only to find out that this little $9 marvel sounds at least AS good as anything else I've heard, and probably better. I wish I had found it sooner, but I guess I wouldn't appreciate just how...- Harry Manback

Pics of extreme audiophiles
I can't even identify most of this stuff. Is the black box on the side a flux-capacitor? Is the headphone plugged into a vape? Is vaping with Grados called Graping? So many questions...- Harry Manback

Tubes
If a record is recorded by microphone from a tube guitar amp, then distributed digitally, why would I need a tube amp to playback "that warm tube sound"? Wouldn't it be "baked in"? Does this make the argument for using tube based amps moot?- Harry Manback

Multibit DACs
Are these generally just snake oil? I have done some reading on them, but it wasn't from a critically neutral position. Thanks folks. P.S. I already know that if you sit it on one of those boxes of magic dirt that it improves plankton, speed, and PRAT and conditions the copper traces on the...- Harry Manback

Convince me that there is a better hardphone than the ...
Sennheiser HD 650. As a former Grado only guy, I decided to try an HD 600 and an HD 650. Mine eyes have been opened. I think that the 650 is as perfect as I will ever hear. Bass, mids and highs all balanced, none overpowering another. They sound like bliss. I doubt that there is anything...- Harry Manback

Grado GS2000e Discussion
Please provide impressions, photos, opinions on the new Grado GS2000e. I'm particularly interested in learning more about the new driver. Edit: I pitched an idea to Grado of providing a set for us to pass around and review here. I doubt it works out, but it would be nice to get to...- Harry Manback

IOS9 and the Camera Connection Kit (CCK)
Since upgrading my iphone 6 Plus to IOS 9, my ODAC no longer functions from a powered hub via the CCK. Anyone else run into this? If so, do you have a solution? FYI - the ODAC works great from other sources.- Harry Manback

Grado GH-1 Discussion
I'm not aware of any dedicated threads to the newly released Grado GH-1. It would be great to get some feedback from owners as to how it sounds, and how it compares to other Grado headphones.- Harry Manback

O2 on Li-Ion
My O2 sounds so much better with my PS500e headphones when I use Lithium Ion batteries in it. I'm sure it's an impedance thang. Comments? Anyone know how to modify this beiatch to charge lithium instead of old ****ty nm-hydride batteries. If you do please share. I know I can't...- Harry Manback

Grado 1/4" to 1/8" Adapter
I recently purchased the Grado adapter from amazon.com. The cable is no where near as thick as that of my PS500e. Does the version of their adapter cables that ship with the RS1e, GS1000e, and PS1000e have a thicker cable to match the cable of the headphones? It seems like a waste to not...- Harry Manback

Does anyone know what this metadata tag is referring to?
In the above Screenshot, it says: volume -4.1 dB. What does this mean? The max volume level in the song? It's not a song volume adjustment. That's on the options tab, and it's set to 'None'. Thanks!- Harry Manback

Grado e Series vs i Series Graphs
Does anyone know if the e series has been measured for comparison against the prior i series? I'm in the process of choosing between the RS1e, PS500e, and the GS1000e, and I can't audition any of them. My only option is to buy them from amazon then return them. This means a possible 4...- Harry Manback

Windows Audio Seems to "Pulse"
When I listen to audio on any windows software, it feels like the audio pulses. The effect is exaggerated if the playback sample rate is not the same as the source material. It makes me feel a bit light-headed. Anyone else experience this?- Harry Manback
