If I upgrade from D1000 to D2000, what improvements should I expect? I like the 1000s. My only criticisms are that the mids are a little recessed on occasion and the bass is big but can be a tad sloppy. Will these conditions improve in the 2000s? Must I have an amp for the 2000s? Thanks as...

I have recently been sucked into the wallet-depletion vortex we laughingly call head-fi. I decided to buy a range of mid-level phones to see which I liked. I bought Goldring DR150s, Senn 595s, Grado SR80s and Denon AD1000s (also marshmallows and ksc70s but that is a different matter....) The...

I am moving to a new house. The water pressure is fine, but not terrific. I also will be on a septic tank system, so I have good reason to restrict water. I love a good shower. Any suggestions for a good low-flow shower head experience? Up until now it has been a case of simply removing...

I am going to buy replacements for the foam on my marshmallows. This is my first trip into replacement foams. First, What do you guys recommend to replace the foams on Marshmallows? Second, What size should I get? They seal pretty well with the stock foams, but I suspect I could go size...

Fairly new to Head-fi. I have recently bought 6 new sets of phones with an idea to pick one or two to keep and sell the rest on the FS forum. Folks here seem to suggest that I upgrade the source audio on the computer before I make the phone decision. From reading this forum, I would have...

I saw these vintage Denons for sale on ebay. Anyone know anything about them? The seller claims they are AH-9 Denons from 1985. Here is a link to the auction.. DENON AH-9 STEREO HEADPHONES...EXCELLENT SOUND, SHAPE - eBay (item 110221651350 end time Feb-11-08 14:44:42 PST) The seller...

At work, I sometimes get a pretty decent static shock from my headphones. It seems to travel from the metal driver assembly straight to the good old external auditory meatus (ear)... Anyone else get shocks from their phones? Just as a point of reference, I get shocked using the Sony V600s...

Well, I made it. I now have my Head-fi 30 day chip. I joined on Dec. 4th and I feel like I have made great progress over the last month. I stumbled in here looking for advice on replacing my 20 dollar portable headphones with something similar. After a few weeks of compulsive board...

After joining a scant few weeks ago and reading about 5000 posts since then in search of sage headphone advice, I have narrowed my choices down to 2: Grado SR80 and Equation RP21. I could go either way on this. I think my wife would benefit from the isolation of the RP21s, but I might like...

OK. I show up here a couple of weeks ago, almost by accident (if anything in this world is an accident). I was looking to replace some Sennheiser PMX60s that had gone on the fritz. A week later and I am considering all sorts of headphone choices way above the budget I had been considering...

Not really what you thought... What is your sex and marital status

I thought it would be interesting to sample various demographic info of Head-fiers. This question regards age cohort. Links to other demographics: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f11/mo...rriage-273653/

I am painfully new to the head-fi world. I am headed off to the nearest hi-fi shop and I was wondering what to bring. I suppose a couple of cds of music I know and love. No way I will come off as an audiophile when I arrive, but any suggestions of what to listen for, or anything to bring...

Hello everyone. A couple of weeks ago, my jogging headphones failed. I really like them. You will probably laugh, they were Sennheiser PMX-60s, but they served me well in all weathers these last several years. I decided to look around a bit to see what was available on the net regarding...
