Got it, thanks - exactly as described, looks & works great, fast shipping, good communication.

So what happens when you need replacement earpads or head band?  Do you have to buy the regular HD598 colored pieces? :)  I don't see the special edition parts listed on Sennheisers website.

  Quote:       Yes, and you are going to have to go back and rerip all your CDs in Balanced FLAC (BFLAC) format!  If you bought any music from iTunes you will have to go back and buy it again in the new format, iTunes+-   Just kidding, there is no such thing as balanced...

Please add me to the Pre-order list. 1 HeadAmp Pico Slim w/ carrying case (USA plug) Thanks Rob

Perhaps you guys arne't the target market for the iPod Touch. It sounds like you guys may want an iPod Classic, or even Nano. Why would you complain about a product thats not aimed at you? Personally, I'm looking forward to getting my iPod Touch because I think thin is great. Having a wifi...

I got a nice Inova X5 LED flashlight at Sharper Image! Everything else there was cheap plastic chinese stuff tho........ the Inova rocks (the newer ones are way better). Rob

I got it (high pitched metallic squeal/ring), it sucks... it seems to vary in intensity based on a variety of things (stress, caffeine, if I've stressed my ears recently) I've noticed. There is a very good Tinnitus FAQ online. I tried one of the FAQs recommendations - vinpocetine - and it works...

I'd be curious to see how ya do in a blind a-b test! (or anyone for that matter). Coming from a computer background were cheap ass 100 mbps ethernet cards usually show 0 ethernet level errors over relatively long links on cheap cable, I'm a little skeptical how a 1.5 mbps digital connection can...

In iTunes (there is no special version, they all support the AX), when it detects an AX on your network, it will appear in a drop-down list next to the EQ button on the lower right hand side. What is your end purpose for the AX? Are you going to use it just as a wireless node? As a Base...

I'm guessing you have yet to configure it ? You can try resetting it; I think to do a "reset-to-factory-defaults" you can hold down the reset pin while plugging it in or something; then you can run the wizard to get it going, or the admin tool if you are tech savvy. They work great tho, I'm...

I have some MDR 71 and ER4Ps; they are totally incomparable..the sonys sound muddy and boomy and lacking high end, the ER4Ps I think are a great match for the Ipod, the Ipod (4g & mini) can drive them pretty well w/o an amp...I haven't heard ER6s but I would definately consider springing for...

Doesn't look like you can, unless you run them as separate users or something... Didn't this original user have multiple computers? Rob

I'm running two A-X's, "bed room" and "living room". For the router I'm using a Linksys WRT54G (because it runs Linux and is easy to add more Linux s/w to it; and because it was $79 ($50 if you shop around) vs $200 for the Airport Extreme Base). I don't have WDS running yet (I don't think it's...

I'd be very curious to hear how these three DACs in the same price range stack up against eachother...... Rob

I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT AN AUDIO COMPANY WOULD MISREPRESENT OR OVERSTATE THE VALUE THEIR PRODUCTS. NO. Of all the hobbies and interests I have had, I have never experienced the levels of snake oil, bull**** marketing, outrageous claims not supported by any technical evidence, and downright...

Digital is just analog at a lower resolution. We feel and hear in digital - neurons firing ; it's binary. There was an interested thread a while back where someone mentioned that the method of transporting audio within the brain; or from the nerves in the ear to another processing point in the...

You're right, thanks! Sounds perfect.. Rob

Doesn't the transit resample @ 48 kHz ? Rob

OK the first guy says "a modded transit is better than an indigo...we used an SR-71 as the amp". The second guy says that the transit + sr-71 combo is better than the indigo. Which is it? Of course a transit + sr-71 combo is going to spank an indigo amp when driving AKGs. Two issues here...
