    Good idea to purchase a brand new 15 year old Discman?

    I am thinking of purchasing a brand new 1998 Sony discman online for under $100 (I used to own the particular model back in the day), but I am wondering if I should be concerned about it operating correctly since it's been unused for 15 years. Would any of the circuitry degrade over the past 15...

    MP3, WAV, or AIFF for iPhone 4S headphone out playback?

    My entire music library is ripped in uncompressed WAV. I only use iTunes 10.5 for media playback, and I am aware WAV does not allow metadata for album tagging. I'd like to add album art to my files only for playback on my iPhone. Does anyone have any experience converting from WAV to AIFF or...

    Most Detailed Headphones for Portable Use (Smartphone or iPod)

    I mainly use my HD650's for at-home listening with an amp, but I am looking for a back-up pair of cans for work. I don't plan on moving them back and forth, I'll probably just keep them locked up so I don't mind full-size cans or anything that doesn't fold up.   My source will be an iPhone 4...

    Looking for a resonable pair of tower/floor speakers

    Quote: Thanks, this seems good for my budget. Should I stick with a Pioneer center, rear speakers, and subwoofer also so it voice-matches?

    Asus Essence ST - A few novice questions

    I feel like the 1/4" plug is heavy and getting stressed when it's plugged into the ST's jack. Has anyone's ST jack or plug gotten damaged by this?

    iTunes 10 - a change in sound?

    I guess I'll just keep 9.2, I re-installed 10.2.1.1, checked to make sure the EQ was off or flat, verified my output in QuickTime to make sure it was 24/96 WASPAI, and checked Windows 7 audio settings to make sure my sound card is outputting 24/96 and iTunes has exclusive rights and playback...

    iTunes 10 - a change in sound?

    Quote: Does uLilith support Last.fm scrobbling by any chance? I think Foobar2k does but I have all my files in WAV so I can't tag them in Foobar2k.

    iTunes 10 - a change in sound?

    I stumbled upon this thread, I had another one going:   http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/543510/itunes-10-2-qualiy-playback#post_7348465   Maybe it's just me but iTunes 10.2 seems a bit muddy on playback.
