Hi everyone ! The connection on the left side of my Grado SR100 is cutting off if I don't hold the cable so I'm basically looking for someone in Canada who can just resolder the wire, keeping the same cable. I can supply you a small amount to cover the time spent and for the shipping back...

Hi guys ! I had a few ideas inspired mainly by EFN's/drp's rigs. It goes like this : 1. Get a refurbished 1st gen black Ipod Nano 4GB 2. Get it modded by Vinnie at RWA 3. Buy a naked Xin Supermicro 4. Ask Brad at RAL to do the wiring directly from the Nano's dac with the Black Gates...

Hi fellow head-fiers! I just bought myself a pair of Joe Grado SR-200 so I'm wondering if the Melos SHA-1 would be a good match with them. Any sub-$600 amp that can have a better synergy? What I would want is razor tight bass, great soundstage depth, moving dynamics, HF extension, neutrality...
