HD280 Pro v. MDR-7506 re: longterm comfort and earpad heat
I know most of us even here aren't the types to regularly wear gigantic circumaural 'phones outside for long stretches, I thought this would probably be the best place to ask. After a long time doing video editing as an amateur and budding professional, I've decided to branch out into...- Meyvn

re: iPhone 4/3Gs headphones
Hey gang. Does anyone know if there are any headphones with the iPhone 3Gs/4 built-in mic/clicker/volume control doodad that are cheap enough to cannibalize? I just got an iPhone 4, and I discovered sadly that the cable on the included 'buds isn't long enough to be useful. I've searched high...- Meyvn

KSC35/SportaPro/etc users: which clips do you prefer?
I've been using the SportaPro drivers with KSC75 earclips and am pretty happy with the comfort factor; the clips get a little uncomfortable sometimes after very prolonged wearing sessions, but never to the point that briefly taking them off won't fix, and certainly never to the point of pain...- Meyvn

Is there a French scholar/native speaker in the house?
It just randomly occurred to me as I was thinking about Latin and the debate between the English 'qu' pronunciation and the French/Spanish one, and which Latin used. I figured it was more like the French/Spanish one, but then it occurred to me, 'but in English we just figure we've already got...- Meyvn

How to recognize a Zener diode?
I have a very slight hiss in the left channel of my Aleph 3, and Pass said to replace a zener diode in the left channel. I've found the output board, but I unfortunately don't know how to recognize a zener diode amongst the others. Anyone care to explain the difference in appearance?- Meyvn

Best preamp or preamp/headamp bang for the buck!
Well, I heard a Rega Apollo yesterday and I'm pretty much sold on it. That means, unfortunately, that since my Zhaolu WAS my preamp, I'll also have to be getting a separate preamp to power the Aleph 3. So, anyone know about preamps, or know a headamp that does a great job at it, too? My price...- Meyvn

Zhaolu the same as my freaking CD changer? What is going on?
All right, so I posted this in my source upgrade thread, but that one wasn't really focused around the Zhaolu originally, so I think this warrants a separate thread to hear from fellow Zhaolu owners. I've recently hooked up my Sony 400 disc mega changer through both its analog outputs and its...- Meyvn

Source upgrade possibilities.
So it's come to my attention that for one reason or another, I'm not totally satisfied with my source situation. I don't know if it's simple upgradeitis, some sinister hole in my pocket telling me to blow my money, or what, but I've been looking into all kinds of upgrade paths, all CD-centric...- Meyvn

Danny Elfman's Serenada Schizophrana
His first orchestral work, and in a well-advertised SACD Hybrid. Shame it isn't in the standard SACD case, but I'll live. Really enjoying it thus far; it's a bit too disorganized to be a symphony or "cantata." I think it certainly shows that classical music composition is not dead, though, and... -
Toshiba HD-XA1
Anyone heard this with DVD-A or Redbook? I've been considering checking it out since it got rave reviews over at some forum the guy selling one of these linked to. No one on here seems to have mentoined it, though, other than him. Anyone else heard it?- Meyvn

---- a four letter word.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always...- Meyvn

Blacked out K1000: finally, a good looking mod. (56k warning!)
So I took my K1000 grilles down to a local powder coating shop the other day, and got them done in black. I LOVED the results; they were a bit of a pain to put back on because of the slight increase in size, and the fact that the grilles are a bit tougher now (less malleable), but it was SO...- Meyvn

Work in Progress: BIG Southeast/Georgia meet.
Okay, so I've been itching to have a big Southeast meet for a long while now. Contrary to logic, hearing mulveling's gear today has whetted my appetite for such a thing more, rather than reduced it. I'd definitely be willing to plan and look for a venue, but I'd appreciate any input of any kind...- Meyvn

(thanks to Mulveling) a slew of impressions on Qualia 010, MDR-R10, and ATH-L3000
All right. So Mike (mulveling on Head-Fi) graciously leant me some of his time and his hospitality earlier today to give me a chance to listen to his great collection of high end dynamics. His collection of top of the lines is as follows: the Audio-Technica ATH-L3000, the Sony Qualia 010 and...- Meyvn

Good headphones around $70
AKG K81DJ. Plenty of bass, great for rock, et cetera, can be had for $55 if you make an offer to fascination products on eBay, according to some. At worst, it's $60 at Amazon. That's still under your $70 mark, and they fit the bill perfectly.- Meyvn

The thrill of the hunt.//Where do we go from here?
Okay, so I was looking over at my home system just now, and it struck me at last that there was only one headphone staring back at me. I was filled with two emotions: one, a feeling of great satisfaction and joy that I'd 'found it.' I'm there. It really is an amazing thing. Another was a small...- Meyvn

Radiohead Singles: remastered?
Am I crazy, or do they remaster the A-Sides on some/all of their singles? I'm listening to My Iron Lung, and I could SWEAR it's very slightly quieter and less peaky than the album version.
