    Looking for adaptor cable to fit iPhone case

    Headphone carrying bag?

    I have used these:   http://goodcans.com/HeadphoneStore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=36   for years.  They are a good value.  When I travel, I either throw my headphones into a backpack, or clip the bag to a strap.

    Quote: Posting such a list would be useful, but maybe not for the reason you intend.    I don't have the technical chops to pick a dog in this fight so I have to determine who has greater credibility.  In addition to the fact that I have been reading about KG designs since starting in...

    Testing audiophile claims and myths

    Quote: Well said mav, esp. the part I bolded above.  That assertion is often taken as a big dis, when it is nothing of the sort, but merely a well-established observation about human nature that goes back to Descartes.

    Quote: Thanks Nick.  I have heard reference (from you IIRC) to the Oohashi study before.  As I suspected - nothing new, and nothing definitive.

    Quote: 1.  Please post a link to the Japanese study to which you refer.  The crucial question is whether the test subjects had knowledge of the source material which allegedly produced those physiological responses.   2.  IMO you are correct when you point to an unconscious (or...
