    Been out of the game for awhile, need suggestions

    I've been really happy with my audio setup for the past 4 or so years, but some of my equipment is starting to act up, and I'm looking for replacements. I haven't kept up with the audio world in quite some time, so I'd welcome some recommendations. Here's my current setup:   Macbook Pro ->...

    Sent KSC-35 for warranty repair, got KSC-75s back

    My KSC-35 headphones recently stopped working, so I sent them in to Koss for repair along with a check for $6. I know the policy states Koss has the right to replace any headphones with a similar model, but I wrote a note instructing the warranty department that if they could not or would not...

    Koss KSC35 troubles...

    The left channel on my KSC 35 no longer puts out any sound. I suspect the cable is the problem but I'm not sure. Will Koss honor the warranty on them? I bought them used awhile back, so I don't have proof of purchase, and the earclips are borrowed from KSC 75s. Will I still be able to get them...

    Newbie stereo question

    I'm thinking about buying a Super T-amp, but I had some questions on the set-up. I was hoping to use the line out on my iBasso D1 and connect it to the T-amp. Would I just do this using a mini to RCA cable? How do I know which channel is right and left?

    Headphone hooks + grado = ...

    I'm sure this has been discussed before, but... For the past couple months, I've been hanging my Alessandro MS-1s on hooks from my wall, and yesterday when I took them off the hooks, the driver fell right off the metal rod. Would it really be *that* difficult for Grado to make their...

    Low budget bookshelf speaker set up?

    I'm thinking of setting up a low budget (~$500-$600) stereo system. My source would be my computer. I've read a lot of good things about the Paradigm Atoms. I would like to hear what you guys suggest for a receiver or amp to hook the speakers up to. Right now, I'm looking at the Panasonic...

    iBasso D1 help!!

    I think the right channel on my D1 is busted. I plugged my headphones into the D1, and immediately heard a very loud "pop" sound in the right ear. This worried me, and when I started playing music, the right channel sounds very faint. I tried playing music straight out of the soundcard and it...

    Koss: KSC 75 or 35?

    Which do you prefer and why? I just received my KSC35s in the mail. Right now, I give the 75s a slight edge because I prefer the brighter sound signature. Both are fantastic 'phones, though

    Belkin supersplitter

    I feel bad for the DAP that has to drive 5 seperate pairs of headphones. This gadget looks like it could cause some hilarious and unfortunate situations.

    I miss my equipment!

    Being home for college breaks means I also take a break from my non-portable listening set-up. Right now, I'm listening to KSC75s straight from a laptop's onboard soundcard, and I really miss my setup at school .

    The audio spectrum

    Roughly, what is the range of frequencies that you consider to be "bass", "mid" and "treble". For example, when speaking of a headphone's "aggressive treble", do you mean that the response in the 14,000-16,000 hz range is really high? Just wonderin...

    DT770s = November's FOTM

    Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but it seems like the Beyerdynamic DT770s are November's flavor of the month. Tons of threads popping up about them... have they always been this popular?? In any case, I gave in to the devil whispering in my ear and just bought a pair . Can't wait till...

    How many 1/8" to 1/4" adapters do you own?

    It seems like every pair of audio equipment I buy comes with one. I currently have 4, but I still consider myself to be new to the world of head-fi. How many have you acquired through the years?

    Newbie question regarding impedance

    I've seen several people mod their headphones to add 100 ohm resistors to their plugs. What's the benefit of doing so? It seems like doing so would just make the headphones harder to drive. Can someone enlighten me?

    Soundcards require burn-in?

    Just curious if anyone here knows whether sound cards require burn-in. I'm running an Audigy 4 Pro with Windows Vista 32-bit. I play my music from foobar via kernel streaming. For some reason, the sound is fuzzy when compared to my Audigy 2 ZS notebook.

    Gah, my sinus is killing me

    I had cold/flu symptoms a week and a half ago. After two days, the sore throat and chills went away and I thought I was in the clear with just a little post-illness congestion. Now my right ear feels clogged, I am still congested and I have a persistent cough My headphones aren't nearly as...

    Audigy 4 Pro performance?

    Can anyone here comment on how well the Audigy 4 Pro would work as a source for headphones? I currently own Alessandro MS-1s and I am thinking about acquiring a pair of DT770/250ohm. I have no plans in the near future for buying a desktop amp.

    MS-1 or AD700?

    I'm looking to buy my first pair of high quality headphones, and based on what I've read on these forums (wonderful community here, by the way!), I've narrowed my choices down to the Alessandro MS-1 or the ATH-AD700. I listen to mostly blues, folk, and rock, but I like to indulge in the...
