If you still love Etymotic ER4, this is the thread for you...
Quote: Etymotic is just a bit odd with the shipping. If your order is less than $50 they'll ship it by USPS for $2 instead and refund the difference.- vegaman

Data Recovery Service for Failed HDD: I Need One! Give Me Some Advice?
Prickley Peete's link looks like a good bet, and unless the data is incredibly important, you're going to be better off trying to recover it yourself because of the cost. geetarman49: while those suggestions may help in some cases, the bios can't even detect the drive so they won't work in...- vegaman

What's good enough?
I'm happy with my current gear, it's certainly good enough for me. The main reason I still buy new gear every so often is curiosity.- vegaman

AKG K340 AMPLIFIER
The Darkvoice amps seem to have the best reputation for K340s I've seen - I still want to get one when I have the money to spare, I think my PPX3 just doesn't have enough power to drive them.- vegaman

Volume Settings...
100% should be 0db, which is what you want. There might be some drivers that go above 0db at 100% though? I'm not sure.- vegaman

Cheapo to plug into a tv
You can use the RCA outputs of the xbox to plug into an amp. It won't sound amazing of course, but it will work.- vegaman

Do you use amp in public?
I always use an amp in public too. I've travelled to China, the UK, Spain, Dubai with my iMod and Headsix velcroed together. I have a beard too (I figure they probably don't like beards) and never had any problems. I was a little dubious when I arrived in Dubai and realised my t-shirt had a...- vegaman

So, ANY laptops with a relatively good sound chip and speakers?
Not that I know of, and the only good (and almost only if you need expresscard) sound cards I know of for them are the Echo cards. I decided to get a USB DAC instead, a bit of a hassle for some I guess, but there's plenty of storage in my laptop bag.- vegaman

What Came In The Mail Today?
Got it cheap as I wanted something half decent for my laptop, much better than I expected though. And it doesn't seem to be very quiet like reviews say, full volume is too loud, tried Darth Beyers and Sennheiser PX200s so far.- vegaman

Post the last thing you bought. Oh fun!
StyleAudio CARAT HD1V - I'm not sure how good this will be, but I got it for a good price And a Three Stones MiniBox-E+ Haven't received them yet, but I should have a reasonable setup for my laptop now, and the amp can replace the HeadSix I use with my iMod.- vegaman

Haha Cnet MP3 Insider 126
I've had friends try to get me to watch "cams" but I can't stand the horrible artifacts so I can't enjoy the movie. But if I watch a proper DVD or HD version of that movie there's less distractions to me and I can enjoy it more. And the same goes for music, but obviously the difference is often...- vegaman
