    Grado Bushmills X - Grado's first closed-back headphone?

    Thanks for that. Just ordered L and G spares to test drive with the Bushmills!

    Grado Bushmills X - Grado's first closed-back headphone?

    FWIW, I ordered on the Wed the 4th, received ship confirmation on Fri the 6th, and received packaged on Mon the 9th. Unfortunately, I'm still 500 miles away. Can't wait to open that package this evening though!

    Grado Bushmills X - Grado's first closed-back headphone?

    One more tip for those who may order a pair in the future: search the interwebs for TTL coupons. They usually max out at only 10% but that's still a nice chunk of change given the retail price. I found a code from September 2013 that still worked.  There is a current code, STRONGFINISH, which...

    Grado Bushmills X - Grado's first closed-back headphone?

    I chatted with someone at TTL before ordering. They had stock ready for initial round of orders and expected another wave or two of stock in the near future. Beyond that, they will be made to order until the barrel stock is depleted. Did not ask if the barrel stock would be replenished.

    Grado Bushmills X - Grado's first closed-back headphone?

    Ugh. My pair arrived yesterday. Too bad I'm 500 miles away... Can't wait to get home on Thursday!

    Michael Phelps 2012 Olympics 4x100 Freestyle Relay headphones

    If they are the same pairs he wore at the US Trials, they probably Sol Republic.

    Questions from my wallet...

    Don't think it was psychological - I heard a bit of a tick and the darkness disappeared and things opened up nicely!  Still a bit bass heavy but the rest of the music just seemed to blossom after that tick.   I was thinking about modding them but again, I'm all thumbs when it comes to things...

    Questions from my wallet...

    Hey guys - I've lurked around these parts for a few years but started to follow things in earnest this spring. Since then, I've picked up a pair of Yamaha HP-3's, a pair of AKG Sextetts, and just last week a pair of Koss ESP9's with E9 energizer - all paired with my recently rehabbed HK 730...

    Anyone know of any great Harp music?

    On the Jazz side, check out Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane. Plenty of hip-hop artists have sampled Ashby's work in their own.

    Post your favorite cover versions of 'Eight Miles High'

    I second the Husker Du version. Not sure if this counts since Roger McGuinn sits in with them, but Crowded House released an EP 20+ years ago with three Byrds covers including Eight Miles High.   http://www.amazon.com/I-Feel-Possessed-Crowded-House/dp/B00000DDX6

    St. Louis Mini-Meet (March 9th)

    Picked up a pair of Koss electrostatics over the weekend in case that motivates folks for a meet up. :) Anyone in St. Louis sell STAX? I need an extension cable.

    Koss ESP-9 electrostats, worth it?

    Would be interested in what you find. I picked up a pair of ESP9's with the E9 energizer this weekend. No power cord for the E9 but they sound pretty good connected to my Harman Kardon 730's speaker taps. Will be ordering pads and searching for a power cord ASAP.

    They're stock. I don't have the skills or gumption to tear into them.
