    Does the latest iPod Classic sound similar to Clip+?

    I have kinda given my mother my Clip+ as I end up preferring my Galaxy Nexus with Poweramp EQ sound to the flat sound of Clip+. I am concerned that I will feel the same about iPod Classic. I have been strictly headphone out only as I prefer not to mess with LOD and amp as that would be another...

    Are SE535 fatiguing to hear over long session?

    My first IEM was se215. I sold it because I find it so fatiguing I can only listen to it on bus. I have chance to audition it conveniently but I just can't listen to it long enough to tell whether it is as fatiguing as 215. I hope those who listen to both 215 and 535 can tell me what you think...

    Is changing from iPhone 4 to latest iPod Classic a upgrade?

    As titled, I do think that I have enough space to live with in iPhone. I have googled there was a site in China called Soomal which claims that the difference between IPC and IP4 becomes obvious in 'small dynamic music' for mid ranges and treble.   For bass, IPC for quality but IP4 for...

    More expensive top tiers vs 'bargain' top tiers

    I spent hours reading posts. I would categorize some popular choices like this $200ish top tiers: TDK BA200s, DBA02, B2, Re262, Re272, Triple Fi, ER4P/S $400ish top tiers: SE535, w4, um3x, XBA4, IE80s I can observe that generally $400 top tiers have awful lots of armatures, nice...

    Got my TDK BA-200 at USD $150 in Hong Kong HMV

    Two months ago I got Shure SE215 hoping that I will not buy any more phones for a good long time in similar fashion to my relationship with Grados (stopped with SR80s never upgrade). I think I am that sort of people that will be just fine with entry level products. But then I read reviews at...

    Does iPhone deserve headphones higher than 100USD?

    I have been listening to iphone 4 with SR80s and SE215s. The results are satisfactory enough. As you know, all those are entry level stuff. I am just curious if the cost will justify the improvement did I move to say Grado SR225 or SE535. To make me all the more skeptic, my music collection is...

    Concern about lifespan of my Sony D-777 discman and iPod Touch vs 90s discman generally

    I somehow came across a completely new D-777 back in 2003 and have been using mine not too often (I think average over the years 2 hours per week). I really enjoy its headphone out directly with a pair of Grado SR80s. However, 7 years have passed since then. It still reads my own collection of...

    My Initial Impression of KSC35s

    Very luckily I bumped into a guy wearing KSC35s on a bus two days ago, which was a once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity especially considering the fact that I am living in HK. He was kind enough to let me have a brief audition of them. Out of his Creative Nomad II MP3 player, I was impressed by the...

    Am I the only one who doesn't really like the the Strokes

    Two years ago I borrowed Is This It and felt bored of it. I tried it again yesterday and I think my opinion hasn't changed. To me, sometimes the lead singer seems to be very sleepy when he sings in the album and it also makes me wanna sleep zZZZZZ... I can't help feeling bored by the musical...

    Sony MZ-E10 charging: a question

    Could I let the E10 charging on its stand overnight? Will it overcharge the unit and shorten the battery life?

    Manics' 10th anniversary edition of Holy Bible

    Just got it yesterday, I would readily say it really lives up to to many positive reviews of it. A truely bleak but addictive album. I am just curious, which one do you guys prefer? The US mix or the original mix remastered? To me, sometimes the US mix is more exciting as it is louder than...

    Damaged plug of headphones... What to do?

    My friend has got a pair of Philips HP800. His phones' plug seems to be damaged- sometimes can hear sound coming from his phones if he tweaks the plug, sometimes can't. He asks me whether he should try replacing the original plug by soldering the plug from some other headphones and his HP800s...

    MZ-E10 or MZ-E900?

    It turns out that my aunt, who will pay for my MD player as christmas present, has a MD player that she got from a lucky draw few years ago and she told me she hardly used it. If it is a E900(although not really likely), I dunno if I should ask her to get me the e10 as planned or simply ask her...

    Audio-technica CM5 a good match with MZ-E10?

    I am curious whether CM5 will be a good match with E10. The 888s hurt my ears after long use and they are rather fragile (dead RHS after a year of use) so this time I want to get CM5 to replace my dead 888s. I would like to know if anybody has ever used CM5 with E10 and if the result is any...

    Putting NH-14WM instead of NH9WM in D777 to charge...

    Will it do harm to my D777? And can the D777 fully charge the 14WM which has bigger capacity than the 9WM?

    Need help... I am getting a new MD portable

    My beloved MZ-R900 finally R.I.P... therefore I am looking for a new portable. It's not a must for a recorder since I can always ask a classmate of mine to do the recording for me. And no Hi-MD, it's far out of my budget. I have some questions. 1) Is the newest line of Sony MD portable any...

    dCS Verdi+Elgar

    I am wondering if anyone has ever auditioned this combo and A/Bed this combo with popular SACDPs like SCD-1, Tri-Vista and so forth. Just feel curious of dCS stuff because of the steep price.

    "kick-ass" sound card for Counter-Strike with HD600s

    My friend will be in the market for a sound card for playing Counter-Strike almost exclusively in Jan next year. He bought HD600s a while ago. However, pairing with the build-in sound card they just sound hardly satisfactory. His budget is "as much as the card cost". I am thinking about M-Audio...

    This is really what soundstage is...

    I have just heard about a recording technology which is merely used for reproducing an incredible soundstage with headphones called "Dummyhead" from a Chinese forum. I have tried a sample MP3 and I have never heard so damn real soundstage before. Here is a sample MP3...

    Better deals than 963SA?

    Are there any pure SACD players within the price range of 963SA sound equal or superior to it? I don't need DVD playback, all I need is kick-ass redbook/SACD performace.

    $1000 home setup: please advice

    I feel dissapointed with HP-1s

    I have got a chance to listen to Gino's setup(963SA, all expensive IC/PC, Twinhead) with R10s and HP-1s. R10s sound fantastic, especially for female vocal, it's something to die for. In contrast, HP-1s sound dull and boring. It lacks the sparkling highs and the impeccable soundstage of R10s...
