Any views on this

I have just purchased some Grado RS-1s an upgrade from 225is and at first was a little disappointed, some songs the vocals seemed distant , bass was good  and they were very bright until I switched  to flat pads which has made a big difference. I have a feeling though I am not using them to...

I have just narrrowly missed out on an auction for some grado gs1000 phones :-( as I want ot treat myself to a new pair. I have a pair of 225is but I think the cable has snapped inside as they are intermittent and have to twist the cord to get a connection in the left pad. I do love the sound of...

Well I settled on th 225is and they have arrived today , so going to burn them in overnight and give them a whirl tomorrow.

The sound I'm looking for is as if I was in the room with that guitarist , to hear every squeak on the fretboard from Steve Hackett and Jimmy Page etc. For live music it's as if i was in the front row and a massive Pink Floyd fan so want to hear Gilmour's guitar shine. So needs to belt out a...

Well the reviews I have read say there's a big difference between 125 and 225 now I'm really confused

I think I am going to plump for the 225i as they seem to have a great review and good value for price/quality ratio. Has any British people on here used these suppliers before as they seem to be the cheapest I have found Grado Also would appreciate if anyone could tell me where I canget my...

I was told there was nowhere over here they could be fixed , I'm in England. I did love the sound of the grados for an entry level sound was superb just comfort was a factor. I am seriously considering the 125 and 225s now as I love the Grado sound , If I can get the 60s fixed in England I will...

Well after I blew one of the speakers in my Grados SR60s ( not the i version) I am left without and headphones so am looking for a replacement. Are the 80s a big jump or I may even consider the sennheiser 650s which seem to be popular and they seem to be durable and able to buy replacement...

My Grado SR60 headphones have gone in the right ear , no sound at all. I think I may have possibly blown it playing my music too loud. Does anyone know the best place and a rough cost for repair or is it not worth it if it's too expensive( a new pair costs £82). I have been asked to check the...

Great stuff seems the cowon is for me , I take it you can keep the txt files tidy in folders for example u2 lyrics in in a u2 folder with album subfolders?

That's great , thanks for that , just one more question. Do txt files take up a large amount of memory so for example if I had the lyrics for every album stored on there would that severly restrict my 32 gigs?

Now that gapless seems to be possible on the S9 I am very interested as an upgrade from my Sony HD5. Just a couple of questions . 1. Can you tag lyrics to the songs so I can read them during each track , I'm not bothered about them scrolling along just want a page to come up with the full...

I've tried searching for this and have done it before but it still isn't working , so was wondering if I'm missing something obvios. For all you people using sonicstage still I am trying to combine my double albums into one , renumbering the second disc and naming both albums the same . They...

Ah I didn't realise they exsisted lol , thanks for that.

Well I've just purchase an A808 for £45 off e-bay which I think is a pretty good deal , I notice it doesn't come with a mains charger can yhou buy one? It makes it awkward to charge on holiday otherwise?

I have had the Shures for a good while now and they are excellent but looking for an upgrade possibly. What would be the next logical step , I know the 530s are lauded but 200 quid seems a lot of money for an MP£ player. I am looking to get the sony 808 if that helps .

Well I'm looking at a second hand 808 now as that seems to fulfill my needs , SS , gapless playback and being a flash drive I could use it for both normal use and running.

I'm still on the search and never realised you could buy new sony's using sonicstage still , namely the a3000 . Was this the last model to use SS and is it available in a 30G version. I will probably plump for this but want to get the las version used as I am guessing the SQ would be the best...

Just a quick one , loving my Grados with my Arcam but a little uncomfortable. Are there new pads I can buy to solve this . cheers

I'm really frustrated as my HD5 has given up the ghost and I loved it , great sound quality and more importantly GAPLESS PLAYBACK . After giving up trying to repair it ( new battery) not worked , I've decided to buy the 639 as they have a good deal here in the uk with the double memory offer at...
