Grado PS500 question
Has anyone ever seen round thing where the cables join on the PS500? I've never seen anything like it, and was puzzled. It terminates in what sure looks like an original Grado plug (with the word "GRADO" on it etc.) and the cable feels like the familiar original Grado cable. \- jonathanjong

ER4p...iPhone case?
So, the ER4p jack is a pretty hefty beast. My iPhone case apparently occludes too much of the space around the headphone in. ER4 users, what case do you suggest for an iPhone 5s?- jonathanjong

ESW10JPN replacement head cushion?
Hey, I see that a few people on eBay are selling replacement headband cushions for ESW9 and ESW10JPN. Anyone have experience with them? Or is there an official replacement part? I can't find one on the AT website. Thanks.- jonathanjong

Recommendations for portable amps for mobile phone: interference/static noise and shielding
Hi, I'm in the market for a portable amp, but one of the things I've found annoying about them is the fact that wifi/3G/4G causes annoying static noises if they're not shielded properly, etc. So, I'd like to know of you positive experiences with slim, very portable amps that don't have this...- jonathanjong

Watches - another passion of ours, it seems...post your pics!
...think, i that they're all faithful workhorse models that will--with some luck and not an undue amount of abuse--basically last forever. They're not *fancy*--no top-tier flagships, no silver re-cables, no exquisite hand-painted casings, no shiny ebony--but they're well-designed objects all the...- jonathanjong

Audiofly AF120 v. AF78?
Has anyone tried *both*? The price difference is small, but I was wondering if there's any reason to save just a few dollars and go for the AF78.- jonathanjong

Watches - another passion of ours, it seems...post your pics!
Thanks for the tips so far. I guess if a Parker 51 is a great under-$100 deal, then I'd say a good budget watch deal would be under $1000? (Or, better yet, under $500).- jonathanjong

I knew there'd be a Watch-Fi... OK, so I thought to myself this morning: I wonder what the Parker 51 of vintage watches would be? That is, what's a good, easy-to-find, budget vintage watch that is just generally awesome and practical. Any thoughts?- jonathanjong

What happens when one plugs computer speakers into the headphone port of an integrated amp?
Someone asked me this the other day, and I had no idea. I don't suppose the built-in amp in the speakers get by-passed, so is there just redundancy? Will the speakers get over-powered and, thus, wrecked in some way?- jonathanjong

Just moved to the UK. Who does re-cabling here?
I'm going to bump this. Surely someone in the UK or EU offers a recabling service that isn't £240 at AmpCity. -

I've spent the last year or so finishing of my thesis, and now it's good to be back (and at a real job!). So, I'm thinking of using my iPhone 4S (and iPad 2) as my sources at work, mainly listening through a Grado RS1. I'd like to know what's available these days in terms of DAC/amp...- jonathanjong

I'm about to reterminate using these plugs too. But I'm told headphone cabled have 3 wires. Where do I solder each wire to? Which of the two small gold bits shown in the photo are L and R? And where does the ground go?- jonathanjong
