My cables finally arrived sometime during the last week of May (2010.) Thankfully my old cables are still functional, (just looking like they might break soon,) so I was still able to use my 580's. I'm just happy they finally arrived. 

Did you get your cable yet? I ordered 2 sets on 3/26/10, emailed them a couple weeks later, told they were on BO until 4/12. Still have not arrived.   I just called them today (5/11/10) and was told they are going to ship the end of this week. I hope so.

sounds like a good deal. I would run a check on Google with the model number to see if there have been any problems with that particular drive. The last 5 drives I bought were all Seagates (most from Newegg) and I've been very happy. The 5 year warranty is excellent as well. That looks like a...

Thank you for the chance and your generosity!

Sometimes I lose my mind, but I always find it when I'm looking for something else.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. If you don't upgrade your equipment you can't have any pudding, how can you have any pudding if you don't upgrade your equipment?

UM1s are VERY comfortable, sound great, and the twisted cables seem very durable. BTW, I was thinking about purchasing a pair of used UM2s on ebay and I asked the seller what condition the wires were in. According to the seller the wires were perfect except for a tiny bit of silicone torn...

My first IEMs arrived today, um1s. Wow! They sound very good and the isolation (not to mention comfort) is outstanding! I was amazed as I walked past my swamp ("evaporative") cooler that sounds like a turbo jet engine, and I kid you not, all I could hear was Elvis Costello singing, "Alison, I...

I think the grados are more comfy with the senn 414 pads. I've been using them that way for a few months now and just recently cut a quarter size hole in them. Does it sound different with the yellow pads & again different with the holes? I guess. Honestly I'm too lazy to do the listening tests...

So I'm listening to The Best of Van Morrison on CD through my old Sony Discman , Creek OBH11 and HD580s. I'm really liking the sound. Everything is so smooth! Midway through "Wild Night" I think to myself, "How will this change if I put on my SR225s?" Wow. I'm smiling big now. I read a...

Hi, I bought an OBH11 about a 8 months ago off a guy on ebay for about $125US. I use it mostly for my hd580s and 5.5 ipod 80 (or as of late-h120.) It makes a huge difference in the sound. Without it the sound is quite anemic and with it everything becomes large and lively. This is the only...

OK, if I had to choose between the hd580 and the sr225, I'd keep the Grados because they are so fun to listen with. Also, my music tastes lean more towards Rock than anything else. I love the sound of old hard rock bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix (replaced now mostly by...

Hi everyone, I really enjoy listening to all kinds of music (Van Morrison, U2, Johnny Cash, Radiohead, Bach, Coldplay, Journey, Waterdeep...) and I like to listen with my ipod 80gb 5.5 and through my Senn HD580s or SR225s. Totally different sounds (and comfort), I know, but I really like the...

How much for the um2s?

Here's a deal on a used er4p. ER4P EARPHONES NEVER TAKEN OUT OF STUDIO! - eBay (item 180268530869 end time Jul-29-08 09:15:56 PDT) I'm thinking about these but leaning more towards the um1 / um2.

A guy I bought my ipod from sent me this link after I destroyed my Senn. PX100 cable/plug: http://www.partsexpress.com.* "They are a place out of Ohio which is basically what Radio Shack could have been, if it hadn't turned to crap." "...headphone plugs...part number*092-157. Actually, you...

Very limited release called "Bella." Fantastic movie. My wife picked it out. Although she's a chick and it was a flick I wouldn't call it a chick-flick, just a very well done movie. Very clean. Great story. Artistic. Heart warming. You might cry. It's really not a chick flick because...well...

What an awesome thread! I'm listening to Pink Floyd's Final Cut right now. Nice holophonic effects. Thanks for helping me get unplugged and plugged in right (5.1 --> px100's). This is all so new for me, so I can't say there's any one song, but this album sounds great. I was surprised to read...

OK, I just did this for my px100s a couple nights ago. I dipped them in rubbing alcohol and then lit them on fire with a candle. It was fun.
