Hi all, I'm thinking of selling my HF-1's and have no idea what a fair price is. I've seen prices from the mid three's to the five's and want to be realistic for both the buyer and me the seller. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. They're in perfect shape, box of course,  and rarely used...

I think in the right listening environment (read nice and quiet listening room) the better cabling can offer a slightly better audible effect. But if you're in that environment why not plug into some nice home equipment. Most ipods and portables are listened too out in the real world. I think...

I understand the...'don't come back with Ipod Rules menatlity' but I got to tell you I recently got a 60g video and that thing is very good. It doesn't sound anything at all like my old Ipod. Matter of fact I'm upgrading my little CMoy amp just because it really doesn't make an effective...

Working in product development all my life I have learned that my personality and tastes are generally 180 degrees of that of the 'American Consumer'. Sometimes I will get all jazzed on a cool project only to find that when ran past a sounding board they don't get it. I think the same is true...

Yeah, I just went back to the site, I didn't see the sr-71 before. What type of amp are these, Pimeta, PPA? I'm having a hard time comparing apples to apples because they seldom list exactly what type of architecure they utilize. It could very well be its just me too, I'm a complete newbie that...

I would like to check out the sr-71 amp, who makes it? Its tuff not being able to hear each one side by side. Thanks for all your responses.

I can live without the 1/4" input, I guess it would be hard to package in a small portable package. So will an amp without adjustable gain be able to drive a multitude of headphone impedences. At $350 I would expect a good amp but not expecting a miracle. I just want to be able to use my...

I'm starting to narrow down my choices for a portable headphone amp. My budget is $350. The Hornet looks like a nice amp but so does the AE-1. Any comments on these amps would be greatly appreciated. Below is a list of what I'm looking for in an amp, maybe you could suggest others. Portable...

Thanks for the link, Ity's funny I had printed info off that site through various links in forum posts but never made it to the home page where many of my questions are now answered!

I just got an ipod and I'm looking for an amp so I can run my Grado's and Senns and get some sort of audible pleasure. I've been looking at maybe getting a couple of diffrent amps, one for traveling (read inexpensive penguin tin) and one that is more for the office and an occasional stroll...

Mulletman shouldn't feel guilty. Just so you all know, I'm probably one of the newest members to the board and I was the one to buy the HF-1's. So I'm happy to say while I'm new to the board I'm an old time audiophie and now a Head-fi'r too. I promise to baby them as much as anyone else on the...

As much as I try to fight it, sounds like IEM's are the hands down favorite. I think I will try the Er-4's. What's street price on a set?

I checked out the QC2's and they didn't do it for me. They remind me of the lowered Cutlass Supreme you can here rolling up on you from 2 blocks away... all thump and rattles and nothing else.

Thanks guys, any more recommendations for non IEM's. Earpieces have always bugged me. I had a set of ear plugs custom made for me back in the days when I ran sound for live events and even though they fit great I was always really concious of them. They probably saved my hearing but I might as...

I have a business trip to china (15 hour flight) in a few weeks and was in need of some advise as to what pair of headphones would be best for my Mp3 player. I'm new to your site and it has been so inspirational I bought a pair of Grado HF-1's off ebay yesterday.. While I can't wait to get them...
