Good wireless headphones?
I'm looking for some wireless headphones that are decent, but as an xmas present for a casual user, not an audiophile. Any recommendations?- Pr0crastin8r

The Olivia Tremor Control
Has anybody here experienced them? Check them out at pitchfork (dusk at cubist castle, black foliage: animation music vol.1). Their sound is so ridiculously complex/sophisticated that you are guaranteed to hear something new every time you listen to it. They are heavily influenced by the Beatles...- Pr0crastin8r

HD600 repair?
My poor hd600's have been under the weather lately... the right side seems to get scratchy and not work well at mid to higher volumes consistently with all sources.

Source confusion...
I use an HD600 with a custom made altoid amp (somebody here made it for me, he's in Germany, but I can't remember exactly who...). Anyway, it makes my Senns sound pretty damn good, but I can definitely hear room for improvement. I've overheard a lot of talk about upgrade order and I just have a...- Pr0crastin8r

Once in awhile one is bound to...- Pr0crastin8r

I need to be educated about tubes!
I've been watching this forum for awhile and have decided to go with the HD600/MG-HeadDT OTL. I read that tube amps are supposed to be better than solid state amps for the HD600, but I don't know why. How does a tube amp work? Why is there a tube? How does upgrading the tubes help the sound...- Pr0crastin8r
