Hey Jan I'm looking for an amp to use with some HD600's primarily as well as other assorted headphones (a couple beyers, an akg and 2 koss'). I'm planning on using my computer as a source and was wondering what, in your opinion, would be the better way to go: this Headfive and a cheap...

I just received my Archos Gmini 400 ordered online through hotmp3gear.com Great little player.

Has anybody in Canada been able to find them at retail stores? So far I've checked the FutureShop in downtown Vancouver and a couple Rat Shacks. No luck thus far.

Just noticed that these are heavier too. KSC35 = 0.7 oz KSC50 = 1.0 oz KSC75 = 1.5 oz Hmm... so much for them being less bulky than the 50's. Maybe they have thicker or better clips.

Was just browsing the Koss website, all ready to bite the bullet and order the KSC35s when lo and behold i noticed this: Koss KSC75 Looks more like the 35s than the 50s. I didn't notice any threads when I did a search so these must be fairly new. I don't suppose anybody's given them a...

Try Cyrus Chestnut's version. It's still a Charlie Brown Christmas but Chestnut has made little changes here and there to add his own influence to it. The overall feel is still the same and it's recorded much better.

Hope you don't mind but I've joined your league. It's my first fantasy Hockey league (have ran a couple basketball ones before) and should be fun. Looking forward to the season.

It's true, not many people know the true world of hip hop. Most see the Nelly's, the Jay Z's etc of the world and think it's hip hop. If anything, I'd call that Rap (although I'm much more inclined to call it cRap), but I definitely wouldn't call it Hip hop. It's too bad that that is what...

Wow, all this talk of RPG's and not one mention of the Baldurs Gate series. BG 2 is one of my favorites ever. I absolutely love the team dynamics and how it would change depending on the character you had. Minsc and Boo were absolutely hilarious. Strongly agree with Star Control 2. The cd...

Speaking of Blackalicious, if you can try and listen to Alphabet Aerobics. Truly amazing song. Try downloading it off Kazaa or Winmx and enjoy.

Im a personal big fan of early Wu Tang stuff. Favorite album would have to be Wu Tang Forever. I don't know if it's your style but it has smooth lyrics (except for a couple tracks with ODB) with very melodic edgy beats. A great blend. Other CD's OutKast: Aquemini Roots: The Roots come...

Last of the Mohicans Great movie, better soundtrack. If you haven't seen the movie yet, see it. The musical score is so moving, especially during the climax of the movie. I highly recommend to anyone.

I've got an older Cosmic (pre-2001 models) right now going through my computer at work. I have a HD 600 and recently got a new Beyer DT250 80. During lunch break yesterday, I left my Beyers burning in through my cosmic at a fairly high volume. When I came back, I noticed there was a slight...

Another question to throw in the mix... Can/will the Panasonic SL CT570 drive the 250 ohm versions of either of these headphones to a respectable sound quality/level? I plan on getting a closed pair for portable use but I do have an old cosmic for home use. Or should I just stick to the DT...

Quote: Originally posted by Snufkin FYI; if you find the coiled cable to be a nuisance you can get a straight cable to replace it. Quick Question. Is this an aftermarket replacement cable (like the cardas, equinox, etc for hd600) or is it just a straight replacement cable from...

How about some of the other Beyers? More specifically the DT831's DT231's and the DT 770's. How do these fare in comparison to the 3 already listed?

Thanks guys! Looks likes Beyers it is. On a further note, how hard are the DT250 250's to drive? As I might be considering a truly portable amp in the near future, I'd like to sorta plan ahead. Would the pcdp be able to drive them at all or would they just be unbearable? Also, what would the...

After running a number of searches and reading a number of posts, I'm still undecided on my next headphone purchase. Here is the criteria for my headphones. 1.) Closed. I need them for portable use and need them to block out noise. Right now I've been using the Koss KSC 35 for this but it...

For all you guys reading this thread, I was thinking of getting a Vancouver area headphone meet somtime. I've made a post at the meetings forum so head on down and include yourself. I don't really know any details other than it'll happen sometime I hope. Thanks...

Im a huge fan of the older Wu-tang material but the newer stuff just doesn't do it for me. Their first 2 albums were great, especially Wu-Tang Forever. 36 Chambers had that really rough and raw sound that will never be replaceable but the slight refinement in Forever, along with the wicked...

Not through the VCR, through an A/V Receiver. Sorry for the confusion. I personally don't do this because I have a new TV with enough inputs for my DVD, VCR, GameCube™ and PS2 so that I never have to disconnect one to connect another. But a friend of mine has an older ~circa 1993 TV that only...

^ What he said. Also, some receivers do video switching in which case you could run the dvd into the receiver (As well as your VCR, video game consoles, etc...) and from the receiver to the TV. That still limits your options as to what the TV can handle but at least it's a little more...

I think the first step would be to give us your budget. There's plenty of good equipment at almost every price point so it's hard to give suggestions on what to get. Also, you haven't explicitly stated what you are looking for. Are you looking to upgrade the receiver or just the main speakers or...

No problem. If you go to the search function in the message boards and use 'Paradigm' and 'Border' as your key words, you'll find a bunch of other posts as well. Some of them even list some typical prices you can expect for different speakers. Out of curiosity, what are you looking to get?

Calanctus: I don't personally have any experience with buying in Canada and bringing it back to US but you can check this link here. In fact this site is a great place to find out information about speakers. But anyways, that first link is someone in a similar situation as yours...
