It is 4PM, and my mail PO agent is not here yet... What?  ... I got a bad feeling about my 8320

Mine should be delivered today... cannot wait to see if Dsnuts is somehow causing auditory hallucination on the scale spanning several continents.   SOC

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll..._promot_widget I think the seller came to his/her sences.

I am surprised there was no mention of the Audio Technica headphones. AD2000 can be had for well under $600 and they are destined to impress. Also, external amplification is not a must to start enjoying them with what you already have.

This is not a universal recommendation for the best 1st Grado. My first Grado is the RS-1 which I am eagerly awaiting. The ratioanale behind this is if you are serious into the headfi, RS-1 is a must have as it is a classic representative of its disctinctive house sound. Sooner or later you will...

Senn 280 Pro falls far short of most great headphones in $200-$300 category. However, once we restrict the competition to sealed headphones that ACTUALLY isolate, the field narrows pretty quickly. In all seriousness, all this 280 bashing is not justified. What pair of headphones is being...

None! I've been blessed by progressive revelation so to speak. Every headphone I purchased satisfied me because at the time of purchasing it was the best I have heard up to that time. I have a feeling it won't be this way any longer. After listening to AD2000 purchasing superrior phones will...

My e4 sound fantastic in the bass department out of an iRiver H120 with bass set at +6 or +8 db. Recently they have gotten even bassier probably due to being sufficiently broken in. In fact, in my setup the e4 is so bassy that I wouldn't want any more of it. As it was pointed out before, the...

All this love for the Alessandros makes me want to try the MS2i.

I got my AD2000 for MUCH less than $679. Although there is no return policy when you get them from Japan, you will make your money back easily, should you decide to sell them. The AD2000 sound great unamped as long as you have a decent source (*). I find them very revealing. Some of my 128bit...

I am willing to suffer in place of a fellow headfier as well! You can pick anything you want in my sig and I will even cover your postage!

Turner, Have you tried adjusting EQ on your H120? I get enough bass to satisfy a basshead out of my EQed H120->e4. Try to do it and leave your SR-71 out of the chain.

X5 and iRiver 120/140 are great portables. I even prefer my 120 over the X5!

Have ATH-AD2000 Shure e4 Senn HD280 Pro Want AT L3000

First, I'd elliminate everything in between your sound card line out and your headphones. Basically, connect your 280 Pro directly into the sound card. If the problem is gone, it is the fault of one of your components. If the problem is still there I'd try your 280 Pros through a different...

Western Mass makes New Hampshire look like a civilized territory!

You didn't mention your budget. The good folks here can advise you depending on how much you are willing to pay. Depending on whether it is under $100 or under a $1000, your choices will vary accordingly.

Count me in. I will bring ATH-AD2000 and SR-71
