You'll probably want really good positioning 'phones...in which case you should pick up a pair of Sony MDR-V6/7506 with the Beyer mod....they have really awesome positioning and lots of bass

darn, sorry guys...something came up last minute - let me know ahead of time when the next meet is and i'll try my very best to not miss it.... really wanted to meet the lot of ya and hear some of that gear

isn't the PPA a little overboard for the v700?

hey man, outta curiousity can you make a comparison for us to sort of picture how big your place is?

I noticed you guys're having a little shortage on the power devices....anyone wanna chip in for a monster power bar? (i work at Future Shop....the discount is pretty good and the power is pretty darn clean from what I can gather)

sounds good; I'll also bring a headphone Y-Splitter then....for people who wanna compare two headphones on the same amp...

I am soo in! What I'll be bringing: the Sony D-777, Grado SR-225's, Sony MDR-V6's w/ the Beyer mod, Sony MDR-CD780's and the Koss KSC-35's I would bring my MINT amp...but it'll be killed by whatever's there, no question about it

I just bought a Duracell NiMH charger and on the product it said to charge only Duracell NiMH batteries, I really doubt that's entirely true, but I'd really like some reassurance on that...can i charge different batteries of different capacities?

i find the neck-band type headphones are very effective for physical activities...this is actually one area where my Sony Sport Streetstyle headphones excel; sure they sound crappy, but they're water resistant and they stay on my head! buds fall out when i tried them

V-6/7506 w/ the Beyer mod is awesome

Canadian here! So far, all my stuff has come from the FS/FT forum!

Quote: Originally posted by shymog I've heard the 212s and they make my ears bleed. The highs sound like I'm squeezing the life out of some poor mouse or something. Are the Senn 280s better or worse than the V700DJ? I mean, I've read the V700s are muddy... would the Senn280s still...

happy owner of a pair of V6's, don't know how old they are, but they sound damn good, really comfy with the Beyer pads too

i had the same problem a while ago, except it was the bass giving off an annoying buzz....there's a hair stuck inside the plastic casing and is probably touching the driver

is this restricted to headphones? if not...Gateway LCD's are just HORRID, along with HP and Compaq

KSC-35's....or if you like buds, there've been quite a few reccomendations for the Sennheiser MX500's

Sony's stock earbuds...the E818 or something like that....and airplane phones!

i'm also thinking of doing this, the Sony's treble is very shrill!

i haven't heard of coby, but labtec stuff just sounds horrid!

based on what i read here, it depends on what cd player it's comming out of....but for the possibility of upgrading the source, just go with the 225's

Quote: Originally posted by nania el_diablo007 I never said the UR20 was sweet on top but with the source and recordings I used it was certainly less offensive than the HD212 and considering that most college buying clubs price it in the $15 range, I felt guilty about picking on it...

in my experience....the UR20's treble is simply unbearable!

What's the difference between the two plugs?
