Hello Headfi Putting up a thread to see if any headfiers are out here in Rajasthan. I have facility at the Savista Retreat (www.savista.com) and would love to get some headphone action going on in India. Let me know if your in the area.

Hey All,   So before you get any further, yeah, this is a recommendation thread.  Share your thoughts if you want, I know these are the scum of the Head-Fi earth, but Im in a crazy headphone bind and need your help.   I was/am the happy owner of a pair of first gen DBA-02s that I bought...

Just curious how many songs the average head-fi'er has in their library. Were all here for the music first, so what do you got? My Itunes Library lists me at 12,505 songs, 1154 albums, 254.19 GB but Ive got a long way to go until I finish uploading what I want from my college's music...

After pulling and all-nighter, I still dont have my essay finished, but I think I have come up with what I think an ideal headphone would be for me. I think it is common to equate soundstage with the high end, but I got two things I didnt bargain for when I bought my HD650s and AKG K500s...

Ive decided theyre a bit too dark for me. I really like the warm signature, but the bass is almost all consuming on some songs. Its like the mids and highs have to escape from a pool of bass. Sometime I find its even a bit flabby, but at others its very well controlled, depends on the song...

Best Picture....really academy? Any film studies major wanna explain why planet earth has such a hard on for this move? I saw it, enjoyed it, and didnt think much else of it. All the power to Danny Boyle, but apart from creative storytelling and good child acting I didnt see much there. Was...

So I just picked up a pair of K500s, and am very excited to dive into AKG head on. There are a few treads that look at the K500s (and 501s) compared to the K400/401 and K601s, but I was curious how they stack up to the K701s? Many AKG owners claim that the K400/500 is the best of the best...

So Right now I have my Stax Lambda Pros on my head, reading about sale price RS-1, and I can feel myself reaching for my wallet. This happens alot; I overcame the urge to pick up some ultrasones, and am also currently battling the urge to try some AKG sound (well im losing this one, i have a wtb...

I was just placed in charge of handling the purchase of an ~1000$ audio system for a common room at my college (union). It's a large space, in a former old and beautiful fraternity house, and it currently has 4 tiny wall mounted bookshelves connected to ipod/xm interface in another room. I am...

I had to run to my school bookstore to pick up an external hard-drive for my laptop today (thanks alac), and realized when I hooked up my ipod to update that I only have 1.5 GB of space left (on 160 GB classic). While moving some video files around will give me some space in the short run, i...

Over two months of the summer obsessively checking the FS forums, I was finally able to piece together my first electrostatic system. I wound up with a set of Lambda Pros, a NuForce Icon DAC/amp, and a SRD-7 pro. This system produces some beautiful music, but while their detail blows me away...

So heres the story... I love my headphone setup, I feel like it is very balanced, and lends itself to any genre of music. It just doesn't lend itself to every environment. In my dorm where my roommate is currently blasting the newest Britney Spears single, I have a hard time fully enjoying my...

New mackbook arrived today, and im trying to get it ready to come to school with me next week. I wanted to get the files from my ipod to my computer, and not loose any of the information. Any suggestions for Mac programs?

Slightly different from the old thread: Where are Head-Fi freshman shipping off too? What gear are you leaving at home?

After a botched driver transplant, I think im ready for my first real stab at DIY. I recently bought a new pair of KSC-75s and am thinking about a re-cable. Is this a fairly straight forward first project? What materials will I need? thanks headfi

As someone in the middle of a stax transition, Ive spent many hours on the black hole that is "The Stax Thread". Hopefully we can break it down into some sub-categories so future head-fi(ers) dont develop carpal tunnel in their search for electrostatics. How about limiting this one to the...

Up to this point I feel like ive had the opportunity to experience every (general) genre of music, except electronic music. Not that I have been avoiding it, but I dont have any reference point, or even concept of what separates good from bad (except my ears). So, im enlisting head-fi to...

first: i know this is probably an over discussed topic, so if there is a smiler thread that I can be directed to (i didnt see anything that directly matched on search) that would be very helpful. That said, a friend (non-headfier but SF3 owner) and I were interested at trying our hat(s) at...

Im buying the headphones and the amp separately and was curious what my options were. My budget is about 250~ but that could go in ether direction (knowing head-fi, probably up). Where could I get said amp; ebay, headfi, audiogon, are there any other vendors? thankyou

In September im heading off to college in upstate New York armed with a Darkvoice 336i, two dynamic headphones (sr225 & hd650) and an Ipod full of Lossless audio files. So far ive been getting by using my Ipod as a source (through a dock), but I am looking to get a new laptop for school, and...

Since Head-Fi, ive stopped downloading music for the most part, and started buying more CDs to import into my computer. I use Itunes for my music, and now occasionally (but only if im desperate) will buy a song or two "Itunes Plus". Are there better, high-quality downloads available? Ive...

Look to get a gift for a teacher whos a big fan of opera, somthing full sized, opens ok, but they need to be easy to drive (hes not an adiophile, so amps are out). Price range around 100-150. I was thinking AKGs or Senns (580s?) but opera is not really my thing, so i dont know. thanks

Im think im going to make one last headphone investment before I head off to college, and ive been itching to try electrostatics. I see used Stax headphones pop up on the FS forum every once and awhile, but I have no idea how the sound of these compare to dynamic headphones of the same price...

I jumped on a good deal for the shures, but the more i read, the more they are made out to sound like my HD650s (which i have mixed feelings about), and the new Sleeks sound alot like my SR225 (which i do not have mixed feelings about). I haven't received the 530s yet, should I leave them in-box...

I have had my SR225s for two years, and have loved every day with them. They were my first serious headphones, and they have reigned over my collection since i bought them. This summer, i bought a Darkvoice 336i and HD650s. The Senns are ok, but the combo of Grado and Tube amp was worth the...
