    Attention DIY'ers....got a question...

    Okay hear me out, I am not a good DIYer, or should I say I really have not tried any modding, or amp building, etc. I had a thought though and curious to any thoughts, ideas about this. I have an older Awia shelf system that I had been using at work to spin some CDs, and run my Ipod...

    Holy cow, Australians have to put up with these kinds of spiders?!

    Grado SR80i vs Audio Technica ATH ES7

    Grado SR80i vs Audio Technica ATH ES7

    I plug my Ipod into an amp/receiver if I am going to listen to it using my Grados, or AT's. If I am going to use my Ipod un-amped I will use my KSC-75's or PX 100s, Marshmellows. This is just my opinion, and maybe because I do use my old school receiver / amps, but to me my SR-80s, ES7's, My...

    JVC "flats" HA S150 BN headphones, another low end price review.

    Oh my I guess I need to let them burn in some. I picked up a pair of flats many many months ago at a Biglots for 10 bucks to give to my 10 year old since he is still pretty rough on his stuff. All the praise I am seeing here IMO is horse puckey to what I experienced listening to these...
