At work this summer I'm going to be bringing in my Karma for us to listen to music from, but I'm not prepared to listen to my beautifully ripped music through the tape-adaptor-into-80s-boombox setup that seems to be standard fare. I'll probably be leaving them at work as it'd be too much hassle...

Were you walking down Upper Brook Street yesterday afternoon with a pair of SR-series Grados strapped to your head (225s I think, but I wasn't paying attention to grill colour)? Did some nutjob guy grin and nod out of a car window at you? Hi. I was just trying to compliment you on your...

I seem to remember seeing some graphs showing which parts of the frequency spectrum different bitrates of MP3/OGG cut out, but I can't find them in a search. Anyone got a link? Basically they showed the waveform of WAV and then lines on the same graph where half the high treble had been taken...

So I just added the Koss UR40s to my selection of headphone paraphernalia - even though I have all the bases covered between HF-1, DT770 and my selection of portables, I bought them anyway. I've been wanting to try these for a while now, as I absolutely love the sound signature of the KSC-75 and...

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/200...ive_xfi/1.html A very balanced, to-the-point review. While the author may not be up to the uber-audiophilic standard of some of you guys, he clearly knows enough to be able to make a pretty good go at reviewing this card from every perspective. What do...

I was just listening to Ringfinger by NIN and realised just how incredible the backing track on this sounds in headphones. What other tracks just have to be heard through headphones, and lose something with the distancing of speakers?

Recently I've been made aware that not everybody listens to music the same way as I do. I pick an album, and listen to it from start to finish. If I hear a new single/track that I really like, I buy/acquire the album and listen to it from start to finish. This is how I believe most albums (at...

In my boredom I went through the HF-1 threads and pulled out the serial numbers of people who posted them. If you're not on the list, or I got your number wrong post and I'll add you in! The list will only get longer as more people sign up for their slice of history #1 jude #2 jack #3 joe...

Is there any kind of software utility/plugin that will do some kind of crossfeed on a computer without needing hardware? I'd like some way to do it for films etc on my computer between now and when I get my SM3

Hey all, I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a Xin SM3, but I'm just wanting some reassurances that apart from giving me the features I want, this amp will also serve me well with the cans I have. I'll be using this portably and on my desk, so it really has to do it all. So do people...

Vorbis -> Karma -> KSC-75. Total cost: £140. Please don't make me buy more toys. /me runs off

Hey all, wasn't sure whether to put this here, in Portable Audio or in DIY, but thought here was as good a place as any, and I'm sure someone will move it if it's that bad Here's my situation. Basically my Karma's headphone jack is becoming a bit loose, if I knock the connector on my...

Sorry for the long post, if you can't be bothered reading it all just skip to the shortlist and tell me which sounds best, or if there are cans of the same types that sound better Situation: Where I work we are allowed to listen to music on the job, but only with one ear. Yuk, I know, but I...

As title, I'm looking for a headphone amp with more than just one in/one out, for connecting to two soundcards or to a soundcard and my cd player, or for listening to two headphones at the same time. What are my options? Thanks

Mine should arrive tomorrow. They're my first foray into Sennheisers, apart from a PC130 headset a while back that sounded abysmal (worse than a $4 clone I'd bought in the States) and seriously put me off Senns - I'm getting these because I want to have another go, and cos they're such a bargain...

I don't get it. When people complain about Creative cards resampling 44.1KHz audio, what does this mean and what are the effects? And when people rave about foobar2000 having a really good resampler, how is this a good thing whilst the Audigys are committing an horrendous sin? I've had a...

http://www.headphile.com/page16.html Just noticed that the standard Alpha and Beta C-pads have been replaced with new models - any more info on these than what's in the link? Is there no difference to them apart from small ports drilled into the soundboards? And has anyone got a set yet...

OK, I'm lost. I've been reading around like crazy over the last couple of days but now I've reached the point where I just can't get any more information out of other people's questions - I need to ask some of my own. I'm swiftly getting tired of listening to music at mediocre quality, and after...
