Quote: Is the SE really worth the extra $100? 

It's been a while since I've been around the whole headphone scene due to lack of funds, and I've been running a "good enough" setup for a few years now. I just recently jumped on a pair of HD600s and I'm lost for an amp. My knowledge on these head phones were that they craved tubes, like...

Quote: I'm not limited to $200, I just figured if I could get something awesome for $200 much why spend $400 on an amp?

Quote: I kinda assumed that haha, but is there anything that can beat it for $200? 

What are the HE-400s like on this setup? Couldn't find much when I skimmed the thread

There really isn't a need to get a soundcard if you're buying an external dac, unless you're getting it for the digital out. If so there is no reason to spend $30 on a digital cable. Its only 0s and 1s, it either works or it doesn't. Maybe try something like this. And for the amp, if you're...

I'm at $400 so far and I don't even have my beginner setup done. I still need to get a dedicated amp. Plus I haven't even started on a vinyl rig yet... Too much money. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. We could have all probably cured cancer by now if thats where we put all out money.

It seems that most of the after market headbands use lambskin so I guess that would be a good material to use.

Ever try SnowGoons? They are what I listen to when I'm in the mood for some rap.

I've heard that the nakamichi tape decks were quite good but does anyone have any information on their CD players? Are they anything close to what their tape decks were like? My Dad bought a CD Player 2 back in the 90s and says he payed a pretty penny for it. How does this CD player rank...

Hate to keep going off topic here but I'm gonna add my 2 cents to this argument. I just want to put this in perspective here. Whats the difference from selling that CD on eBay and the classifieds section here? Those people are done with their headphones and no longer have any need with them and...

I cracked the screen on my iPod Touch a few months ago and its starting to catch up with it. It was cracked right above the headphone jack and I'm assuming things got loose and now the left channel doesn't always work. I have to apply pressure on the headphone jack to get both channels. So my...

When I hear "folk punk" I think of Against Me! They are on the complete other end of the spectrum as they are WAY more punk than the 2 youtube links posted above. There are a couple songs like Cavalier Eternal and they put out an acoustic EP too that sound more folky, but they are really more of...

The Gaslight Anthem - Sink or Swim I really love these guys. In my opinion they are what the killers could and should have been ahah. This is a solid album, a bit more rock than the '59 Sound. I still like The '59 sound a whole lot more and I refer to it as Sams Town V.2 but this new one is...
