Thanks  Now I know!

What is slotradio and how does it work?  Everytime I try slotradio.org I end up in cyberworld limbo. Is there somewhere else I should be looking?  

I am also a fan of the vintage receivers  I own a Kenwood KR 6030 and an Akai AA-A45 that I have had for many years. I've replaced the output I/C's in the Akai twice .Surprisingly they are still fairly inexpensive and available.

Yeah you can't go too far wrong with Technics direct drive

Many thanks for the info .There is a wealth of information on this website . 

Just got a pair of K240 phones that says Professional Studio Standard on the box. Are these MK II's ? How can you tell?   Been listening to Led Zep for about 40 min  Sound is good and fit is great  Pretty good for 70 bucks I think

I can't lay my hands on the 414's right now but I remember they were very well balanced with nice bright highs. Someone gave them to me as a present and I was surprised that something so light could sound so good.  I would like to try the 424's someday and compare them.  Retirement is great but...

New to the forum and still finding my way around. My name is Gary and I have been listening to music for over 50 years. I have a few pairs of headphones ,mostly Sennheiser (HD 414, HD 440, HD 577 ,HD 600 , a couple more I can't remember) also I just bought a Grado SR80 that I am still waiting ...

Many thanks   I will give it a try

New guy here I just bought Grado SR80 and I understand the ear pads from Sennheiser HD 414 will fit . Is this right or do they need to be modified?   I have a pair of HD 414 but I can't find them right now.
