Great review! Pulled out my 10-year-old pair of A900 and decided to see if there were any comparison reviews online with the A900x. Was sad to see the A900x for $300 online (My A900 were $200 back in the day). Sounds like they don't necessarily sound 50% better, from your review, and I highly...

Since I'm still in college, I guess this thread applies to me! I just picked up a pair of Paradigm Mini Monitors I got on eBay for ~$200 last semester and a T-amp powering them from my laptop (Echo Indigo IO soundcard). They sound beautiful and all, but I kind of want more low-end. I want...

I'm really, really upset that the right ear of my ex81's died the second day after i got them from ecost! now i have to ship them to sony to get them replaced...

Okay, so one last question. My t-amp is coming in the mail, but I don't have a power supply for it. What should the specs be (e.g., 12V 1000mA, 12V 1500 mA, etc.)?

Thanks!

I haven't heard a modded HD280, but I've listened to a friend's standard HD280 for a while and didn't really like it. I thought they had an "empty" sound (I was listening to Grados back then), and just didn't have much of a lower range. Thad made the highs fatiguing when I tried turning up the...

Actually I have another question now (since I know almost nothing about speakers and this is a great place to learn). Why do the sensitivity of speakers increase as they get bigger? I was just looking at Paradigm's different speaker specifications. If so, why can't something that drives a...

I'm going to be having a single in a college dorm next year. I'd say it'll be about 10' x 15'. I plan on placing/standing them in some fashion near my computer desk, so i'll basically be half a meter from them (don't need that ear-shattering volume, thank you very much). I listen to...

sweet! i'll look up the teac. yeah, i was bidding on different bookshelves on ebay and actually ended up with a pair of paradigm mini monitors v.1. however, i'm still concerned with the t-amp not being able to power them well. i'm completely new to speakers, i've been a headphone (read: grado...

i've been listening to headphones this whole time but want something nice to fill the room up with sound. so i found a deal on a pair of paradigm titans for $120 at a local audio store. if the sonic t-amp were enough to amp these, i think that'd be a great value system! is the t-amp enough...

through the last decade of listening to the pumpkins i'd just say that their volume levels are always too low (i have to turn up the volume only when a pumpkins song comes up on the playlist), and they EQ up the low-end way too much. i just don't think you can compare them to today's production...

is it possible that this mod is a matter of taste? i ask only because i invested in a pair of flats for my grado 225's and found that i preferred the bowls. i'm interested in trying this mod but it doesn't sound too reversible. i got a pair of a900's a month or two ago and am still letting...

225's!

head-fi has guided me towards my two very informed purchases, the grado sr-225 and the audio-technica a900. as i really can't afford a worthwhile amp, these two cans will offer me great sound in noisy/quiet environments. i'll also need to pick up a cheap pair of earbuds for my ipod (i lost...

ryuichi sakamoto's "chasm" is full of great white noise tracks. catchy stuff, that white noise.
