Ultrasone Proline 650 mods
A little background..

XM Radio MyFi
About a month ago I bought a car that came with XM radio. I got hooked on the infinite source of new music. On voice programs the compression is high and the bit rate is low, but on the Jazz and Classical stations, the sound is about as good a good FM radio. I liked it so well that I picked...- kwkarth

Thoughts/observations on the AKG K-1000s
I must confess that I've had a love-hate relationship with my K-s1000. Firstly, I'm a weird guy and I love weird things. The K-1000s appealed to me on that basis alone even before I ever saw or heard them in person. I bought a pair from HeadRoom and drove them with my Kenwood RD-VH7 which...- kwkarth

Cardas Smurf Cables for Senn HD-600
My Cardas HD-600 replacement cables arrived today and even though they're not broken in, I can tell a not too subtle improvement already. The bass is for sure improved over the stock cables and the hole in the mids does seem to be filled in better. This is cool!! Will they unseat the AKG-501s...- kwkarth

Tweek of the week
On my way home from work yesterday, I was listening to PBS and they did a story on copyright infringement. Very interesting. They mentioned the new Sony copy protected CD's, which I've run into much to my chagrin. (I have a new program which seems to work in spite of the copy protection)...- kwkarth
