Source: Zune and looking at buying a Zero DAC/Amp (or something else if you recommend) playing high quality VBR mp3 or FLAC. Music: Progressive rock/metal, post-rock, ambient, trip-hop, trance, acoustic etc. been exploring a lot of new genres lately so list should expand Either open or...

My MS-1's developed a grattle or other buzzing noise and the common remedies don't seem to be fixing it. I've contacted Grado and they say they'll fix them for $30. Would this the best thing for me to do? I don't mind paying the fee too much but waiting 2 weeks + shipping makes me . Or is it...

I am currently still using onboard for my MS-1's (yeah I know ) and I'm looking to finally upgrade my source. I was going to buy a Xonar DX/D1 and maybe build a cmoy amp (if only for the actual building of it, sounds fun ) but it seems most people around here use USB DACs? Or are these only for...

I've tried gently sucking and playing them very loud for a while, neither has worked (although maybe I need to play them louder or for a longer period of time, how loud/long should I do it?). Anything else I can do? I have MS-1's, if relevant.

I've been using my MS1s with onboard sound for a while now and I think it's time for an upgrade. I'm not quite sure how much I want to spend but I'd say somewhere around $100, and I may buy used. Right now, I'm looking at M-Audio Revolution 5.1 and the Auzentech Prelude although I'm not sure I...

I'm for some new IEMs to replace my V-Moda Vibes. I only use these when I go out so they need to sound good without amplification (source is my Zune and soon an iPhone) and I listen mostly to classic rock, acoustic and some hard rock. What do you think would suit me best? Also I can go past $100...

I've had my MS-1's for a few months now and recently, in the left headphone, I've noticed a slight vibration noise that's more apparent on some songs then others.. It's really pissing me off , is there anything I can do to get rid of it?

Yarr... the wire on my vibes ripped apart again and I doubt they'd replace them again so I need some new IEMs.. Got my MS-1's already for home listening so I need something noise canceling (more then the vibes) and look nice for alternative rock, hard rock, pop rock and less importantly...

I've just got my MS-1's a little while ago (and enjoying them except for some quality issues) and I want a good source for them other then my Zune and also a stereo . I'm thinking a receiver + 2 bookshelves + sound card on a minimal budget. Can't really say how much of a minimal budget but I'd...

Well at first I was just going to get some headphones for my amp/zune but I figured I might as well buy some stuff for my computer too . I'm pretty much set on the MS-1's for my headphones and have about 300-400 for a semi-decent audio system. I'm thinking a sound card, receiver and a pair of...

I have $90 for some new headphones to use for my guitar amp, listening to my zune at home (have Vibes for portability already) and through a sound system I plan to get for my computer (nice sound card, receiver). I was going to get the HD-280s but I saw here that the sound is kind of "boring"...
