Should I get the Klipsch image x10?
I wanted the klipsch image x10 as I am a bit brand loyal. I have not had a chance to hear them but their price dropped a ton since they came out. I was thinking about picking up a set. I have the image s4i and love them. I figure the x10s would be even better. Any input?- pHEnomIC

Got the hd650s, hd650 vs d5000 impression.
I had a hard time getting a straight answer as to how I would like the hd650s after having the d5000s. A lot of people made it sound like I wouldn't like it/be bored (no bass etc). This can't be farther from the truth. I absolutely loved the d5000s It could be just that they are the...- pHEnomIC

I am having a very hard time deciding between the hd600 and hd650. I want to get one and be done with it, don't want to get the 600 and regret not getting the 650. I see a lot of controversy, there being many people saying the hd600 is better than the 650. I listen to mostly rock...- pHEnomIC

Did I really see hd650s for 300$?
I fee like ive seen hd650s for 300$ a while ago at least at two places. I am thinking about getting some but I notice the going price from anywhere is 499. Quite a big jump unless I am wrong. Do these phones have prices that fluctuate a whole 200$ routinely? If so is it worth waiting or...- pHEnomIC

Magnavox 9302 wont start up.
I bought a 9302 that was supposedly working. I cant get it to fire up. I assume I need to jump something on the molex connector. I put the speakers on the outputs, and some rca inputs, along with attempting to jump 1 & 10 pins. btw, what amp fuse should I use on it when modding?- pHEnomIC
