Hey, I got my SM58 today, plugged it into my E-MU 0404 USB - set the microphone gain to +65db and shouting into the microphone barely registers in the -18dB LED. Covering the microphone with my hand and speaking loudly into into it makes it jump to -12 or even -6dB but the "SL" light comes...

Hey, I just got my HD600 this morning -- I didn't A/B to my Shure E5 or HD595 yet, but overall impression is far more spacious than E5, but probably sound closer to the E5 than the HD595 overall. While I can't hear more detail in them yet (maybe I need to listen to more material), the detail...

Hi, This is my current setup: Behringer B2031A -> Crappy onboard audio on an Apple desktop. Problem is despite all grounding, fair stereo cables, UPS (which made it a little better), I hear some background whine/noise/static/buzz whenever I load the PC (i.e. start a high definition...

Can anyone help me with my B2092A - the red input light started coming on occasionally a few months ago (on any volume level) which required simply touching the input and the input light went off no big deal and this seemed to happen once a week or so. But it then happened more and more until...

I'm looking for suitable speaker stands for my Behringer B2031A speakers and so far all I can find is concert or studio tri-pod like stands and nothing for the home. I use these speakers to listen to music, not make or play live in concert but currently I have them about 1.5 meters away from...

Just heard it, kinda liked it - Aguilera with Bocelli? What, lol? - Are there other duets like this with Aguilera or other artists whom you wouldn't expect to pull something like this off? Does Aguilera an album of this genre somewhere I can't find, lol? - What is this genre called anyway...

OK, these things are HUGE but so is the sound -- Only hooked up the left speaker so far so will post impressions when I've listened to them more. Couple of questions for all you powered speaker owners from a total powered speakers noob 1) If I get one of those split end power cables so I...

Hey there, Title says it all really, I have a relatively small room of around 4x3 meters and I would like to get some pretty good stereo speakers to use with my PC (mAudio Rev 7.1 sound card). I've looked around and it seems active is better for near field than passive? - and in which case...

One evening my ear just started to hurt real bad, bad enough I couldnt sleep the night. Next day my GP prescribed some "otomize" which is a half steroid, half antibiotic ear spray that removed pain for the most part but I'm left (temporarily) almost completely deaf in one ear, ARGH! If anyone...

Hey, ever since I bought my Shure E5 canalphones, I cant tolerate all this crappy sound from systems like the Logitech Z640 5.1 or Sony EX71 headphones, or anything that sounds so nazal, shrill and insanely heavy on the bass. I guess I'm willing to spend anything between $300 and $1000 on a...

What! - this is the most hiss riddled player I have ever heard. Sure I heard hiss on the sblive at night and some static on cheap flash players, but this is rediculous. Its like listening to a record from the 60s (except its just loud hiss, no crackling), its just unlistenable without using an...

I mean... WOW! With the Shure E5, this is a night and day difference to my previous flash player (IOPS MPF-350) and still much better than the M-Audio Rev (envy24HT). I didnt A/B this with the Ipod, but I was never impressed with the sound quality of my friend's ipod. So what did the...

yeah.. where is it?

Anyone can recommend a 3.5mm stereo extension cable? -- I cant find a single cable that lasts longer than a month or so

I owned the M-Any Ultrasm and the IOPS MPF350 and tried various other players in the store. While all of them were more than powerful enough to drive my Shure E3 and Shure E5, and most these days have OGG Vorbis support, none had the sound quality I was looking for. My current reference is...

I've gone through the following stages: 1) Sony EX71 - I really loved them, even pushed the highs and lows further with equalizer (what was I thinking, lol). 2) Got Shure E3 - detail was amazing, but they sounded claustrophobic and dull (hell they did after getting used to the EX71 with...

Cant say much about it so far, except for make sure you set it to 44100Hz or you'll get sound in either slow or fast motion Just 1 complaint though, ITS ***** LOUD! -- I have to listen to it at absolute *minimum* volume which is *still* too loud on my Shure E5 headphones. Is this normal...

This is what I could find about both: -------------------- A.N.T. ‘Amber’ -------------------- Seems the Amber is a carefully crafted amplifier that has a good concept of why use top notch components that dont make an audiable difference especially if you're going to be amplifying the...

I want to get a headphone amp for my Shure E5 headphones. I've been told I will need something as good as Gilmore V2 thats not available in the UK. Can anyone recommend something good that will fit the E5 available in the UK? I dont need it to be portable since I will use it strictly at...

I currently have the Creative Sound Blaster Live! Platinum 5.1 -- its more or less ok, but I can hear some distortion and some hiss when listening to headphones as sensitive as the E5. -- Also, I can hear it if anyone turns the light on down stairs as distortion, lets me know if anyone is coming...

I'm sitting here listening to the E3c for one of the last times before I sell them. With my E5 I no longer need them. But hell, once equalized, the bass impact on the E3c is amazing! -- the Sony EX70/71 with their muddy loud bass dont come close - even strictly impact wise! Whats more amazing...

I've tried all the included tips, triflange, modified triflange and tried to make my own tips from a pair of earplugs Most to Least isolating: 1) Triflange 2) Modified Triflange (top flange cut off) 3) My foam earplug tips attempt 4) Grey/Clear flex tips - medium size (I use the EX71...

Ok, its time for me to sell my E3c, but I'm debating which case to keep for my E5 headphones While they are the same size and the only non cosmetic difference is on the E3c you have a thingy in the middle you wrap the cable around. For those that seen both cases. Which one do you prefer...

Hey, I got my Shure E5s several days ago and want to get some new music to go with them -- I searched for relaxing music on google and found either indian music or trance. For my taste however, I find the following tracks relaxing: Mariah Carey - My All Andrea Bocelli & Celine Dion -...

While they are very comfortable, and I got some Otoferm creme as recommended, I have a strange problem. When I go swimming or take a bath, I cant get water out of my right ear at all. I have to wait until it dries out naturally or use a hair drier. Thing is I never had this problem ever...
