How is the Yuin PK1 at very low volumes?
Because of my tinnitus I prefer to listen only to earbuds or clipons, and only at very low volumes. Right now my sources are an iPhone 3GS and a Sansa Fuze. My earbuds are Sennheiser MX760 which I love with the Fuze and like with the iPhone. But even on the quietest setting they are a bit too...- JohnnyLightOn

Questions about putting FLAC files on my new Fuze
Just got my Fuze today! I want to load it up with only FLAC files. I assume I can just drag-and-drop them into the player in Windows Explorer. Even though every file is properly tagged, I'd like to put them into folders for my own convenience. This way I can easily take albums on and off the...- JohnnyLightOn

Is the WooAudio 3+ with HD650 too laid-back for rock/electronic?
I'm considering buying the Woo 3+ and HD650's for use in a nightstand system. The music I like varies, but there's a lot of progressive rock (ex: Pink Floyd) and electronic/variants (ex: Shpongle, Portishead, Air). I've heard about the great symmetry between the 3+ and the 650's, but also it...- JohnnyLightOn

How is the iPod 3G line out sound quality?
I'm thinking about building a nightstand system for listening in bed. Gear I'm considering at present are the Head Direct EF1 hybrid amp and the Yuin OK1 earbuds. I listen mostly to classic rock, progressive rock, electronic, and psytrance. For a source, I have a 3G iPod. But I've never...- JohnnyLightOn

Need help with Audioengine A5 speakers
I helped my friend get better sound on his laptop system by talking him into buying the A5's. I hadn't heard them; this was based on reviews and forum posts. He had been listening on cheap Sony computer speakers, and also on a mid-fi mini-system. I promised him that the sound from the A5's would...- JohnnyLightOn

Why can't they make the music sound like it's blasting from the sky?
This is something I've been thinking about for a while. Let's say you were in the mountains, walking through a meadow. A perfect day, blue sky. Suddenly, you hear music, in perfect fidelity at high volume. It comes from the sky and the surrounding mountains. Like from impossibly huge speakers...- JohnnyLightOn

How loud are the HD580s/HD600s to others in the room?
Hi All, I'm looking for cans to listen to in bed while my wife sleeps. I'd like something detailed and laid-back that I can listen to at low volumes. Assuming a relatively low volume, how much will she be able to hear with either of these models if she's lying right next to me? Is one...- JohnnyLightOn

My old Sony "Car Discman" PCDP any good??
Hi All, I'm in the process of putting together a home/semi-portable headphone rig. I listen to rock, jazz, and classical. I plan to get the Ety 4P (or maybe 4S) as my cans. Right now I think I would like the Corda home amp, although I wish I had the $750 for one of the liquid-yet-detailed...- JohnnyLightOn
