I forgot to mention that, as stated earlier, I unintentionally broke a forum rule by discussing DBT. I will refrain from carrying on with this discussion but would be happy to continue this in the "Science" sub-forum or by PM. Thanks. El Duderino

This is an interesting thread and I can appreciate the OP's efforts towards public education. JSTOR is a good resource but not the best. May I suggest using PubMed (PubMed Home) which will include articles cited in JSTOR as well as a range of other medical databases. If you try the search...

Hi Shigzeo, My apologies if you felt belittled but I was simply pointing out the misinformation in your posts. It is very true that you, of course, do not have to believe a word that I am saying. You wanted some scientific rebuffs to your statements. Below is an abstract taken from...

Yes, PriceJapan is safe. I have ordered through them and not had any problems. I did, however, use DHL and not EMS although my previous experiences with EMS have been positive (it just takes longer). El Duderino

This may sound like a ridiculous question but how do you actually get the supposedly detachable wires off the UE Triple.fi Pro--I've been dying to try out the flip-flop mod. I've been pulling on the cable plug where it inserts into the IEM but it almost feels as if something is going to...

Just pulled the trigger on those Triple-Fi's from Ecost. I've been waiting since last summer for a pair of IEMs to replace my Shure E4 and that would pair up nicely with the Kenwood HD30GB9. I did a head-to-head between the TF10 and Shure SE530 while waiting an airport recently for a flight...

I own the HD30GB9 and use it with a pair of Shure E4 IEMs. I have only recently noticed the high frequency noise which is superimposed on the background hiss. It's only audible with the volume set from 1 to 6. Beyond that, I believe it is masked by the music. As the OP mentioned, it is not a...
