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.

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...

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.

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

Oh they released volume 3, didn't even know, gonna have to check that out I didn't really like volume 2, (except for the dilinja, peshay, lemon d, & hidden agenda tracks) curious to see what they got this time around.

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...

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...

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...

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...

Here it is Quote from Tom's Hardware: "The lithium polymer battery that powers the iPod is replaceable. Although that process isn't simple, Apple's choice of using connectors to detach it from the unit shows that it is possible. The iPod uses the Sony UP325385 A4H lithium polymer battery...

oh, for real? If you could dig that thread up, that would be appreciated Actually, for Apple to officially post on their website, disassembling an Ipod...that doesn't sound like Apple. And doing so would probably void your warranty. I saw some pictures on Tom's hardware website, and there...

I agree whole-heartedly. If you are looking for most bang-for-your-buck then the Nomad Zen is definately the way to go. But then the swanky Ipod has never been about "bang for your buck" Both come with crap software, and so you will prolly turn to 3rd-party software for both. I do think...

So which one did you get? I too have been sitting on the fence waaaay too long, about purchasing an HD Mp3 player. For someone who has downloaded some 30+ gb of mp3s over the past 3 years, and also owns over 500 cds, I am just way too picky about dropping some serious doughage for an HD Mp3...

I have the Pioneer DV440 dvd player, got it at Crutchfield for $179 a few months ago. It plays dvds, cds, mp3 cds, vcds & scvds. It also has Brownburr dacs, audio cds sound good, it would be hard to buy a better cd player at this price.

Ok, slap me for posting this topic, but hey you were a newbie once too, right? My hookup is my pioneer dv440 (it's a dvd player that has brownburr dacs) with a ratshack rca-to-mini -> Porta Corda -> Grado sr80 or Beyer dt250-80. I use this setup to listen to audio cds, mp3 cds & dvd...

Anybody have the Rio Volt sp90? It's headphone jack is really exceptional, powers my Grado sr80's very well. I have the Panasonic sl-ct570 and I don't understand all the accolades people have been showering on it. It sounds pretty average to me, both the headphone and lineout jacks. Personally...

I have a Rio Volt sp90 and I have found its headphone jack to be exceptional (can't say so much for its line-out jack tho). It really kicks my panasonic sl-ct570's butt. It can power my Grado sr80s easily. And to top it off, they can be bought really cheaply now, $80 or so. Worth a shot, if you...

Duncan - and for me, the HD580s pinched my jawline. It was like the balance of the tightness of the Cups on my head was more weighted towards the bottom. Maybe, I just got a bad pair, or should have tried stretching them out more....dunno

Personally, I've got a melon shaped head Well, it sounds like if I didn't like the fit of the HD580s, then I probably won't like the HD600s. My quandary is that I'd like to fine a circumaural open headphone that has the comfort of my Beyer DT250-80s and the sound of my Grado sr80s. Also, a...
