I've been pretty happy with my pinnae for 46+ years, but I've been thinking about having them reshaped to achieve better synergy with my AH-D2000. Can anyone suggest a pinna shape that works well for closed headphones? Feel free to comment on other shape/headphone combinations that you like.  ...

I learned about this from Anything but iPod:   http://blackfriday.com/radioshack-blackfriday-2010-ad

While I enjoy the sound of my LD1+, the intermittent hisses and cracks from the tubes make it difficult to listen to solo piano and other quiet jazz recordings. I've tried cleaning the contacts, replacing tubes, etc. but the amp simply isn't quiet enough.   My preffered tube is an RCA 6AK5...

FYI: http://wfmu.org/recfair/   Not a Head-Fi meet, but not sure where else to post.

I have:   A DVD player with audio line out, coaxial digital audio signal output and HDMI out. An HDTV with HDMI in as well as audio line out and an optical audio signal output. A preamplifier with line in only.   I use the HDMI connection for the video signal.   At the moment I...

Any issues with using the recent 1000mA version (small cube that comes with newer iPhones)?   Thx.  

I've been suffering with the 3GS and RE2 during my 1+ hour commute for the past several months. I had originally chalked this up to the RE2, but had a revelation after playing around with an LOD, several amps and headphones today:   Headphones: SR125i, KSC75, RE2 Amps: LD 1+, Headroom...

I've been using Bike athletic supporters (with cup) since my days as a catcher in little league. I've lost some weight and tried a smaller waist size, but my boys are moving around a bit more than they should. I'm a bit of Bike fanboy, but may need to switch brands.   Any recommendations?

My Dell netbook should arrive in the next few days and I'd like to transfer my music files from my noisy desktop to an external hard that will be used with the new machine. I'm looking for recommendations for a very quiet drive that's ready to use out of the box (don't want to fuss with...

I've been using Staples #84 rubber bands for office and home use, but I'm looking for something with a bit more elasticity. Has anyone tried the Office Max branded bands? I've seen (but never tried) a few and I suspect that they're from the same manufacturer as the Staples variety. I hear that...

Summer is just around the corner and my primary listening room has a window air conditioner about 8' from my head that gets a pretty good workout. I'm looking for recommendations for sealed headphones that will block out most (all?) of that noise. From the data provided by Headroom, it seems...

I haven't used a CD player since purchasing my first iPod in 2002 (the 1st touch wheel model). I recently 'upgraded' to a 4G nano and a classic 120GB and re-ripped all of my CDs using iTunes/Apple lossless (a pain, to be sure) - assuming I would achieve 'CD-quality' sound. I've also...

Please tell us about it: What equipment you have. What you like/don't like about it. What you would/might change. Post pictures!

I've been playing around with the platter height on my AR-XA as it was a little high for the belt to hang onto the inner platter at 45 rpm. I put it all back together and rechecked the tracking force, overhang etc. - but didn't have a 45 handy. I remembered I bought my SO the latest REM LP...

I'm in the processing of designing a leveling/isolation system for my AR-XA and looking for recommendations for leveling feet. The tt will sit on: flat board isolation material (mouse pads, sorbothane) flat board leveling feet shelf/stand The feet don't have to provide much in the way...

I'm looking for a new cartridge for my AR-XA (currently using a Grado Blue). I'm considering the Shure M97xE ($70 at J&R). Any thoughts about this choice or recommendations for other, similarly priced cartridges? Thanks.

I ordered the SR125i from TTVJ late Wed. They were shipped directly from Grado (about 30 min from my home) and I received them on Fri afternoon. A 1/4" to 1/8" adapter cable that I ordered was also supposed to be shipped from Grado, but was left out of the package (TTVJ was apologetic and will...

This ad has been shown on NYC TV stations over the past few months: YouTube - Headphone Wall - J&R Commercial (Sorry if this has already been posted - tried search, but didn't find anything.)

Looking for recommendations for something as low profile/short as possible and relatively inexpensive ($30 or less). Thanks.

None of the tips that came with my RE2 are quite right. The best option of the Head Direct-supplied tips is the translucent (not white) double-flange set, which provide fair (but not quite adequate) isolation. The other tips are too small for my ear canals. Does anyone have actual...

I plan to purchase Grado 325i headphones and a suitable amp over the next six months. I have an interest in the following amps: Headroom Micro Amp Headamp Gilmore Lite Firestone Cute Beyond and am curious about SQ improvements that I might expect relative to my current PA2V2/SR60 combo...

My trusty 2nd generation ipod is nearing the end of its useful life. The battery doesn't hold a charge for very long and I'd like something smaller for commuting that will play Apple lossless files. I'm not worried about the reduced storage capacity - a 8GB will holds a day's worth of lossless...

I have a 2nd generation 10GB ipod that works fine and is perfect for commuting (not a huge deal if something happens to it), but only has a firewire port for data transfer/charging. My everyday PC doesn't have a firewire port and I would like to avoid having to purchase/install a card...

I just installed DSL at home and have the power transformer connected to a A/C surge protector. Should the phone line from the wall jack run through one as well? Will it have any impact on the DSL signal? Thanks.
