How do you obtain the vinyl of your favorite artists? I know that it is making a resurgence, but chances are you won't be able to find X album or EP without much effort. Apart from phoning their record company directly. I think it's sad that most records are only available in dance, where...

Madonna, wheels on the bus dance version. The single most pointless excuse for a record this side of N Sync? For christ sake who expects to buy this? It's a nursery rhyme to a beat

I'm thinking of taking the unusual step in actually buying the interconnects for a system 1st, when usually they are the last component. I'm actually looking to spend up to £200 on a pair, as I see them as just like another component, actually imporving the sound. Has anyone any experience with...

Can someone explain the difference between "harsh" and "bright" treble please. Are the SR 325's just bright? Harsh meaning "hissy" and "spitty" decay?

After using SR-225's for a few months I am looking for some new phones that will correct the strident, intense treble of the grados. I am looking at RS2's or HD-600's as headphones that play all kinds of music well, but don't have hard edged leading and trailing treble like the lower grados...

I have won a Sony d-15 on ebay. Anyone know anything about this, and what colour it is or anything. It looks a dirty grey in the photo.

These phones have the flattest frequency response I have ever seen in a dynamic headphone. Does it mean they're boring or very good?

The infamous D-35 is on ebay and some others. They mention though that it is prone to skipping with some cd's, but that might mean there is no shock protection, not that the cd player is faulty.

Anyone heard the stax portable system? It's designed for a portable specifcally, and comes with a headband and amp.

Has anyone tried a pair of these. According to a hifi choice review, they do no wrong. They do weigh quite heavy at 340g, however they have a double headband and large earcups. I love the idea of a wide soundstage with bass.

Could I use a grado RA-1 as a portable amp, if I pulled the feet off? Can I use the RA-1 well, on other headphones apart from grado? Is a JMT amp as good or better as the grado? I've PM'd him, and he is taking long to respond.

If I bought an etymoytic ER4P could it be converted to the S easily, if I wanted? Are etys like the ER-20 earplugs that I have?. I found it to be pleasing enough to wear. Could they be comfortable for 2+ hrs, providing the right tip was worn and size?

How do you know when you have inserted the etymotic ER-20 far enough? When I insert them the stems point downwards on my ears. Are you ment to push them in so the largest white flange dissapears? I'm aprehensive to push them too far, I might touch my eardrum.

Check out the self tiltled album, and the track Uranium. It is very good. If you like breakbeat. The bass is odd.

What exactly are Neutrik headphone connections? If I bought an amp with these how could I use grado, or any other headphones for example with these. They don't look like they will fit.

What are these 2 amps like besides one being tube and one being solid state? Are they suitable for contemporary music like rock and dance? Is the treble too bright on any of them, or are they neutral. I prefer warm than bright, but neutral is fine.

What are the differences between Allesandro grado headphones, and their normal Grado equivalents? It looks as if they have condensed the range into 3 headphones. Do they have all the good features of Grado, without the brightness? The lowest model looks like a rehash of the SR-80 with a...

Thinking about the OB-11 SE. Are 3.5" to stereo phono jacks redily available. This goes from my soundcard to the L R line input on the creek.

Got back from seeing mortician, and darkside, my ears are ringing! No headphone listening for the next 24 hrs, on the safe side. I can burn in my 225's because they're a little quiet and stiff atm. Gonna run them in for a few days overnight. I read that the 225's take a long time...

Ok, i'm thinking about returning my 225's, the ones I got on saturday have the plastic grille, becuase a few people on the forum said the metal grille is better, and it will be more durable too. I'm thinking about swapping them for 225's with metal grille.

As you move up the grado range to the RS series, do you get a real sense of the organic nature of instruments? I mean when you hear a drum, you know it is a snare or a tom, and the attack and decay present? When you hear a guitar, you hear how much distortion, and vocals have an animated feel...

Upgrado fever strikes me. Thanks guys. I feel... unable to resist

What amp, home or portable complements grados the most? I know my minidisc will be able to drive them loud, however at very poor quality compared to a reciever.

When you listen to the 225's properly, mine arn't burnt in yet. But the impact and soundstage, bloody hell, they make your eyes water. It is fatiguing in a wonderful way, on some recordings you feel elated. Amazing. I listen to this death metal on them, and I can here the traditional instruments...

I went to a place where they let my audition the 325s and the 225s, side by side with my music. At first I tried the 225's through a Teac series hifi separates out of the headphone jack. I turned the volume the total opposite way than the assistant ajusted it, and my head was promptly blasted...
