    Grado usage - a question

    So here I am with my modded SR-80 (thanks to FeedMeTrance), and I am not exactly satisfied... The woodied SR-80 actually sound surprisingly good, better then I expected... but: the headphone clamps so lightly that it looses most of the bass when it is just sitting on my head. I don't...

    Why no love for the Toshiba Gigabeat F series

    This is a question I meant to ask for quite some time. Why is the Toshiba Gigabeat F series so seldom mentioned? When I first started with a portable player I knew to things: I wanted no part of Apple and I wanted a player capable of running Rockbox. So I settled on an iriver H1x0. And...

    Where is your soundstage? Front/back/inside your head?

    When I use the UE Super.Fi 5pro's or my V-moda's the sound is inside my head and stays there. When I listen to my Ultrasone Proline 750 or to my BeyerDynamic DT880 the soundstage is a bit recessed, but to my amazement it is not as expected to the front of my, but rather to the back. On the...
