    Need a budget cdp for home setup

    I'm looking at building a small/simple/inexpensive home setup and was wondering what my options were. I was thinking about going with a DVD player, but I have not heard too many. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I really wouldn't like to spend more than $100-$200 on the source for...

    Need an amp for home setup

    I've been out of the loop for a while now and was considering building a small, simple, and fairly inexpensive home setup. The headphones I will be using will primarily be my SR-60s and occaisoinally my HD570's or HD280pro's. Who knows, I might consider getting a new set of cans for use with...

    Gaming/Music headphones!

    Indeed, all the headphones you listed require and amp. If you aren't going to spring for an amp, might I recommend the HD280pros for gaming. They are quite nice.

    Velour pads + Washing Machine = ?

    I don't think I will need the dryer. I technically won't need these dirty pads for a good two years or so, so needless to say I can give them some time to dry. Tommorrow I'll give them a shot with the woollite.

    Velour pads + Washing Machine = ?

    I'm wondering if it's safe to wash my old and nasty HD570 velour pads. Call me cheap, but I really don't feel like spending $25 every two years just cause of how hot it gets during the summer. And if you can't throw them in the washing machine, is there another alternative or am I going to have...

    Looking for good headphones for computer use

    From what I've heard the 125's are pretty good, but the 225's are the de facto for metal cans (again, from what I've heard). In my personal experience, however, if it's isolating cans you're looking for, I would go with the Sennheiser HD280pro's. They clamp a bit on the tight side, but over...

    Sennheiser or Grado (for this taste)?

    Of the artists you listed it sounds like the HD650 might be more to your liking. However you also said that you like every other type of music except for rap. I have never personally heard the HD650s however I do know that the Grado line is rather versetile when it comes to different genres.

    The GRADO SR-60 Impressions Thread

    I know this thread is old and all but, I just got my iPod and all I have to say is, I won't be buying any more audio equipment for quite some time now. iPod + SR60 = pure heaven

    Need suggestions: iPod vs. iRiver HDD players

    Well I went to Best Buy today and took the plunge on the iPod 20GB. Preliminary tests have shown that I will not be dissapointed with it. It sounds good with the Grados on a few songs that I've tried and I'm really enjoying what I hear so far. I'm going to just let it finish charging overnight...

    Need suggestions: iPod vs. iRiver HDD players

    Ok, so I'm in the market for a new mp3 player and was originally just going to get an iPod, but my Dad being in constant disagreement with me is suggesting that I get the iRiver H10. I pretty much have my mind made up, but I thought I would ask some of the more knowledgable users on this forum...
