I am helping a hallmate of mine find a headphone, but he's hard of hearing on the left side. We're interested in a headphone experience that will provide a stereo sound for one ear. A conversion of the sound from stereo to mono would accomplish this, but a balance dial would not, because that...

Just got back from CSA Audio in Montclair, NJ. Researching turntables, mainly, but got to hear some speakers, too. Dynaudio Temptations, driven by an Accuphase amp... very cool speakers; stellar smoothness and transparency. I didn't do enough of a listen on those to make any further...

I got the 225s a few days ago, and just noticed that the wires going into the housings are loose--I'm able to push them in a ways. Honestly, I can't remember whether they were like this upon initial inspection, but I am sure that nothing has happened to them other than wearing them. There are no...

Ahoy! http://www.audiocubes.com/product_in...roducts_id=421 The fact that the output is 8mW/channel seems interesting... do you folks think that the sound would be better that way? Or is it just more power but not necessarily better quality? It seems like a good value. Any ideas on this...

Wow... what a place. Inside Yale's "regular" library (an awesome place) is a music library. It is full of an extraordinary collection of printed music, and, of greatest importance to you headphone folks: ROWS OF PERSONAL LISTENING STATIONS -- MARANTZ CD PLAYERS WITH GRADO SR-60s!! These...

Ahoy! I'm interested in hearing what you folks have to say about the musical quality of headphones. This is aside from the "technical" aspects such as precision (sound quality). My reason for asking is my recent evaluation of a friend's Bose QuietComfort noise-filtering 'phones. They were...

This looks like a nice soldering iron for small electronics work, like building a CMoy, which is my plan, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with it. Seems like a good value, though the tip is not included, plus the stand and sponge would be good. What are the recommended irons...

I've read a bit from some of you folks about how great the PAL is... I was wondering whether it would, besides providing a great source, also be a good "amp" (or at least a better one than a normal portable. If one were to put it between the line out of a PCDP and the headphones, that would...

Ahoy! I'm leaning towards a purchase of the Sennheiser HD 497s and the HeadRoom AirHead. Are there any drawbacks to this combination, or do you folks think they'd be good together?
