    Grace m902 Initial Impressions

    Does this baby have enough juice to power a couple small, efficient desktop speakers in a nearfield configuration? (i.e. 3 ft from each ear?) Anybody try it?

    Place to buy hd650's with a liberal return policy?

    I've been thinking about picking up a pair of HD650's. But I'd really like to get them and see if I really like 'em after burn in. So I'd like to buy 'em, use 'em for a couple weeks, then either keep them or return them if they aren't "sonic nirvana". I'm not shopping lowest price - I'm shopping...

    Upgraded Power Cords worth it???

    Funny - I came here to start a thread on this very topic! Interconnects: I absolutely hear differences although usually quite subtle - generally once I get to a certain quality level (good termination, good shielding, proper impedance) I start to have trouble hearing differences. Speaker...

    You Can't Beat a Melos

    Been through two - an early SHA-1 and now a Maestro. Paired with HD600/Equinox... yummy. Have really been thinking about having Carlo do the voodoo he do, but... I like it so much I don't think I could part with it for the upgrade duration. Melos makes the HD600 sound "unveiled"

    Antness Gilmore amp...

    Please post more information! Many of us are really curious about the GGSS and the "Commercial" version being produced. There are very very few critical listening posts about this amp. Thanks

    About to buy Grado SR325s.

    I have the Grado 325's, Senn HD 600 and Ety 4Ps. The Etys are the most detailed IMHO (may in fact be due to the incredible isolation as well). The Senns and Grado's are fairly different beasts, but I use both as the mood grabs me. I added the Equinox cable to the Senns though and have found...

    What should I do?

    Senn HD600: ~$300 Cardas or Equinox Cable: ~$150 Quality Interconnect: ~$100 Maxed out Home, or ~$1k RKV II, or Melos And you're done: ~$1,550 ------------ No envy, no remorse, just really good music... and No upgraditis!

    Corda Blue: WOW!

    I also got Kurt's "full monte" treatment on my Corda. I received it a few weeks ago and have been VERY busy since. But I have had a few opportunities to audition it and it's significantly improved. I was inspired by Kelly and agree with the comments posted in this thread. Note that...

    What to wear while lawnmowing

    I use my ER4ps. Works great - and the noise of the lawnmower almost drowns out the cord microphonics

    Important question on Etymotics

    I have the ER4p's as well and they are still VERY microphonic. In fact I usually hear my breathing as the cord rubs my shirt. Unless you loop 'em back over your ears and look even sillier... I wouldn't recommend them for jogging.

    Just how hard to drive *are* the HD600?

    I got into head-fi looking for a travel solution - I ended up buying a Total Airhead and Etys. Long story short: I LOVED it. The detail! The clarity! Unbelievable! It wasn't long until I wanted that same sound at home, all the time, without having to stick Etys in my ears - just not practical...
