Just don't feel like posting. I'm not looking for any new gear, so what is the point?

When I saw this thread I thought of a line for High Fidelity... Quote: What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to...

I sense falsehood in this "rumor".

Personally I find the DT880s to have much more noticeable bass than the K501s, which I find to be utterly lacking in the bass department.

Well 'The Rat' is an album only song on iTunes (gg Reprise ) and the rest of the suggestions are apparently a bit too indie for iTunes or something as I can't find any of the bands... I've only got 4 more days to use these free downloads (well the 5 free songs from Pepsi expire, the other...

Thanks to Pepsi and a $10 gift certificate, I can download up to 15 songs for free from iTunes. I've decided to take this opportunity to try out some new bands/music styles that I haven't noticed before (read: I couldn’t think of anything off the top of my head). So I need your help (well...

Is there a reason this one track has taken so long to come out?

Quote: Originally posted by Snufkin Yeah, that's a shame I find the flat pads to be not uncomfortable They aren't wonderful velour, but they aren't itchy bowl pads. I've never gotten the chance to try out the bowl pads, which I'm going to guess is a good thing. I suppose...

They look a lot like the flats that I have, though there is the possibility that they could be a well done mod. Note: I'm basing a lot of this off the slits (or whatever they are) around the center of the pads.

It appears to be flat pads.

I don't know if it's just me, but this kind of feels like a money grab by the studio. One new track and some alternative takes doesn't seem like much. Of course this won't most likely stop me from buying it. I'm a bit too much of a fan for that...

Quote: Originally posted by Snufkin Agreed. walli - I've never found the K501 to be "boring" to listen to, the soundstage and detail along with the lack of harshness makes them relly quite nice.. it's just the lack of bass I can't get over SeventyFive - if you like the Grado...

I've never found the K501s boring, just disappointed by the lack of bass. I'll try listening to them a bit more tonight to see if I can get a better impression of them. As for damaging the hearing, I don't believe I have much to worry about as I have a tendency to listen at low levels...

Quote: Originally posted by pspivak My error, the Stax 2020 system is $479.00 from Audiocubes. These would be out of your price range. Sorry for the confusion. Hey that's okay. I'd love to try out some Stax headphones. If only I had a bit more money or they were a bit cheaper...

Quote: Originally posted by wallijonn since you like the K501 sound, the DT880 should please you as well. I would have thought that you would have an HD580 instead, as it is much flatter in response than the HD590. I'm not sure if I'm just reading the second sentence wrong, but I...

While I do like the Grado sound, I don't like the Grado comfort. It's a shame about the lack of comfort. The A900 sounds like a good headphone; except that it's closed and I'm currently looking for an open headphone (closed headphones get a bit too warm over the summer).

I have thought about the Etys, but decided against them as I'm not the biggest fan of jamming things into my ears. I've been using a pair of their ear plugs and I don't think that it's a sort of headphone I'd like to be wearing most of the time. As for the 600s, I'm a bit leery of the...

Well I've gotten the itch for a new pair of headphones and I need some advice on which headphone to get. I'm looking for an open headphone, with a price ceiling of about $250. So, for example, don’t recommend the Sen 650 as its way over my budget. My source and amp can be found in my profile...

A Madison meet would most likely work better for me (will not have to worry about transportation then).

So does anyone know why the price of the W1000 and the CD3000 went up so much in price? A look at the exchange rate shows that the exchange rate is currently 1 USD = 109.43 JPY and was 1 USD = 119.64 JPY on June 30th. Looks like a good part of that price hike is due to the weakening US dollar...

Rizumu, that happened to me too.

Don't forget, you can now order the original flat pads here .
