Grado sound without the Grado build: options?
I had three Grados and I fell in love with all of them. After my first SR-60 I bought an SR-325i, and when the cable broke I went for a MS-1 (with bowls). Which also broke. In the cable. Like 10 minutes ago while rewatching Breaking Bad Season 5. I love the Grado sound, I love the fact it's...- DesmondDavidH

Best portable iPod speaker-dock? Looking for something decent w/ battery
I know it's not the kind of device that makes you think about audio quality, but I need one and I'm looking for something good enough to set up in a work environment and for traveling. It has to be compatible with the non-Lighting iPod Touch and I need one with a *battery*. Price range is up...- DesmondDavidH

What's the best budget Xonar?
I'm planning to change my good old Audiotrak Prodigy because Windows 8 doesn't like the Windows XP 64bit driver I'm using (it's like 7 years old) and most of the time the OS need a restart to hear sounds. All I need is a budget card with decent output to drive my 2.0 old hi-fi and my...- DesmondDavidH

Mid-size headphone for outdoor
Hi, I'm looking for a mid-size headphone for *outdoor* use for my iPod classic or Shuffle. Grados or giant cans are out of question, I'm planning to use them while running. Any suggestion?- DesmondDavidH

Damaged MS2i cable, what can I do
The upper part of the Y (right chan) of my MS2i cable started making a cracking sound. What kind of option I have (considering I live in the EU)? Does Grado make repairs in/off warranty? What's the charge? Tnx, Luca- DesmondDavidH

Battles (post-rock, post-everything)
If you're open to post-rock, experimental or simply just good music, watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpGp-22t0lU The band is called "battles", the album is "mirrored" and is leaked on the internet (is not probably out yet).- DesmondDavidH

ASIO, better quality?
Ok, I spent the last hour trying to find info about ASIO. Everything I found was about the better latency, not much more than that. There's something else other than latency? I mean, I'm not a musician nor a producer, I just listen to music (flac/acc/mp3) and latency is nothing I need. So why...- DesmondDavidH

I'm special, I want a MiniDisc in the MP3 era
A Hi-MD to be precise. Am I crazy? I think I'll try to look to a used model on ebay. Why? I don't want to afford more than... say... a used 2gb Nano. With much less it seems I can afford a Hi-MD with 3+ discs... and the demand is very very low = very low prices. How do they sound with an...- DesmondDavidH

white noise from the Prodigy jack, but not from the amp
I have this strange problem, if I connect my SR60 to my AUDIOTRAK Prodigy 7.1 lineout with headphone amp turned on I have a low white noise, low but annoying and audible. If I turn the amp off via the panal, it disappear. BTW, this is not the setup I use everyday, in fact I plugged the Grado...- DesmondDavidH

SR60 to MS-2i. Worth or not?
Hi, I just made my first step in the headphile world and I'm already feeling the first symptoms of upgraditis. I'm a happy owner of a SR60 and I like the sound and I'm so impressed by the quality that I'd like see (actually, listen) what a better Grado would perform, like a MS-2i. I heard (ok...- DesmondDavidH

Audiotrack Prodigy: is this a RCA out??
My first decent headphone arrived (Grado SR60) today and I need a better computer source. I found a used Audiotrak Prodigy on a local forum, but what I really need is a RCA out to connect the card to my Marantz amp. I feel dumb, but the Prodigy has a color coded digital out in black/red which...- DesmondDavidH

Need opinions for a cheap setup
I currently have an Audigy on my main rig, it's connected to an old Marantz PM-63 (low-mid range of 8-10 years ago) and I use it to listen to my indie/wave audio collection (lossy and not). I know for sure the best things to do is change my Audigy, probably with an Envy based card (I'm trying to...- DesmondDavidH
