    Grado Headphones OR Maverick Audio Tubemagic Amp for new Pink Floyd record

    I've always felt something special listening to Gilmour's guitar with Grados. Looking forward to the new album myself :)

    Show us your Head-Fi station at it's current state. No old pictures please...

    Overhauled my setup since last summer (and still just as bad at photography).

    Joe Grado's new earpads for the HP1000

    They are $60 a pair, or I should say they were. Yesterday I was informed by Joe that he only offers them with the upgrade now sadly.

    Joe Grado's new earpads for the HP1000

    Sorry for resurrecting this old thread, but does anyone want to buy in on a batch of at least 4 or more sets of these? I had the opportunity to speak with Joe recently and because of the work that goes into making these he would prefer to create a bunch at a time if needed.

    HD800 - Pink Floyd Time - Very Shrill Bells

    I use a pair of RS1s for PF and I know exactly what you mean. I've always found the Animals album, specifically Dogs, had some shrill but oh so sweet guitar. Ditto for some parts of Shine On You Crazy Diamond. You could check out the squawking in the middle of Echoes as well. With that said I...

    JVC JL-A20 TT

    I've been interested in getting into vinyl some day and ran across my dad's old JL-A20 turntable and vinyl collection. I'm just curious if anyone knows how this model ranks among others? The belt drive and stylus look to be needing a replacement, which seems like a cheap fix.

    Next upgrade

    I'm looking for the next big thing to upgrade. Like my sig says I have an emu 0404(computer as source) to a glite(without psu), and using mostly the rs1 and 650s. I'm in a bit of a pickle as to what to throw my money at now, I'm leaning towards a cardas upgrade for the 650s, but whether that...

    HD580 & HF-1, looking for a new sound

    Thanks for the replies. The 501 definitely sounds like a worthy buy. Is there a site like yourmusic.com but without the flat rate of one cd per month? *Slightly offtopic but where can I order 'upgrade' parts for the 580 like new grills, cables and pads without calling Sennheiser directly?

    HD580 & HF-1, looking for a new sound

    I'm looking for a new sound, my source is a 0404 + gilmore lite with an hf1 and hd580. Some of the choices that popped in my head were grabbing a pair of DT990, HD600/650, AKG 701s. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Sirius Radio Bitrate Quality

    I signed up for the 3 day free trial and tried some of the stream lists on their site, I can't say it sounded good at all either. I'm wondering what bitrate they use and will it only sound bad when streamed and not if I use the actual receiver plugged into my comp? Or is it just the 3 day trial...

    DAV-DX250 or HS Classic

    Which amp would give a bigger boost to phones like the 580s; an HS Classic or the headphone output on a DAV-DX250 receiver? I tried to find specs on the old classic but couldn't come up with any, but here is some info on the receiver: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=3880831

    Pondering new amp for the 580s

    Hello, my setup is 0404 > Headsave Classic (Mini) > 580s. I'm wondering if a Gilmore Lite would be that much better than my current Mini amp. Other than that I'm pretty set on keeping the 0404 as my source for a couple years yet. Thanks in advance!

    Buying Grados in Canada?

    Thank you for all the replies. I've been looking at the MS1 today and it does seem like a better deal than the SR60 considering I might also be able to get a friend to ship it across. The Alessandro site says "Buy Online Now and receive a 25% Discount PLUS Free Shipping". Is that 25% of $99 or...

    Does anyone know of any Canadian places or dealers that will ship Grado headphones? Thanks!

    0404 not playing sounds

    Does anyone else have a problem with the 0404 not playing certain sounds at all, like in games or even the windows startup song? I have a feeling it is patchmix because I also tried hooking up my revo 7.1 to the 0404's input digitally. What that did was allow me to hear a couple more sounds than...

    Grado pad types - clearing up

    How comfortable really are the comfies? Doesn't the driver practically touch your ear if the pad gets worn down enough?

    Grado pad types - clearing up

    My question is, what pads are on Grados nowadays? I'm looking to expand from my 580s over to a comparable quality Grado can. I heard stories that stock models only come in comfies instead of bowls now, is that true? What pads does Allesandro use? Coming from a pair of wireless RCA headphones I...

    Comparable 0404 Card

    What about a mini to mini coupler, would that degrade sound quality slightly?

    Comparable 0404 Card

    Are there any comparable cards to the e-mu 0404? Does the 1212 have the same way of connecting as the 0404? And are they any m-audio cards with the same quality?

    0404 R/L channels in L speaker

    Actually this makes a little sense, it's just a little mind boggling to think about. So for my amp to go straight into the card I'm looking at something like this? http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...t%5Fid=15-2430 Which plugs into 2 of these...

    0404 R/L channels in L speaker

    Like the problem states, I'm getting both L and R channels through my left speaker (Altec 2.1 setup). My amp is an HS Classic, and the same problem also occurs when I plug my 580s into it. Also, switching the plugs around into the card still showed both L/R in the left speaker. This is what I'm...
