Hello all,  I recently moved into College down at ISU. With regards to music, I have my iHome alarm clock that has speakers, but I'm looking for  something more, specifically, desktop speakers. Obviously they can't be incredibly expensive, or large.  My friend said he could get me Harmon...

Hello! I'm looking for an amp for my Alessandro MS2i's. I would like it to be a desktop amp, and an amp and DAC all together.  My price range is under $200. It doesn't matter whether it's tube or SS, i just don't want to have to buy any extra parts to make it run. Obviously it must have a...

I'm looking into buying a rather entry level tube amp. I've heard both the EF2A and the Little Dot are good candidates, but I'm not sure which one to choose.  Are there any striking differences between the two amps that should sway my decision either way? Such as, will I need any extra...

Hoodie Allen's new EP 'All American' just dropped, has anyone copped it yet? I'm so shocked, surprised and proud that he reached #1 on the iTunes charts for Hip-Hop, and overall. Musically, I think this is his strongest work yet, incredible lyrics and only original compisitions.  Any other...

I just want to see if anyone out there loves raw denim as much as I do! Right now I'ma bout 6 months into a pair of Super Skinny Levi stretchs'  That elastic in them makes the fades and cuts take so much longer to come in, but they're starting to look really cool. the only bad part, I spilled...

I'll start off by saying that I know nothing about amps, so excuse all of the questions. I've been looking into buying an amp, and for my price range, the EF2A came up, it's exactly what I'm looking for, a small-ish desktop tube amp, now, let the questions begin.  Can I simply run ipod, to...

I'll start off by saying this, I know nothing about amps.  I'm going to be getting an MS-2i in the near future and I obviously want to amp it properly. It doesn't need to be portable, desk top is fine. My only other requirement is that it is rather inexpensive, comparatively speaking. About...

Out of sheer curiosity, what got you into Audiophilia?  How did you get started with this hobby, erm... I mean, lifestyle? 

I love listening to his music on the internet, but I really want too get a copy of his music for portable usage and such. Does anyone know any retailers that would sell his music? Seein' how he recorded back in the '30's it might be a little difficult. If anything, a place to acquire his music...

So I realize that iTunes EQ sucks, a lot. They distort they sound and all that whatnot, but I would like to give my bass frequencies a slight boost. How do I go about doing this? Is there an option in iTunes where I can slide that and store it on my ipod, or do I need to download a completely...

I've had 'A Flash Flood of Colour' for a few days now and I love it. What are your thoughts?  Right now my fav tracks are: Warm Smiles Do Not Make You Welcome Here Sssnakepit Arguing With Thermometers 

So I want to build a cmoy amp.  I have little to no experience in regards to electronics, but I do know how to solder as I have modded my Grado sr80i's. I realize the amp is not necessary for these cans but I still want to make one, just for kicks. Besides the usual 'read the website, read...

I have the sr80i's and I'm looking to upgrade my pads, this is almost a must for me. I keep on reading about people debating between the Bowls, Flats and how crappy the regular comfies are. (I think? Haha) I'm looking for a little more bass and an increase, or at least not a decrease, in the...

The rings around my sr80i's that say 'The prestige series' and 'Grados Labs' fell off, and the paint is worn thin on the lettering. Does anyone have any ideas for something that I could replace those with? I was thinking either a thin wooden veneer or maybe some decorative plastic.  If...

Does anyone know of any good ways to mod sr80i ear pads? I've seen people wrap tape around them, but I don't think that'd do anything for comfort.  Or would it be a better idea just to buy replacement pads?  I just want them to be a little more comfortable, while not looking ridiculous. ...

I for sure want to replace the back grills of my sr80i's, where the buttons are, I want kind of a mesh type material, but more durable then screening from a door. Does anyone have good suggestions for something like this? I've heard covers for computer fans look good, too bad I don't have any...

On numerous sites selling silver speaker wiring, or something similar, I see in the description that it's either 2, 4, 6, 8 or whatever amount of braided strands. Obviously the more strands, the more expensive.  Do the amount of strands really make a different, or is it simple durability of...

I've heard about a lot of people adding Blu-Tak or something similar to the inside of their cups to enhance sound clarity. For this mod do you only cover the driver magnet, or the entire inside of the bowl?  And does the thickness matter, in regards to brightness and depth of the sound?  ...

I hate to sound stupid, but I have a few basic questions on the materials needed to mod my Grados sro80i's. I'm pretty new at this if you can't tell.   I want to make the cord into a single detachable cable, but I'm not sure as to what materials, and the sizes of plugs and jacks that I will...

So I just bought myself a pair of sr80i's and I want to turn the Y cable into a single detachable cable on my right side.  Could anyone explain the logistics of this or point me in the right direction? I have the basic idea how to do it, just not the specifics Thanks a lot!
