    ++ FULL-SIZE HEADPHONE RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD++ CLOSED: Please post a thread in the Introductions, Help and Advice forum

    Dear Head-Fi,   I've been a very happy owner of a pair of Grado SR-80's for a few years now. I have a pair of K702's for home use, but i find myself prefering the Grado's since i've grown so accustom to using them - commutes, a trip to the supermarket, walks around town - the SR-80's are my...

    Grado SR-80 Repair Help Needed (Looking for EU DIYer too).

    I'm calling the local distributor informing how much a repair would cost... if the price is too high, i might just go diy... i'm just hesitant about that because i'm afraid i'd ruin them and i've come to love my SR-80's

    Grado SR-80 Repair Help Needed (Looking for EU DIYer too).

    It's out of warranty. I've tried seperating the plastic, but it seems its glued together and it feels like i'll break it before i can get it open. Seems like there's nothing else to do than getting in touch with the local distributor and see how much a repair costs, this isn't the only thing...

    Grado SR-80 Repair Help Needed (Looking for EU DIYer too).

    I have a couple P3+ Heron / General OpAmp rolling noob questions.

    Thanks for the help Ron, i still have a lot of questions, but i'll just keep reading the forums. Do i just place the empty Dummy Adapter in the socket, or could i also fit another opamp on top of it for added effect?

    I have a couple P3+ Heron / General OpAmp rolling noob questions.

    Today i've received my P3+, and although i understand the basics of opamp rolling, reading these forums and the lack of an extensive manual with the P3 has left me somewhat mystified... When i say i understand the basics of rolling, i mean _basics_ - the part where i stick these small chips...

    AKG K702 Build your own cable...

    Thanks for the help Boomy. I'm going to put in an order for a W2893 based cable tomorrow and I'll post my impressions in here if they're useful enough to add. Chris @ Redco has been very helpful as well, was quick in responding to my questions.

    AKG K702 Build your own cable...

    I'd consider going down to a slimmer cable like Mogami W2893 or the Canare L-4E5C, but what i gather from the replies here, much better results are achieved with the regular 6 mm versions of those, the W2543 and L-4E6S. Chris from Redco told me there's no sonic difference between the W2893...
