OK fans, need some guidance. My HF2's came apart at the headband. Almost like it came unglued. Is this DIY repairable or should I send it to Grado for repair? TIA

I have an old pair of SuperFi 5 EB's that have lived a good life. Original shells have seen better days but the biggest problem is that the female connector on one side has almost come off.  So much so that while I can plug in a cable, there's no way that it'll stay on there w/o ripping the...

Took a look at some of the threads but most are concerned w/ audio quality, for my purpose, I need durable.   My kid's hard on his headphones, or the cables to be more exact.  So much so that I moved him to some Monoprice over the ears with the detachable cable.  Since January, he's on his 4th...

There's still hope.   http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/13/3329062/apple-lightning-hdmi-vga-cable-adapter-coming-months

Almost sounds like for new iDevices using Lightning, any outboard amp would pretty much have to be a DAC now.  Plus there'd have to be some config on the iDevices to output the audio via Lightning so a DAC would work properly.  It would have to work like your Mac/PC when it recognizes a USB DAC...

Looks like LOD is gone.  If so, that sucks.  Even video out is gone.   http://news.cnet.com/8301-31322_3-57511687-256/apples-dock-connector-change-is-awful-dont-kid-yourselves/

Quote: That was it.  Much thanks.

Yes, the Senns are better.  I took my HF2 pads and soaked them in Woolite.  Made them softer and WAY less itchy.  But the Senns are still softer and more comfortable.

Quote: Actually, mine came with 5 tips.  3 different sized silicon tips and 2 pairs of the same sized comply tips.  I'm trying to figure out what size those comply tips are.

Quote: Yes, it appears that the replacements are the TX-500 but those come in S/M/L.  Trying to figure out what size to get rather than the full set of all 3 sizes and end up wasting the other 2 unused sizes.

I want to get some replacements but not sure what size I need.   What size are the stock comfy tips that come w/ the UE10?  Those fit fine. Thanks.

Swapped the op amps from the kit and still the same problem.  Ideas/

I've noticed a problem w/ my D10 lately.  It's a few years old, out of warranty, BTW.   W/ the volume at zero, I can hear sound out of the right channel, but not the left.  As I turn up the volume, both channels increase in volume but it's obvious that one side is louder than the other.  I...

Hope to make it out to this.   Have a question for the locals.  My Bottlehead S.E.X. has the right channel that just went out.  It's not tube-related, as I swapped tubes, the problem follows the channel. Any recs on local tube amp repair?  Preferrably, Peninsula or South Bay.  Much thanks...

For portables, I've used an iBasso D10 and an RSA Green Hornet.  Even though the D10 is much more versatile w/ my Macbook, the RSA is hands down much better.   My best match (in my home) w/ the HF2 is the Bottlehead S.E.X.

LOD question for iPad users that also have iPhones. I just ordered an iPhone 4 and I'm wondering which of my various iPhone 3G cables will still work.  I figure that most cables that work w/ iPad 'may' work w/ the iPhone 4.   The reason I ask on this thread is because if a 3G cable/dock...

zx10guy, where'd you get a Kuro nowadays?  I'm in the market but only lcdtv.com has 'em.

Very nice Jackson as well.  The color scheme has a Ti feel.   I had a geared frame that I was going to 'fix'.  Never got around to it and ended up selling it.

Quote: Very nice.  I didn't know On One makes carbon forks.  I still love my Il Pompino.

I have a bunch of BJC gear.  Love 'em, well priced.  Granted not the value of Monoprice but does 'look' better.  Sound?  Pretty much the same.   BUT, you said low-profile in your post.  Bear in mind that these cables protrude pretty far because of the connector.  And if you pick a more rigid...

I liked the Paradigm sound.  Someone suggested Axiom for a 'similar' sound and I ended up w/ an HT system based around the M22's.    I also have a pair of Von Schwiekert VR1's that I use for my tubed stereo system.  LOVE them and they are pretty power efficient.  I also like the Monitor...

You need to find the right combo of gear for your ear.   Using my iPhone 3G -> - LOD -> Hornet M -> Thinksound Rains, I have more than enough bass.  I've used the same setup w/ my UE 5EB's, but those IEMs are too muddy.  I've used this also w/ my Shure 840's and Grado HF2's and still...

New Lum-Tec C38 C4 owner Loving my new watch. My wife bought it for my bday. Black w/ orange lume. I've been looking for a 'new' watch for a while. Been contemplating used Rolexes, but struggling to determine if I could find a reputable dealer. Then I saw some articles on the black Rolex...

Spot up in Canada has a couple of belt-specific rigs. Curious how they hold up over time. The mud doesn't adhere to the belt?
