    They're back - The HF-2 now available again!

    Well, all I can say is that I am glad for a second shot at these cans. I missed out the first go around because of a deployment to Iraq.   Long time member and lurker who doesn't post all that much.

    Steampunk Millett Hybrid

    AAA battery suggestion?

    Energizer Ultimate Lithium AAA is all I use for my airhead. The E2 is alkaline which is normally respectable but you should get better mileage out of any lithium battery. Rechargeables drive me up the wall.

    P-mount cartridge under $100?

    I'm itching to get back home. My wife bought me some re-pressings of "The Smiths" vinyl. My wife had previously bought me one of those Sony $100 turntables but I'm yearning for something a little more and I have an eye on a Grado cartridge. I have an old flagship Yamaha DSP-1000 amp, hook up...

    Grado help...

    I have a set of SR-60s as well. I've head em for 3 years and enjoy their sound. No issues. I'm tinkering with the idea to mod em just because. Throw a nice leather band and do something different with the bowls. I like the open bowl idea. Maybe make some deep wood bowls (an couple...

    best portable for giganta-huge heads?

    I own Senn HD600s and Gardo SR60s and don't have issues. On the flip side I've heard people express concern regarding this issue and with my experience I've never had any issues with any headphones. Have you really ever worn a set that caused issues? I say this because I do have a large...
