    Sennheiser/Grado hybrid?

    While looking at my blown right HD600 driver, I found that the SR-60 driver fits perfectly into the hole... This could lead to some interesting hybrids.

    Just receieved HD600s, first impressions

    Just got my refurbed HD600s from amazon... Some first impresions are: Man, these are sharp looking. Put them on my head... Hmm they clasp kind of tightly (vice). Wait, these are supposed to be more comfortable than my MS-1s? They aren't - to me. Plug them into the amp im using... The noise...

    Grado/Alessandro Reconditioning

    My MS1s seemed to have developed (or maybe they have had them forever, I don't know) a channel imbalance. The right channel seemed more faint than the left. I wasnt sure what could have caused this, but there was also a slight grattle in the right channel. I sucked on the cup, and noticed it was...

    How happy would I be with this new setup?

    Currently, I have MS1s. My source is my computer, with a wave 8/24 sound card. This card is full 24bit/96khz supportive. Im running its output into my receiver, which Im using to power my headphones. To me, this sounds very good. I just graduated from high school, and have a few options as to a...

    Laptop power supply?

    Would it be feasible to use a laptop power supply as a power supply for a PIMETA? One like this for instance http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ory=41993&rd=1

    Need some help with tracking down hum.

    I have a problem with the amp im using as my headphone amp. Its (I think) an early 70s electro voice amplifier. Its small, and is usually used for speakers. I have found, however, that it sounds exceptional with headphones. For some reason, I just love listening to this thing instead of my...

    Proposed plan, suggestions

    Pretty soon I plan on making a substantial upgrade to my stereo system (I hope). Right now I am using a JVC reciever for my amp, and its not bad, but its pretty old and messed up. What I planned on doing was this. I was going to build one of those s5 electronics K12 tube amp kits, and make it in...

    PX100 or PortaPros

    Right now for my home rig I have MS1s, and I really love them. For my ipod though, currently I am stuck with Koss "The Plugs". While the bass is not bad, they sound very harsh and tinny. I was wondering if you would recommend sennheiser PX100s or Koss PortaPros as an upgrade for my portable rig...

    Grado driver

    If you look in the classifieds, you can see I need to buy a SR60 or similar driver. Here is why. I was removing the drivers, because through the pad side I could see creases everywhere. I took out one driver, and then the board pulled off. I was like, crap!!. I read about removing the...
