I am downgrading a bit, and I have settled on the GS-1 as my only home amp. I love it, but the bass is a little thinner than my Slam was. I am thinking of getting the NAD C542 as a redbook source. Do you think this player will have good enough bass slam to match with my GS-1? Or can you...

I really liked my DT880 when I had it, but they were very hard to drive out of my older, now gone amp! The power has been upped with my new PPX3-Slam, so I'm thinking of getting the newer 2006 model DT880's. Has the sound signature changed that much from the original? Is there a bit more bass slam?

I would like to make a purchase from Meier Audio, but am a bit confused with the ordering process. Do I just pay to the paypal address provided, and give a discription of the item I want! Does it take a long time to deliver to the USA?

I really want to see how other members are enjoying all the different variety of excellent headphone offerings there are out there. If you have 2, 3, or even four or more sets of cans, tell me which ones that you feel are just so special sounding, that you just can never part with them! Please...

I must be losing my mind, but I am trying everything to get my K701's not to distort when I want to raise the volume on my Slam! I spoke with Mikhail on Saturday at the national meet, and he said that the Slam has to much current! I really couldn't spend time discussing this with him, but...

Walking into the doors of the National meet on Saturday brought a big smile to my face, like a kid walking into a toy store! The one thing on my mind was those new triple driver E500's coming out. Right across from the main rooms entrance, was a big Shure banner hanging on the wall! There...

SA5000's!!! After a very long break in period, my SA5000's are smoking everything else that I have in my current stash! The synergy with my Slam is phenomenal. Using a gain tube that is known to have great bass, like the Ken-Rad VT231, together with a nice warm pair of RCA, or Sylvania 5687's...

I can't get any Foobar ASIO plugins to work with my EM-U 0404. I think there is a compatibility issue with my FX-55. Does anyone have the working plugin for this processor?

When I first starting listening to Grados about a year ago, everything was just fine. The channels were balanced nicely, and the Grado sound really started to grow on me. As I got into different brands of headphones, sigtnatures changed, and soundstages widened. Some I listened to for long...

After going into the city on the subway yesterday, and seeing what I saw, I said to myself that I had to let everyone know about this one! Right in front of me a cute girl opens up her bag and pulls out a nice looking Sony portable CDP. All looks normal, except all of a sudden, she takes out...

I ordered a pair of MS-Pros last week, unfortunately, I have to wait at least 3 weeks for the new shipment to come in! I was checking out the specs on both the RS-1, and MS-Pro, and they are identical. Is it safe to say that they both use the same drivers! When I spoke to the Alessandro rep...

After dedicating most of my musical enjoyment to my home setup, I finally decided to get some use out of the large collection of MP3's on my PC. I am very new to setting up a decent PC system, but I have an E-MU 1212M coming in a couple of days! Do I need to get any additional cables? I...

After some hard times, I sold my first Slam, vowing that I would get another one! Well, yesterday I came home to find a delivery attemt from the PO, and it was from Colorada!!! This baby has the BlackGates this time, and the 6sn7 gain socket. They must be doing something right over at...

Can some foobar experts help me to get a really cool foobar setup? I want to see the album art and have my whole MP3 collection right in foobar. No matter what I do, it just doesn't work!

I haven't taken these Koss clips off my ears since I first came home with them yesterday! Things have really tightened up for my poor wallet lately, but I decided to try and put together a little mini system to tide me over until things loosen up! I went out and got an X5 DAP, and a pair...

Lets see, I first bought an MS-1 after joining Head-Fi, and was instantly struck by how wonderful they sounded. I moved along to the MS-2i, and again was amazed at the sound. The bug had hit, and it was a very painfull sting, because I went out and got an RS-1. Fantastic, just a musical...

Speaking strictly about detail, do the 325i's have the best detail out of any other Grado? Most Grados are regarded as being harsh, or to bright, especially the 125, and 325i, but if you wanted a set with awesome detail, but wanted the Grado sound to, can any other top the 325i?

If your not going to watch the Superbowl, what will you be doing instead?

I know, why not just get another RS-1! The fact of the matter is, that I just can't afford one right now, and have a chance at a very good deal on a used RS-2. I am was also very content owning an SR225, so just how much of a difference in quality sound will I lose, as compared to the big brother!

My house is huge, and I know there is an old Senn just buried somewhere! This was my first pair of cans, and all I can remember is that the pads were yellow, and the rest of the thing was black. No metal, just plastic! Was there any other Senns with yellow pads besides the HD414? I sure wish...

My problem is a very similar one, my headphones just don't extend far enough for me. I need a small, 8-10 foot, good headphone extension cable, with an 1/4" adapter on both ends. I don't want anything that will alter the sound in any way, just to extend the signal.

This should be a very short thread, but I just need some info on the way a brand new HD600 feels! I also had a brand new HD650 a few weeks ago, so I was wondering about the differences between the two, as far as build is concerned! When I received my new 650, ther was friction when I...

This is a chance for everyone who prefers the HD600, over the HD650, to express your reasons for staying, or just liking the HD600 better! What are the ups, and downs of each set, according to what you have heard! I am thinking about going back to the HD600, for good this time, and any...

What's up all! I have a decent Denon CDP, the DVD-1920. I would keep it as my main source, but since I have upgraded other components in my system, I feel I can do better! My only concern, is that I like the sound, and wouldn't want to stray away from the sound signature to much. What can...

I just put on a brand new, factory fresh HD650, and I must admit, the cans grabbed my cranium with brute force! But just like my previous set, after a few pulls, not even that hard, they are now sitting comfotably on my head. Either the majority that complain of this death grip, have got...
