    Recabled KSC75/35: HD600 cable vs DIY?

    Has anyone had the opportunity to listen critically to a Koss recabled with the Senn HD600 cable? Has anyone compared a DIY recable to a recable using the Senn cable?

    Beyer DT431 VS DT531?

    Anyone? I've read the very few posts concerning the DT431's but was hoping someone could post a more direct comparison between it and it's, previously FOTM, big brother the DT531. I won a pair of 431's off Ebay and after putting the pads from my HP890's on them I think they sound very good...

    UR40: The forgotten Koss 60 ohm headphone?

    With all the (deserved) buzz about the KSC75's there has also been a lot of talk about the other Koss 60 ohm headphones, namely the: KSC35, Portapro, Sportapro, Portapro 2 and even a little chatter about the KTX Pro1. But in the myriad of threads about these little gems there is one headphone...

    How do I get my "xxx+ Member" status changed?

    I know it's petty, but I celebrated my 500th post recently but my status still says "100+ Member". Does a moderator have to change this or will it change on it's own eventually?

    My 500th Post!

    That's all I wanted. I know it pales in comparison to many here. But it's a milestone for me and I just wanted to share it with you all.

    Do the CX300's have the "Sennheiser Sound"?

    I recently got the CX300's and love them. But, the only other Sennheiser I've heard is the HD590, which most say don't sound like any of the other Sennheiser's. So, what I would like to know is if the CX300's share a similar sound signature with any of the other Sennheiser headphones.

    Any ATH-ADxxx Owners out there?

    Well, Audio Technica has finally started marketing to the USA (about time) so I'm curious if anyone has taken the plunge and tried the AD300/500/700/900. They seem to be reasonably priced, are very sexy looking and, if their closed counterparts are any indication, should sound pretty nice as well.

    I have a pair of Beyer DT831's that need new pads but I can't seem to find any anywhere. Does anyone have any idea where I might find some? Thanks.

    Time to upgrade - suggestions?

    Well, my Cmoy has served me well but I think it's time to try something a little better. Unfortunately, the family keeps insisting on eating everday so I need to keep it in the $100 - $125 range. I know that's not much, but I've got faith in you guys. I listen to a myriad of music (rock...

    Vintage receiver as an amp?

    Hey guys (and dolls), I have a Kyocera R-451 receiver that I bought brand new many years ago and am thinking of using it as an amp. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I would love to buy a dedicated amp but just can't justify the cost at this time. Currently I am using a Cmoy so surely the...

    Head-Fi Wallpaper

    I remember seeing a couple of different versions of wallpaper of the Head-Fi logo a while back but now I can't find them anywhere. Anyone know where they are?

    Where can I get replacement pads for my Beyer's?

    I am looking for replacement pads for my DT831's and need help. I think they are the same pads that the 770's use but I have been unable to find out how to get them in the US. I have checked the various Beyer websites and have emailed their US customer service but haven't heard from them. Does...

    Koss HV/1 High Velocity Micro-Weight Stereophone

    Anyone have any experience with these? I just aquired a pair (circa 1976) off Ebay and am giving them a first listen. They are missing the "acoustical sponge cushions". I have email Koss on the off chance they still have some replacements laying around. In the mean time I have been able to make...

    Audio Technica Mystery Cans

    I just picked up a pair of Audio Technica ATH-909's on E-Bay but I can't find any information on them anywhere. Does anyone here have any experience with these or has anyone at least heard of them. The picture isn't very good so I can't even tell if they are open or closed. Thanks ;~}

    DT231 Sound Signature?

    I just picked up a used pair of Beyer DT231's (should have them next week) because I have been wanting to try the Beyer sound and this was a way to do it with minimal investment. My question is this, how do the 231's sound compared to the rest of the Beyer lineup? Do they have a similar sound...

    What do I need to get started?

    I am interested in building a DIY amp and cable but am starting completely from scratch. I am hoping for some suggestions on what I need to get started (as far as tools and accessories) and any tips from those that have DIY experience. Thanks in advance.

    ATH AD5

    Does anyone (other than DJ Mocok of course) have any experience with the AD5 or any of the open AT cans? The A500 and A900 are commonly regarded as the best closed headphones in their price range and the AD5 and AD9 appear to be open versions of those. I'm looking for good all-around headphones...

    HELP! I have been hanging around Head-Fi for awhile now and am finally ready to take the plunge. However, with nowhere locally to audition any audiophile grade equipment, and so many options to choose from, I need HELP!! I have compiled the following list of headphones that seem well regarded...

    DT231's or SR-60's?

    Since search is disabled I thought I would just start a new thread to get feedback on this. I am a noob looking to purchase my first pair of good headphones but want to stay under $100. The Grado SR-60's and Beyer DT231's are comparably priced and both seem well regarded in this price range. I...
