    VSONIC GR07 Impressions Thread

    VSONIC has still not responded to me about replacing the small metal clip that holds the mesh in.

    VSONIC GR07 Impressions Thread

      Quote:   I have not received a response from VSONIC yet. I don't want to use my headphones without the mesh on there. Ear wax in the driver doesn't sound like a great idea.

    VSONIC GR07 Impressions Thread

      Quote:   I lost the retaining clip. It shot out of my tweezers, hit my forehead and disappeared. I emailed Vsonic and asked for a replacement. Hopefully they will come though. If not, I will have to try and make one.

    VSONIC GR07 Impressions Thread

    I was listening to mine today and the left side was barely audible. I changed the balance on my ipod to correct it but I think the left side is clogged with wax. How can I clean them out?   EDIT: Well, I figured out how to remove the mesh and clean it. Everything went well with the left but...

    Schiit Owners Unite

    I just received my Bifrost and Lyr this week for my AKG k702's. Being both my first dedicated Dac and headphone amp, I am blown away by the sound. I'll have to start tube rolling soon too!

    Schiit DACs (Bifrost and Gungnir down, one to go)? The information and anticipation thread.

    The bifrost+lyr+AKG 702's is sounding amazing! As my first dedicated Dac and amp, I couldn't be happier.

    Just purchased Schiit Lyr and Bifrost!

    I received the Bifrost and the Lyr today! They sound amazing compared to my computer's audio out and the Marantz. Even using the Lyr as a preamp for my speakers sound great. I do have a question about the Bifrost. I am using USB to connect it. In my playback devices, I have a digital option...

    Just purchased Schiit Lyr and Bifrost!

    I finally caved and purchased the Schiit Lyr and Bifrost. I currently have AKG k702's which run off of a Marantz 2252. I notice a drastic sound quality improvement as the volume increases to detrimental levels.    I will be doing a co-op at Cisco for the next 6 months and figured I can now...

    K701 thread

    Just received a used par from ebay. I'm running them off my Marantz 2252 and they sound amazing compared to the 240mkii's. Much more comfortable too. I'll have to try out some vinyl with these.

    Bicycle-Fi!

    Quote: A similar thing happened to me when I started running in vibrams. I went on easy runs for a while, but as soon as I up'ed my distance, the top of my foot started getting bad pains. I took it easy for a while and now I can run my normal distances just fine in them.   Best of...

    Bicycle-Fi!

    I ended up purchasing a 2012 Trek Fuel EX 8 for $1700 after taxes and shipping. I went with the Matt Ti color. I should get the bike in about 2 weeks!   I can't wait to hit the trails around San Luis Obispo!   In the meantime, I'll just have to continue road biking to curb my impatience.

    Bicycle-Fi!

      Quote:   Thanks, I think someone else also recommended the superfly 100. I am probably going to end up spending around $1750 after the discount. And it seems like the discount prices were about 40% lower than msrp.

    Bicycle-Fi!

    I've been road biking since this summer and joined my school's bike club. Our club gets a really good discount at a local bike shop on trek bikes/bontrager gear a couple of times each year. The order has to be in 2 weeks from now.    I am looking to get a nice full suspension mountain bike...

    Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners

    Quote: How good is the receiver at powering the 701's compared to lets say a Schiit LYR?

    Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners

    I really love the sound my Marantz 2052 has when powering my AKG 240mkii's. But, I was thinking about upgrading to k701's or k702's. How well could my receiver power them?

    How would a tube amp fit into my setup?

    Hm, I am rethinking the tube amp idea. I have been considering selling my 240mkii's and upgrading to the k701 or k702's. I will start a new thread with questions about powering those. Thanks for the help!

    Getting "called-out" for not wearing the Beats

    I go to California Polytechnic in San Luis Obispo. I see at least 1 pair of Beats every time I walk from one to another on campus. I just want to facepalm every time. I rock my AKG 240mkii's and my vsonic gr07's!

    How would a tube amp fit into my setup?

    I am thinking about purchasing a Little Dot tube amp and I am curious how I would fit it into my setup. My current setup is a Marantz 2252 receiver that powers my homemade speakers and my AKG 240mkii headphones. For a source I either use my turntable to the phono input of my computer to the tape...

    Comment by 'BlueAlien' in article 'Bioeq Rockbox'

    Im finding that the compressor is creating a crackle or hiss at higher frequencies through my Yuin Pk1's and VSONIC GR07's.

    Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners

    I built some speakers this summer and found that my Marantz 2015 couldn't power them, so I purchased a Marantz 2252. I love the sound of it through both my headphones and speakers. I have yet to hear better sound through my headphones than when I drive them with my 2252.

    Amplifier for AKG K240 mkII

    I only have the PAV2V2 and the 240mii's so that is the only one I can recommend. I really like the sound I get from it through my 240's. It was only $60 directly from Gary at http://www.electric-avenues.com/audio8.html but you can pick one up slightly cheaper on ebay.

    The PA2V2 Thread

    I'm loving the sound that I'm getting from my amp. Gary is an awesome guy. I'm majoring in Electrical Engineering, thinking about going into Audio electrical engineering and Gary awn sered all the questions I had about the field. Recommended the amp to a friend who is going to buy it as well.
