hmmm....

They refer to it as " pink slime", it used to be used ONLY in pet food, but since 2001 a savings of 3 cents a pound has persuaded McDonald's that Americans would love to feed their family's dogfood as a treat. Here is the article: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/31/us...nted=1&_r=1&hp...

The UM3X is more comfortable than my sensa customs. Seems to have too many drivers for its soundtube however, soundstage and coherence suffer from the trafficjam.

a few unchanging impressions~ The cable is scary thin, i'm afraid to look at it hard... Coming from the tf10, the unit disappears into my ear, to the point that they require attention to remove neatly. I wonder if the greater extension of the um56 tips is a positive thing.

i don't care what anybody else perceives, but there is definitely a break-in period on IEM's...

I don't think the savings warrant sending brand-new IEM's south of the border for reassembling. On the other hand, i have a practically brand-new pair of broken TF's that i might risk sending out to be transmorgrified into a working custom headset. In the meantime i've ordered a pair of the...

Wow, this is really beautiful, enjoy your investment all! My original SR-71 (#11) is still pristine and entertaining after all these years working 6 days a week, outdoors, all four seasons.

What bothers me the most about this, is it's basis in bad-faith marketing. We've recently seen the major manufacturer's releasing unreliable information about coming products that is based soley on their desire to "freeze" potential owners purchases. Give me a couple months notice and i...

I owned one of the very last R10's built, and still have the 3k's. The R10 was one of the bassy one's, and to my mind that just made the bass adequate. Not a rock headphone. The L3000's have a heavy low-end that can be too much for some types of music, but for rock it is without compare. The...

I've had my Comply tips for over a week now, and I am quite impressed. They are extremely comfortable, stay in well, and provide the best sound isolation short of custom molds. Poor isolation is the "dirty little secret" about the triple-fi's, the large soundtube bore just doesn't leave...

In the past i've alway's found that it was best to place small orders for foamies, as they even dry out in the baggie. You don't want to be stuck with a bag of stiff, dry tips...

The sound of my 160 classic is much better suited to the Triple-fi's than my 3g ipod. The bass was actually too much before, there is a much better balance now. Of course, I couldn't make it thru a workday non-stop with the 3g without running out of battery. Now I can get away with a once a...

LOT'S of misinformation going on here, even by people quoting AVS... if it really matters to you - do your own research!

Years ago I drove from SanDiego to Miami straight through (i tried to sleep in houston, to no avail!) When I got to Louisana my eyes were shot, and the slightest air movement was incredibly painful. Lo and behold, I had a pair of ski goggles in the trunk, and instant presto- no air movement at...
