    JVC marshmellow help

    So I have done some light google searching and yeah there are some results on replacement tips for marshmellows but nothing specific to my concern. I have always had problems with inner ear headphones popping out. Even just sitting around. I don't think I have large ears, they seem like they go...

    Paul Gilbert - Silence Followed By a Deafining Roar

    Anyone else picked this up? Comments. If your even slightly a fan of instrumental guitar music pick this up. I like it better than his last release Get out of My Yard (which was excellent as well). The whole album flows nicely. It is probably the best effort to come out of the guitar...

    AKG k240 50th Anniversary...anyone else have them, impressions?

    I just got these yesterday and have been giving them a quick listen. One thing that bugged me is I could never find a legit spec list for them (maybe should search harder). The spotty references I have found say these are a 55ohm can so I expected more of a k240 studio sound but I was wrong...

    Koss pro35A mod...akg'd, basshead, etc.

    Inspired by the current sale radioshack is running on these I figure I should share my mod. I did like the pro35A (titanium) very much even before the mod (stock). I prefered them to the ksc75 and sportapros I have. Anyways, I wanted to try them out at the gym (I originally got them for...

    Found my headphone holy grail last night...AKG...???

    k240 sextets They are as I have read...the kings of the 240 line. In the little time I listened to them last night. I think these may be the "be all / end all" for me. I was running them through my DIY DB millet with FK6s last night. Today I will try my AE6 DB millet. Anyways...

    AKG k240m vs Grado HF1 through millets (quick impression)

    So over the past few months, quite a few headphones have come and gone and I am finally narrowing in on the ones I really like. I have taken to the 20 year old k240m's that I got off the bay and refurbed. The silky akg mids are very well intact. Compared to most of the other phones I had heard...

    AKG 501s or AT ATH-A700s? Ok well I am in the mood to try out some new cans lately and my wallet is extended for headphone purchases. I recently upgraded from sr80s to sr225s and now I have some new hd595s burning in right now. My quick impressions: beyer dt990s: very comfy, nice bass...

    Guitar Resurrection Project

    Just thought I would share my guitar project since it is zipping along now: So ever since I got my ibanez about 5 years ago my strat clone has laid by the waste side in pieces. I got the guitar in 94' when I first started learning how to play. The neck was shot from learning how not to adjust...

    Regards to the HF1s on Ebay (...this thread will magically disappear)

    Why are the Forum mods continually wiping all existence of the Threads regarding the HF1s that are now on ebay? That is a disservice to the community and what the HF1s are about. You have a private listing now on ebay because this guy was aware that we would inform his bidders that they were...

    Hip Hop Fans: Another solid album from PUTS

    Just picked up People Under the Stairs "Stepfather" on my lunch break today. I am listening to it right now. Of course as I expected...PUTS did not disappoint. It is tough to follow up 'OST'...that album is in my top three favorite Hip Hop albums. There was 'Or Stay Tuned' but that was a teaser...

    Joe Satriani: Super Colossal

    I am a huge instrumental guitar rock fan ala Vai and Satriani. That's the main reason I am into music and have played guitar for the last 10 years or so. I have seen Satriani in concert 3 times and once at G3. I would have to say after the last two album offerings I wasn't to excited. Past all...

    Sad, sad, day...Queen Song Butchery for the masses.

    Wow...I don't watch the show American Idol but I heard that they were doing Queen tonight. I tuned in for the massacre and after Bohemian Rhapsody that's all I can take. No one should be aloud to do that song. As for the Simon Cowell...I was under the impression that he gave the most critical...

    Any tube amp gurus out there? Are there any books, instructional videos out there that teach the proper safety methods of tube amp service and repair? Other than by trade or under the guidance of a seasoned professional how would someone learn this? I have had a pignose gv40 guitar tube...

    Whoally Gradodynamics Batman...c-pads rule!

    I just got my c-pads today in the mail from Larry at Headphile (I practically had to cut them out of the mailbox becuase the box was such a snug fit...thats the problem with those back loading mailboxes....the door makes the opening just tad smaller). Anyways I quickly installed them on my...

    Thinking of going vinyl all the way!

    I have been incredibly impressed with my grado red cartridge I purchased for my stanton str8-100 turntable. All my vinyl has been given new life. I realized how much better vinyl can be vs. cd. I picked up pink floyd - darkside of the moon and was in complete awe. Then a couple of days ago...

    Bass Burn In on Grados?

    Well I have had my Grado SR80s for 6 days now and I probably have put about 80 hours or more of burn in on em. I usually burn in overnight with a different album/genre each night. I have pumped a decent amount of bass heavy music through em including electrinica and hip hop (of course tons of...

    What's the best cartridge for your buck?

    I have a set of scratch cartridges and I know I am missing out a little bit in terms of "Fi" . What is the best bang for your buck cartridge for pure listening pleasure? I have been looking at the black, green and blue grado carts. How are those? Any other companies/carts to take a look at? Thanks.

    Wow Grados and Vinyl play really well together.

    Wow I feel that my vinyl collection has a new voice now. My SR80s are singing nicely...I can't stop putting on records. Now I have to find an inexpensive way to clean my records.

    Guitar Center deal on Beyer DT770 pro-80s

    This looks to be a decent deal at Guitar Center. I saw this in the AD they sent me for their weekend sale: Get 2 DT770Pro-80s for $299 ("Buy 2 and get an extra $100 off our everyday price - plus a free headphone amp") Free amp looks to be a PreSonus HP4 4 channel which they sell for $99...

    PA2V2 gettin on nerves

    Man this PA2V2 is gettin on my nerves...its been like 4 days I have been running it for at least 10 hours a day probably 12 since I run it while I have been burning in my dt990s. I probably have about 40-45 hours on it. I know NiMH batteries aren't "supposed" to develop memory but I like to...

    How long to burn in before critiquing new Grados'?

    I just got my SR80s today. About how long do you think I should wait before I really start critiquing them. They still sound a bit grainy. It seems that the hint of scratchy/distortion I heard right off is still here but slightly subdued over the few hours I have had them running. Maybe its just...

    Anyone have "richest man in babylon" cd - Theivery Corperation

    I just got the cd a few days ago and I am looking for confirmation if I have a flawed cd or its just the recording on track 9 - "exilio (exile)": the vocal passages 1:22-1:34 and in other places are obviously distorted and have a blip or slight hic-up which is also in a few other parts of...
