    SA5000 Restoration

    Hey Folks, I don't think I've been around here much since around the time of purchasing these headphones back when they were introduced in what 2008? I was able to enjoy them for quite awhile until the right side cut out maybe 10 years ago and they sat in storage since then. Thinking it was a...

    SQ on iPod Nano 2G 8GB is terrible!

    Yes. Ive told people so many times that the 2g nano is just not the same. I could hear the difference instantly. They downgraded in parts to save the .001" lol. They should have just made the case tougher...and im in. The line outs on all the pods are pretty decent though.

    Apple lossless vs. Lame MP3 @ 256

    Well, I don't know about the ALAC...but as for the .zip, i believe that say winzip, just compresses the file and the receiver unzipps or decompresses it in such a way that the file remains unchanged. Ive never had any issues with that. I think that the only way that they could get a corrupt file...

    6th Gen iPod in december (perhaps) ... TrustedReviews think so

    As the world's best quote of the critque of the touch screen ipod says.... "Great, now i would spend another couple hundred on a device that is great at taking fingerprints, who would of thought." Ill get one anyway. I have to have every silicon device lol.

    Another Best Solder Thread...

    .015 is so small. Maybe its good for smd, but i couldn't find myself to use it for like an xlr or 1/8 or such. I need like one roll of .025 and one of like .065 i guess.

    Another Best Solder Thread...

    good points man. What is the difference b/t the 44 series and the "no-clean" stuff? and isn't .025 butt small? Id say .065 is better? No?

    The Sony MDR-SA5000 Thread

    I do find that like the qualia's, the sa5k is amp sensitive and sounds nice with an amp with rounded off highs, or a tube amp. As for eqing. Analog eq's give the sa5k a more smooth feel and not as exaggerated highs. A digi eq gives you much greater frequency control but a more detailed sound...
