    Grado Fan Club!

    Pretty pleased with how my PS500 turned out. And I was finally able to track down a HF-1 to replace my long-missed pair. Before, with the PS500 headband: After, with the original mahogany cups I turned Thanksgiving weekend of ‘05. I’ll keep the PS500 at home and replace my...

    SCHIIT LYR - Do the pre-outs run through the tubes?

    I use the Valhalla 2 as a pre for my Quad 9L active monitors and am very happy with the setup. It definitely sounds better than running a source directly to the speakers, as I had done in the past.

    I picked up the parts for a project when I was got a new job, but haven't used them much at all. They're like-new, and I'm listing for less than I have into them. Headphone Body - Advertised as real GS3000e housings, including cups, gimbals and headband, though I doubt that they're authentic...

    Looking to buy a Grado HF-1. One of my only audio regrets was selling #10 years back. I'd be interested in an HF-2 or PS-500 as well if the search for an HF-1 is not successful. Willing to include a like-new Denon DA-500 DAC or non-Grado GS-3000 knock-off I put together as a project as...

    Selling an old-school, classic Denon DA-500 DAC I picked up last fall for my home office. I've had a number of these over the years, and have another I use at work, and really like it. I saw this pop up while I was working on building out my office and jumped to get another... A bit...

    Grado modders go Magnum

    First post here in ages... I just finished putting together a pair of what are essentially GS3000e knock-offs. I picked up a housing on eBay that included cups, gimbals, the headband... Basically everything but the drivers and cable. They are very good quality for what they are, with only...

    Boston MA 3-6-2010 Meet Impressions

    Impressions... 1st off, I was very impressed with the room. When things were at their loudest, the room seemed to handle it well. Much better than some of the live rooms meets are often held in. The level of gear was impressive to say the least. By far the best gear I've seen at a Boston...

    Best Metal Albums of 2009?

    For me, without a doubt... Swallow the Sun - New Moon After Plague of Butterflies, I thought they may have reached their peak. I'm not sure if anything on New Moon matches the 34 minute opener of "Losing the Sunsets / Plague of Butterflies / Evael 10:00", but it is certainly right on...

    Emilie Autumn

    Her "Victoriandustrial" sound is damn entertaining that I've been enjoying off and on since '06. I had the Opheliac EP, love the full release of it. And the re-issue of Enchant is great, though totally different from Opheliac. I tracked down a number of the EPs, which tend to be more hit or...

    2009 - Your Favorite Releases So Far

    The short list so far... Neko Case - Middle Cyclone It may not have the emotional depth throughout that Fox Confessor... has, but there are some amazing tracks and nothing really misses the mark. "Polar Nettles", "Middle Cyclone", "I'm An Animal" and "The Pharaohs" are the stand-outs. The...

    HF-2
