    post your grado mods....

    Memory foam IS the giant killer of modding materials.   I should get some to experiment.

    Grado Fan Club!

      Having read what it's done to your Grados... I should give memory foam a try, apart from how comfortable it is.

    Can Samsung TV drive ATH-M50 ?

    I have the UN32F5000 (which seems to be the same as the UE32F5000) and the headphone out jack is a line out, fixed, quite low in volume. You need to connect that to an amplifier, then it'll be useful as a headphone out.

    My PX100 Mods + Brief Review

      I can confirm that. I took my PX80s (original PX100 in disguise, just cheaper) apart and put these little big drivers in my takstar HI2050s. These are really nice cans for some donor drivers after some modding (removing some plastic and opening them up creating something similar to how a...

    Quote:   You need a parametric EQ in order to be able to properly EQ these headphones, or any headphone when you try to kill specific peaks.. See, your EQ probably has a 2 khz setting, or a 8 khz setting, which are perfectly fine for taking care of the 2100 hz and 7100 hz peak, but what...

    Good to hear, too!   There's another peak, in the lower treble, at about 2100 hz. It makes voices (and some instruments) sound "raw" and "grainy", for a lack of a better description. Killing it makes the sound more natural. I like it better that way. I advise you to listen and see how you...

    Good to hear! I'll try to look for and kill other peaks after I've given my ears some time to rest. Listening to pink noise and pure tones is quite tiring... Both these 7.1 khz and 11 khz peaks are quite nasty, with both gone it truly shows what these takstars are capable of! I have to recable...

    Quote:   Follow this guide   http://www.head-fi.org/a/how-to-equalize-your-headphones-a-tutorial     I've found peaks at 4.4 khz, and the most important one at 6.5 khz. While you're at it kill the 7-8khz peak that happens because of the headphone-ear interaction.. take them out...

    I've just got the 2050s, and I'm 7 hours in already, plus one or two movies. Amazing! Playing some sine sweeps through them I've found they have a particularly nasty peak at about 6500 hz. That peak colors the sound in a bad way.. voices are particularly affected. There's also a subtler one at...

    Jie Extreme Player 2.7.2 released

    No I don't. Anyway, I was able to get all back to defaults with a tool called "VisualBCD", it's funny since entering the bcdedit commands on an elevated console did nothing. Most of the other changed settings include disabling debugging modes and the like, which weren't on... I don't think that...

    Jie Extreme Player 2.7.2 released

    Please provide a .bat file to revert all the changes on the system made by jepcfg.bat. Invasive changes, since I can't get DEP back on issuing the command on an administrator console, among other things.  Thank you.

    The JVC HA-S500 thread.

    Quote:   Nah, I love the HTF600s drivers in the HD668b/SR850 housing, it's a beautiful headphone that way... But I'd like to try something new. It may be an upgrade, it may be not.. I'll have to try the JVCs when I can get my hands on them.     I'll keep on reading the reviews.

    The JVC HA-S500 thread.

    If these ever set foot on where I live... I'll definitely get a pair. All these reviews have.. opened my appetite.

    Crack in Superlux HD-668B band?

    I find it strange that such a thing happened with normal use... I mean, you didn't over-flex these rods, right? Then yeah, it's kind of lame...
