I was browsing Sunnyvale Fry's after work yesterday when I noticed that they have Denon C700 for $82. It's the best deal that I've seen for these cans so far and my guess is that they're not able to sell them at retail price so they've been discounting them to get rid of them. The Sunnyvale...

i recently picked up a SRS-005A from Japan as my first set of electrostatic headphones. unfortunately the right channel begins to crackle after a few seconds of having the amp turned on and continues to crackle for much longer after the amp is turned off. if i pull the headphone plug from the...

I'm currently listening to The Whitest Boy Alive on a recently purchased pair of RS1 and really digging the way the CD sounds. In the past, the CD was enjoyable but with the RS1, they've got my toes tapping. So this is my third pair of RS1 and hearing this pair is really making me wonder why I'd...

On my last business trip, I lugged my Nikon D70s around Japan with me and there were a few times when I missed a great shot because of the time that I took me to get the camera out of my bag. Along with the weight of the D70s and Tamron 17-50mm lens, the size had made the camera a bit difficult...

Just curious if most of you are working today. I'm working from home today and quite a few coworkers are taking half day off or like me they're working from home. Maybe I'm lucky because I can telecommute and it's considered acceptable here in Silicon Valley as long as you get your work done...

hey guys, i'm here in japan right now on a business trip and just wondering if anyone knows where to go to get camera gear at a decent price. i know there's akihabara, a nikon store in Ginza across from the Nissan showroom and also near the south exit at Shinjuku there are supposed to be lots of...

I don't know about you guys but I would really like to reduce my collection of headphones and be as minimalist as possible. The main problem that I have is that it's so hard for me to let go of some in my collection. For example, I still have the HF1 even though I almost never use it but for...

As I took off my fleece jacket, I started to hear my jacket crackle from static electricity build up and a split second later, I felt an electric charge jump from my ears to my ec700ti, which were connected to my Corda Aria. The amp must've locked up at the moment the ESD (electrostatic...

I recently helped Kugino recable his K81DJ with Mogami mini quad cable and Neutrik connector. I’ve done this in the past with another pair, which I ended up giving to my cousin. This recent recable was a great opportunity to contrast a stock pair with a recabled pair. Please note that the foam...

This is the second pair of iGrado that I’ve gotten as my first pair developed a defect with the right driver where it would cut in and out. In the end, it just gave up and stopped working altogether. Luckily this pair did not have that same problem. Major kudos to TTVJ for getting this second...

I arrived in Taiwan a few days ago on a business trip and I'm still getting my butt kicked by jetlag. Mornings aren't too bad but once afternoon rolls around, I start to get tired at which time I grab a cup of coffee. This lasts me long enough for dinner and after that I get tired enough to want...

It's been three years here and I've finally made it to Headphoneus Supremus. It's been a lot of fun along the way and have talked to a lot of great people here about headphones and everything else in general. Thanks to everyone for making this such a great community and a place that I want to...

I'm currently traveling through Europe on vacation right now and today is one of those days that I have more time on my hands from sightseeing so I decided to visit Head-fi and see what's going on. just wanted to say hi to everyone from athens. it's a great city, with so many amazing historical...

i'm going to be taking a vacation to italy and greece in june and would like to purchase a good camera for the trip so that i can take some decent shots. i currently have a sony T1 but it's too automatic and won't do what i want it to do sometimes. i had considered purchasing a digital SLR but i...

Last night while I was driving home after dinner, I think I ran over a cat. It was on the freeway onramp from downtown San Jose to 280N. It was about 9PM and since there was a car in front of me, I didn't have a whole view of the onramp. The cat was smart enough to wait for the car in front of...

i just got my first acoustic guitar tonight from guitar center. the salesman suggested that i get a yamaha fg750s. it sounded better than the other yamaha models when he demo'd it for me as i don't know how to play yet. so just wondering if you guys have any suggestions for a beginner player...

i can't believe i've finally hit the big 1000! maybe someday i'll be a headphonus supremus but at this rate, who knows how much longer it'll take. thanks to everyone for making this such a great community and for teaching me so much about music and heaphones! without you guys, i would not...

after receiving my k240s and logging a few hours on them stock, i was really disappointed with the sound. i suppose i could understand why they were designed this way for studio use but they didn't do anything for me for enjoyment of music. in fact, now that i think about it, they remind me of...

i've been meaning to put this together for a while now as i took my last trip to japan almost a month ago but i guess better late than never. i got pulled on a last minute trip to tokyo for work and after my meetings were over, i had a few days over a weekend in tokyo to shop and meet with...

it was about 7pm and time to call it a day at work. i'd been thinking about doing this mod for a while and didn't think that it would take too long to do so i just went ahead and did it. in the past, there was talk about some people putting a 75ohm resistor inline on their ksc35 with good...

i've just received a new set of ksc35 that i recently purchased off ebay. having had these before, i thought i knew how the sounded but it was at least a year ago that i had sold them. at the time, i had only ran these out of my ipod and after comparing these to other cans i had at the time...

Just wondering if anyone other than Bangraman has had any experience with the Audio Technica ES5's. Hifi in Taipei has them in stock right now and I'm wondering if these would be a good replacement for the PX200 that I sold a while ago. I liked the PX200 sound but something that I couldn't...

I'm working on my first CMoy amp and have most of the parts ready. I basically followed Tangent's list (thanks for putting that together!) and ordered it all from Digikey. The only problem now is that they are back ordered on the OPA2132PA until 9/28. I've tried Mouser but they don't seem to...
