I am a very happy HD600 owner except when I am working and people around me are talking.  The sound is fantastic, but so is the clarity of the conversations.  I also have a pair of ER4S, but am looking for something a little more comfortable for some non-critical background music while im...

I just got an iphone and while I am not happy about it, need to use itunes to share media files with my computer.  Over many years I have built a music library (80% flac, 20% mp3) as I have rarely used a mobile device and would just convert a few songs to mp3 whenever I thought I would use my...

I am looking to upgrade from my hand-me-down Bose 201 Series II bookshelf speakers.  I have a max budget of $800 but would like to keep it around $500.  I will be feeding them with my computer through an Asus STX.  I currently have a 70Wx2 @8ohm amp that works fine but am thinking that active...

I purchased the ER-4S a few years ago as my first step into quality audio.  I am the type of person who believes music should be uncolored by the playback equipment and should be highly detailed.  I was directed to the ER-4S in the IEM category and have been very happy with them.  However, I do...

I am trying to convert my flac library on my desktop to mp3 to store on my laptop/portable players. I have about 18,000 songs which I am trying to convert. Feeling comfortably with foobar's conversion, I thought I would just select all and convert to mp3. After 6hours of processing I was...

I just installed eac.99 and went through a "how to rip to flac" tutorial, but when I go to rip the tracks, the program just closes, immediately. I have restarted, reinstalled, tried a few variations given in the tutorials, but nothing is helping. Any suggestions?

Current scientific instruments can measure sound waves and electrical signals with far more precision than even the most trained listener, yet, we continue on this often ridiculous quest to achieve higher quality audio. This has lead me to speculate that even though audio technology is very well...

A friend of the family's father just passed away and they offered for me to look through his belongings and see if there was anything I need for college. Since I am in search of an audio solution, I went through is entertainment centers and found a set of Cybernet components. It looked like a...

I just ordered a Fuze but am concerned that it will not power my er4s. Since I am looking to stay small, and since I will never justify spending more than 1/3 of the cost of the headphones on an amp, I have been looking into the Fiio E5 as a potential amp solution. I have searched the forums and...

I am looking to purchase some speakers for my computer which currently has an Asus Xonar Essence STX. I listen to mainly classical and rock, but am much more critical of my classical recordings. As such I am looking for some 2 channel speakers to highlight the genre. I may eventually add a...
