    Any pro solderers, help soldering new mini jacks?

    I have 2 Sennheisers hd238s with busted mini jack connectors. Ive tried soldering new jacks but they always end up losing connection. Any pro solderers out there who could offer their skills? I would foot all the shipping costs and materials and some sort of payment for your pro services.

    PS3 to headphone amp to speakers

    Thanks fraggler and gochuckster, for your 2cents! Nice to find people who have been down my road. Yeah, I just discovered the Nuforce Icon last night, and it looks like a great solution for a good set of bookshelf passive speakers. My main focus is on Speaker-use, I guess you could say. I...

    connecting headphones to ps3?

    NXG (NX-572) Double RCA Audio Coupler - RadioShack.com You need something like above, called a Double RCA Coupler. You plug the RCA from the PS3 into one end. In the other end of the Coupler, you plug a standard RCA cable, and the other end of this RCA Cable goes into your headphone amp.

    PS3 to headphone amp to speakers

    I am not sure if this is the right category for this thread, but I thought this would be a place to start. Reading the title, some of you may be thinking, why doesn't this guy get a Home Theater Receiver? Well, the reason is space. I have a very small "living room" in my apartment, and I am...

    connecting headphones to ps3?

    I have a similar setup. A PS3 connected via hdmi to my 24" Dell S2409W, and then a mini to mini cable from my Dell LCD to a FIO E5 headphone amp. From the FIO e5, I either plug in headphones or my Logitech mm50 (ipod speaker) through the aux-in. The AV Multi-Link cable does come with all...

    best 128mb flash player?

    How about either the Rio S10 or S30s? Slap a 256mb sd card in there, and you have a 320mb player for $130.

    iPod Mini Questions

    Well after having sung its praises, I did some closer listening this weekend, and have to agree with ezra. To my ears, the Mini does not sound as "full" as the 3g ipod (both headphone jack & line-out). The sound is "thinner" with some brightness to compensate. That said, the sound is still very...

    iPod Mini Questions

    I got 6 hours on my first charge. The battery meter was down to a sliver, but not completely discharged (which is something you don't want to do ). Since then, I believe I get more than 6 hrs. In general, people have reported the Mini to have better battery life than the ipod 3g. I never need...

    My ipod mini review

    One thing I've found about the mini is that, for me, it hits a certain 'sweet spot' in terms of size (no pun intended). 4gb is alot easier to manage than 20gb (duh, i know). With 4gb, you can fit anywhere between 40-60 CDs, depending on your encoding. This is enough to store, say, the last 10...

    iPod Mini Questions

    I am also pleased as punch with my ipod mini. People who gripe too much about poor GB/$ value miss the point. This player is just alittle bit bigger than most flash-based players! The design/build is an improvement in every way over the 3G ipod. First of all the casing is anondized and very...

    Drum 'n' Bass

    mike, those compilation CD's really run the whole gamut of "Electronica" music: breakbeat, drum'n'bass, progressive house, etc. There are alot of these little niche genres. Dieselboy is pretty aggro stuff......if you like the J Magik or Ed Rush tracks on those compilation discs, I reccomend...

    Sound editing software - specific question

    I use Sonic Foundry's Sound Forge, though it is not cheap; they do offer a budget version though. I don't work much with files that long. With Sound Forge, it does take some time to load a really long file, and cutting from the beginning of a long file takes some time (if enable undo)...what the...

    IPOD or the Zen: Serious repsonses only

    You should check out the messageboards at Apple at discussions.info.apple.com I have been surfing the Ipod Usage boards some, and it appears that there is battery-drain problem with the latest firmware. There also are rumors that Apple may start a battery replacement plan, but no official word...

    Another iPod/NJB3/Zen thread

    I don't think the Zen comes with a remote, but there supposedly is one TBA. I know I might get flamed for this, but Hard drive based MP3 players are not recommended to be used while jogging, mountain biking, etc. I think by doing so, you shorten the life-span of your device. Another thing to...
