Hey guys, Well, as I'm a uni student, I carry my rig to and from uni a lot. As It is, my MS-1's have started to take a beating - Grado's aren't designed for living inside a bag with lots of things moving around! Also the leakage prevents me from listening to them in the library/any quiet...

Hey guys, You may remember, i auditioned the mid-high end of grado's last week (325i/RS-2) and came away rather disappointed. However one thing I liked was the bowl pads on both sets of headphones. Whilst i had read how the bowls were "the devil" comfort wise in other threads on headfi, I found...

Hey guys, I recently dropped into the only shop that sells Grado's here in sunny(sometimes) melbourne, and tried out the Grado RS-2's (they didn't have the RS-1's) All I can say is that I was sufficiently underwhelmed by them, given their $700AUD pricetag. They are definitely not $550 better...

Hey guys, I'm currently running this rig: IHP-130 To PA2v2 via ALO cryo Mini to mini To MS-1. I carry my rig around with me on public transport to/from uni and or where ever else I may be going. I'm wondering what your thought are on my next logical upgrade? I think the PA2v2 matches...

Hey guys, In a bit of a bind atm. I'm really not sure which mini-to-mini cable to get. I need something that will stand up to a bit of rough and tumble within my uni bag, and i've heard the silver cable is quite stiff. Ken assures me that with proper care it'll be ok, but i'm working off a...

Firstly, many thanks to span, great people they are, got my drive to me in a week(!) this close to xmas. They certainly put the wind up Australia Post, who struggle to get things from another state to here in under a week -_-. Onward with the pics! Here are the people i wish to thank...

Hey guys, If anyone noticed, i had a thread going about which soundcard I was going to upgrade to - I settled on the Maudio AP 192 as it seemed to have better overall sound (analogue out) and better driver support than the 1212M. First impressions: For some odd reason I was expecting a...

Hey guys, I'm from australia and as a result have a hard time getting anything that isn't Creative X-Fi at anything less than RRP I'm after a replacement for my AV710 mostly because the Hi-Def out seems to be not working and coz my other half needs a soundcard. I figure if i'm going to...

Hey guys, I was entering song names into my cd player today, when i realised that it had a 12 character limit, which was quite annoying as the cd title was much longer than 12 characters. Now the question is, has anyone like.. hm... hacked the LCD so that it can display scrolling songnames? Or...

Hey guys, I've got university impending soon, and am looking for a directional or powered mic for recording lectures. You guys know how big lecture halls are yeah? like i'll be a good 20m or so from the actual speaker. Also the mic can't be that big of course I was thinking something like...

Hey guys, Well, even with the new 3.24 drivers, i am hearing 0 sound out of the 7&8 speaker jack when hi-rez is enabled, as in, no windows sounds, nothing. Have you guys got any idea what might be wrong? or could my card just be broken

Hey guys, Just got my AV710, but whenever i chuck it into "hi rez" mode (and you're supposed to connect the speakers to "alt out") i get no sound whatsoever from "alt out" Has anyone else experienced this? The Card does indeed cut all sound to the front speakers.

Hey guys, Well i really have no use for this Philips CD850mkII cd player here anymore. I'm just wondering what it's worth. It's in mint condition basically. heres a pic thanks Oh and can you please tell me if you're working in USD or what

Well, i'm getting pretty tired of not having a true shuffle function for my iHP-120, that and on the fly playlisting would be nice. The shuffle thing ****s me more though. When is iRiver gonna pull up their socks and finish this firmware?

Hello all, I recently dug up a near perfect condition Philips CD850 MkII from my uncles old stereo - now my question is, the tiny little volume knob on the front doesn't seem to work, OR is it only for headphones???? because, as far as i can discern, the cd player is pumping out the signal...

Hey all, I just designed/had built some speakers recently. (TLSK stands for The Loudspeaker Kit, a respected australian DIY audio outfit, http://www.theloudspeakerkit.com/ind...eluxe&kitid=F6 <- my inspiration). I'm very impressed with the built quality (Thanks Simboo ), and thankful that my...

oook, this is a double whammy question: Firstly, i have a lot of korean/japanese song names for instance: BoA - VALENTI - 04 -せかい　の　かつみ　で Now, when i name the id3 tag, with say WMP... it'll show properly as japanese. however, when played in winamp, i turns into ???? the second part is...

Hey all, I've got a iHP-120 and i flashed the 1.40 firmware onto it a few weeks ago... now one thing i've noticed is that the main menu 'search by artist, song name' file menu' has seemingly dissapeared, and when i click the main button, it goes straight to filesystem view. This doesn't worry...

Hey all, I just took out the woofers/midranges of my set of Infinity RS5000's ( so i could fix the surrounds) and the midrange, has this weird tube thing on it, what does it do exactly? (they look busted, coz they are, they need new surrounds)

I've lookd on the KOSS website and i cant find the KSC=50's under teh drop down 'warranty' bit do they have the lifetime warranty like the 35's?? Wooo first post
