Hi all, Does anyone know if one can acquire speaker cables that have the speaker wire connect on one end (the traditional exposed wire end) and an RCA plug on the other end? If so, can anyone recommend a brand? Thanks!

Anybody seen this before? http://cgi.ebay.com/Dumbells-free-E5...QQcmdZViewItem I knew it had to be too good to be true. Note the $160 shipping for the "dumbell". Pretty funny: "I am giving away a free set u E5c headphones with the purchase of the dumbell. The dumbell is slightly...

Hi all. Just acquired a used Karma from Watson PC off of eBay and so far, so good. I was wondering if there is any way to assign Volume Control to the Scroll Wheel so that the wheel can be used to control the volume while listening to music. Are there any other related button assigment...

I was wondering if any UE Super.Fi 5 Pro owners here have found any NON-UE tips (e.g. triflanges from Shure) that fit the Super.Fi 5 Pro. Anyone?

I recently purchased a set of IEMs from a fellow headfier and submitted payment to his Hotmail address via Paypal. Payment was received, there were back and forth e-mail communiques with the seller, confirming payment, mailing address and an indication that it had been shipped with an active...

I just picked up the UE Super.fi 5 Pro from Guitar Center the other day and have found that they sound much better - clearer, fuller sound from my little 256mb Rio Forge, with custom EQ on, than from my CreativeLabs Zen Xtra with custom EQ on. Has anyone else noticed these different...

My brother's Zen Xtra just ran into headphone jack static problems. Fortunately, he'd bought an extended warranty from Best Buy so he'll be getting a $300 check from them. He doesn't want to buy an Apple product, to avoid proprietary file format and to avoid file protection issues when he...

I just won a Sony D-2 on ebay for $9 - sounds like it's in good working order. I've done plenty of searches here, but does anyone have any opinions to offer on this player. Thanks.

Hello friends. I'd like some advice. My 3-year old NAD 521i cd player stopped reading discs a few months ago. I decided to take it into a A/V repair shop for diagnosis - figured it was probably an issue of realignment, so perhaps worth fixing, relative to the original cost of the player and...

Just received the Senn HD-650 in the mail......... Wow! IMHO (so far, early use, pre-burn-in) The sound is...........luxurious, lush, detailed, impactful, groovin', toe-tappin', multi-genre-capable, comfortable to wear. I have not found them laid-back, dull or boring, bright or...

Hi all, I celebrated my waning bachelorhood last night with 25 of my buddies an family members, and that included a handsome contribution to my headphone fund. My headphone set-up presently consists of: Alessandro MS-2 (classics) with Flats Gilmore Lite with Dedicated Power Supply Unit...

Just curious if any who are experienced with the MS-2 ("classic") have found any closed phones that mirror the MS-2's sound.

Hi all, I'm looking to finally acquire my first headphone amp and am a bit overwhelmed with all of the detailed information found via searches on Headfi. I'd like to keep the expenditure to $300 max. The amp is for home use with my MS-2 (classics). I'd like to maintain/enhance the...

How do these four compare to one another? On another note, is the MS2 headband made of real leather (like the RS1 & RS2)? Thanks!

I'm currently diggin' the Grado SR-225. They're great for rock (as many here know well). However, I'd like to complement the 225s with an HP that offers more detail without being strident in the high end (making my ears bleed) or demanding much without a dedicated hp amp (which I will plan to...

I wouldn't trade that I stumbled upon this website around the time that I acquired the Grado SR-60, but I just realized that (several headphone purchases/sales later and up) noone has ever apologized for the toll that discovering this headsite would take on my wallet. Pobre mio! Wookin'...

I've just purchased a used pair of Grado SR-225 for $149 as an upgrade from my SR-60, and boy am I psyched. I've read that Grado guarantees that their 1/4'' to 1/8'' adapter will result in NO loss in sound quality. Does anyone know whether a cheapo adapter at Radio Shack will result in any...

Have any Grado owners out there thought about or actually attempted to acquire from Grado Labs a leather-lined headband replacement (a-la the SR-325 and higher models) for their sub-SR-325 Grado headphone?

I am very much enjoying the V6 sound with my Zen, but would love to enhance my portability with some canalphones. I have been looking at the E3, E2 and ER6.... Can anyone suggest which (if any) of the canalphones provide equivalent, or come closest, to the overall sound of the Sony V6?

I know this had been discussed in many parts of this forum, but was hoping to concentrate it for help in my own deliberations about which good-value (up to $150?), nice-sounding closed HP to buy for my Zen Xtra - UNamped. I would appreciate any advice or insight you have. I am currently...

Are these really and truly the same headphones? Which specific Beyer pads have people placed on these? Thanks.
