Can someone recommend a reliable source for replacement cushions for the now-discontinued V-Moda XS headphones? I see some foreign sources on Ebay, but I'd rather not risk a transaction without a word from a satisfied customer. Thanks in advance!

I considered that, but the cable is definitely loose where it enters the right earcup. I have secured the cable with tape there to solve the problem temporarily.

I'd appreciate some opinions on this. I have a pair of Grado SR225's that need repair (audio is cutting out in one earcup). Of course, I can send them to Brooklyn for repair (I'm in Los Angeles), but I'd like some thoughts on the sonic differences (if any) between my model and the current...

Thanks for the answer bozebuttons. Now I get the idea.  You must be a fan of the HP's; I see you have all three models. I love the sound of the HP-2's, but find their weight quite uncomfortable (must be the size and shape of my head!). Thus, my RS-2's have become my main phones.   Happy...

Sorry if this question has been asked before, but what is the difference between the Grado models HP-2 and the HP-1000? Is there a difference? When I purchased my HP-2's, there were 3 models in that line; the HP-1, 2 & 3. Was the HP-1000 model introduced later? Thanks in advance for your help!

According to Audioquest, the new versions of the DragonFly (due next month) are designed with a low-power DAC & Amp chip that can be powered directly from an iOS device. The current DragonFly (1.2?) cannot be powered from an iPhone and requires a powered hub to be connected. If you can hold out...

Here's my vinyl spinner; a Clearaudio Concept with a Sumiko Blue Point Special EVO III Cartridge. The table is isolated with 3 Boston Audio Design TuneBlocks. The sorbothane pucks support the dust cover, since the turntable is elevated by the TuneBlocks.    

I'd love to hear some opinions on the Sennhiser PX 200-II's vs. the iGrado's. I'm trying to decide between them- I'll be using them with my iPad Air (without an external amp) primarily with my synth and music creation apps while away from my home studio. Although I'm a big fan of the Grado...

I'm not detecting any distortion, although I haven't done a direct A-B comparison. Before I got the Niles, I manuallly switched the cables from my CD player and TT into the Asgard. If I do a comparison and I do hear that the switchbox is degrading the signal path, I'll buy the Goldpoint or go...

Here are two possibilites, at two different price points. Both are input switch boxes, but don't forget to factor in that you'll need an interconnect to connect the switch box to your headphone amp. I'm currently using the Niles, but I may at some point upgrade to the Goldpoint.    ...

I'm also using the MHD with my Grado RS-2's. How much of an improvement does the better power supply make? My MHD is stock, and I'm thinking about sending it to McCormack (SMc Audio) to be modded. If anyone out there has had their MHD upgraded by SMc Audio, please post with your impressions.

Has anyone A/B'd the CanAmp and the Central Station? I'd like to upgrade the amp for my Grado RS-2's. I'm currently using a stock MacCormack Micro Headphone Drive. Can I assume that both the above amps would be a significant upgrade from my MHD? Opinions and comments please!
