Moon Voice Nano CMOY
Now here is a shocking little CMOY with an unbelievably high power output (for a CMOY, and portable). We’re not talking about driving AKG K501s or Sennheiser HD650s here. I’m talking driving an AKG K340 with a CMOY.
Calico’s Woody Workshop
Calico produces the most beautiful Woody housing I have ever seen. Sadly he doesn’t have an online shop, so it might be tough to get in touch with him. If there is enough demand, I can ask him if I can post his contact information here. Anyway here are some samples of his work:
AKG K340 Bass Heavy Version
The AKG K340 is a one of a kind headphone produced by AKG that employs two drivers system: Electrostatic and Dynamic in one cans.
Washing Your Grado Bowls
The bowls are crucial to soundstaging and sound positioning. As they get older, they get softer and they place the driver closer to your ear. As a result, sound is more congested and more frontal. Some people also wash the bowls as they get dirty, and this also makes the bowls very soft and again you get congested and more frontal sound. If you can live with those effects, you can wash your bowls when they are new to soften it and makes it more comfortable on your ears.
This is how you wash the bowls:
Grado RS1 and Alessandro MS-Pro
The Grado RS1 and the Alessandro MS-Pro share so much similarities in outward appearance, and upon brief listening sessions, many people can’t distinguish the difference in their sound.
Sennheiser HD 25-1
Sennheiser’s HD25-1 is perhaps a one of a kind headphone, with no other manufacturer offering anything similar to what the HD25-1 has.
Grado HF2
The HF2 has a very smooth and liquid sound. It’s like listening to a smooth vacuum tube amp (although we were using a solid-state Beta22 amplifier). Although the MS-Pro has a smooth sound, the HF2 is even smoother. No other Grado sounds like it; not the HP1000, not the RS1, and definitely not the GS1000.
