Audio-Technica ATHCK7

I bought these pair of beauties a few weeks back. I was initially very disappointed as the ear phones sounded harsh and lacked bass. And then after reading the other reviews I realized that to get the real sound of them you need to have a very good seal when you wear this ear phone. Unfortunately the stock silicone tips which shipped with the ear phones had a poor fit.

Audio Technica AT440MLA

Bought this because my dj-specific needles were producing nasty inner groove distortion (IGD) on many of my records regardless of how many times I would align and re-align them. I set this cartridge and needle up on a Technics headshell, aligned it once with a protractor, dropped in on the inner track of a particularly-nasty sounding record, and was amazed by how clearly it played back.

Audio-Technica ATR-35S

Great mike to use. Very pleased as it is very easy to use. I bought this one because of all the good reviews here on Amazon about it. Thanks for the opinions!

Audio-Technica ATH-EW9

I'm going to level with you... I don't know anything about music... or music theory. What I do know is I love the heck out of these headphones. These are pretty. They honestly look like a very expensive musical instrument. These things look like they should belong in a steampunk alternate reality.

Audio Technica AT6012

Having collected records for several years now, I have found it hard to decide how to go about maintaining the cleanliness of my records, old and new. Google search result after Google search result seems to find nothing but risky homemade remedies and advertisements for expensive, impractical devices.

Audio Technica AT2041

These are darned nice mics. For about $1000 more per mic, you could start getting better mics, but not a whole lot better.

Audio-Technica ATH-ESW9A

I previously purchased the Klipsch Image One headphones (which are superior to these in ONLY one area--the iPhone/iPod in-line remote control) but wanted to try these out. I'm glad I did. First impression when you take these out of the box is "Luxe." The ear pads are lambskin and the wood is a beautiful, nice touch. Even the headband is padded with "Protein Leather" whatever that is. High end styling meets audiophile in these phones.
