    Looking for suggestions!

    I'm looking to buy some new headphones with a bit of dough I've saved up over summer. My budget's around $150 - 250, with a bit of wiggle room. Currently in my lineup you can find: a pair of ATH-A900's, KSC75's, SR60's, CX300's, and ER6i's. I listen to just about everything, from drum & bass to...

    About the Koss warranty...

    I was walking around the house listening to my KSC75's, and to my misfortune the cable wrapped around a doorknob and pulled right out of the headphone as I kept walking. One of the clip-ons functions fine, but the other has been completely severed. The question is, will my warranty be void...

    Advice on an IEM purchase

    I've narrowed my next headphone decision to an IEM, and I have it down to the ER6i, IM716, and UM1. I'd like help on making my final decision though, so I could use some information on: the isolation of these IEM's, sound quality (unamped), and overall sound quality. My sound preferences...

    Trance and House Recommendations

    I've listened to electronic music for a darn long time now, and I listen to plenty of downtempo, IDM, drum & bass, ambient, etc. However, I never really got into trance or house, and their respective subgenres. I'd like to know what are some good artists/albums to look into, and which subgenres...

    Total Bithead and the HD600

    I've decided to buy the Sennheiser HD600, and I was wondering if the Bithead is an appropriate choice for these cans. If not, what other choices are there that would fit these headphones? I have a $100 - $200 budget. Thanks in advance.

    Other high-capacity mp3 players

    I've been eyeing the 60 GB 5g iPod, but I was wondering what other options are out there. I'm interested in: video capability, high capacity (duh), good sound quality, and decent battery life. I apologize if this topic has been made before, but I had trouble finding a similar topic.

    A problem with my KSC75's.

    I recently did the Kramer mod to my KSC75's, and they worked great. However, after awhile, I started getting this horrible buzzing sound in the right side. This buzzing noise only occurs when there are lower frequencies playing through the headphones, but it renders many songs very hard to...

    External Soundcards

    I've been curious about external soundcards for quite awhile now. I own a laptop and I'm wondering if one of these would be preferable to just buying a normal internal soundcard. If so, what are some good options in this category? Also, would a DAC/Amp like the Headroom Bithead need a good...

    Regarding the Kramer mod for the KSC75...

    I've been meaning to do this mod on recently acquired KSC75's, but I'm having a lot of trouble snapping the grills off. I've been getting frustrated, and I'm a bit worried that I might damage the phones if I tackle this in a primitive manner. What's the best way to go about doing this? btw, I...

    Jamiroquai

    Jamiroquai is one of my favorite groups evar. When I discovered them, they were really fresh. FUNKY fresh. Their stuff is an awesome blend of dance, funk, and even some acid jazz. If you haven't checked them out, I highly recommend that you do. As far as albums are concerned, I'd check out...

    A question about the Headroom Micro amp

    I am considering buying the Headroom Micro, and I had a query about it. If I wanted to connect the amp to my laptop, would I also have to buy the Micro DAC as well, or is the amp able to connect via USB or some other method? Thanks in advance.

    Looking for a decent/cheap DAC

    I'm going to use my laptop as my music source, and I'm looking for a good DAC to power a set of cans. I've been looking at the Headroom Bithead and Micro DAC, but I don't really want to spend that much right now. Are there any decent DAC's for a lesser price?

    A question about the ATH-A900's

    I'm considering buying the Audio-Technica ATH-A900's, and I'm wondering if an amp is necessary to get the most out of these cans. If so, what amp is recommended? (preferably under $300) Thanks in advance.

    Your habits when listening to music

    List your habits (if you have any) while listening to music. For example, when I'm listening to a face-melting guitar solo, I tend to contort my face as if the notes were being wretched from my own hands. This may be due to my background as a musician, but it sure does get funny looks from...

    The Flashbulb

    Benn Jordan aka The Flashbulb (he has other aliases, but this is his main one) For those of you who don't know this guy, you should really check out his stuff. The scope of the music is mindblowing: agressive breakcore with insane programming, more melodic pieces, and even some classical...

    Nu jazz/jazztronica

    The Cinematic Orchestra, Bugge Wesseltoft, Jaga Jazzist - All fine examples of this fresh genre. Anyone know any other artists with a similar vibe?

    Buying cans on ebay

    I'm considering buying a set of HD600's off ebay, and I was wondering if there are any dangers involved with purchasing from ebay. (i.e. damage from shipping, low quality, possible fakes) Thanks in advance.
