Actually.. I'd be most curious to hear a comparison between a Technics SL1210mk5g and a really high end belt drive unit. At $500 a pop, the SL1210mk5g isn't exactly cheap. It is, however, the undisputed kind of DJ turntables. I'd LOVE to see how it stacks up - my suspicion is that it'd fare...

It's all about the technics Perhaps I merely lack the 'golden ears' of the average Audiophile, but I maintain that a new technics with a good cartridge and a proper setup will sound as good as anything out there. It also has the least wow and flutter of ANY turntable known to man, and is...

That's the one nice thing about the Koss KSC-35s. I can snag a pair of those, and can still try out those Sony earbuds just for the hell of it. I'll let you know how it works out, but I suspect it'll be a while waiting for the iPod

Has anyone here actually used the Sony MDREX70LP earphones? And please, don't crap on them if you haven't tried them. They would be perfect for use with the iPod when I'm on the go, provided they don't sound like corrugated a@@. Thanks for all the ideas BTW. Alot of the suggestions are a...

Perhaps I should clear a few things up. I'm buying a 20gb iPod, so while a portable amp WOULD probably do the trick with my SR-80s, I want something with alot more portability. so the phones would have to be well driven off of 30mw per channel. As far as what kind of sound I'm after, I...

I currently have a set of Grado SR-80s, and while they are, IMO, incredible bang for the buck, I'd like something that sounds somewhat comparable, but I need better Bass. My SR-80s sound great when I turn on Bass-Boost, but I want something that I don't NEED to fiddle with to get nice lows...
