New favorite way to listen to music
Recently put our old home stereo in the bedroom, and hooked the inputs up to my headphone's source in a way that they are both going at the same time. Speakers sound too distant, and headphones can sound too intimate. but combine the two at the right volumes and it sounds really good. there is...- Sirwar

I still can't stop chewing on my headphone cord!
You people said that once you get more expensive headphones you'll think "better not eat this" but I have SR325s and I still chew on it like a mofo. Especially that little Y split.- Sirwar

Sonicbox, IM radio.
I don't know if anyone has heard of this, but its really cool. I bought this thing to transmit my computer sound over radio frequency to my stereo, but then when I got it I found out it has a very robust selection of internet radio stations, and a very cool remote to control the computer...- Sirwar

portable cd player case
I've searched on the net for hours, and in lots of stores, but I can't find anything. I just want something to put my cd player in that I can somehow attach to my person so I don't have to physically carry it. Everything I see is big waiststrap things or packs that think they're 'all that'...- Sirwar

MX500 first impressions
roughly $15 vs $300 SR-325s...these win in value ;P in sound...hah okay, now that we've determined that they don't sound better than 325s, we can continue. There really isn't much to say so far because it seems that the characteristics of the sound change depending on the padding, the...- Sirwar

once again, crappy grado build quality...
I paid $300 for my SR-325s. They consist of drivers in a metal casing with a thin headband that holds the drivers in place using the friction of these little plastic things. The plastic things are wearing out and every time I take them off my head the drivers fall off and hit the floor or...- Sirwar

Grado build quality
My friends sort of pointed this out(in a mocking, demeaning tone); Grado's headphones look cheap! They also FEEL cheap, other than the sound, of course. I mean, my earpieces fall off so much, every now and then I just give up and take them off the 50 cent headband and use them as satalite...- Sirwar

I need help with a PC source.
Okay, **** happens, the GameTheater XP > Gamma is pointless. But I have them, and I want to use them, but I don't know how to set it up, I need some help. So here is what I want to do: Play games using my GameTheater. Play music through my Gamma, without the stupid upsampling the GT does...- Sirwar

Gamma DAC...no effect?
Okay at first try I loved the Gamma, but it might have been the 'new toy' effect it seems... I have my system set up as gametheater(optical) > gamma > corda > SR-325. It might be the upsampling the GT does, but there doesn't seem to be much if any difference in sound quality between the...- Sirwar
