Having a magical moment with my new PS1000e, IFI Retro 50 (not new) and the stunning Fink album "Fink Meets the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra". PS1000e is well beyond my wildest dreams of musicality in a headphone.

I may have a MadEar+HD for sale, soon.......or I may be open to trade towards RS1..or RS2e with brown headband....or toward a nice pair of GEC, or Osram or,Marconi 6AS7G tubes  

How about a cat? Will you trade it for a cat? Or if not, then TWO cats? I will email them to you so you don't have shipping fees or shipping delays.

PLEEEASSEEE?

 
Oh.....lord no!
 
I hate cats  

 
Maybe I would go for a cute little puppy, though.

I like the ones that just want to give you kisses all the time, and not to big or to small...maybe 25 pounds.
 
If you want the Mad Ear...let me know...we can work something out....cept i have already sold all of the good tubes to help fund my 6/12/25 SN7 addiction

I have some Grados(great headphones, btw) that need to be recabled. I have never soldered before. How would I approach this?

 
It's not that difficult, simply go out and rent an ARC welding machine, with a few 1/8'', 7018 rods, set the machine at 225 amps. Take your time, and you shouldn't have any problems, I mean, what's the worst that can happend?....ok so, your headphones might get destroyed, simply buy a new pair, and try again with a lower amperage, say 200 or so.
 
Oh!, and don't forget to get the helmet and protective gloves, safety first.

There is a wealth of info on youtube and the rest of the internet teaching you how to solder. Learn how and practice alot on scrap before you tackle the real project. You will be glad you did, and will save money in the future.

You say that you hate cats, but have you ever eaten any? I like mine with mushroom sauce, glazed baby carrots. and a glass of white wine.
 
Relax everybody, I was just kidding...I know that we're not suppose to drink white wine with red meat.

Don't listen to this idiot. I know for a fact that he is very strongly medicated, wich gives him ridiculous ideas. His meds can also cause a split personnality....no it doesn't...yes it does...no it doesn't!

 
Anyway, DO NOT use an ARC welder on your headphones, everyone knows that a MIG welder is the way to go.

With a soldering iron! TA-DUN TISSS!!!
Haha, sorry for the lame joke. Youtube is your friend! I believe Turbulent Labs has a how to soldering the cable video. Also lots of soldering for begginers videos, they are very helpful!

Ah, I almost forgot, don't forget to visit the post your Grado mods thead, lots of info and helpful people there.

Hi. Wonder if you can help? Does anyone have the Gardo PS500e and the Beyerdynamic T90? If so, can you tell me how they compare sound wise please? Thanks.
