Problem w/ Grado SR60 jack
Thank you for the info. Any Austin head-fiers out there? -
Problem w/ Grado SR60 jack
Howdy, My beloved Grado SR60 'phones seem to have taken a knock in a recent move. The jack no longer stays in the "right" position in my iPod. (Not providing stereo sound) I checked to ensure that it wasn't the iPod by trying it out with the normal apple 'phones, my Shure in-ears and my...- Ruel

Bump. How would this combination do? iPod Classic 160GB, iBasso D10 Cobra, iBasso LOD.- Ruel

Improving What I Have
Seems I'll be able to shake down the money tree enough to pull together funds for a D10. I'm looking forward to re-examining my favorites and (hopefully) discovering new textures and nuances! Especially with my new ATH-M50's. It may help to note. Most of the music I listen to is of the...- Ruel

Improving What I Have
I'm not sure wallet abuse is legal where I live. Goodness iBasso knows how to sell their products though. That description! My concern with the D10 is this: am I paying extra for features I won't be using in the foreseeable future? Like optical and coaxial? Is the extra investment in an...- Ruel

Improving What I Have
(Updated from a previous thread) I am looking for a solid DAC/Amp to use with a MacBook (3,1) and iPod touch. I am currently listening through Grado SR60's at home, when the open design is not an issue. ATH-M50's when out and about/traveling. Right now I am looking at the iBasso D2 Boa...- Ruel

Improving upon what I have
The DAC/Amps I found from RSA or iBasso with the connectivity I'm looking for, and within my price range are limited to the iBasso D2 Boa, and (oddly) the iBasso D2 Boa. I don't know how these two products differ, but they do exist on separate pages. In fact iBasso is offering a little deal...- Ruel

IceClass, the auction for that cable has long ended. Can you give any more information on it? If it's reasonably priced I may go that way.- Ruel

Sealed, ~$150
Looking for a good choice for a sealed headphone. I have been listening to a pair of Grado SR60 headphones. I would like some sealed 'phones as I find myself in public/traveling frequently and the leakage is an issue. I primarily listen to classical music - vocal. I listen through an iPod...- Ruel

College Acceptance-Fi
I won't be getting any letters until around March. I am planning on a Fine Arts major and my top choices don't send letters until everyone has auditioned. Though by applying Early Action i think I have given myself an edge. Also i have some academic guns on my side of this one.- Ruel

Backpack-Fi
I purchased a Jansport almost two years ago now, and haven't had an issue with it. I have had two friends buy the bag after using mine for a while. I use it to carry my 13" MacBook, and it does a very good job of protecting from jolts and drops. With the laptop in the bag, and expanded to its...- Ruel
