Recabling Earbuds?
I just got the ath-cm7ti and think it is pretty good for portable kick around use. Shamefully, it uses a j-cord which I simply cannot get used to. I was about to consider the apuresound portable cable but realized it is discontinued and I have not experience in these sorts of things. Where can I...- fatmaneatschild

Mini Review - PK1 vs OK2 vs EW9 unamped
I have been testing for an ultraportable solution that I can use without an amp. I refuse to use portable amps as they defeat the purpose of true portablility.

RS1 with 1st Gen Shuffle
For those with experience in this combination, I was wondering: The RS1 is known for their harsh highs( using bowls) with certain recordings and the 1g shuffle I believe is known to have subdued highs.

RS-1 guitar brightnes
I just got the RS-1 and like it but can't seem to get the right sound with various pads. I've tried the flats, senns and reversed bowls which loses too much detail and clarity for me. The bowls were good but on some rock tracks the guitars are way to bright and harsh sounding. Ironic since I got...- fatmaneatschild

Using open headphones out in the open...
I was wondering if it is a bad idea to use open back headphones while walking outside. Obviously it is no good to use them if it is moist or dusty outside but what about plain sunny weather with minimal wind? Would it be bad for the drivers or am I just being overly concerned?- fatmaneatschild

_Two noob questions, please HELP!
1) Hi, I am using a Koss ksc75 out of my 1st gen shuffle and may be buying an amp with a gain of 5(no switch). Will this be a good match for the 60ohm Koss or do you think the gain is too high? Will it have too much noise? 2) If I keep my shuffle attached to an amp while charging the amp with...- fatmaneatschild

A900 with Echo Indigo???
I use the a900s on my laptop and they already sound superb without an external soundcard or amp. My only complaint is that bass is not enough and the mids/vocals are too extended/loud when listening to dvds. Does anyone have experience of the a900+indigo combo and what it does to the mids/bass?- fatmaneatschild
