i've been listening to headphones this whole time but want something nice to fill the room up with sound. so i found a deal on a pair of paradigm titans for $120 at a local audio store. if the sonic t-amp were enough to amp these, i think that'd be a great value system! is the t-amp enough...

head-fi has guided me towards my two very informed purchases, the grado sr-225 and the audio-technica a900. as i really can't afford a worthwhile amp, these two cans will offer me great sound in noisy/quiet environments. i'll also need to pick up a cheap pair of earbuds for my ipod (i lost...

firstly, it seems like the tenfold response to every a900 post is "i just ordered mine off audiocubes!" or "i just got mine yesterday, they're great!" secondly, i just got mine three days or so ago by taking the advice of many, and i love 'em. which is why i'm curious about their history...

so i lost my ipod earbuds. left them in some hotel while travelling for winter break, but whatever, the drivers were messed up anyway. anyhow, i'm looking for a solid replacement. i'm thinking any price up to like $50, since i don't need anything high-end, just something that, well, sounds...

this has been sort of discussed on various topics on the forums, but i was hoping more people could address the issue more openly before i take another college student's financial plunge. so please take a second to listen to my story... ever since i've started getting into hi-fi personal...

any grado owners out there know any tracks off the top of their heads that make their cans shine? i got a pair of 225's and i want to hear some songs that sound great with 'em

everyone in this forum seem to already know what an amp's supposed to do. but can somone just simply break down what an amp can possibly do for my low-impedance grado 225's? i'm interested in possibly investing in one and want to know know if it's worthwhile. thanks.

hi all, so i built a cmoy this summer for use with my grado 225's to find no change in sound. i thought it was because grados are low impedance, so i set the gain to 3. i thought it was a waste of a project because nothing changed in terms of sound, but then it just occured to me that i...

ok so this summer i upgraded from an sr-80 to an sr-225. the difference was incredible. soundstage, articulation, all that good stuff. i was really happy with my upgrade, so lurking around on head-fi i realized that since i was listening to high-bitrate mp3's off my laptop, i should upgrade my...

i thought my sr-225's sounded good off my laptop and echo indigo i/o. the other day i listened to my mp3's (192 and 320 kbps) off my friend's computer (via itunes). the difference is, he has a crappy stock onboard soundcard running to a sony receiver (something he bought, used, from a friend...

i just had a question for y'all. how did you guys (and girls) enter the world of audiophilicity? i noticed that out of all my friends, i'm one of the only ones that appreciates music to the extent that i do. and when i think about why, my mind drifts back to the years after years of piano...
