I am looking for a good set of very "liquid" or "musical" headphones. I really like the sound of my ATH A500s but I also love the sound of my etys. I liked both sennheisers and grados when I listened to them but the lower end grados seem to be a little harsh. With that said what are some good...

I need some cheap durable headphones. I want to be able to sit on these and step on them and they need to keep ticking. I have listened to the HD201, they sound great but are they durable. I know my HD212s are durabel but they are a little pricey for a cheap durable headphones. Koss KSC 35/75...

One channel is clearly quieter than the other. Could this be because of a dirty filter? I am about ready to send them back to etymotics. They are still under warrenty. But only for a short amount of time longer. I will change filters later today. I tried on different sources too.

I have been playing with some resampling plugins for winamp and the included one for foobar and WOW. I just did a side by side comparison and you are right about the Audigy 2 resampling issues. By doing the resampling in software to 48000 or 96000 it uses a lot of CPU but it is worth it. I can...

I just started using foobar because I have heard it sounds better. I usually use winamp because it has the fastest libraries if you have tons of music. But foobar seems to sound clearer. Anyone else experience this or is foobar all talk?

So I have been here for a few months and read a lot. Right now I am still on my $100 dollar quest to get all the house sounds but I am always looking to the future. And in the future I see... $300 dollar headphones! So these are the major contenders. Sony SA5000 Sennheiser HD600 Beyer...

I have been wanting to for a long time but today I finally got around to it. I went dual monitor. http://www.wookieghosttrouble.com/da...olcomputer.jpg And Boy Howdy I didn't know it would be this good. I just need to figure out how to make windows only take up one screen when I make it...

I need some good R&B. I don't care if it is old school. Close to rap (Blackstreet) or mainstream (usher) I just know I need more of it. I have been listening to too much classical and rock and rap. I need the super smooth listening of R&B. Help Me! Gimme your favorite R&B groups/bands/singers.

For a long time I listened to music on the go constantly. This meant lots of pairs of headphones. Plus I was in idiot. In my credit I only bought 1 pair of these headphones. The rest came with PCDP and multiple Walkman and MiniDisc Players. Still I probably have about 10 other pairs of...

I am slowly growing my collection of headphones. They all seem to be around 100 dollars. Currently I have a AT-A500 and Ety ER6i's. Next on the list are some Allesandro's or Grado's of a similar price. So what do you think I should do to keep my 100 dollar headphone parade rolling? Sony SA...

Since I noticed a hiss when i plug my headphones into my headphone out on my speaker control panel that is not there when I plug it directly into my computer. Is there any reason to get higher end cables if I just have ER6i and A500s? Or should I just find some cheap extension and get that?

I am looking for a preamplifier for under 300. I haven't found anything yet. I think it is time to go to some hifi stores or something. I have a dynaco stereo 400 amp. It is NICE. I think My phase linear 2000 preamp is holding it back. Any recommendations?

If you could only recommend one album that you think everyone needs to hear what would it be? Ratatat - Ratatat This album released in 2004 is how one person put it, and I can't say it any better. "Tracks like Seventeen Years, Breaking Away and Pico make you wonder if this is what...

I want to set a little stereo. Right now my equipment is antique. A Dynaco 400watt amp with Some old Boston Acoustic Bookshelf speakers, a pre amp and an old 5 disc sony cd changer. I want to spend $300 on speakers $300 dollars on an amp and $300 dollars on a source. I was thinking a...

Is a PIMETA the only good choice for an amp around 100 dollars? I plan on getting HD580/600/650s in the next few months and I know how hard they are to drive. Should I just save up for a Gilmore light and forget about a pimeta? I have AT - A500s now so they don't need much amp wise and I am...

I want to know what you guys think are the most comfortable headphones. I don't care what they look like, what they sound like or what they smell like. I just want to have the most comfortable headphones of all time. So what do you guys think?

I have recently become addicted to these forums and have been trying to purchase Grado sr 60/80/125/125, Senn hd 555/595, Audiotechnica A500/900 for a low price. So far no luck. But I was wondering if you think I should get the lower end in these lines and find out which flavor I like or just...

I am about to purchase some new higher end headphones. I have used my friends Grado SR 80s and I have had a pair of Sennheiser HD212pros for a year. I have an Audigy 2 soundcard. I like the sound of both of them and am looking to spend under $200 on cans. I am thinking Sennheiser HD580s...
