Not much to say here but wow.

Note: Benn uploaded this free to download from What.CD. He'd be more than happy to know that I've shown this to you all, plus he's a bit of an audio nut himself. I'm sure all you head-fiers who want to get sucked into it and have a love for outer space or Carl Sagan will absolutely love this...

So I'm going to start investing in gear for live music performances (electronic stuff, from my laptop) and I am working on getting a little "workstation" set up in my house. I don't care too much for speakers (although I don't doubt that there are great studio monitors, but this is a headphone...

Figured this might be a better place to ask than just the Grado mod thread... Since I sold my red lettered SR100 I have gone back to my trusty ol' 225's. I really miss the look of the red lettering and I'm considering doing some cosmetic mods and either rubbing off the faded silver or...

So I'm contemplating using my refund money this year to invest in a synthesizer to pursue the other half of my music hobby.. that is, making it! I'm thinking I will probably have between $300-600 to drop and I'm considering the MicroKorg. It has tons of features, all sorts of ways to hook it...

So my favorite electronic musician Benn Jordan (aka The Flashbulb, Acidwolf) has been doing funk sets every monday night in downtown Chicago, and finally after a few months' time he had the chance to remaster and release a promo cd of the best damn funk, jazz, and little extra CD I've ever...

Laptop users unite! I'm pretty excited about this... does anyone know how this compares to an M-Audio Transit usb? Is there much difference at all?

I managed to get a rip of the Steve Hoffman vinyl master of The White Stripes' newest album, Icky Thump. Oh my god. There is a day and night difference in quality. The vinyl makes me so happy.

So just the other day, LITERALLY when I installed Vista I found out about how people haven't been able to use their Transits. I was going to find some contact info to ask about it when I noticed they have a beta driver for Vista. I installed the driver and it works perfect! I'm so happy.

After finally receiving my pair of Grado SR-100's with HP-1000 drivers in them, I had promised to make a reviewed comparison between these and the wonderful sounding Grado RS-1. The reason I have called this a "modest" review is because of my basic and pretty minimal audio setup, which...

So I waltzed into radioshack the other day looking for an adaptor and I noticed on their wall of headphones that they happened to have the KSC75. Excitedly, I wanted to get a pair because I gave my old ones to my girlfriend, but I've always appreciated their sound. I then noticed that it had a...

So I unpacked all of my things into my room and got it all nice and set up. I plugged my RS-1 into my RA-1 and I got this weird buzzing noise whenever I handled the knob. Turns out, it goes up when the volume is increased too! I open it up and touch the capacitors... BUZZ! But something weird...

Has anyone here tried to make their own C-Pads out of Beyer Velours? I have some 770's and I'm going to find out whether or not I want to keep them in a few days. If I don't, I'm going to use the velours to make my own C-Pads for some wooden Grados. Let me know if you have any instructions or...

So, I have the opportunity to get an LD2++ for a nearly amazingly low price. The thing is, I'm already pretty satisfied with my "RA-1"/Grado combo as it is (not to mention I just spent $60 on 2 ni-hm 9volts with a charger just for the amp!!). Now, I'm told it can be used as a preamp, but would I...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=290130159518 Now, what to do with my RS-1...? Should I sell it, use its housing for the HP-1000's, sell it? Give me ideas!

I have! I'm a huge fan of electronic musician Benn Jordan, more infamously known as "The Flashbulb," who is also well known for his commercial work such as the song you may or may not have heard on Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty ad, and I've been lucky enough to have met him before one of his...

So in case many of you electronic nuts don't know already, Sublight Records, home to many popular artists such as The Flashbulb, Venetian Snares, and Wisp, is closing down due to annual reports showing a major loss in sales, most likely in relation to the increase of music being pirated. Benn...

Nevermind, perhaps I will try again, someday.

So, I just recently aqcuired a copy of their newest album, Icky Thump with my delicious Grado RS-1s. I was joyfully listening to the CD when all of a sudden a track comes up titled "Little Cream Soda" and all of a sudden I hear this rattling sound from my left speaker whenever the back kick...

So, I've finally come to the decision that I want to dive a little bit deeper into this audiophile business and I feel that it's time I got some new gear for my laptop. There are mainly two things I'm looking for. A new DAC and a new amp (one that's not portable), obviously. I want to try a tube...

So, I'm contemplating on whether or not I should switch my M-Audio Transit out with a USB Alien DAC. Can anyone tell me how these two compare, and if it would be considered a "good" investment, or a significant/considerable upgrade from the Transit?

So I'm considering upgrading from the M-audio Transit to the Total Bithead, and I was curious whether or not I should use an amp with it. Doesn't it come with one built in?

So I just won me a pair of dt770s/250 and I'm feeling a little nervous whether or not my CMoy will be able to give it the juice it needs. I also have an RA-1 waiting for me in the midwest (I'm in Washington) and I don't know how well that will drive it either. I've never had phones with such a...

...and I have to say it sounds absolutely fantastic. My music sounds soo much better than my laptop's onboard, even with cheapo buds! Now, anyone know what settings to use to get the full potential out of the device?

So I'm thinking about getting a Turtle Beach USB sound card as a basic way to boost quality and remove hiss from my laptop. I noticed there are actually three models: Micro, Amigo, and Roadie. Is there any significant difference in quality between the three models? And if so, which one is the...
