The Schiitstorm: Next-Gen Magni 2 and Modi 2 Family!
I've budgeted out a Modi 2 Uber next month for my home theater system. Can't wait to buy it next month! Pending positive reviews, of course. Even though I intend to use it with speakers, I'll be sure to give it a listen on my headphone setup. This would be Stello DA100 / Modi 2U -> Sheer...- MCC

Audio-Technica ATH-AD2000 Discussion (and Appreciation) Thread!
Audio-Technica US sold me two ATH-AD2000 earpads at $18.30 each + ~$10 shipping. That shipping also included another part (a metal headband piece that snapped inside the cover, I think I'm the 5th or 6th owner or thereabouts). I'm probably too late for remilio but I thought I'd post this for...- MCC

ATH-AD2000... repair :(
I checked with Audio-Technica and that one piece is ~$70. Do I have a decent chance at J-B welding it or should I shell out for the proper part? I have a feeling that the first option would prevent me from ever taking the second.- MCC

ATH-AD2000... repair :(
After about 5 owners and many years of service, one of the headbands has snapped off of my ATH-AD2000s and left a nice scratch. Is there any hope of getting a replacement here in the US or should I try my luck with J-B Weld? The plastic towards the inside has been partially removed in this...- MCC

Audio-Technica ATH-AD2000 Discussion (and Appreciation) Thread!
I've had my AD-2000s for nearly 3 years now and they continue to amaze me. I just experienced the intro to "Tears for Fears - The Working Hour" on these again and WOW. Simply sublime. I've tried many pairs on at PeachBudz in West Des Moines and the only pair that sounded equivalently good to...- MCC

PC Enthusiast-Fi (PC Gaming/Hardware/Software/Overclocking)
I'm happy with my Rosewill RK-9000BR. The USB connector came loose but it was trivial to resolder it. It's otherwise a solid keyboard and a good option if you can grab one cheaply. Newegg had them for $56 just last week. It's very probably made in the same factory as the Filco Majestouch-2...- MCC

Foobar wasapi 3.0(push) changes the headphones sound
In my quick testing, "Libera" on Libera by Libera (:p) sounds much clearer to me on push. The event option blurs the vocals and makes them lose their magic. I'm genuinely surprised how significant the difference is. Paradoxically, "Yakusoku" on "CLANNAD The Movie Image Song - Yakusoku" has...- MCC

One More Reason to Dislike PayPal
Quote: I know they don't care, but that's hardly the point. I deleted the account because I cannot do business with PayPal in good conscience. Since they're a subsidiary of Ebay I'm debating deleting that account as well and never buying anything from there again.- MCC

One More Reason to Dislike PayPal
I've deleted my PayPal account. I've had enough of their business practices. PayPal is interested in taking your money and nothing else. The customer doesn't matter AT ALL to them.- MCC

I have $100 to spend at Amazon: What would you do?
Quote: Those have blue keyswitches though which isn't what I want. That and I don't like the font, plus the general consensus online (geekhack) is that the Filcos are much higher quality. Finally, I have a Logitech G15 sitting in the basement that I used before I got my $7 Dell...- MCC

I have $100 to spend at Amazon: What would you do?
I'm going to spend my Amazon gift cards on a Rosewill RK-9000BR mechanical keyboard. It's $40 less than the Filco Majestouch despite being a rebranded version of the same.- MCC

Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Thread
For me, the cable flip mod resulted in a loss of clarity in female vocals. The comply flip mod, however, resulted in a substantial SQ increase over the standard orientation for me. It seems that the foam normally blocks the sound in my ears and having the stiff tube there prevents this. These...- MCC

Where can I buy a built Dynalo for $300?
