Thanks for the vouch. Will do.

Hello, So the subways and commuter rails in Boston are pretty noisy and for a while now I've been using these contractor ear muffs (nrr 30) over my earbuds and they do an amazing job but the earbuds are just not comfortable. I was wondering if anyone could recommend some (good & cheap)...

I find my SR80s much more comfy than my HD600s. I can wear both for hours on end, but the SR80s are so much lighter.

Boards of Canada is probably the most nostalgic-inducing, vintage-revitalizing music I have ever heard.

Hmmm.... Now I'm stuck. People are telling me that 30 ft is fine but then your answer makes sense. Guess I'll go with digital coax if I can (gotta do some more reading on the ZERO and my sources about this). Thanks for your response.

Would the ZERO be able to decode and error correct optical signals at lengths of 30 ft of BJC toslink? My Setup Sources (Toslink): PS3 HDTV cable box \/ 30ft of Blue Jeans Optical Cable \/ End: ZERO (possibly?) > HD600/SR80s If so, where can I find this "Lawrence" to purchase a...

chicken pot pie with cranberry filling.

I like cobblers better.

So the one side of my grills has begun chipping exposing the grey metal. Is the paint anything special used for further sound refinement or can I just let it chip away (or perhaps sand them down completely as I don't mind the grey colour)? Thanks.

Does anyone know of any (good) Boxer breeders in New England. I only found one in MA, and they sell them for $995~$1100. A bit steep.

yeah but I got the SR80s with the intention of running them unamped and on the move (a light move that is. Like a stroll through the park). Plus they sound god-awful with my Headsave classic with the dual AD8610 opamps, inbetween the Touch and the SR80s.

Can anyone recommend a solution (other than buying new headphones or replacing the cable) for conveniently shortening a long headphone cable? This is particularly for my SR80s when in portable use. Its quite annoying and messy when I have to dig through a mess of wires in my pocket to get to...

ok after a few days/weeks of listening, the bass has improved almost drastically. Very happy with these cans. So light... Wires are a bit annoying though.

here are some other free audio upgrades: - close your eyes. - lie upside down. - take a shower before listening (seems to improve bass)

My H140 was better in bass, but Touch's overall functionality reigns supreme.

I would imagine more blood flow to the brain resulting in a more resolutioned auditory sensory operation.

Thanks but I have this industrial leather sewing machine that I want to put to good use.

Ah thanks! Unfortunately I have no black leather, just a bit of brown deerskin and beige lamb. But not enough to spare as I use them for elbow patches on all my sweaters pretty much!

Do Grados (particularly the SR80s) use neodymium magnets?

So my SR80s came in yesterday. While they are not as full-bodied and spacial as my HD600s in sound, they still sound pretty good out of the box (though I am letting them burn-in with some Rammstein as I type - been about 10 hours thus far). And the Touch seems to drive them just fine, but...

Anyone know of a tutorial for replacing the headband material with a leather one? I have plenty of deerskin and lamb lying around.
