right on about the er4b, is there a way to wire them so that both Left and Right would play in the Right canal? i just want to see if there is a way we can "round out" his listening experience... thanx

well given that recordings are in stereo, he would like to hear both the left and right tracks into his right ear... does that sum up the problem?

Ladies and Gentlemen, A very good friend of mine, who happens to be a rather talented musician, is deaf in his left ear. He has asked me to help create a single sided rig with mid-fi to hi-fi quality sound. Listening interests of his include the Talking Heads to Muse, and some more classic...

MS1

x2 on amping the dt770 ...and I hate to say this, but just get both; I happen to prefer the MS1 to the sr125 though.

x2 rycet I doubt he even shows, but you will get the judgment against him in that case... Get the ol' sheriff to collect for ya, d

wikipedia has lots of stuff,otherwise amazon or cdbaby etc..

late-twenty's; hasn't stopped me from listening...

sorry for the second post... here's a link: PenguinAmp.com - Pre-Drilled Tin

Robert will replace the box at cost of the tin if you send it back to him. Alternatively he offers pre-drilled penguin replacement cases on his website. It is not hard to switch out the cases, and it is certainly a cheaper option than hammond. later, dbd

its not really a fair question... Pablo Honey was when i fell in love with the band. HAIL TO THE THIEF!!!

my ms-1's leak like crazy... i was listening to some music in an empty room today and as it filled up i was sure everyone could here it even though the volume was set at a 'relatively' moderate level... I guess it did not help that I was screaming, "Blood, Sugar Baby!"

I really like the penguin amps and have found it to be a very nice improvement over the stock amplification in my ipods. While I originally got it to power a pair of high impedance headphones I was trying, I quickly found that I was using it to power my MS-1's (32ohms) and my DT770 pro 80 ohm. I...

I like my penguin caffeine ultra with dt770. price is right and it is really a quality product. penguinamp.com

better change indeed rock the ms-1

I have used Rockbox on both my 5.5g iPod 80gb and Nano. I find it much more pleasant on the flash based 1g nano, but still agree that the benefits outweigh any issues.

TIMBUK2 last you forever, and if not they'll send you another no problem... been running around with one for almost ten years (know i had it by '99; but can't remember when I got it) in nyc.

Thanx Febs, I do have the actual Albums/EP's as applicable (in most cases); i just did not want to have to convert them all again...

I have to agree with the folks who point out that large soundstage is nice for certain things and not others. I, like a couple of posters in this thread, love to listen to Grado/Alessandro HP's for rock music. It took my a while to get used to the soundstage of the DT770 when I first got them...

while all of these are great albums and I listen to them all, I would have to say the album from 1975 that I most listen to currently and would probably be my favorite at the moment is "The Mothership Connection" Parliment; if not "One Size Fits All" Zappa which is, of course, awesome.

I am sure this is a silly question, and I have a feeling I know the answer, but want to be sure. Does the rock box installation process remove all tracks currently on the ipod? I ask because my ipod is 80gb far exceeding my computers HD capacity and I do not want to have to rip my whole music...

looking for my first portable amp. think i like these two mostly for price. will be listening with ms-1's or dt770 pro/80s. any advice would be great or another recco for an inexpensive portable amp that would be a step up from the nano's headphone jack. thanx in advance...

DT770 Pro/80 (from apple lossless)

I prefer the ms-1 to the sr-80/60 but the 225's are nice as well. I agree with earlier poster that you should defeinitely try the grado style for as long as you can before you buy (I love them, but some people find them really uncomfortable.) enjoy

Don't leave out the Alessandro series... I definitely prefer the MS-1 to the lower level Grado's
