Thanks for the quick reply. I guess I will give one a try Think replacing the 3 Rubycon power filter caps with Fine Golds or Silmics worth a shot?

Hi! @Luckbad I got an MHDT Labs canary too recently. I got a WE396A/2C51 for it. To me it made an improvement, but I am wondering about the 6n26p you have mentioned. Do you think it will synergise well with the Canary?

They are really nice. The warmness compliments the MS1s sound nicely. Compared to the magni 2 uber it has a smoother overall sound with less treble and more warmth. The magni 2 has better detail but at the cost of being less smooth(harsh) and ultimately being a bit fatiguing.    I really can't...

Yes. I also checked with Alessandro and they confirmed this. Thanks for the reply.

I already posted this in the 'grado e series' thread.    But I also got some MS1s today that have silver drivers. i sent an email asking about this. But looks like I didn't have to. As it seems the red was temporary. hmm   they sound great!. I have had MS1's before. Sold them and regretted...

I ordered some MS1's last week and they arrived today. They have silver drivers though. I read earlier in this thread that they were coming with red drivers(i've also seen numerous pics). I think these are probably the latest drivers but just simply not painted red.

Hello, I have an old Technics SL-1200 MK1 lying around. I want to spend around $150 on a cartridge and a preamp. Any suggestions?

A year ago today I saw them in San Diego best 2 hours of my life. Can't wait for there next Album. Will it be good? I'm having doubts, but lets hope I'm wrong.

Hey is there any way to buy replacement pads for the HD 555? Mine are kind of worn down and not that comfortable as they used to be.

My question is how does the E-MU 0404USB comapre to a "hotrodded" X-Fi XtremeMusic?

Thanks for the replies. I'm looking at the Little Dot II++ which would would be cool because I could also use it as a preamp for my Sonic Impact T-amp and speaker set up.

I have my SR 225 and HD 555 running through a vintage Kenwood KR-9600 both cans sound amazing, very warm and detailed. I love it, Unfortunately it's gigantic and my dad wants to sell it. I am look for a headphone amp to match the sound. My guess would be a tube amp, but I'm not sure. Any...

So far its pretty cool.

No, you wont be able to set it up as a 4.1. Sorry.

Show was amazing had a great time with my GF. Played ever thing I wanted to hear. (they played 405! ) I hope a recording surfaces.

Going to see Death Cab for Cutie tomorrow at Seattle Key Center. So excited. Wanted to see them live for awhile now. Last show on the tour in their home town, it's got to be a good show.

Ambient: Sigur Rós and Aphex Twin

What headphones is Thom Yorke wearing? From the latest blog posting on Radioheads site.

Well today I put my headphones on backwards and noticed something different my left ear is better then my right I hear things more clear and louder too. Could this just be because I'm not used to hearing it this way?
