So I'm kind of desperate now. I cannot seem to track down a counterweight for the Rega RB250 tonearm. I've emailed Rega, so maybe they can help... But it's the weekend. Thought maybe somebody here would have any ideas? Not looking to spend a lot of money on some boutique third party one, either...

Quote: I'm afraid not sir. That was a long time ago. But the beyer mods also require either some glue, or for you to cut and stretch the plastic on the back of them in order to fit over the 4 protrusions. And to be honest, the circumference of the beyer's are a bit too wide to fit...

Here's a quick shot of the new pads. And please realize, I did this job in a rush, and my razor was pretty dull so it didn't come out too neat/clean. Anyone can do a better job that that with a little bit of patience.   Doug

Quote: Wow. I haven't posted here in like.. forever! Not that my wallet is any heavier, since I picked up photography as an new thing ! In any case, I bought those pads from B&H photo and a search on their site got me to them:  ...

Looks like I missed the thread where people are/were having issues with the tubes snapping in half. I guess this kind of kills it for me, because knowing my luck, one would break off while still in my ear, and that would freak me out big time. Have SA addressed this issue perhaps ?

As the title suggests, I am interested in purchasing the SA6's, but I'm also curious to know if I'll be able to get the bass ++ and treble -- ports that I've seen mentioned here ? I've listened with and enjoyed Shure E530's and wonder how close in comparison they rank to the SA6's, because the...

I really like these cans, but they were becoming increasingly uncomfortable due to the plastic ear cups cracking. I've seen this on other people's cans as well in the street, and remembered that I had some Beyer velour pads in my closet, which were supposed to be fit onto my Sony V6's before...

Neat. I've been looking for a better fit solution for my iM616's, which I suppose are identical in shape/form to the ety's, right ? Do you think you can re-iterate the procedure with pics to accommodate for slow people such as myself ? Kind of a point a to b to c kind of deal. That would be...

Anybody bite on these ?

Found this thread via Google, actually. Was looking for replacement pads... Anyway, I really like their sound signature. Good defined bass, treble isn't too harsh IMO (I'm an oldie @ 36) and they display a good level of detail with all sorts of music. I think I bought them @ JnR last year...

Just going to quickly say that the iRIver iHP 120 came out right before the first gen iPod, and IMHO has bested every gen iPod in terms of SQ and features (out of the box). To this day, I still use my iHP (which is now ROCKbox'd of course) over my 5th gen iPod, which is also Rockbx'd because the...

Funny, I'd have thought that his current name would be Big Mack. I really want to get off this rock, anyone know what time the shuttle leaves ? Sooo embarrassing to be human...

I have a fairly logical way of looking at the vinyl vs. digital debate, which goes: You really don't have to spend a ton of money for a good deck/cart/accessories in order to enjoy the benefits of vinyl, really. For those thinking about taking the plunge, remember that it is vital to keep...

Is there a huge difference between the k240s and the k271's ?

bump

I loved my V6's. Put some velour pads on the ears to replace the stock pads, and viola ! Comfort heaven. The sound is neutral (with a bit of predominance from the high end until broken in) compared to the Beyer's mentioned here. Plus.. Don't the DT770's need to be amped, ideally ? The V6's...

Do any of the Comply tips fit the im616's ? I'm really needing replacement tips for them. I don't like the flange ones at all, but do like the foamies it came with. But if Comply's fit too, I"ll buy some of those.

Adorama is a very reputable place. I get camera equipment there all the time. Call them concerning the issue, and I"m sure they'll straighten it out. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that the owners are closely related, if not the same as the guys at B and H photo.

Queen's " A Night At The Opera" on CD (again) and John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman on vinyl.

Using my extremely modest Canon S3IS, no editing whatsoever (because I was lazy)

"21" Starring Kevin Spacey. A movie (based on real life events) about MIT students who count cards in Vegas and make boat loads of cash. I found it far too slow moving for me, in its direction. I hadn't read the book, but felt I knew what was going to happen from one moment to the next, and...
