I just recently discovered that my gilmore lite makes a loud audible hiss when it is on. I unplugged everything except the lite and turned it on and listened to it via alessandro ms1s, and the volume dial is no longer dead silent. It has an extremely loud and annoying hiss that raises when i...

I have a custom made 6 pin connector, could this be the reason behind the hiss? I would hate to find another connector for it, as it works perfectly. whenever I remove the cable, it gives a loud audible permanent hiss. Plugging the cable back in seems to lessen the hiss, but its still there...

I'm considering getting a pair of mmgs for my dorm room, and I was thinking of mounting them FLAT against the wall. Since they're so slim and what not, I was going to have my wall full of posters and just have the MMGs blend in with them. Completely stealth audio bliss. Will this work?

I just got my pair of 325is and have been listening to them. Compared to the ms-1s, they are a complete improvement; it sounds like a veil was lifted off and the vocals and music sounds so much smoother and crisper, i'm in love.

They're all coming to me in the mail from various bits and places. 700 odd dollars and a ton of research later, I think I purchased the best system I could have purchased for that price point. Anybody have any comments? I think i'm going to take this place off bookmarks forever and never...

I currently own MS-1s and love the grado sound, i also own Senn 590s and B&O A8s and I think the Grado sound makes you wanna dance. I'm really torn between what amp to get though, because I think that either a MS-2 or 325i is in my future. Its either a Mapletree Ear+ for the tube rolling fun...

Im finally going to splurge around 700 bucks at one time and just get the freaking headphone setup i want and hopefully never look at this site again. Currently, i own these: Sennheiser HD590 (from years ago) B&O A8s and Alessandro MS-1s with vwaps. I've had HD570s in the past, and...

I looked at the specs across the line, and the nominal impedence for grados were 32ohms. Now everybody is saying how the higher end sennheisers with 300ohm impedence or whatever needs more juice, but I dont understand how an amp could help out grados when it looks like it can be driven easily by...

I'm just now getting into headphone amps : I've owned a pair of Sennheiser HD570, Sennheiser HD590s, B&O a8s and finally Alessandro MS-1s with vwaps. I bought the first three with no research whatsoever, and thought I was doing very good despite conflicting reviews on head-fi. Head-fi convinced...
