any options?

so I have been listening off and on over the years to various genres and have really settled on jazz/acoustics(think trace bundy) and vocals. I have had grado 60s,125s and now woody 325s. Right now I am using premium Spotify through iMac or iPhone. I have considered tidal but not sure I will be...

Alright guys I am getting some over analysis paralysis. Currently I am running apple lossless through MBP to the total bithead and grado sr225. I will be upgrading to the grado Rs2i or Audiotechnica ath ad2000 but I am not concerned about my headphone decision. I simply want you guys to know...

Ok so its a bit of an apple to orange comparison but I have some upgrade funds and it either needs to go to fuel the source or upgrade the phones. Right now I am running FLAC/foobar-> MBP->  total bithead->SR225(oldies). Initial gut and bang for the buck says grab the RS2i. Looking to spend...

So I have looked through the first few pages of searches entitled "iem vs full size" but the conclusion is surprisingly ambiguous. A few years ago when I was more active in the forums, fullsize won no question. I currently use grado 325s. I want something equal or better. I had looked at w3s...

My question is somewhat limited to my work situation. I am pretty much restriced to earbuds and IEMs. I will also be using only one ear. There are times where I will have both ears plugged but the majority of the time I will need to hear the enviroment out of the other ear. I have even...

Fellow DIYers I am looking for a starter kit that would carry soldering iron, solder, a stand for the iron, small screwdrivers, small cutters and pliers, and a wire stripper. Preferably inexpensive, not cheap Would it simply be best to by them piecewise?

So recently I have been perplexed when trying to shop for something new or different. In otherwords I can easily pick out a remastered nirvana track or beatles/pink floyd but when I want something new and different I am a bit lost. I tend to look for record companies like EMI and big fancy words...

My current dilemma is finding a good system that really makes you want to "tap your feet." I am looking for fast and good impact. I have currently listened to grado SR-60's and SR-225(current phones). My problem with the 225's is that I find them lacking in lower frequencies. It may be the...

Alright guys, I think i have decided to use my mac mini as my source. I am curious though if anyone has tried a nice sound card with the mac mini like the ESI-Juli@ and if it is even possible. I looked through most of the old mini threads and don't see much on sounds cards. I can presume then...

Any suggestions for the best method to get my left earpiece back on the grado headband? My 3yr old managed to wrestle the earpiece out of the glue mold from the metal bar that is attached to the headband. Superglue didn't seem to work.

Whoops, wrong thread, I am sorry. moved to fullsize headphones

I am at a bit of a loss as to what I need/want for my source. I really don't care if it is portable or 100 pounds stuck in the living room. Currently I have a pair of SR-225's(iphone or some cheap insignia speakers via the computer ./;gasp)...that is it. I listen to electronica/rock and like...

I recently upgraded from Sr-60's to SR-225's. While I understand the grado's are a "rock" phone for the most part I enjoyed the SR-60s with electronica and alternative. I did want more though and knew I could easily upgrade as the SR-60s were at the bottom of the totem pole Since purchasing...

At the local music store I found myself in a pinch. Before me was a george acosta cd which i did not have( and would have enjoyed), a tiesto cd(in search of sunrise LA) and an orbital cd. I chose tiesto because it had been awhile since I had heard his stuff and really didnt have much of his...

I have been looking at the emu 1212M to pair with grado 225s. I am stepping up in the hiFi world from grado SR-60s. So i do not have an amp yet but eventually plan on one. As of now would you recommend the emu1212M for the grado 225s? This will be on my desktop. I mostly listen to techno and rock.

So i managed to trip and snap my SR-60 mini plug in half. That being said I am looking at the SR-225 and an amp rather than the SR-325i. I enjoy techno(trance/electronica) and rock for the most part. I like the sound of the Sr-60s, but would like a little extra impact on the low end...

Alright guys I am looking for some new music. Ive been diving into the techno and am currently lost in all of the genre I am pretty sure I like hard trance and electric. I have been listening to Acosta, tiesto and sphongle(not extremely fond of but ok). Any suggestions or places to look? I...
