Hey all I was wondering if you could recommend a DAC to place in between my Macbook and Headfive with Sennheiser HD600's plugged in. I havent been around headfi for about a year or more so I am no longer in the loop on things. My modest budget would be around $100 to $200US. Thanks!

My main portable player is a 60 gig iPod photo. I recently got a Creative Muvo Micro N200 1 gig player that I absolutely love. I think it looks great, sounds good, is extremely portable and is easy to navigate. It also has some other nice features that I have not yet gotten around to using...

I recently purchased both the koss sportapro and ksc-75 for my girlfriend to use as portables merely based on the acclaim given to them from this forum. I expected them to be good but when I plugged them in right out of the packaging I was blown away. I have owned Grado SR-225's for about a...

Hey all. Just wondering if anyone has tried a Toshiba 3860? I was at a music store picking up some CD's and saw this for $99CAD. Just wondering if it is in anyway similar to the 3950 or 3960?

Well it didn't take me that long to get here but I have had my Grado SR225's for a couple months now and my Audio Technica A900's for a little over a week and it dawned on me that I am completely satisfied. I mostly run either of the headphones out of my ipod with a go-vibe as an amp, but...

Hey all. I love my Grado SR225s but I am finding that they may not be the perfect solution at work as they leak quite a bit and there is quite a lot of noise from computer fans and people chatting, etc. I was just wondering what are some good closed 'phones in the range of $100-$200? I mostly...

Here is an email I got back from Sennheiser Canada after inquiring how to get those yellow HD414 (H-19545) pads which are similar to the flats for Grado headphones: Good morning, This part is available for the price of $9.60 for a pair. (Part no. 19545) To order, send us a fax...

Just wanted to say how pleased I am with the vibe I got from Norm. I would say that the communication and service that Norm gives alone is worth dealing with him. He was very helpful and patient with all my questions. Norm easily made this the most pleasant internet purchase I have ever made...

Hey all. I was just wondering if any of you American Head-Fi'ers would be able to help me buy some senn pads (H-19545). I live in Canada and they only ship to the states. I'm going to order some flats from todd but I also want to try out the senn pads. I could paypal you whatever it costs to buy...

I'm sorry if this seems terribly anal retentive or ...just odd. But I was wondering if any of you Grado owners could tell me if this is normal. I have a relatively new pair of SR225's and I recently looked into the screen where the hole in the pads are and I noticed that part of the screen is...

Thanks to a nice suggestion by blessingx, I went down to Office Depot and picked up a cheap $10CAD (around $7US) clear project case. The foam that came with my sr225s fits into it without modification but I shaved off about 1/3 of a cm so that it would fit perfectly. The headphones do not move...

I do not know too much about opamps but was wondering what those who have or have heard Grado SR225's recommend in an opamp. I am getting Norm at headsave to build me an amp and I think the choices have been narrowed down to OPA2227, AD8620, AD8610 or OPA627. Any suggestions?

Hey all. Looks like reading this forum has, like most of you, made me realize that upgrading my audio setup will make my life better. While I realize $300 (more or less) isn't much... can any of you recommend what you would do with that amount? I would be primarily using this setup with a...

Hey all. I am pretty new to this whole headphone amp thing and just wanted to get my feet wet. I was lookin through ebay and found this amp and was just wondering if any of you could give me any insight on whether it is any good or not: http://www.electric-avenues.com/audio4.html

Hello. Does the Ipod ALWAYS use the battery? What I mean is... if it is plugged in with the ac adapter or firewire cord, are these cords actually powering the unit or only powering up/charging the battery so that the unit can operate? I am asking this because I would be using an ipod at work...

Hey all. Long time lurker, decided to register because I had a question to ask. I currently am using D66SL Eggos and really enjoy them but I was wondering if it would be worth it to get Grado SR-60's? I mostly use my headphones with a minidisc player, discman, or connected to my computer without...
