    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Rattle is not a favourite nor a hated one, just indifferent (to me, YMMV), but the price is right, and what the hell, just to support not just physical media... also SACD! :D :heart:it. Just ordered! The musicians will get more from one doing so than from thousands of streams...

    Grado Fan Club!

    It is hard... on one hand yes, and given as I have been theorizing, your (our) own hearing plays a big factor on all this. To ME, the sr80x and previous models were the harshest thing on earth... while other people sang their praises. In my mind, if the F cushions tamed the sr80x, then the...

    Grado Fan Club!

    Like I mentioned before - finally being willing to swap pads AND discovering the F Pads ( or cushions? what is the preferred one, pads or cushions? ) saved my relationship with Grado. You may laugh at me, but I have been cycling thru many recordings, listening to just bits. Why? Because I am...

    Grado Fan Club!

    Just to clarify - I was talking about the Geekria Comfort Pads which are the ones Geekria has that are the closest to the Grado F Pads. That said, I am updating this because today I got the actual Grado F Pads I ordered. Immediately installed. Well, amazing. Better than the Geekria comfort -...

    Grado Fan Club!

    Thanks for that post - gives me an entry for my follow up - tried a different type of Geekrias - the ones that kind of look like Grado's L Cushions... and definitely a degradation - wen't back to the ones I bought first, open, no cup shape. So, it is a combination of factors IMHO - Closeness to...

    Grado Fan Club!

    Ok - here I am one more time, singing the same song... but with a new verse... :D Have posted in the past that the sr325x are the first Grados that I liked... mentioned that everything I tried below those in the Prestige line, just could not get into them... I am still here because, I happened...

    Grado Fan Club!

    Ok - so first post in this thread. A bit of a journey here - with just one (both fortunately and unfortunately) happy stop. Many years ago, I heard of Grado's reputation and of course, decided to try. It was a strange experience... Started with the SR80e. As usual, I started with some chamber...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Once I was given a link, where someone used a really expensive audiophile USB cable to connect a printer to a computer. The site was hilarious - guy waxed poetic in the funniest of ways about how the printouts were the best ever - really funny. I really wish I had bookmarked the link, I cannot...

    Asgard w/ Hifiman Sundaras not much louder than..

    Use high gain mode - look for the switch in the front [Edit - I forgot the Asgard 3 has the high gain switch in the front - I do apologize ] - move it to the up position. That's the most likely reason. Also, yes, make sure your mac volume is set to all the way up. hammers
