    Grado PS500 question

    Has anyone ever seen round thing where the cables join on the PS500? I've never seen anything like it, and was puzzled. It terminates in what sure looks like an original Grado plug (with the word "GRADO" on it etc.) and the cable feels like the familiar original Grado cable. \

    ER4p...iPhone case?

    So, the ER4p jack is a pretty hefty beast. My iPhone case apparently occludes too much of the space around the headphone in. ER4 users, what case do you suggest for an iPhone 5s?

    ESW10JPN replacement head cushion?

    Hey,   I see that a few people on eBay are selling replacement headband cushions for ESW9 and ESW10JPN. Anyone have experience with them? Or is there an official replacement part? I can't find one on the AT website. Thanks.

    Recommendations for portable amps for mobile phone: interference/static noise and shielding

    Hi,   I'm in the market for a portable amp, but one of the things I've found annoying about them is the fact that wifi/3G/4G causes annoying static noises if they're not shielded properly, etc. So, I'd like to know of you positive experiences with slim, very portable amps that don't have this...

    Watches - another passion of ours, it seems...post your pics!

      This is interesting. I think I tend to believe that there's a sweet spot that'll appeal to the interested layperson looking beyond a beginner unit. So, when someone asks for headphones recommendations, I tend to go for Grado SR60/80 (< $100) or a used Sennheiser HD25 (< $150). [The Grado...

    Audiofly AF120 v. AF78?

    Has anyone tried *both*? The price difference is small, but I was wondering if there's any reason to save just a few dollars and go for the AF78.

    Watches - another passion of ours, it seems...post your pics!

    Thanks for the tips so far. I guess if a Parker 51 is a great under-$100 deal, then I'd say a good budget watch deal would be under $1000? (Or, better yet, under $500).

    Watches - another passion of ours, it seems...post your pics!

    I knew there'd be a Watch-Fi... OK, so I thought to myself this morning: I wonder what the Parker 51 of vintage watches would be? That is, what's a good, easy-to-find, budget vintage watch that is just generally awesome and practical. Any thoughts?

    What happens when one plugs computer speakers into the headphone port of an integrated amp?

    Someone asked me this the other day, and I had no idea. I don't suppose the built-in amp in the speakers get by-passed, so is there just redundancy? Will the speakers get over-powered and, thus, wrecked in some way?

    Has anyone here ever seen or heard of an HD25 cable with an inline mic? Is this possible?

    Just moved to the UK. Who does re-cabling here?

    I'm going to bump this.   Surely someone in the UK or EU offers a recabling service that isn't  £240 at AmpCity.

    I've been gone for a while; catch me up on DAC/amp setups for an iPhone in the office?

    Alas, the camera connexion kit trick didn't work. Insufficient power. <sadface>.
