    "Hannibal" on NBC

    This is actually my favorite show on TV. It's clever, a bit gore-ey so it satisfied mah manparts, and most of all it features the bad guy from Casino Royale.   My other shows ATM are:   Suits Mad Men Breaking Bad Walking Dead (I also equally hate it) Sons of Anarchy (I only watch it...

    Denon D7100's: Do I want a pair?

    Can anybody who has these give me their impressions on them when compared to other headphones within a similar or even lower price bracket?   I'm really confused because I haven't really heard too much on these from my friends on the forum and I KIIIINDA like the way they look.   Thanks! :D

    My right LCD-2 driver went dead

    I know I have to send it in, but does anybody have experience with Audeze's customer support? I have the Bay Area meet I need to attend this weekend and I also have a Mjolnir + Gungnir stack coming this week. This seriously could have not happened at a worse time. If anybody has any experiences...

    Schiit Mjolnir, Burson HA-160D, or Violectric V100

    Scootermafia keeps nagging me to buy a new amp, so which one of the superhype LCD-2 amps is it going to be?   Thanks in advance pals.

    How Do I Buy a Modded X-Can

    I know the guys from RockGrotto build 'em and specifically that PinkFloyd guy. After dicking around with too many amps I decided that one was my favorite of the bunch.   I haven't had one in a while and I bought mine from another member but I would like the honor of it being built for me.

    What is past the Jh13?

    I'm running Jh13's out of an RSA Predator.   What is there to do past this?   Honestly, don't tell the full-size headphone guys, they sound better than my LCD-2 rig and I don't have to be all that picky about what dac/amp I choose. The Predator is just overkill and it has a nice case...

    D7000 vs LCD-2 R1?

           (I barely like them over the RS2, and by barely, I just put them on the other day and had to tell myself I didn't like them a little better for the sake of my credibility)   This is what my head looks like.  ;)    Ok I'm just going to say it, I'm bored of the neutrality that the...

    What to get after LCD-2.1?

    Ugh I know there has to be something MORE. Lately I've joked around the with the idea of being a closet bass-head, which is a scary thought but I remember owning DT-770 for a while and there is a reason i don't mention it in my profile because it was that poor for me..   Is there more?  ...

    Possible San Jose meet

    Who wants to kick it? I live off 280 and Saratoga. I'll bring my stuff over to your place, I'm a college student who still lives at home with embarassing family members, even if you still live at home we'll still be better off lol.   I feel that I have a lot to offer and perhaps I can even...

    Hifiman HE-5LE Impressions

      So I have a lot of people who always ask me what stuff to use, I always answer HD-600 because they're an almost failproof answer but underneath, I've always been a Grado fan. They're constructed questionably, cheap to repair therefore cheap to build, comfort takes about 6 years (how long...

    Educate me on the Grado SR325

    I've always thought these were the prettiest headphones.. I haven't heard them I just know that they're "more" Grado the more you spend heading up to the RS-1... but what is the consensus on these?   I've always disregarded this model due to the bad voodoo but I've recommended it whenever it...

    Is it bad that I might want to quit headphones for Etymotic ER4?

    I might just quit this whole headphone thing altogether and get Etymotic ER4's.... has anybody else gone down this path?   It's not that I prefer headphones or IEM's, I just borrowed a pair this weekend and I could honestly just retire with a pair of modded Grados and some ER4's, it was very...

    Anybody else have a "dead zone" with Neutrik plugs?

    I've noticed on rare occasion you'll get this very small area if you rotate the plug around, that you'll get this "dead zone" where the music will either completely cut out or play at a very faded volume.   Anybody else have this issue? This is like the third time it's happened and I even...

    So just how good is the ER-4?

    I own the ER-6, I haven't used it in about a week, I play all my music through Grados for 6+ hours a day (at respectable volumes) and I just put my ER-6's on and I was able to hear "The Gargoyle" by Paul Gilbert honestly a little better since the bass is a little drier and I don't get that...

    What's all this buzz with the M50's?

    Are they really that good for everything? I've read so many posts about them these past few weeks that I think curiousity is about to get the better of me.   How will it compare to an HD580, SR-225, and K240?   I will say though, at least they look damn awesome!!!

    Yo Yo Ma "Bach Cello Suites" album

    If you ever wanted WARMTH through your headphones, this is quite an album to experience. The first song off this album through any of my cans from the silvered HD580's, to the forward treble Grados sound so warm. You can literally feel the resonation of sound in the cello bodies in your head...

    Etymotic ER6/ER6i owners

    Dude. These things rock. They play everything well just like an accurate neutral earphone would. If this is close to the ER4, I wouldn't mind splurging for those in due time.   Not as good of a midrange as the Shure E3C's I had, but those had really bad rolled off treble and the fit without...

    Building XLR balanced cables for HD580

    I'm considering a balanced cable for myself because I'm considering making the dive to balanced drive since I'm in the market for a desktop amp. I'd need to know this to convert all my grados too   It would go:   Modded X-fi optical out>Little Dot Mk7 Balanced> 2x 3-pin XLR (WHERE DO THE...

    Anybody who says Grado's don't have enough bass is silly!

    I just bought a pair of SR-60's for recabling in the silver I use for my UE cables... and before I even gut these, I'm listening to "Human After All" by Daft Punk from my modded X-fi [Op-amps and black gate cap] and jesus, these things have great bass impact!   This is before I even so much...

    UE/Logitech customer service

    So my Super.Fi 5 Pro's, the old ones pre-logitech died in my sleep when my fat head snapped the jack off of the shell and there was no solution in sight, so I gave them a call, they basically told me they can't fix it, send me a new pair regardless of if my warranty was valid or not (wasn't...

    Ultimate Ears warranty going to help me out? Or am I crap out of luck?

    So in the middle of the night one of my UE SF 5 Pro's snapped and broke off at the cable connection point. I woke up to a wire dangling out that came from the inside of one of the armatures... there isn't any physical damage though, it just looks like it broke off from the inside... Will they...

    Did I get an awesome deal or what?

    So on ebay you can get the formerly 250 dollar Super.Fi.5 Pro's for 130 bucks. Anything else gonna beat it for the price? This is moving from Super.Fi.3 Studios. Not really looking for detail, more like musicality which the bass from the SF5 does very well for me without being bloated. I...

    Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 3 cable problems

    So I haven't posted for a while, because I pretty much had the best of everything for my ears, until tonight. The cable on my SF3's have been coming off for about 3 months. As you can imagine the repetitive insertion of them and the movement has eroded the mating surface of the cable a tiny...

    Running HD580 with X-Fi

    Whats going to sound better with the current source+ higher bitrate MP3s? Im considering doing a trade for a pair of 595's or 555's with cash. Im just curious because i forgot what the 555s sounded like. Im probably not going back to Grado because of how frail they are. Ive had these since...

    Gilmore Lite with X-Fi a bad idea?

    Mating the two of these to a pair of HD580's. Can some people just give an honest opinion of whether or not i should pursue a really good home amp, or just go for the leckerton UHA-3? I've learned to appreciate music and not the vessel that i listen to it through more recently. My C&C Box+ is...
