Well, after a few months of being satisfied with my rig, I felt the upgrade itch once again.  Curse you, Head-Fi!  I swear, this place is an addiction. :P The primary genre of music that I listen to is metal, and I absolutely love my Grado SR325is for metal.  However, I also enjoy some...

I'm looking for a USB DAC that is known to be compatible with Linux to go with my brand new Little Dot I+ amp that's on the way (and really needs to hurry up, btw!). I'll mostly be using my SR325is with this setup, although I'll probably end up using my SR225 and HD595 with it as well (if that...

I just received my new SR-325is today, and they sound so good that I've been thinking that they deserve a new amp as well! I've heard that the Little Dot I+ is highly recommended for Grados, and it won't break the bank either. I'm also contemplating getting a new DAC for it as well. With...

So, with the release of Mega Man 9 on Wii and PS3, and coming soon to 360...anybody else here get it yet? I gotta' tell ya', my favorite video game growing up (and still is to this day ) was Mega Man 2 for the NES. I loved the whole series from 1 to 6 before they started getting weird and...

Creative is selling refurbished 30GB Zen Vision:M for $100 with free shipping! Creative Labs: Products - X-Fi, Sound Blaster, MP3 Players, Speaker Systems, Web Cameras Just thought I'd let everybody know, this looks like a pretty sweet deal if you're looking for a cheap DAP.

Here's a pretty specialized problem that I'm not sure many people have attempted. It's worth a shot to ask, however. So I'm a Linux user. Currently I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 - Hardy Heron. My normal media player for music is Audacious, which is sort of a spinoff of Winamp. All that's fine and...

They're a Danish rockabilly metal band. The first song I heard by them was "The Human Instrument", and at first I wasn't sure what to think of it. By the time the song was over, I wanted to hear it again. I've checked out a little bit of their stuff on last.fm, and I must say, it's pretty...

So I decided that I need something better than my JVC Marshmallows to use while I'm at work. I work in an office, so it's not terribly noisy, but there is a decent amount of conversation happening around me. They don't have to be spectacular, but I need good isolation and at least halfway decent...

OK, so after changing my mind about fifteen times, I decided to buy a 16GB Cowon D2. I have heard, however, that the A2 has better sound quality than the D2. This is a bit of a bummer, considering I could get an A2 with nearly twice the capacity as the D2 for about the same amount of money...

OK, my current cell phone plan is about to be up and I'm looking into getting myself a new one in the next month or so. My current phone is a Motorola E815, and I'm pretty sick of it. It's had some issues, especially with charging, and I really want something new. FAST. I'm looking for...

OK, so a few months ago I got my first set of "good" headphones, my HD595's. I was immediately blown away by the sound, and soon bought my iBasso D2-Viper to drive them. Even better! I absolutely love my current setup. However... As I'm sure you can all understand, I am still being bitten...

OK, so I have been on a serious Mastodon kick recently. I have been listening to them for a couple years now, but the last month or so has seen me listening to them a lot more than usual. I was introduced to Mastodon a couple years ago by a college buddy who is a real metalhead. The first...

Just wanted to say thanks to everybody to start off. I've been lurking the boards for about a year now, and have gotten some great advice from you folks. Thanks to my research on your boards, I recently purchased a pair of Sennheiser HD595's, and they are absolutely awesome! I also own a pair of...
