i want to replace my needle and cartridge on my father's old dual 606 turntable. any info about replacing a cartridge would be greatly appreciated or any advice on cartridges that will fit my turntable will be greatly appreciated. here are some pictures of the cartridge. thanks in advance

be careful if there's traffic. you don't wanna get hit maybe just a canalphone like creative ep630 sennheiser cx300 in terms of clarity and comfort, the er6i trump my shure e3g. but thats just my two cents and if bi or triflanges aren't your thing, you can always get foamies, comply tips...

okay, my school newspaper not done by me, but a fellow headfier

since when were these on the market? i can't find it on the ultimate ears website or earphonesolutions. http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Ears-.../dp/B000JFHEL4 edit: these have been out for a month or two... so i guess they're not that popular, nothing like the vibe hype lately

there are three cables coming out of my father's old turntable. two rca, and this thing. i'm assuming is a grounding wire...so where do i put it if my amp doesn't have a grounding slot?

i was at dsw today making a return and saw these pair of rocketdog woman's shoe

During the commercials in today's new episode of The Office, a pair of grados popped up. it was a commercial for pre-school. some teenager had a pair of sr225? around his neck. they were the black plastic and might have had a silver mesh. the commercial for for californians only, i think...

i'm getting a little dot tube amp soon. i use my bithead and hd580 most the time, but i wanted to upgrade my more stationary rig. if using the same files, would an ipod's lineout or my bithead's headphone jack be a better source for my little dot amp? also, would my turbodock be a better...

does anyone know where i can buy invisible shields or equivalents for a 3G ipod and a 4G ipod? or maybe i can just guy some 5G ones and cut off the excess? any help is appreciated

http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/new...earphones/8913 its for ipods only. the big box the iems are attached to look really awkward and uncomfortable. i'm excited to see how they match up to wired iems

so we all know that there are demo triports and quietcomforts everywhere...but what about the iems? wouldn't there be a sanitary issue?

my maxxed portaphile has a strange problem. after about 5 minutes after being turned on, the portaphile produces a constant whine. i have tried changing the battery. anyone else have a similar problem?

i just got my pa2v2 back from gary. he lowered the gain to 2.5, but i think its still too loud with an ipod's line out and my alessandros. should i get attenuator? or mail it back to gary for an even lower gain setting?

am i the only one who noticed this?

so i've read the whole "in search of the dark side holy grail" thread and just got more confused. of the more common releases of Dark Side of the Moon, which should i buy? i'm hoping it will be one of these three Black cover with words blue, sacd 30 year import? or maybe a...

and with my pa2v2, its really loud i've been using only my koss ksc75 with the volume slider. but i am eager to listen to my new rig with my good cans. is a volume attenuator the only way to go?

sighh and i was saving up my money for a new amp

i got a little curious and started to take apart my koss ksc75 so i took off the grey caps and put the clips back on and got this result: more comfortable because the clips have more room for rotation then i realized that leaving the soldering joints bare could damage my headphones so...

what should be my next upgrade? sorry if this is the wrong forum. i wanted to post it here because this is busiest forum here at headfi. i'll also include a bit of my history because i have time to kill. if you don't want to read...go to the last lines when i was first interested in audio...

Before I start the comparison, let me say that I am very new to headfi and music as a whole. The rig I will be using is the same in my signature; 4G ipod headphone jack – pa2v2 amp – a maxell headphone splitter to reduce jack stress from the – ratshack 6.5mm to 3.5mm adaptor – Alessandro ms2i...
