I have a pair of Grado SR225is that I purchased back in 2009 and a LittleDot I+ tube amp. I love the Grado sound and I am looking to upgrade my headphones. I was originally interested in the RS2i but I am curious about the new PS500. What does Head-Fi think? How do the RS2i and the PS500 compare...

Yeah, so I gathered up the massive accumulation of change I had around the house and took it all to the local Coinstar this afternoon. I wasn't expecting too much, maybe $40? After I fed everything into the machine, it just kept going on and on as I watched the cash pile up. Much to my...

WHY?! Earlier this night I decided to fire up my Little Dot I+ with sylvania gold tubes and listen for a bit. However, a few seconds after I flipped the switch, the left tube lit up and I heard a loud popping sound from the headphones. I immediately turned the amp off and inspected the tube...

...or any other audiophile label? Personally, I would love to see Dream Theater's Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory and Tool's Lateralus on the UltraDisc SACD. Both albums are simply amazing, no doubt, but they could be so much better! Metropolis suffers from a bit of compression, and...

I've had my little dot i+ for a few days now. I upgraded the stock tubes with NOS sylvania 408a's. The tubes sound great, but there is some hissing and crackling noise in the left channel only. The hissing sound is a constant volume, so increasing the volume on the amp does not increase the...

I just thought we could share our thoughts on the new Beatles remasters released yesterday. I picked up Abbey Road today (I ordered the Mono boxset, but I won't be shipped 'till october ) and I decided to compare the new release with my Dr. Ebbetts version. Comparing the first track, Come...

I have a pair of Grado 225i's that I adore to death. I have heard magic happens when Grados are amped (specifically by a tube amp) and I am greatly intrigued. I have done a little research and found a few brands, but I would like to hear other opinions too! My price range is around $250-$300...
