    Nomad 3 Review- IGN

    Gotta agree with DeanA, I am a big NJB fan and I paid far more than he did .... The battery life is a pain but Creative did supply two sets of batteries which gets you through a transatlantic or transcontinental flight. The sound is much improved with an amp although I found adding extra o/p...

    Belle and Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister

    All the B&S albums are 'worth a detour' as they say. Sure, they are self-indulgent but every album has a couple of magic tracks. Arab Strap just happens to have more. The Lazy Jane collection is typical. The tracks range from the truly sublime to the utterly awful. Mostly crk

    Yes. But at twice the price they are a bargain.... crk

    Exactly how many people here own pair of Koss-porta, sporta, ksc35/50?

    Just got some 35's to add to the 50 and sporta collection. I used to love the sporta's but now they just sound boomy. Talking of 'tweaks', I still can't fathom why a power cord could make a difference. But, I'm convinced that pressure on the ears is really critical which is why the 35's sound...

    Flying 15k miles in a week... my experiences with heavy-duty flying and 'phones

    Hi meatman Nice write-up. I have the same problem with the Ety's and those kind people who think they have something you want while you are on the plane. I was struck by a couple of things... 1) Why LGW-CDG-LHR? was this just to get round the M25 to Heathrow? 2) What is the route of the RTW...

    Clipping on the output from a CD

    Joobu Thanks for your help. This is where I've got to. The amp is currently working fine but it required a 100pf across the feedback resistor on the gain (x2 on my amp) stage to get this stability. The best I could achieve without the caps would be the following. The amp would oscillate...

    Clipping on the output from a CD

    Joobu 1. Loads 2. The scope's fine (checked and calibrated) The waveform from an audio disk is typically a jumble of things that look vaguely sinusoidal, i.e. curved. You don't often see straight lines unless something is clipping or slew rate limited. Indeed this is the case with almost...

    Clipping on the output from a CD

    Hi expertz I've just bought an oscilloscope. While trying to track down why my CH47 was (and still is) oscillating rather than amplifying. I noticed the waveform when the amp was working looked really bad. It showed clipping and those straight triangular waveforms suggesting something was slew...

    back to the PJB100.....(or Nomad) ??

    Hi I have a NJB and use it all the time with a variety of headphones including my ETY 4P's. I also use the line out and an amp and haven't noted the problems noted by mbriant. There is a variety of 3rd party user software out there (www.nomadness.net). BTW the site also provides a guide as to...

    Are you a freak about your CDs? ;)

    I don't worry about the inserts but I do keep a catalog. It ain't that difficult, I just use one of those CD player programs which accesses cddb or freedb and stores the info in a database (EAC does this). A lot easier than keeping track of my 45's which has to be done with my 'two chickens...

    MP3 player (HD-type) comparison

    Hi Mac I have a Nomad Jukebox 6 which I think is just great. Here are a couple of additions to your spreadsheet. It does have a hard drive. In fact it is relatively easy to upgrade with larger capacity 2.5", 9.5mm drives Processor: Cirrus Logic EP7212 Speed: the chip can run at 18, 36, 49...
