    Decisions...

    Hey to all who might remember me, and to whoever I remember. I'm going to school right now for audio recording, and so audio is once again taking over my life. I've been taking a break from really caring about anything hi-fi for a while, but now I can't resist. So, here's the deal: Fairly...

    Just ordered a Slappa Camel 240...

    I gave in. I cracked, and I ordered a 240 disc Slappa CD case, in that gorgeous Camel color. It's going to be a pain to have to make little paper slips with the names of every burned CD I own, but it will be worth it. Not to mention the fact that in a pinch, I could expand it's capacity to 480...

    Slappa D2 Pocket Pictures?

    Just curious, would anyone be willing to take some close-up pictures of Slappa's D2 CD pockets? I'm thinking about buying one of the 240 disc models, but I don't think I will if they're constructed in such a way that would obscure CDs behind others, if you know what I mean. I won't be putting...

    OK, this is not cool...

    Just today, as I was putting in my E2s, I heard a small, faint cracking noise in the left earphone. When I got home and looked at it under a light, I noticed a little tiny bit of whitened plastic at the very top, where the cable exits the earphone. Then though, I notice that the left rear...

    E2 Initial Impressions:

    In a few words, I like ‘em. Coming out of the Total Bithead that I have on loan from Headroom, one of the first things I noticed was how easily they pick up any noise and hiss. This isn’t good, since I have a very noisy sound card, and it seems that the audio coming from my USB port also has...

    Motown 2532 speakers...

    I picked up a pair of these + stands at a yardsale for a couple dollars. The price written on them was $250, but since it was nearing the end of the day, they said "$10 for whatever you can carry." I know that $250 is a rip for these, mainly since in one of them, there's a physically broken...

    AOpen Tube PC Motherboard

    AOpen's new tube-based motherboard. Seems interesting, if nothing else. I wonder how it sounds. EDIT: Here's some more info, since some links on that page seem to be broken. EDIT 2: And here is a positive review by someone who seems to know what they're talking about. EDIT 3:

    Tempur Pedic Grado Pads...

    As a few of you may remember, I posted in here a while ago wondering how to go about making Grado pads out of a free block of Tempur-Pedic foam. Yesterday, I worked out how to do it, went out and bought some suitable blades, and went to work. This will obviously also work for essentially any...

    E3 vs. E2 + Source

    Alright. I've decided that I need some new canalphones ASAP, and hence will not be waiting around for E5s. This leaves another question though: Should I blow what I've got ($140) on E3s, or should I buy E2s and a Chaintech AV-710? Right now I've got a Soundblaster AudioPCI OEM (model 5805), and...

    So Torn....

    Ok, here's the deal: I have $140. Should I go for instant gratification and buy some E2s / pre-owned E3s, or should I wait a while until I've built the savings to go all the way for the E5? Or should I forget about canalphones altogether, and get a full size portable with good isolation...

    Cutting foam...

    ...Tempur-Pedic to be exact. A while ago, I modified my Grado comfies by putting a 1.5 inch hole in the center, to try to make quasi-flats. I screwed that up though, and now the hole looks somewhat ratty, and I'm pretty sure they could be more comfortable. So, I decided to make my own...

    Opeth, 2/28/04

    Yesterday night, I went with a couple of friends of mine to see Opeth, Devil Driver, and Moonspell live, at the Worscester Palladium. Now, a good while before this particular show, I had listened to Blackwater Park a bit, decided it was a pretty good CD, if not really my thing, and relegated it...

    Grado cable swap...

    I've been in an exploratory mood with my Grados recently, modding their physical traits to be more comfortable, look better, and sometimes even make some audible improvements. I've done almost all I can in that regard, so I was thinking about what else I could do to improve them. I hear...

    Headroom Bithead?

    Long story short, it's everything I need. Now I know that the amp part is the same as the Airhead/Total Airhead, but I'm curious as to how the USB part sounds. My current setup is pretty asinine, and my sound card is to blame. No matter what amp I use in conjunction with it, I still get a...

    Problem with my NAD

    I happened to come upon an old NAD 7130 reciever today. Long since past prime, I quickly hooked it up just to see how it sounds. I used my pc as a source, and a fairly crappy 1/8-to-3.5 RCA to connect it to the "CD" input on the amp. I used my Grados as the testing devices. What came out was...

    STAX SR-001 MK2?

    These phones have piqued my interest as of late, since they seem to be a decent candidate for my next set of cans. I figure that they aren't that expensive, they're electrostatic (and that's just cool!), and they're small. I know I've been running my mouth off about larger, more isolatiing...

    PC sound card, which is best?

    Now, I know this question doesn't really pertain to amps proper, but nonetheless; What do you guys think is the best PC sound card out there? I know there aren't really any "high-end" per se cards out there, (that I know of anyway, please correct me if I'm wrong,) but I still need something...

    Panasonic SL-CT710?

    Audiocubes.com claims it's the "Industry's first built-in digital amplifier in portable CD Player". That sounds a little off to me, anyone heard anything about this player? It's a Japanese model, but from what I gather audiocubes will ship japanese products to the U.S. Here's the page.
