    David Hasselhoff: The Antichrist?

    How could Mr. America, whose pubic hair-esque golden locks and swimming skils betray us all and use his good looks and manliness for evil? This website explains it all, that David Hasselhoff is THE ANTICHRIST! http://www.esquilax.com/baywatch/ (By the way, this is a joke, but the site is...

    Party for One: Share your love for bad music with the world

    I've created the ultimate game. It's great fun alone, or with a small group of friends. It mixes well with alcohol, is also fun sober, and is best enjoyed when a lot of people are home, preferably outside and near your window... The idea is simple: play horrible music really loudly and sing...

    Berlin Mini-Meet

    Hi again everyone! Slight change in plans, I will be free and available in Berlin from 16 May until 19 May, and would love to have a mini-meet. I'll have a portable amp (probably Supermicro or Porta Corda II), some HD-590s, and my portable MP3 player. Of course, I'll also bring music, and...

    HELP: Advice for moving out (and being broke)

    Hi there, everybody. I'm sure a lot of you were totally broke at one point. Between jobs. Living on a diet of Ramen while scraping your way through college, etc. After 20 years of living with my folks, it's time to leave the homestead for a taste of freedom and poverty. Right now, I'm...

    FS: Grado SR-325 (shameless plug)

    Howdy everyone. I've fallen for the Senn HD600s, and can't seem to enjoy the Grado 325s the way I used to. They're still great cans, they just aren't for me. I've put them on ebay, so if anyone's interested, take a look. Yes, these are mine... like I said, a totally shameless plug. Thanks for...

    Stax 2020 channel imbalance -- help!

    I've had used Stax 2020s for about a month now, and recently, I've noticed that after a few minutes of using them, the sound seems to shift to the right channel. The left channel still works, but lead singers -- and everything else -- move to about halfway between center stage and my right ear...

    Grace 901 owner in Ohio or Michigan?

    Howdy everybody! I've been pretty heavy into upgrade madness lately -- nearly everything in my sig, I bought since January of this year. At any rate, I'm thinking about getting the Grace 901 from caliguy, but I really want to try it first; this hobby gets really really expensive if you buy...

    Market price for Baby Orpheus

    Does anyone know how much I could expect to pay for Sennheiser's Baby Orpheus combo? I haven't seen them for sale in a while, so I really have no idea. Thanks! Tony

    Ety v. Grado v. Senn v. Stax: How should I setup the review?

    I've decided: I'm going to eliminate some redundancies in my system. But before I sell off some of my cherished gear, I'd like to write a huge review to help other head-fiers figure out their "next step." And to make things interested, it'll be a blind A/B test (that is, I'll have my brother...

    Sprechen Sie Deutsch? -- paper editing swap

    I'm currently a sixth-year German student, but I'm still making mistakes in my papers. Does anyone here speak and write fluent German? I'd like to humbly offer my editing services in exchange for someone correcting my Aufsaetze. I was student of the year in my Advanced Placement (AP -- the...

    Grado EQ Settings

    Howdy! I just wondered if anybody has some EQ settings for the Gradoline, especially the SR-325s (see my profile ). I'm getting a little annoyed with their brightness, now that I have a pair of Senns. And listening to the new Norah Jones album is impossible with them. Can the highs be...

    Northwest Ohio/Southern Michigan Meet

    Just wondering if anybody would be interested in a meet in Toledo, Ohio. It's about 3 1/2 hours for Columbus and Cleveland, an hour from Detroit, an hour from Windsor, and 4 hours from Pittsburg and Chicago. In short, it's a day trip if your state harvests lots of wheat I'll have to see if...

    GIVEAWAY: Sennheiser headphones for free

    Howdy everbody! A few days ago, somebody gave away perfectly good 'phones, and it inspired me. I'm going to give back to the community a little bit (I'm a starving college student, so I can't give back too much). I just bought the phones a few hours ago... turns out the ones I bought are...

    Beatles - hi-fi recordings and compilations

    I love Sgt. Pepper's and Rubber Soul, but I really haven't heard much of the Beatles' stuff. I know I need to get the White Album and Revolver. But I'm wondering, would it be better to get the Anthology? How does it sound, and what material is on it? Also, Yellow Submarine was remastered...

    $200 CDP - suggestions?

    Hi everybody! Right now, I'm sure my system is being held down by my crappy Toshiba DVD player. I'm running: Perreaux amp --> Grado 325s and Senn 600s Stax 2020 system I have a few CD players in mind that cost about $200, was wondering if anybody had experience with them or had any other...

    Sennheiser HD-600 Fold-down mod

    I've wanted to rotate the Senn phones like Grados, so I can store them in a smaller container for travel. Does anybody know how to do this mod?

    Converting the Masses

    I let my brother use my rig at home, and he loves it! He half-jokingly complained that the bass line in "In da' club" (or whatever) distorted with my Perreaux amp cranked up (the 'phones weren't on his head, of course - I don't want him to go deaf!). But other than that, he loves the tight bass...

    Etymotic's New Ety-Com Cell Phone Headset

    I just thought fellow head-fiers should know about Ety's new cell phone handset.. it's basically an ER-4 (or ER-6, I'm guessing) canalphone with a noise-canceling mike. I can't wait to get one - no more shoddy-sounding cell calls at concerts or in the car! From etymotics.com: "The...

    Modding the Perreaux SXH-1 Amp

    Perreaux's amp is rock-solid, from what everything I've read says, and opening up the case confirms that. But I'm already wondering, what can we do to improve on it? I'm thinking: better parts upgraded powercord better caps better resistors higher-end jacks ??? Any ideas? This has...

    New recording of Mozart's Requiem

    I heard there's a new version of Mozart's Requiem. Evidently, the arranger (is this the right word?) studied Mozart's, Constance's, and some other guy's notes to piece together a more complete version. Does anyone know where I can find this CD? Thanks!

    Recommendations for $200-$300 CD player

    I finally plunked down the money for the awesome Perreaux amp, Grado 325s, and Senn 600s, but I still have weak treble and bass that doesn't extend as deeply as I'd like. I'm pretty sure that my source is the weak link in this system. I think my two-year-old Toshiba DVD player needs to go...
