Can you recommend some around $100 cartridges for a Technics MK2?     Quote:  

Thanks, yeah, I'm gonna keep things 5.1....   Any speaker recommendations? What are some good under $500 options?   Quote:  

I actually have a large JBL Venue Series sub but I am actually trying to figure out how to get rid of it. I can't really use a big sub like that in my new apt. A solid pair of floor or bookshelf speakers would be perfect.   Should I focus on the speakers first THEN and amp? Do I even really...

  Hey everyone, I'm moving into a new apartment in a few days and have finally decided to upgrade my home audio system. This has been a long time coming (both the moving and upgrading). I recently purchased a pair of Beyerdyanmic DTS 880s and would like to begin moving towards the...

I ended up going with the 250 Ohms. These are my first pair of headphones that cost more than $30 so I'm really looking forward to using them for many many hours. I know that my girlfriend has been wanting something like these for a couple of years.   Now the search for a new turntable...

Thanks for the info. Just bought a pair of DT880s on B&H's site for $230. Should be in my hands tomorrow. REALLY looking forward to them!   Quote:  

So I think I'm going to pull the trigger on a pair of Beyerdynamic headphones and am now trying to decide between the 880s and 990s.   Would you go for the 880 or 990? What's the difference between the two? Will a Sony home receiver be able to drive the 600 OHM versions? (if not I'll go...

We listen to a lot of indie rock, blues, rock/pop, and metal. I must admit, I do like the looks of the AKY 701/702, just as far as an object goes..   Quote:  

These headphones would be used in conjunction with a Sony receiver that I've been using for some time ( I've got a turntable and a little cradle to pop my ipod into). Most everything I listen to on my iPod is at 320 kbps.   The Sony receiver should have enough juice to power to drive some...

What would you get and why?   I can't make my mind up between the AKG K701, Audio-Technica ATH-M50, and Beyerdynamic DT 880   HELP!   Is there anything else I should be considering? These are going to be for home-use/living-room use only for me and my girlfriend.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to purchase a new STAX SRS-2050II?   Thank you in advance!

I should have mentioned in my original post, that my girlfriend is an artist, so a set of headphones that are aesthetically pleasing would be perfect.   She would totally be into the style of the Stax headphones but I can't really afford $1,000+ headphones right now along with all of the...

Quote:   Do you think the Fostex T50RP will sound good out of the box? I'm not really looking to get into modding and whatnot.. and they DO cost a lot less..

Thanks for all of the info guys! I know I would probably love each and every one of these. So if I'm going to simply be using a "standard" Sony home stereo receiver these guys will sound decent?   I'm also kinda interested in the Fostex T50RP...   Has anyone checked these guys out?  ...

Hey everyone,   I'm looking to purchase a nice pair of full size headphones for home-use. My girlfriend has been asking me to pick up a pair for a long time. She'll probably be listening to a lot of indie rock, rock/pop, blues, and probably a little bit of metal.   I think the plan is...
