The different aspects of hearing are taught in high school. Selective hearing is the part related to the morning syndrome you're talking about. Just because there is a sound, and you hear it, does not mean you are "listening" to the total auditory spectrum it may contain or even capable of it...

I'm new to DIY cable but in my opinion 3/4 " cheapo 3-1 shrink works just as good as the more expensive kinds if you take your time. It's big enough to go around the connectors and shrinks down perfectly and tightly onto coax or starquad... I'd say it actually shrinks down into maybe a...

Oooo what's the point of not showing the nice bling on the ends?

When you guys make up a new cable can you throw up the specs on the stuff you used and the length and maybe a quick comment on the performance..? I see some posts that have this info., and some that don't. There might be some others like me who want to emulate the great work you guiys are doing...

WoW Some people just got way too much money and free time 8 )

WoW you guys are awesome... I read this stuff and look at these pics every day. Keep them coming! I'm working up the nerve(and cash) to try some audio and video cables for my 1014tx, sacd, etc.

I had some super bright earbuds from my Yepp YP-700 Mp3 player... they drove me to look for better 8 )

What I do that works so well I should have it patented is... Drop my Grados off my ears for 3 seconds and listen too my wife... yep 3 seconds, then when I flip the headphones back on... the world just seems right again 8 )

I vote Grados 8 ) SR-60 or 80 with great sound and won't break your wallet.

Grado 60 love...

Keep in mind these guys are sonic supernerds, constantly nitpicking at such and such and maybe forgetting the enjoyment factor a bit... I have the 60's and absolutely love them. Price, performance, comfort(radio shak pads $3)... to spend the amount of cash for the difference these guys "think"...

I've tried nickel and quarter modding some RS pads and like them just the way they were so I went back to plain RS. But I did try to take the discs off the sides and ended up breaking the plastic grills(I got bearclaws for hands)... so I had to decapitate the cups and replace the grills with my...

Uhh that would be social suicide in my town..

*raises hand*

So did you guys remove the round SR60"pin" on the sides? I am considering it and will try with a pair of plyers if you guys really think its worth it...plus they look stupid 9 )

I got Klipsch 5.1 on the puter and I love them! Had the 4.1's first till the amp blew, but it introduced me to "real" sound. Before them I was one of the zombies that thought cheapo headphones and crapola speakers were fine. Now I'm a sound-junkie, can't handle crap sound from anything anymore...

Nice read.. I had too go with the RS cheapo's though since it right by my house 8 ) They may be cheap but dang did they do the trick! Sound is noticeably improved and they feel much nice on the ears...

HCM Audio they are going for $69 including shipping and an extention cable...

1 Sinatra 2 Sting (voice is outstanding, songs..not so much)

Norah Jones - Nightengale Pretty much anything she sings can make you all giddy like a little kid.. she's babelicious.

Movies, HQ digital audio, portable PS2 games... mmmmm me like. Hopefully they pair nicely with some Grados and put me into a euphoric coma.
