"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...- Chris_Himself

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- Chris_Himself

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.

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.- Chris_Himself

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...- Chris_Himself

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...- Chris_Himself

Ugh I know there has to be something MORE.

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...- Chris_Himself

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?

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.

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!!!- Chris_Himself

Yo Yo Ma "Bach Cello Suites" album
If you ever wanted WARMTH through your headphones, this is quite an album to experience.

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.
