Well, all I can say is that I am glad for a second shot at these cans. I missed out the first go around because of a deployment to Iraq.   Long time member and lurker who doesn't post all that much. 

  I would be all over a feasible steampunk style quality amp.    Maybe I need to take a brass metalworking class.

IRT to snake oil and cables the best advice I have ever read was here...   http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm   ....after that it's going to a hypothetical formula ratio that I believe is unique to each individual and is something along the lines of sum = critical monetary impact...

Energizer Ultimate Lithium AAA is all I use for my airhead. The E2 is alkaline which is normally respectable but you should get better mileage out of any lithium battery. Rechargeables drive me up the wall.

I'm itching to get back home. My wife bought me some re-pressings of "The Smiths" vinyl. My wife had previously bought me one of those Sony $100 turntables but I'm yearning for something a little more and I have an eye on a Grado cartridge. I have an old flagship Yamaha DSP-1000 amp, hook up...

Those are looking real comfy.

I have a set of SR-60s as well. I've head em for 3 years and enjoy their sound. No issues. I'm tinkering with the idea to mod em just because. Throw a nice leather band and do something different with the bowls. I like the open bowl idea. Maybe make some deep wood bowls (an couple...

I own Senn HD600s and Gardo SR60s and don't have issues. On the flip side I've heard people express concern regarding this issue and with my experience I've never had any issues with any headphones. Have you really ever worn a set that caused issues? I say this because I do have a large...

I have a keen interested in this subject although I think my budget can go up a little higher. One of the options I was looking at was the Yuin PK3. Anyone have an opinion on those? They are on sale for $39 from Head Direct.

I hear the difference between a LOD and a normal headphone jack line out.

I saw this earlier & was sooooo tempted.

Blondie Parallel Lines & self titled album Remastered CDs.... Actually I still have those on vinyl.

Cripes. BATHORY. Can't forget them. I think I'll get epiphanies the next week or so on this subject.

Although briefly listed in ezkcdude post I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned Celtic Frost. Morbid Tales, Emperor's Return, To Mega Therion By the way there are some great albums in ezkcdude's post. Great , great stuff. One of the very first shows I went to was Celtic Frost...

Raffle Bump. Very nice....thinking about taking the jump.

I have to admit I've really enjoyed this thread. I do alot of traveling. Post # 50 has nothing to worry about. I carry ALOT of connectors, wires, and other things that sometimes gets a couple passes through the x-ray machine. My carry on has been inspected a couple times but its all good to...

Drooling for a set of these.

Long time lurker and reader. There should be a rule if you dont have 5 posts....along the lines if your account is 2+ years old your good to go.

I have read about the iPod minis scratching really easy but I do not know if people are referring to the body of the mini or the screen. If the screen is scratching easily I would use clear 3M contact paper. You can purchase it at any home décor store. It’s used to line kitchen cabinets and I...
