NuForce Icon Mobile Impressions Thread
Well the price is right and for me the best features are: USB sound card with inline mic support and the roller volume wheel is easy to use.- LeftyGorilla

Droid X
I'm curious about this, thinking about using my new X for listening on the go. I've not been able to find specs on the power output of the droid x hp jack. Basically the amp will give you more power to drive the phones and amplify any weaknesses of the droid's DAC circuitry. A question for you...- LeftyGorilla

What are the best Grado's?
Quote: well, it was a zig-zag progression for me. I got the 80s used (and recabled) from the FS forum here. Instantly gave me the feeling that good headphones were worth the money. But there was a loose connection at the plug, so I sent them back to the seller/recabler. He was totally...- LeftyGorilla

What are the best Grado's?
I've had 80s, MS2is, and now have happily settled into 225s as the nice price sweet spot. The 225 do scale depending on source, but not as much as the 325s, which to me didn't sound very good unless amped. do a search on this topic and wow, you'll find pages and pages of...- LeftyGorilla

So something is wrong with the hp out on that player. But give these a try for the young ones: Amazon.com: Sony Mdr-222Kd/Pin Children's Headphones (Pink): Electronics I got them for my 4yr old and know a couple other families who like them. They have a little more impedance so the...- LeftyGorilla

plug and play is generally a straightforward thing. You can check so see if ALSA supports your soundcard, or even more comprehensive, technical info here. "Mainstream" dacs all work just fine.- LeftyGorilla

What's a good hard case for the Audio-Technica ATH-M50?
yeah, they fold down so tight that I don't see the point. Might try a metal lunchbox, though. e.g. Amazon.com: Pink Floyd Classic Rock Dark Side of the Moon Tin Tote LunchBox Lunch Box: Kitchen & Dining- LeftyGorilla

Help! Are these ATH-ESW9's fake!?
They look exactly like a legit pair I got through AudioCubes. But the pictures can be misleading and you have to consider the price perhaps more than the pictures. I don't know the conversion, but they're in great shape, so the price should be reasonably close to new, yeah? If it's a lowball...- LeftyGorilla
