I think he isn't sure what the Geek is. Google Geek awesomfier, it's a DAC/amp that was kickstarter funded a couple weeks back

I think it's the GEEK but I could be wrong

Can somebody post a pic of the 9927s with the ridges shaved off?

Well you could always make some ear molds like a couple people did in this thread. You could either get Radian kit or sugru and follow the steps on the thread a while back

X1s uncomfortable  These are literally the most comfortable phones I have ever put on my head The pads are incredible and the headband is great

Anybody wanna try a $45 amp? The seller sells some other legit stuff so who knows, could be awesome   http://www.ebay.com/itm/HA-INFO-mini-ear-Headphone-Amplifier-TI-TPA6120A2-for-HIFI-headphones-/380461843386?pt=US_Pro_Audio_Amplifiers&hash=item58954b03ba

Interesting decision on the gigantic lettering since the only people that can see it are people not wearing/watching you wear the phones.... I would intentionally wear them backward and insist that it was correct just to confuse the screw out of people

Quote: But also lots of Beats... I'm intrigued but would definitely wanna wait for reviews. The 3D component is especially intriguing to me

The sound leakage is pretty bad since these are open phones. I wouldn't be able to use them in a quiet office

I prefer the FX40 but you can't go wrong with either.  FX40 is a much sharper V shaped sound while SHE3590 is smoother. I prefer the FX40s because they have great clarity and the bass goes deeper but the treble may be too much for some people.

Figured out the issue, was trying to mount the install to my harddrive 

Hey guys,   I just got a new Clip Zip but I was having trouble getting Rockbox installed on it. I am just using the Rockbox Utility and stable build with the 1.20 firmware but after I run the utility and eject (manually, the eject button in the rockbox utility gives an error) nothing...

Quote: My best phones right now are CAL! so it should be a serious upgrade (best way to rationalize this terrible, unjustified purchase)

Had to pull the trigger on the insane X1 deal. I hate this thread.

Innerfidelity has good FR graphs

Sony MDR V6 are supposed to be extremely neutral and are around $80

Thanks for all the help everyone (especially you Fred, words can't describe how awesome you've been)!   So I'm guessing that this charger would almost definitely work: ...

I know it isn't technically vintage but I picked up a Marantz SR 68 at a garage sale the other day. It was $30 and Marantz is supposed to be good so I figured why not. Does anybody here know if they are any good or if any parts inside are worth salvaging?

I definitely would not say that the Porta Pros have hard hitting bass. They do have bass but it is more balanced so it would probably not satisfy a basshead. 

I may be wrong but I recall that the ones with the inline remote sounded different. I'm pretty sure it was mentioned a few pages back

Thanks for the quick reply! I'm using these batteries: http://www.amazon.com/Tenergy-Centura-Self-Discharge-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B003QUNYQI/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top Not sure how many cells they have.   I am mainly going to be using this as a desktop unit so I am not too concerned...
