After a few months of changing out various Grado headphones in search of an upgrade from my SR225 (RS1 buttonless, HF1, RS2 vintage, RS1 vintage), I think I'm just gonna keep the SR225 (with TTVJ flats), sell the RS1 and call it a day. Does anybody else prefer the SR225 over the RS1?  

I've ordered a fair amount of gear over the past week in an effort to finalize my headphone system I've been toying with for the past few months. It's nothing fancy, but I figure maybe a few people might want to come over and give things a listen?   DACs: NuForce uDAC-2 HRT Music...

It seems that if you're willing to spend around ~$700-900, the MAD Ear+ gets the vote almost every time. But what about less than $500, and preferably less than $400? What amp, preferably tube-based, synergizes well with the Grado RS1 headphones?   ---   On a sidenote, I'm finally...

I'm looking for some advice, typical of a Head-Fi member, no? I just set-up a new LCD TV and the internal speakers are ... not great. I'm looking for bookshelf speakers (+amp) to be used as replacements for better sound when necessary (DVDs, music for casual listening). Here's the thing: the...

I'm looking for some recommendations, some help from this great community to guide me in the right direction. In short, I am searching for a new amplifier (and new dock/cable) that will match well with Grado SR225s sourced by an iPod Classic. On to some details. My current set-ups are: Home...

I really wasn't sure what forum this should go into, headphones or amps ... but since I'm in amps much more often and since it's specific to the SMv3, I thought it should belong here. If I'm wrong, please move it! So ... I have iPod --> SiK Ram Din --> SuperMacro v3 --> Etymotic ER4P's. This...

After stopping by the recent Dallas meet, it has occurred to me that I'm missing that true feeling of involvement when listening to music through headphones. Ugh, it's really about the music for me, but why oh why did I decide to rid of my system? So ... I'm planning on replacing what I had...

Okay, so I haven't been the best member and haven't been reading that many posts lately (work+school=not much free time), BUT, what happened to the Dallas meets? I'm sure there are people around with some nice stuff (ufortunately, I don't have anything anymore, except for an iPod, some V6's, and...

Well, I haven't been here in a while, mainly because I've been happy with my equipment. I still am, but I'm wondering if I could get some more quality time with my music than I currently do. I currently have a MG Head OTL setup with some nice tubes, and a pair of stock Sennheiser HD-600's...

I posted on the Asylum too, but maybe some of you can help as well! Okay, so I just picked up the Michaura m55's off of a uBid auction but don't have any kind of amplification. I've been doing some research on this board and others and am not sure where to go on this issue. I'll have two...

Anybody heard of these guys [Brainkiller]? Two guys: Brian Allen (trombone) and Jacob Koller (piano). I heard them play a couple months ago and this is definitely some cool stuff! They play at mostly small clubs/bars I believe. When I heard them, Koller was playing on a Fender Rhodes with some...

Got my order in from triodeelectronics today. I'm in a quest for some good current production tubes for the MG Head. Anyway, here is what I ordered: Tesla/JJ Electronic EL84 matched pair (as a backup) Sovtek 5751 Electro Harmonix 12AX7-EH Philips/Sylvania ECG 12AX7WA (7025) Seems...

I found this quite humorous... maybe it should be posted in the Headroom forums, but it's kind of a general thing and will get more views here. If you go to Headroom's site (www.headphone.com) then go to Stuff For Sale -> Headphones On Sale Look at the Koss UR30 - "Like above with the...

you ever have musical orgasms? at least that's what i call them... when you just get chills all over your body while listening to something... mmm heh.. okay.

Just received an ASL MG Head OTL from a fellow Head-Fi'er today but there seems to be a bit of a problem. There wasn't a problem before shipment and the amp was packaged and secured very well. I'm getting a loud hum/buzzing sound from both channels. It also sounds as if the sound is not...

Why is it that, on the Creek, when I connect the interconnects to both the input AND output jacks I get a signal? Also, I can use either one as an output as well. Should it work like this?

You know... I just feel like saying that this is one great CD. It has two concerts on it (only ommitting one song from the first) with the same band, and they just go. The first one is recorded in stereo, the second one is recorded in mono. IMO, the mono recording is better, but, doesn't...

Wow... for any of you jazz lovers out there that haven't already checked this out, go get it... now I had listened to some of Chick Corea's stuff in the past and had never really liked it before this cd - now I'm going to have to go searching for more like this. It's cool to just sit back...

My system will consist of an AMC CD8B and a pair of Grado 125's and Senn 580's, and I'm not sure about interconnects just yet. I've been heavily considering the OBH11 but the MG Head DT is looking really good. I'm really fond of the idea of being able to change the tubes to tweak your sound -...
