There's a pink one. >.>; It will be mine.

Gain of 3 is actually okay for the MS-1s, but might be too much for the E2 since it has 16ohms impedance and a fairly high sensitivity. Try unity gain, maybe.

My avvies are usually J-Rock or J-Pop artists that I listen to. Makes sense, no?

My boss is a slightly chubby Japanese man who plays World of Warcraft and is an ex-EQ player. Needless to say, he rocks.

Well, I have a job now. Go me. I work at a bar that pretends to be an Irish pub even though no one who works there is even part Irish. lol I wash dishes and empty trashcans and clean, which is a lot better than serving drinks because I don't have to worry about dirty old men. Unfortunately...

xin feng seems to think the sennheiser mx series benefits from amping. I'm not so sure though.

The E3c are much more detailed than the EX71, to the point that you will probably notice the deficiencies of such low bitrates.

I'll give you a suggestion from the other side of the fence; my side. You want a girl to feel loved and special? It's really easy; listen to her. Listen to anything she has to say, and I don't mean in one ear and out the other. Listen, learn, comment, even debate sometimes. If I'm dating...

I have noticed that while the large iPods seem to be a common head-fi'er choice for portable audio, very, very few head-fi'ers use the iPod Mini. I only know of myself and a few others. Most head-fi'ers with microdrives seem to pick the Zen. *shrug* I dunno, I didn't like the looks of the Zen...

All of Shure's phones have pretty rolled-off treble. The solution is to EQ them; the treble is there, it's just rolled way off. Pushing up the deficient frequencies on your player's EQ will help; these phones are very tolerant of equalization.

It's really quite simple. All you have to do is get some 1/8 watt 1% metal-film 75ohm resistors. Unless you have an uber meter, you're not going to be able to match them any closer than they already are (1% of 75ohms is .75ohms, so the imbalance will likely be negligible, it has been in all...

My chemistry teacher taught us how to make mortar type fireworks, complete with sparklies and colors and a homemade launch tube out of PVC pipe. She didn't get arrested.

It's really amazing that an ancient design like a katana is so incredibly strong... it really says a lot about the skill of Japanese swordsmiths.

Very interesting article; and it makes a good point. If life on earth like archaeobacteria which live in conditions that would kill any other form of life, then I'm sure life can exist in other places with similar harsh conditions.

As was stated previously, the AD843 draws 13mA of quiscient. As for the headphones I'm using, they are my DT440s. I've never heard Grados on OPA627, but I've heard my headphones on OPA627 and it's not lively enough for me. Very detailed, very resolved, but slow. Too slow for me.

The power rails in a cMoy are going to be that unbalanced, moreso when music is playing. The resistive voltage divider is not perfect. If you want to keep the rails more even, replace the two resistors with a TLE2426 "rail splitter." Oh, and yeah you need an isolated DC jack, or it will...

I didn't like Portishead the first time I listened to their self-titled album. Then I listened to "Dummy" and liked it a lot, and went back to the self-titled, and liked it even more. One of my favorite albums, Shiina Ringo's "Karuki Zaamen Kurino Hana" I absolutely hated, thought it was...
