Asking a manufacturer to produce High-end cans. Would you pay for advanced? How much?
The idea arised at the High-End forum on the "PS-1 Wow" thread. More or less by page 3 it was suggested that it could be interesting to know how many people are willing to approach John Grado to produce a new top notch product, like the PS-1 or HP-1000. From there it could be considered...- Cool_Torpedo

Audio Technica ATH-L3000, the only High-End AT?
Some of you may recall a thread that I opened a few days ago commenting about my purchasing a pair of L3000 to Lobstersan, who has become or in the process of becoming a MOT since he started his own bussiness. He's set up an interesting service to get japanese rarities from their auctions sites...- Cool_Torpedo

Do you consider any Grado headphone as High-end?
I had thought to start this thread as a poll including the usual suspects like PS-1, HP-1000 (HP-2 and HP-1), GS-1000, RS-1... but for my lack of knowledge managing it to allow multiple answers, just in case someone thought several models qualified, then I've decided to leave it as is. I've...- Cool_Torpedo

Jazz: Modern big band recommendation
Hi mates, Just wanted to share with you a wonderful disc that's been recently released by Rick Wald (saxophonist, composer and arranger based in NYC) and his ensemble 16nyc. I already had their first release titled "Castaneda's dreams", issued in 2006 which was IMHO one of the best...- Cool_Torpedo

Questions to iPod Touch owners
- I'm considering to purchase one of these. I'd be thankful if you could tell me whether the unit displays somewhere (browsing inside or on the instructions-warranty leaflet) the device's MAC number to allow it accessing the Wifi router in my home network. I have the router restricted for only...- Cool_Torpedo

Sony 818 or Sony 618 for SQ alone
I'm still narrowing my choices for a portable flash player in the 8Gb memory range. I've discarded Cowon players since they're not available here and have some concerns about SQ. I can't get a Sansa Fuze here for the lack of distribution and no shipping ouside US, NZ, Canada and Aus at...- Cool_Torpedo

Please read and participate: When reading a review, what cans do you like used as a comparison term?
I've read many reviews in this site and elsewhere. Many of them include reference to headphones that you don't know at all, and which is worse, you'll never have the chance to own or even listening to them, so comparisons are pretty worthless. I have always wondered what cans into the...- Cool_Torpedo

AKG 324P / 416P
Hi mates, I wonder if any of you has had the chance to listen to any of these two, or owns them. I've seen them at a local shop and the looks are nice, but couldn't try them (sealed enclosure which the clerk won't open) nor even having them in my hands. They're affordable and for sensivity...- Cool_Torpedo

Presentation and question
It's my first post in this site. I registered yesterday, but I've been reading your reviews and comments for a long time. I could be considered an "audiophile" for the time and effort spent in getting decent sound quality from my audio gadgets, but I'm more a music lover, hence I also enjoy...- Cool_Torpedo
