Hey Cee Tee! I've been doing well - working, the usual boring stuff. My hobbyist attention gradually shifted over to building and modding computers, but recently I've been considering a Violectric amp/dac combo. I'm also going to be bringing a few friends along to this meetup party and...

  I myself prefer these plastic openers from iFixit for a few dollars. Doesn't scratch the iPod.   http://www.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/Plastic-Opening-Tools/IF145-000

I will be attending. I can bring a Grado RS1 and a SRH940, since those two headphones seem to not be on the list.

Wouldn't it be easier to just buy a used iPod Video off eBay? It'll cost around $50-60.

Definitely interested! Does anyone happen to have a Violectric V200 / V800?

Is BeyondWind's page down? I just finished restoring my iPod 5.5G with a 480GB Crucial SSD and a new battery from iFixit; loaded up default Rockbox and it gives me ATA error -11.   Hopefully BW's patch can fix ATA error -11.

Does anyone happen to have the Sennheiser HDVD800? I'm curious about that thing.

Seeing that this thread has tripped my notifications after lying dormant for a long time, I'll chime in:   After two years my UE18 usage is ever infrequent. There's very few situations where they can be used, at home / office / driving / out with friends, and it can be a hassle with ear...

I've had my UE18s serviced once (bass just went poof) and it was pretty quick service. I think most of the flak comes from either universals or out-of-warranty service, the former which I had experience with and was quite terrible.

Another fantastic meet, C! Everything went so smooth and it was all-around fun going around listening to all the fancy rigs. I especially enjoyed the after meet dinner where there were a lot of lively thoughtful discussions. Also huge thanks to Jude for his support!

I can't say anything about the sound, but for the custom art I sent in a mock-up, and the individual art itself in a high-res .tif file.   From Todd Hernandez (when asked about templates for the art):

Is anyone else sometimes picking up radio frequencies on their IEMs? When I'm at the library (it's near a broadcasting station) then I hear half-radio, half-my own music. :S

Quote:   Any particular reason why you're using .WAV, such as editing? I would really re-encode those into FLAC or ALAC, something less clunky, because WAV files are large. And you can tag FLAC/ALAC files to your heart's content.

Excellent insight nellie! All this talk of UERMs really does pique my interest in another pair...
