I just came back from "Post your Desktop" thread, and I thought it'd be nice if we could all share wallpapers we're using.   With more and more head-fiers uploading not-so-wallpaper-intended images on this thread, I am editing the OP to edit the original rule. First of all, it remains that...

Just read it this morning, and thought It'd be a good article to share.   http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/how-snake-oil-got-a-bad-rap/

Seriously, I really like this headphones, but my ears hurt after a while (physical comfort-wise. Sonically, I'm satisfied)...

was supposed to be a grado line up review from a korean website. didn't translate smoothly with google translate and not enough demand to personally translate, so i think it's best this thread be deleted.    thanks for the help, moderators.    

i received my SR60 today, and I before putting it on, I was expecting some kind of harshness/fatigue that many seem to associate the grado phones. (at least the SR60/80 at least) But I don't. Is it something I notice after a while? I've had ATH-M50 long enough to have gotten used to the...

Hello, everyone, it seems funny asking about coyotes in headfi, but I figured, someone might have the experience of dealing with coyotes.   I have a mid-sized dog in my backyard, and from few weeks ago, these coyotes keep coming and try to snatch away my dog! For this reason, my dog just...

Hello, everyone   I recently bought a Yo-Yo Ma's CD and fell in love with the thick resonant music created by the cello that can't be found in violin (although violin offers other things that makes it enjoyable to listen to). I started listening to it yesterday while I was reading, but it...

    ...just wanted to hear/read you guys' reactions... (no its not mine. But I think I should keep the owner of this pic anonymous..)

Hello everyone.   In the "Being a student audiophile..." thread, while talking, many of us realized that several of the users responding to the OP were Cal Poly Pomona students, and the idea of a mini-meet came up near the Cal Poly area. Although at first the plan was to have a casual mini...

  As a student, I have this problem. I want to try new headphones. I can't go to meets because I can't drive. I can't just go off buying new headphones because they're expensive. So I read reviews. The headphones other people use seem like they make some HEAVENLY sound!! Now I want new...

Hi guys, I'm starting this thread hoping to end the still-lurking question of how big your head has to be to have a nice fit with the AD700...   So here's the question: If you feel like you have a nice secure fit with your AD700 (WITHOUT the rubberband mod), if you'd be so kind, would you...

Is there any way to check what DAC your desktop is using? I am reading so much about how a DAC changes the sound quality greatly as it replaces the usually mediocre soundcard computers have, but I wanted to hear the difference this before spending my money. What I did was to compare listening to...

I've been realizing a lot more these days that no matter how high the bitrate an mp3 file has, or whether the song is ripped directly from a CD into lossless, a badly mastered recordings still sound bad! I sometimes even found lower bitrate mp3 files provided a sort of a safe haven for me, as it...

I was reading some threads on how DAC improves the sound quality greatly on the computer. How would the sound quality differ between listening to music straight out of a portable music player(cowon j3) with ath-m50 (which I hear does not need an amp.) and listening to music on my computer with a...

 I want to look for an IEM to drive with my cowon J3 directly, without an amp.   Sound quality wise, I have no problem on the ath-m50 other than the narrow sound stage and in my opinion, a little recessed mids. I like the m50 bass-wise. Although I sometimes wish it could extend lower.   ...

Hello, head-fi members,   I'm writing this hoping some of you guys can help me.   Recently I've started listening to some of Sarah Brightman's songs like "Phantom of Opera," and "Time to Say Goodbye" My friend got me interested in these singers, and so the first audio files I've used...

Hello Head-fi   I actually have a thread on IEM's under $200 as well, but if I find a headphone that fits my needs, I think I am more willing to...   Currently, I have ath-m50 from audio technica. I love everything about it except for the small soundstage. I liked how the headphone...

Hello Head-Fi forum.   This is my first time creating a new thread here...I became a member yesterday although I've found this forum very helpful in deciding on my first headphone:Audio Technica ath-m50...   Just as I'm becoming more and more addicted to listening to music constantly...
