hey guys, I would definitely be keen to join the meet. Glenn - Thanks for the PM to make me aware of the meet! Cheers pxpx

Thanks for ther comments JaZZ. I'll try the Zu in the first instance, and depending on the results, may opt to buy the SDv2 as well. PS - Thirteenth Step is a great album. If you want a really good song for headphone listening/demo'ing, I reccomend "Eulogy" by tool. It has the most...

thanks for the heads up.... I've actually just taken the plunge and ordered the Zu Mobius today, so hopefully that does the trick!

hi there again, yes please for another meet! Keep me in the loop please. Having done a whole lot more "research" since our last meet, there are plenty of comparisons that I am just dying to have a go at! cheers pxpx

OK - sorry to revive an old thread, but I am hoping that voltron, saint panda, jazz, kurt et al. are still around to help me out, even if it's a long shot! Fantastic thread, by the way, and my thanks to all the contributors regardless of whether I can elicit any response to my below...

Hi All, sorry for the late reply, but have been away on business for a few weeks.... Great day and I really enjoyed it. Many thanks to gz76 for hosting - much appreciated. I'm still relatively new to this whole game, so won't embarrass myself by pretending to use a bunch of terms that I...

just had my 225's returned after repair at home base. Grado have really outdone themselves in my opinion since they did not charge me for the repair as well as returning them to Australia at their own cost. The repair only cost me the freight to US. And all of this despite the cans being...

hmmm - just looking through the posts - I really hope Jdimitri can make it! I'd love to hear the equinox cable on the HD650 as I currently have an aftermarket cable next on my shopping list....

hi all, Haven't checked in for a while, but it was a pleasant surprise to see the meet has gained some momentum! I am also sweet for the Sunday. cheers,

hmmm - that's dissapointing. C'mon Melbourne'ites - pull your finger out! On the up-side, I have just pulled the trigger on a Corda Opera, so you can move that up into your list of confirmed gear for the meet! All I need now is a decent after market cable for my HD650's and I should be...

Hi gz76, How are the interest levels? Do we have enough interest at this stage to justify the meet? FWIW - I am still very keen! Thanks again for starting the thread and agreeing to hold the meet. cheers

thanks again guys. I need to ask a really dumb question so that I can understand better what is going on..... The following is what I believe happens in layman terms... Sounds on my PC (games or music files) are in digital format and the digital signal is sent to the soundcard which does...

thank you both for the replies... A couple of follow up questions, if I may? 1) Once the Prelude has done it's thing with respect to EAX/CMSS etc, do those effects go with the signal out the SPDIF? or would I have to take a 3.5mm->RCA to the anologue in on the Opera? 2) If I take a USB feed...

hi guys, I was really enjoying this thread.... and then it just seems to have died? Did we ever get impressions on the balanced 650 or the equinox cable? Congratulations on a fantastic thread regardless! Cheers

Hi all, I'm in need of some newbie advice.... I'm in the process of building what I would consider a medium-level rig for headphone listening. I do a mixture of gaming and music listening but 90% of both will be at my PC. I have been dead keen on the Prelude 7.1 (if it ever gets to...

hi guys, Please PM gz76 to register your interest.... cheers

ROBSCIX, The Prelude is a card I have been looking forward to ever since it was announced. During my research, I have also come across various forums where you have been exceptionally helpful with the information and views that you have provided. i just wanted to thank you for your efforts!

Hi Rav, Yes, I asked them to send me a quote via the email that I supplied and that I would sort payment via credit card. (they do not accept paypal which I also enquired about) What are you having repaired?

Thanks for the replies guys.... I ended up calling them and they are aware there is a problem with their email address. I'm sending the 225's back today and here's hoping that the cost of repairs + shipping is less than the cost of a new set! PS Judas - Cheers, And I like your avatar...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has been successful contacting Gradolabs recently? I have a set of SR225's that I would like to send back for repair, but I can't contact them through their info@gradolabs.com address (keeps bouncing back). I understand from reviewing these forums that Grado...

hey guys, I'm a new member (my first post!) and would definitely be a starter for a meet.... we are so uderserved in Melbourne with respect to headphone audio... cheers
