I've searched around a bit, but havent been able to find a good answer to this question.   I'm looking for an amp for my newly obtained pro 750's, (also running my hd555's would be nice too) and i've been looking at the RSA hornet and shadow. are either of these particulary good at driving...

@euler, if you're from the boston area you should try going to the audio lab in the garage in harvard square, he sells mostly stereo components, but he has a decent selection of headphones (atleast he did when last i was there), grado, akg, sennheiser, etc.

my hd555's clamed a bit for the first little while i used them but they very quickly became incredibly comfy, now i wear them nearly all the time when i'm in my room and feel no discomfort. i have a 7 5/8ish hat size as well, i think it may actually be bigger than that.

i have the hd555's and i love them lots, got them for about $80 on amazon a while ago. i have heard good things about a lot of the grados as well, particularly the sr225's, also lots of good things about the alessandro ms-1's (i think thats what they were) which were relatively inexpencive as...

Hi, i searched the forum first, and didnt want to resurrect all the super dead threads but i couldnt find exactly what i was looking for about this topic. i have a pair of sennheiser hd555's and want to replace the 1/4 jack with a 1/8. i know the 4 wires in the cable (red, white, black...

750's have long burn in i hear, and i hear pink noise would be a faster burn in. how long of a burn in on the prolines should i do with pink noise.

sexy, also, welcome to head-fi, and as is customary, "sorry about your wallet" :-p

oh i had my share or street styles. all were broken/lost rather quickly.

okay, i learned that my soldering iron is like an actual work station soldering iron by welller, 30 watt, like $150 when it was bought. also a cheap ~$20 15 watt iron.

oh shush... yes you answered my question, i'm trying to figure out how to do a zune one too, making an ipod one for my girlfriend too, so i was just checking on that...

the wires wires? lol i wish it was this simple with the zune dock...

what is involved in makind an ipod line out dock? is there much more than soldering wires to the right pins?

ooh, i didnt even think of that, ofcourse you'll want an hd player, cuz you'll feel the need to upgrade all your music to lossless and high bitrate mp3s.

i use like a 25 yeard old weller, and i'm perfectly happy with that :-)

using it for interconnects... still go stranded?

thank you everyone for all the help :-) i hope my soldering skills havent deteriorated from my last project. Cy

they appear y-corded also... i hate the j-cord on my cx300's

clean transparent sound i would say imod.

haha the cable turtle would work quite well, it also has a funny name....

the d2 is quite a popular player, its flash based and it has pretty good sound quality, its also way less expencive than the imod... also the imod REQUIRES an amp, but if you're getting one no matter what, or you already have one that doesnt really matter. i suggest d2 or imod. welcome to...

ipod pulled way ahead? wow... i like the feel of the zune better. after the itunes thing where apple will take the drm off your music, i'm sure microsoft will follow suit eventually. DRM FTL :-( also, zune line out may be on the way, just need to figure out that stupid thing to activate...

the 500's look sexy

so 22 awg stranded? is 20 too big? also, for solder, a good diameter? is silver bearing good? do i want rosin core solder or just solid silver bearing?

for just copper cables for some small interconnects would solid or stranded be preferred? edit: also, what would be a good guage? i'd go silver or spc, but i dont really have access to those materials, plus i work at radioshack and can get the copper cheaps. along with some cheap...
