I own the ety er6is they are comfotable (but then that is very personal with IEMs) and come with a tavel case. http://www.headphone.com/guide/by-he...otic-er-6i.php Welcome to Head-fi, sorry about your wallet. Jon

If it is to be in September and I am to host (or attend) it will be SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 17TH 1300 HOURS AT IPODPHILE'S (JON'S) PLACE IN UPTOWN MINNEAPOLIS Let's see what people say and then we can confirm, otherwise I am booked to October. To keep this relativley simple please...

To bring them closer to your ears just bend the headband, it is metal under the vinyl (don't crease it though, so apply equal pressure to both sides). To reduce shrillness let them play for awhile. The others mentioned "burn in" this is a fancy "audiophile" term that means let the drivers loosen...

Sorry guys I really screwed this one up. I have gotten so busy at work that I haven't been to head fi in a long time. Thanks Mr Radar for the email, otherwise I would not have realized what I have done. So, obviously today would have worked, and I just missed it. Is there another date...

I am glad to see there is interest. I think this will be fun. Just to throw this out there how do people feel about Sun the 4th of September? If that doesn't work, let us know what does. Thanks. Jon

I say the RS1s only because you say rock. When I think rock I think RS1 (Grado) when I hear classical I think Senn 650. IMHO you should go with the RS1s. I think you will be happier. I think the Senns will be too veiled and laid back for what you want to listen to. If you are listening to...

Just noticed I have 66 posts. That is an unlucky number so here is 67! BUMP!

I listen to my Wintel laptop with my Senn HD555 out of a Total Airhead fed by an Creative Audigy 2 PCMCIA A better solution sonically would be the Total Bithead. How can you argue with the simplicity and wonderful sound that results? It's portable too! Jon

Happy Birthday Tyll!!! Thanks for a great year. I know this next one will be even better. Take some time off and relax as soon as you are able...you deserve it!

P the D - I don't have a parakeet but you are welcome to come even if it is just me and my roomates (they aren't head fi'ers but neither are any parakeets that I know of) So far I have 1, P the D, any other takers?

Old Pa is right, I mean I forgot about this thread and I posted in it! So I will put this open invitation to anyone who would like to have a mini-meet...we can have it at my house in Uptown (South) Minneapolis. Anyone interested just email me @ jonathan.hoover@gmail.com or of course post...

WOW that Echo io 2 channel card looks great! Thank you dougwx12 for making me aware of that, I will go to Guitar Center tomorrow to look at it. Anything else like this? I guess I just doubled my budget, sorry about your wallet indeed.

Is it possible to get a balanced pair of Grado RS1s? For use with my new HeadRoom Max Balanced with Max DAC from Naim CDX2 and Cardas Golden Reference Digital Coax.* *Maybe I should sell my car and all my other "toys" and just take the bus to work and school and come home and relax with...

I am looking for a PCMIA soundcard so I can use my laptop as a source again. I broke the headphone jack. I am looking, as most of us are, for the most bang for the buck. This will not be used very often, just once in awhile. I am willing to spend around $100. I have only looked at the...

ENTRY: Yes I realize it is too late but just for fun...we should vote on a computer background/wallpaper designed by a Head-Fier and inspired by Grados shameless request: if it could be availible in 1024 x 768 I would appreciate it. Unless someone knows where I can find this wallpaper?

You know you are a truly obsessed headphone geek (sorry Tyll) when you are looking more at the cans* than the girl. But yeah, no idea what they are, on a side note, anyone know where I could find a similar style pic but with Grados? *sorry, bad pun

I think this is exactly what I have been looking for. Recently I have found myself listening to more music through my 4 year old Sony D-F200 than through my iPod. I am almost sure it sounds better than the iPod. Can anybody confirm that the D NE10 sounds better than the D-F200 and the iPod? That...

So just to clarify: We now have the AE-1, HeadRoom Micro, RSA SR 71 and Hornet in $300-$400 range? This is going to be a great Christmas, man did I find the right hobby at the right time!

I wholeheartedly agree with the replies so far. From experience in the dorm room I will say that I (and my roomate) would have been much happier with the Shure e4(c) than I was with the Grado SR60. Although I love the SR60 and still listen to them a great deal, if I only had one set of...

An amp, well a good amp, will improve dynamics (the difference between loud and soft), definition, and add a weight or fullness to the music. For your cans try an Airhead or Total Airhead from HeadRoom. They have a 30 day return policy so if you don't like what you hear send it back. Welcome...

I assume the option is for what part of the world you live in 110 for US and 220 for Europe, I think For your situation the desktop module would be better, it sounds better but sucks up batteries

In the August/September issue # 155 of The Absolute Sound Robert Harley reviews the Simpl A1, The HeadRoom Total Bithead, Meier-Audio Porta Corda, and the Grado RA-1. Great to see some more publicity for our hobby! He also states that next issue there will be a survey of headphones. For...

Well, it wouldn't be quite as big a deal if I were going. But as I said my buddy is going to be there and has little to no intrest in headphones, his only experience with the Grados is something like "Hey, Jon we can hear what you are listening to, you mind turning that down?" He would be doing...

That would be great if he answered. Or would it? Mister Grado (by the way this is a good place to ask, is it pronounced Grado with a long a as in Gray or Grado with a short a as in Grotto?) I would like to send someone over to have you sign the box that my headphones came in. Would you be around...

I am just wondering out loud if anyone who designs Bose stuff has ever come across Head Fi, I mean they have had to. Late one night come home from work, angry because the probably decent product you designed for the $10 budget Bose gave you turned out to be grossly overpriced and manufactured...
