Title says most of it. I'm located in Chicago and can meet you or just ship the headphones anywhere, I'll pay a fair price for the work required. The KSC75s should be easy. I have a modded pair with Canare quad star cable that was has come slightly disconnected from it's the terminals in the...

I have some recabled/ultra-kramered KSC75, Kramered Shure e2c, and 600ohm Beyer DT770. I'm listening to Mozart Season, which is a band that does a lot of clean melodic vocals but also does a fair bit of metal screamo stuff. Beyer made voices sound great and the drums had great punch, but...

So, I'm driving my 600 ohm Beyer 770s with a $100 USB DAC (vivid technologies, there's a thread on it...) and it sounds pretty good, but I have a feeling it could be a lot better. The thing is, I'm driving it from my laptop, so I have either USB, spdif, or laptops built in line-out. Will...

So, I'm not familiar with too many classical names, and I was hoping someone could point me to the sort of music they play in movies where at the manor. Just watched the movie '21' tonight, and they have the sort of music i really enjoy at the alumni reunion. Some is played in HellBoy II...

So I don't know too much about DACs and such, so my question is whether a SPDIF coax out and a quality output. I ask because I have a choice of computer to bring to college, either a HP Desktop that has a Chaintech AV710 soundcard with Foobar bitstream enabled, or a 17" HP laptop that has an...

So I think that the last couple of times someone asked for an amp suggestion for the 600 ohm version of these headphones there simply wasn't anyone who could offer experience. But alas, I'm going to make another thread asking again if there is a perfect match for these headphones. If you...

[EDIT: Pro-ject, not Rega!] so, going into College-fi, I'm going to be wanting a good turntable setup. Right now I have an audiotechnica turntable with the stock needle; i'm away from it right now so I can't give exact model numbers, but I recall that it cost $200. I'm using the pre-amp...

Hi all. So, right now I use a relatively cheap USB DAC/amp combo with my BeyerDT770/600ohm, and it sounds pretty good. Awesome with some music (glitchpop, namely, as well as chamber music. *shrug*) but can be very sibilant and harsh with some music. I'm just wondering how good they can...

Hello all, I'm doing an awful lot of research finding a good USB/DAC amp for a newly purchased pair of DT770 600 ohm, and I've stumbled across this modest looking deal with these specs: High power operational amplifier (AD8397) Voltage boost technology Precision virtual ground reference...

Hi there. I've had a Zen Micro for a long time (now it has more battery and 16GB flash) and I'm sticking to it, and I've come along with some work money and and pretty bent on purchasing a BitHead amp and Senn HD-25-1 II. Should I get a DAP with line-out to take advantage of this? or will...

While taking a peek inside my Vaio, I broke a tab that the case slides onto (I doubt there's a way to explain it to help anyone understand) My question is what's the best way to bond plastic and metal with very little surface area? I tried super-glue, but it didn't hold. Maybe I'll upload...

Well, I'd hate to make just another "tell me what headphones to get for Christmas", so I'd like to ask a more general question of headphones that won't leave me wanting to upgrade. So, I'm looking for durability and something that won't leave me thinking "this is nice, but I wish there was...

So, I've gotten tired of sticking the Shures into my ears, and my Grados are out on loan. I've borrowed my dad's QC2s and just wanted to share a few points: They're very comfortable, and the sound is definitely not fatiguing. Wearable for hours. Leather pads may get warm in the summer, but...

Grados are a real treat tonight, for some reason, and I find that half way through a song, I think "Oh! You know what would sound really great right now..." and haven't finished much. I'm not usually much for mixing things up, one of those "album all the way through or not at all" types, but...

Curious about how bowls would sound (I only have comfies) I just took the comfies off, and to my surprise the music sounds much fuller, which is a pretty big deal since these are rockin headphones in the first place. I'm not a master at describing sound signature, but I have to say that...

I'm going to be needing a replacement battery for my Zen Micro. There are a lot of websites out there that cell them and was wondering if anyone has positive or negative experiences with them? I just don't want a fake or something. USBattery seems to have the best price at 16.50. Thanks.

I've been through many MP3 players through the past few years. Samsung Yep 32MB... obsolete Creative MuVo slim 512GB... not a lot of storage, volume button stuck on full blast Creative Micro 5GB... doesn't turn on Sony Vaio Pocket 40GB... really big, starting to fail me (short in headphone...

So, maybe this belongs in the SR60 appreciation thread, but, its been a long long time (before I even had e2cs) since I've listened to Cake, but let me just say ****BBQ!! "Shuf the screw Up" had me tapping my whole body, I don't remember Cake rocking this much @$$

So, I'm a little perplexed, doing lots of searches it seems the consensus is that PA2v2 is a lot of fun and a great amp for SR60, KSC75 and e2c (the headphones I own), and also that Boostaroo amps are utter crap. But, after reading a few more, it was mentioned that the PA2v2 isn't much...

I have a Creative MuVo slim 512MB that I use to love, but since then the volume up button is stuck down so that it works perfectly, but the volume is perpetually maxxed out. I was going to get a PAV2v2 for my Sony rig anyhow, but could I pair it with the MuVo to give new life to it? wouldn't...

So, I may or may not be completely out of luck in the case of a bum pair of e2cs (dud wire) that I sent in for warranty and THEN figured out that the Kramer Mod most likely voids said warranty. However, I just popped the washers out, no dremmeling or drilling, so maybe there's hope on getting...

I've been doing a lot of review reading for my next big headphone purchase with upcoming Christmas money. Right now I own SR-60 and e2c (wire is coming apart, sending it in on warranty soon) and use my Sony Vaio Pocket as my source with LAMEmp3 @ 245kbps on all my music (although, half the...

I use Sonic Stage 4.0, and I ripped all my music in LAME mp3 245 kbps V0 vbr, and there's this oddity I've came across: In my library, going to the properties of the song, it states the correct size of the file, but states the bit rate at 128kbps, and when I transfer the song to my Pocket Vaio...

I have Grado SR-60s which I really like, except for transportable use (which I do use them for) I have Shure e2cs which I like to, isolation is great I'm thinking about at least selling the Grados, buying the Ksc75 and just saving the money, *maybe* buy a Pav2 or something or should I...

So, I'm having somewhat of a half-assed little breakdown over my music, because a lot of my songs were transferred to my sony player in ATRAC 64kbps and... I didn't notice! and im just really bummed about it, because I had a little pride in appreciating quality over my friends, and I still do, I...
