Where there are friendly people, reviews, technical threads and nice forums ? Nikon-Canon 'friendly discussions' ala Grado-Senn here is a bonus. TIA.

Don't know if this is the right forum to post my question. Just got a subwoofer that's humming loudly - sounds like ground problem: • touching heat sink reduced the noise but still audible. • turning 'phase control' varies hum noise. • touching rca input made the hum louder. Tried...

I like my sporta pro and wonder which closed Koss have similar sound signature to sporta pro ? I only tried ur80 and their mids sound noticably thinner. Will be using them for good sound + isolation to replace senn hd25ba in the office. Thanks ! Edit: Limited to closed Koss models please, for...

I'm sure this kind of poll has been done before, it's only that I can't find the thread. So please, I'd like to know Gray-doh owners' pads of choice to go along with your beloved cans. All this time I found modded RatShack pads to give best sonic attributes for sr80, and never have the guts...

Since there are only a few Nak phones users here, I thought it might be interesting to see this similarity from drivers side: Sonically they resemble similar house sound - although sr80 are noticably more refined with less treble peaks and better bass. If I can get as productive as...

With some 300 senn users around, it would be interesting to see which popular models among headfiers. Not sure if this has been done before, so here's my first attempt at useless popularity poll making. =) Please check any senns that you have ever used or make comments if the models you own...

Just when you thought your wallet is safe ... Sorry, can't find this particular phones comparison - so I'd really appreciate comments from users of both, which one you like better and why ? In particular mids + HF extension and details area. Thanks much in advance.

It's already 8am Feb 8th over here ... so you're now officially rickcr49. Happy Birthday !! Hope you have a great one and many more this year !

Just like viewing all incoming emails ? Using 'new posts' can get recent threads, but is there any way to retrieve the same view later on ? Sometimes there are streams of umpteen pages long since last visit, and I'd like to read them much later. However, 'much later' when I hit new posts...

Iow, what is the most powerful card that can drive hd580 and has av710-like dac / sound quality ? E-mus ? I don't care much about surround sound, 2ch is good enough for listening with 580. Thanks, sm

Is this for real ?? Five did not fill in birth year so perhaps only left Jan 1st as 'default' ... but the rest ? So many moms spent new years eve on the hospital. In any case ... happy new years and birthday !! Quote: Ruach, phatalleycat, zachary80, tuba_transport, s2pidstoner...

I need to attach a thin wire to plate voice coil of tweeter, solder didn't work plus the voice coil is surrounded by fragile plastic. A quick google showed many results - but could anybody with experience with such glue please comment on its effectiveness, specifically for audio purposes ...

Today I was measuring a tweeter for my old maggie and wondered what kind of FR readings I would get using this mic in front of phones. Put it about 1 cm in front of 595 cups and was extremely surprised to see smooth response compared to regular speaker readings ! Four hours and 16 charts later...

Just one question: how does one open up Stax's rectangular ear cups / housing / casing ? One of the drivers became detached and need to be re-glued. I can try my best shot from the outside - but prefer to do it neatly and redo them thoroughly. Also some of the foam has rottened. Must be from...

Hi all, is there any specific lifetime for stax's electrostat panel ? I understand that electrostat speaker 'deteriorate' somewhat with time, esp in humid environment and some mfgs sell replacement panels for that matter. Is it the same with phones or the much smaller form factor make it last...

Is there any user of hd25ba concorde edition here ? I'm very curious to know the impedance / resistance of your phones. My standard 25sp have 85 ohms impedance and another version with short 1.5m cord and small angled plug measure 300 ohm ! Can't imagine how a plane decide to use difficult to...
