      It would take a lot more than a 370Z for me to consider that....

      No no, I'm sure the "coiffed Canadian" was a reference to Justin Bieber, not you.

        That is a priceless way to refer to that who should not be named.

    Cowon Plenue P1

      Indeed, even 64GB is enough for me, as long as I am not storing video.

    Cowon Plenue P1

    No, they'd rather overcharge for a storage bump like Apple does.

    Now let's see if this player recycles any parts from their players of 4 or 5 years ago, like they have done so often in the past......

    An audiophile and petrolhead's journal: Buckle up!

    A strange thing happened yesterday. First, I was very excited to see what appeared to be a bright yellow Lotus Exige in traffic while I was on my way to work.....rarely do i see anything like that around here. Then, as I was walking into work, I realized the oddity of the situation was even...

    Will your guys be allowed to carry any type of weapon? I would assume they are also well-trained at hand-to-hand, though.

    Pictures of Your *Mid-Fi* Portable Rig ($200 - $600)

      A couple of years ago, when I had lower-grade headphones, I probably would have complained about the lack of any kind of equalizer, but now that I have some quality 'phones, I have no complaints about the sound. Even if I never put a SIM card in it, it's still like an iPod Touch but far...

    Reply to review by 'achmedisdead' on item 'Sennheiser HD 201 Headphones'

    You are right about them needing a lot of power....when I had mine I almost wondered if the listed 24 ohms was a mistake! When I got mine they were a nice step up from Sansa earbuds, but I don't miss them now. :-)

    Pictures of Your *Mid-Fi* Portable Rig ($200 - $600)

      OK, I gave it a whirl with some gapless tunes, and no, not proper gapless. Roughly equivalent to a lower-end non-Android Sony player, if memory serves me correctly.  I don't have a ton of gapless music, so it's not something that would really bug me(besides I have several other players that...

    Pictures of Your *Mid-Fi* Portable Rig ($200 - $600)

    I don't know yet....I just got it and I haven't had any free time to just chill and really listen. Hopefully in the next couple days I will be able to find out, I loaded a few gapless albums on earlier.

      I've had them for a little bit now, just never posted a pic...lol. Really excellent sound if you can handle the clamping force (maybe I just have a big head?)   So the full description of above....Nokia Lumia 520 playing Pandora, into the wonderful Sennheiser HD25-1 II.

    I've heard that the Swiss Guard are pretty bad-ass, not to be trifled with.  And as far as the Pope, I'm not a religious sort either, but this new Pope seems like a good one.

    Cowon Plenue P1

      Mach3Bass, I do like that....but some of the other effects lumped in under the all-encompassing "BBE" name are just awful, IMO.

    Cowon Plenue P1

          Natural? Nope. I can sit there with a Cowon player, and after a while, tinkering with all the BBE effects and EQ, I can get a slightly more pleasing sound than with everything disabled, but there is a very fine line between pleasing and, "What happened, this sounds weird now". I just...

      It is indeed rather hideous.....lol. But it runs Rockbox and it was free.
