Head-Fi Gear
- Headphone Inventory
- * Phonak Audeo PFE 122 (w/ NO FILTERS, Audeo Silicone Ear Guides, & Audeo Silicone Tips)
* Sleek Audio SA-6 (w/ cable, "+" Treble Stems adorned w/ Audeo Sm Silicone Tips,
"+" Bass Port Caps (with filter packing removed for extra breathing and bigger bass image)
* etymotic ER*4-P (w/ Audeo Comply Foam Tips)
* v-moda bass freq rocker red (w/ Audeo Silicone Ear Guides, & Audeo Silicone Tips)
* Grado SR-60 (stock) - Headphone Amp Inventory
- * iBasso D10 Cobra Amp/DAC
* iBasso T4 4-Channel Amp
* FiiO E5 Amp
* Boostaroo Revolution 4-Channel Amp - Source Inventory
- *Auzen X-Meridain 7.1 Soundcard with all four channels upgraded to Burr-Brown OPA627AU opamps.
* iRiver iHP-120 with rockbox firmware
* COWON O2PMP BLACK 32GB - Cable Inventory

- (upgraded OP-AMPs to Texas-Instruments Burr-Brown OPA627AU)
- (Linux uses snd_oxygen.ko && ALSA dmix driver under PulseAudio Sound Server) - Audio-Related Tweaks
- I like to use the Phonak Audeo Silicone Ear Tips with most of my IEMs. They just sound better than even the Comply Foam Tips. They wiggle and giggle and give more base "I'm Here" presence and harmony.
I've also manually ported my Phonak Audeo PFE 122's for enhanced Bass (and a slight treble increase by sheer chance) Sounds like a Sub is attached to them now!
I've chopped into my Sleek Audio Bass Port Caps to expose 1/2 of the tube to air while retaining structural stability and removability of the cap/modularity of the system or as I call it "Super Porting" the Sleek SA-6.
I've also removed the filter packing from the (+) Bass Port Cap to create a (++) Bass Port Cap which is punchier than the "Super Ported" "(+++)" Cap (that has a "loudspeaker" sound) - Gear-Fi (Favorite Non-Audio Gear & Gadgets)
- My "Disco Duck" Trio of Pool Toys: They Light UP when you put em in the pool! slick!!
Um *blush* I saw them at Cost Plus for $5 bucks but they are still one of the most fun gifts I've been given.
Epson Perfection 750M Scanner: SO sharp and clear: and it scans film SOOOOO GOOD!
Epson 3800 Printer, I'm pinching my pennies to afford one of these beasties: I have the sample prints and am drooling over them to replace my lemon HP.

Sounds really VERY GOOD!!
I'm again, now that I can hear what uncompressed 16-bit FLAC sounds like, am quite impressed with the audio quality and character of this Handset.
The UI of the Music app is quite good for ANY Music player. It will be the fifth "DAP" (I suppose) that I own...
1) COWON D2 Classic 16GB Black [Sold]
2) iPhone 3G 8GB Black [Sold]
3) COWON O2 32GB Black [RMA]

Pretty isn't it? I wonder how it stacks up to the audio-gd compass with the earth module... Made in Deutschland... Nice enough 849.00 ouch! The compass is the better, yet less stylistic deal here. Stylistically I could hump this thing's leg and get it a bone and play fetch with it all day long... w00f!!
Oh and thanks to some careful reviewers of my musical genre...

And weep at how I lost the cornerstone of every album I had collected on CD since Junior High Scool. My entire Nine Inch Nails collection. Ministry. gone just like _that_... Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, The Sliver Soundtrack, Neneh Cherry, so MANY others...
