It looks like the add-on "the tracktor" for firefox (also available for chrome/safari).   oops, uli2000 beat me to it

Quote: I had no problems returning a pair of v-moda m80's about a month ago.   Took about three days to get my refund (two of which were shipping).  Did you buy through a third party on amazon?  If that's the case you might have to see what that individual seller's policy is.

Creative Aurvana Live! down to $70.67 at amazon ( from amazon) or 69.99  via creative.  Not quite the $55 from a few weeks ago, but first price drop I've seen in a little bit.

Quote:     Sorry to hear that.  I'll be getting my cups back from him any day now, and have nothing but good things to say about my experience.  Very prompt about returning emails, and he even saved $15 on shipping for my magnums (he was ordering some from Rhydon at the same time , so...

Big Brother loves us!

First, I want to thank you (thelostMidrange) for your contributions.  I'm definately fascinated by your findings.  It never would have occured to me that the finish on the wood would contribute so much to the sound, and I definately look forward to further insights.    I was also wondering...

Limba is a type of wood that is starting to be used whem making wood cups for grados.  A user who goes by the tag thelostMidrange has experimented making many, many cups using different wood types, variations in cup shape and finishes.  Limba is his preferred choice (l forget why exactly, but...

Quote: Can you post a review of the magnums in limba please?  I haven't found any reviews other than thelostMIDrange, and am considering a second pair. Thanks   

I really like the creative aurvana live. amazon sells them for $55-60 frequently (they're currently 100).   Unfortunately, I haven't heard any of the other ones on your list so I can't compare, but I really enjoy them for rock, and they have a decent amount of bass, and might go well with your...

Just to double check, (thelostMidrange), you prefer honduran mahogany over other types, correct?  I believe this is what Ohrenholz uses

Quote: jr.com often sells it for less than 250.  You have to call in and see what their "best offer" currently is.  It might depend on the customer service rep, but they offered it to me for 200  (this was around black friday and they were back ordered though).    

I also suggest the Creative Aurvana Live.  They regularly go on sale at amazon for  $55.  I'm not  sure how they compare co the Crossfade LP, but I's say they have a decent amount of bass.  

While I can't really speak about the others, I don't think the Grados are conducive to quiet environments.  They leak in too much ( for me at least) and leak out way too much.  One post that I read (don't remember where) described them as mini speakers, and I agree with that description.  From...

When I auditioned them, I preferred the Hd-25's much more.  They just had a very "fun" sound that I enjoyed.  Ultimately I decided to return them as I felt the mids were a little too recessed for me.  Definetely check out the link that kagelou posted.  The pros/cons that are listed for each...

I don't think you'll be unhappy.  I did enjoy the hd-25's very much and found them to have a "fun" sound.  My main probelem was that the mids seemed a little bit recessed for me which for my musical tastes was a deal breaker     Again, it might be that I'm just too used to the Grado sound.
