BTW Extropian, love the sig
Just reading your info. So you prefer the Zune SQ over ipod touch? I know everything is subjective, but I want to ask your opinion about a set-up:how do you think a guy that likes hard rock/pop/a bit of blues and old Motown would do with a Zune 120 and set of Westone W3/UMX3?
I am not an audiophile and do not like classical music.

Just wondering...

Thanks!

We have to be fond of our Zunes, we're up against the all powerful Ipod army! You have to be really committed to stand up in the face of 80% market share. However don't mistake enthusiasm for knowledge, Try before you buy if you can.

Sorry, but you asked me another direct question that I wasn't able to get back to you on in a timely manner. I've been on vacation and deprived of the internet. So...Unfortunately I can't really help you out much on your choices. I like the sound of the Zune over the Ipod because IMO it just sounds fuller, like there is more heft there. To me, the Ipod sounds thinner, even nasal at times. So I would prefer the Zune no matter the Genre.

As for the IEM's I really can't help you much with the ones you've selected as I haven't heard either, and I don't comment on what I haven't heard. I'm very new at this as well. The only thing I can tell you is that when I was searching for good IEM's I almost bought the UM3X. From what I read I thought they were the ones for me. However, somewhere along the line I decided to go with full size instead. I have since bought a pair of Yuin PK1's. They are buds not IEM's, but their sound equals or surpasses my full size cans. Very surprising & impressive! They sound a bit thin though if not properly amped, but by no means bad. You can tell the difference though.

Hope this helps a bit! Even if late.

I replied to this by PM with a VERY long reply.
