Hi!   Will be heading down to the above mentioned cities for work..i reckon i will have some free time for shopping and sight seeing so i'll probably go vinyl hunting as well.   I found one in Indy called ' Indy CD & Vinyl' that seems pretty cool and one in NY called ' Jazz Record...

Hi all,   Just bought the above yesterday and i'm facing a weird problem with it.   Before i start, this is my setup.   Sager 8150 (Windowx 7 64 bit) - > Foobar 2000 -> M2tech hiface -> Eastern electric minimax DAC -> Schitt Lyr -> Audeze LCD2 rev 2.   The M2tech installed...

Hi all,   Been a srsly long time since i listened to my cans..Been listening to speakers for the past few years but got back to my cans recently.   I currently have 2 cans, an AKG 701 and Beyer DT990 (600ohms).   Been using a Darkvoice 336SE to run the cans. The 701 sounds fabulous...

  Sigh. My beloved RS-1 just imploded while i was listening to some vinyl. In the midst of some Coltrane, the right driver just went 'POP'.   There was sound after that, but the sound was noticably thinny and had quite abit less bass as compared to the left channel. I confirmed this by...

Where are you guys! Seems like not alot of people are using this amp now. I've been using it for years now and i'm still very happy with it. hmmm.

They are built like a frigging tank. Thanks to Wilson (Jaben ) for a sweet, sweet deal that i couldn't resist. Burning in now, but out of the box they already sound very, very good. Using it with my tube rolled Cayin HA1A and they are extremely lush and detailed , with a surprisingly wide...

.....And getting the Beyerdynamic DT150s tmr. After getting into headfi for almost 4 years, and currently owning the RS-1 and AKG701, i'm going to purchase the Beyerdynamic DT150s. I've lusted over these babies ever since i've heard them a couple of years back. More updates tomorrow!

Should i? I already own a RS-1 and had a DT880 (04 version). The AKG does not really engage me and i find myself going back to the RS-1 for most of my listening ( ok maybe except classical.) any one had experiences with the V1 version?

My AKG K701s have become a little..."used-looking". The pads are stained from constant use. Is there any way to clean the pads without replacing them? thanks!

Ran to grab my zoom lens to capture this shot!

What a cracking lens! Love it! Anyone using it as well? Sample shots that i took: Comments welcome!

I just got my hands on it and i love it! Optics are wonderfully sharp and the colors are great. sample shot - Also, comments on the photo would be good, i literally just started this photography hobby a week ago. Camera is the Canon 450D.

You guys have to check out this slice of utter awesomeness man. It reminds me of a mix of Mastodon/ISIS and Agalloch thrown in for good measure ( all 3 of my fave bands woot.) Its a bruiser of an album and deserves more attention IMHO. Its melodic, angry, chock full of riffs all at once...

Just got my copy. Sounds great. Beautiful tunes and great sound quality as usual. Great album to chill out to. It sounds especially delicious through the RS1. Any Johnson fans out there?

Modded my Sun audio 2a3 amp to drive my cans now ( yes, its the amp that was raved abt in Stereophile a couple of years back..) Just got it back today and its sounding mighty fine, driving my RS1s and K701s with ease. It is extremely detailed, even more so than my Cayin HA1A. Tubes - 2x...

Time and time again i get eargasms listening to my rs-1. Just had one again..was spinning Rush's "Grace under pressure" on vinyl and when "The Enemy Within" came on the drums on the intro just blew me away. There's just something special abt vinyl and tubes man...

multiple ones at that. was listening to Kings of Leon's debut album "Youth & Young Manhood" and every track was a rolllllllller coooooooaster ride. The guitars are crunchy as hell!

Hey guys, Im making a trip down to Shanghai for a week and was wondering if anyone knows where i can get Darkvoice amps down there? Thanks!

(note the tan leather headband) enjoy!

Do yourself a favour and run out and get Keith Jarrett's My Foolish Heart. Utterly amazing. One of the greatest ( if not the greatest ) Piano trio out there at the moment. Oh, and it sounds fantastic as well.

Its been a cruel past 2 months as i sat around twiddling my thumbs, waiting for my vintage RS1s ( now not so vintage ) to return ( i blew the right driver. ) Plugged into my toob-rolled Cayin HA1A it reminded me why i am a Grado fan all over again. The AKG 701s are collecting dust. The MS2is...

I've had 2 amps died on me in the last 2 months. ( jeez. ) The search for a new amp starts now. I need something versatile that can drive the 701 and RS1s with ease. i was thinking of the Yamamoto HA-2 but im not sure how it pairs with the RS-1. Does anyone have that combination? Im...

The voice coil blew on one of my RS1 drivers. Anyone know much is it to have a matched pair of drivers replaced? Considering i have no warranty. thanks!

Im sending in my RS1 for repair soon... So i've plenty of time to think about my next upgrade. (ha. why am i not surprised.) I've read countless of times when people have dissed the RA-1, calling it a glorified CMOY. But then again, the RA-1 was voiced with the RS-1, giving it synergy...

I just scored a pair of used RS-1s and they seem to me like they're vintage. Can anyone confirm? The fonts on the buttons look different from any fonts i've seen so far, and the leather on the head band is a dark tan, not the normal black you would usually see on newer RS-1s...
