Tough market to compete in. At the lower end, Ik's iloud micro and mtm are excellent, vantoo is well regarded; up the chain Adam and Genelec have it sorted.

I did the Mayflower mod and I didn't think it sounded good at all with the stock pads. once I got the Shure pads, things made a lot more sense

Update to say that I've tried the Shure 840 pads instead of the stock -- they were a beast to put on, but after 10 mins of wrestling, I got them on. The sounds changes dramatically with these pads: bass and mid-bass is boosted substantially (in fact a bit too much). I had originally performed...

I'd try the Mayflower mods -- the only ones that are non-reversible are the hard felt stuck to the driver back. The modeling clay is probably a pain to remove as well. To my ears, the headphones were a bit "honky" -- possibly due to resonances in the earcups. After the mods (besides the cotton...

Listening now at work on my Magni3 (fed by Fulla 2 output), and this is with the Mayflower mods besides the cotton wool. I still think the frequency response is wonky, and a lot of music (unfortunately lots of metal) sounds very hectic and confused. Bass and highs are nothing to write home...

Did some mods based on the Mayflower modding kit. Sound, in particular midrange coherence, is improved, but I hope to play around a bit more after seeing what other people find. I did everything except the dampening foam (it's already there in the T-X0s) and the cotton (I may play with this a...

Got mine yesterday, only have a Schiit Fulla 2 until I get to work, but so far pretty meh IMO. Some serious wonkiness in the freq responese, which, to be fair, was to be expected. I have a mayflower modding kit on its way, so I'll reserve full judgement until I've done some of those mods...

any idea when the px-100 II are coming out? these are pretty much the only headphones I'm thinking of buying in the foreseeable future.

man, and here I was thinking that my 225s were furnished from magical plastic magma drawn from the depths of mount mordor, with drivers made of stretched dragons wings and wires of the finest elvish silver, etc, etc...

grrrr.... just ordered some full price thinking that the group buy was done.

nope doesn't get any better. enjoy your music. move along, nothing to see here.

NWA - straight outta compton Eazy-E: "Straight outta Compton, Is a brotha who will smotha your motha..." I don't know why, but the rhyming in that line always makes me smile. My other favorite in the song is "mix a man, cook him in a pot like gumbo!" The song is just full of...

recable 'em. I put a mini plug on mine and presto! px-100 replacements.

edit: ah forget it.

NEDERLAND!! EURO! 2008!!! RUUD! ROBBEN!! VAN PERSIE!! KUYT!! VAN DER VAART!! * * if they can get their sh** together and work as a team, which they never do

on a side note, José Luis Chilavert is by FAR the BEST commentator out there. There is nothing quite like hearing him mangle tough names with the excitement of a child when somebody is about to score a goal for example when Asamoah Gyan of Ghana was in danger of scoring: "Geean, Geeean...

:..( no more oranje in the cup. The Dutch got robbed with what should have been a penalty on Robben, but boths sides descended into ugly ugly sportsmanship. van Basten should have put RVN into the game. alas. I'm still holding out hope for Euro 2008. Maybe then Robben will have learned only...

cables and connectors on the berlin turnpike might have stuff. My physics lab bought a bunch of stuff there, mostly bnc cables and connectors and a soldering station.

there was a thread on these recently. search for "charleston" or something like that and it'll probably come up.

for owners of old-school 990s, this link may be helpful/informative: http://headwize.com/projects/showfil...=beyer_prj.htm

well, glac1er, if you want your 990s back, you can pry them out of my cold dead fingers!!

ksc 75: you know the band px 100s: you know the bouncer any of the other headphones popular here: you own socks printed with the band name edit: didn't read full post. oops. fixed.

this EXACT same thing happened to my 990s just a month ago. Actually, i beleive the left and right channels were shorting together. I got a really far away funky distant sound. First I reterminated them with a neutrik 1/8" jack which was a huge pain in the *****, partly because the jack was...
