I met Ryan Howard of the Phillies outside of Citizens Bank Park when I went to buy tickets on my lunch hour. He is one big dude, but was very friendly and signed an autograph for me.

I don't know if this was mentioned but another reason a seller uses a low price such as $1.00 with inflated shipping is so they don't have to pay ebay as much for the final value fee. The final ebay fee is based on the sale price not including shipping. Sellers like these use ALL the angles.

I was lucky enough to snag a pair of the HF-1's last Saturday and am happy to report that I received them today !!! As soon as I can clear off my desk I am out of here to burn these baby's in. Hopefully, others will post their first impressions. Big thanks to Todd for doing this in spite of...

The need for an amp was explained to me in very simple terms as follows: We have all taken an IPOD, car stereo, hand held radio, etc and turned the volume all the way up. What you get is loud sound levels but also a lot of distortion. Thats because the sources amp was using close to 100% of its...

I recently purchased an amp to use with the SR-225's and Sony discman. When I set my discman to maximum volume then use the amp to dial in the volume, there is slight but audible distortion in the high frequency range. When I set the discman to about 90% max it goes away, but I understand that...

Thanks for all the reply's thus far Will the 325's overpower the bass. I want good balance. I am intrigued by the HF-1's. What is their sound characteristics? Should I just go for the RS-1's and be done with it or are there still other options?

This is a great forum. I recently got back into cans after a 20 year hiatus, but have always appreciated hi-fidelity. I have the sr-80's & sr-225's running both with/without an amp and here are my quick impressions. The sr-80's sound more upfront and detailed with vocals & strings, which...
