Phonak regrets and appreciates our understanding as it withdraws from IEM mfg and returns to core business, hearing aids. Posted at www.audeoworld.com webshop:         In these instances, does the mfg typical (on occassion) sell off inventory or discount it?    Separate question...

What a confounding market--even leaving aside the possibly sketchy retailers,  STAX-JP writes  The SR-003 is a 5-pin PRO bias type in-the-ear earspeaker, and can be used by connecting to a driver unit having 5-pin PRO bias output socket. Also, the inner type structure of the SR-003...

Joker, thanks for clarifying distinction between Phonak Perfect Bass (the $189 one and 012 @ $99). What strange pricing: did Audeo try a focus group? I'm with you: near double the cost because filter set differs. Makes no sense to me.   I can't figure out the e-mail alert internals: just got...

Joker, thanks that is the chart I had in mind. Years back I had printed content and kept 1st 2 pages--probably scores on average above 8. Dynamic movement in the rankings. 50an6xy06r6n sent me a pointer to a table of contents. It is helpful although other than Etymotic of old, no mfg keeps...

Thanks..tht's it in spirit. Different phones at top of array. I didn't realize it was a PNG image; small wonder a text search didn't find it.At least, I've decoded the caption IEMchartjoker.png (that is noting it is an IEM Chart prepared by Joker in format PNG.   I got an another reference...

I cannot get the search engine to return the numerical matrix, where Joker assigned a point value for various attributes and then calculated an average. As I remember first attributes got rankings 1 to 5, but overall ranking was as high as 9.+.   Tried "sticky" "matrix" "array" & c. I'm...

Google is increasingly useless, Search audiocats and it returns anything but your url. Search on audiocats.url and it returns youtube array. What is your url? One reviewer noted your mod of portable amp in former SR-001 better than one in SR-003 package. Big price bump from SR-001 to SR-003...

[full text in portable] Network support declared my ER-6 dead. Beyond visual inspection, are there diagnostic steps?

Dick Osher in CES Issue Absolute Sound wrote a very favorable comment about LA Audio Electronics M-18 (maybe M-1, 18 watts). He didn't reference url or distributor & google's returning odd data collection sites. I remember seeing advert for LA Audio Electronics, maybe in Brit High Fidelity...

Thanks to everyone for commenting. Good news for me. HipHopScribe asks what technical specs I am looking for. Cowon iAudio 7, says Linux Journal, Of those, iAudio 7's ability to record higher resolution FLAC & Ogg are important. Nice to have voice recorder and I'll make use of line-in & record...

In May Linux Journal review of iAudio 7The COWON iAudio 7, Philip Raymond notes that iAudio 7's default configuration is UMS (user mass storage) device. Writing the iAudio 7 is Linux friendly, Raymond notes that the iAudio 7 appears on the desktop as a volume/drive. Thus it is not necessary to...

So much product out there; I'm overwhelmed trying to compare feature sets just at Cowon's web site. All I need is the functionality to record NPR podcasts of today's news and features that I missed during broadcast. I see this like the first use of VCR: time shift. I won't store or catalogue...

I don't get how the range of iPod & its competitors work for both download and playback. For example, can I download a NPR segment as podcast onto USB drive; then port the content to the iPod competitor, & then play through audio out into stereo amplifier? What protocol for the audiio...

I'm using a Phillips PCDP & Audio Technica Art 7 (audiophile closed back) picked up in Taiwan & Ety 6. (Since back, I put together very budget loudspeaker system using Paradigm Atom & Si-5 T Amp.) I've been thinking about logical upgrade path & one thought was Ray Samuels Audio Hornet. Sam...

I bought an Audio Technica ATH-700 in Taiwan and have also ER-6. The ATH sounds dark and muted from Phillips PCDP & totally dead from earphone out on my Sangean radio---it's like a Tivoli. Where's the best place to start: with $300-500 headphone amp or with better sound source. Ergonomics...
