Music is at the end at 1:53:25. It's like soft classical acoustic indian music, but I have no clue what artists and albums I should be looking at. Please, anyone with anything similiar, help!

Possibly a silly question, but something I need to ask.   In the driver control panel (Asus Audio Center) for the Essence ST, there is a DSP mode labelled HF (Hi-Fi mode) which according to the manual, disables all sound processing and gives a pure audio signal.   Is this mode just the...

How are these headphones ranked these days? I'm looking for pair of open (or open sounding) headphones to complement my HD650s, something brighter, forward and airy sounding, mostly for rock and vocal heavy music. I want headphones that have very transparent and upfront mids, but not congested...

I'm looking for some closed and isolating portable headphones, something that is the same form factor and similiar sounding to the PX100, but which isolates fairly well and more importantly, does not leak sound to the outside.   The PX200-II seem to be the perfect match, but I didn't like...

I know headphone drivers (dynamic drivers at least) burn in and sound better over time and this eventually comes to a plateau at which point they sound their best (fully burned in drivers).   But does it start going the other way? In other words do normal headphone drivers start to wear out...

Would the A1000X be a good replacement for my A900?   I like the sound of my A900, but I am not too fussed if the A1000X sounds slightly different, just so long as it's has balanced bass/mids/treble and a similiar sound signature to the A900.   Also I've read the bass is weak on the...

Just discovered them and holy crap, are they amazing or what? Been listening to Samus Octology and Sol Eye Sea I and I'm truly in sonic heaven, just breath taking music. Thing I like about them most is that they seem to combine so many of the elements of rock, metal and electronica I have come...

One of my Super.fi 5 Pro earpieces crapped out recently (lasted just under 2 years of frequent use) and I'm looking for a replacement. I considered getting another SF5P mainly because I very much like its sound signature, but I've got the impression they don't last all that long, which isn't a...

I think I may be allergic to the artificial leather (or "pleather") found on the stock A900 pads and I'm wondering if there are any real leather pads that are compatible with the A900 headphones. If so, where can I obtain them? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=22d_1184657661 This is really doing my head in. The video does look real, but some of the manuveres the chopper makes seem physically impossible. I need some advice!

I'm not sure if this is normal behaviour but my Super.fi 5 Pro cables (thicker clear version) is turning green but only around the part that curls around my ear, i.e. the section with the memory wire. Its actually a very dark and somewhat beautifully vivid green that is apparently caused by...

Would really appreciate some suggestions here! It is one of those genres which I keep coming back to even though I never really stay with it for too long when I do (if that makes any sense). My trouble with it is that either the music is rediculously abstract and hard to get into or just pure...

I know there are quite a few The Gathering fans here and those who just love Anneke van Giersbergen's voice (like me ). Either way, what are your favourite albums (in order) and what are your opinions on these albums? From the albums I have listened to so far, here is my list: 1.)...

I recently got these, primarily for gaming and general usage on my PC and while it works great, I'm still a little disappointed with the mid-bass recession. Not exactly sure where abouts it is but I'm guessing theres a slight dip around the 200hz region that gives a subtle but noticeable...

I've nearly completed my collection of Amon Tobin albums and love every one of them (my favourite album is Supermodified) and I'm wondering what artists/groups are similiar to his style? I just love that dark, twisted and cerebral jazz/dnb/jungle/electronic infused atmosphere he creates with...

How do these two compare and is the Super.Fi worth the extra cash? What exactly would I be losing by settling for the CX300? Would I gain anything over the Super.Fi? I previously owned the Super.Fi 5 Pro (but lost it ) and the KSC-75s I'm currently using are simply no match for them in noisy...

I just recently lost my beloved super.fi 5 pros and an ipod shuffle on my way to uni and the chances of it being returned is next to nil. So I'm looking for an IEM/Earphone with similar sound signature and accuracy that is less £100. The things I liked about the super.fi 5 pro was the...

I don't know why but everytime I listen to my favourite bands I keep imagining the sound you'd get if two or more of them produced an album together. Personally, I'd be absolutely ecstatic if Tool and Shpongle worked on a concept album together. Two very different genres but I think they...

I'm thinking of upgrading my card and at the level I'm looking at, both offerings from either side seem pretty much equally matched (7900GT and X1800XT), but there seems to be alot of difference in opinion concerning the drivers. According to most people it seems Nvidia have the best drivers...

I'd like use the diskwriter in foobar2000 so that I can easily transcode my lossless files into AAC. Does anyone know a way of doing this? Is itunes the only choice? Are there any command line encoders for AAC?

Does anyone know if there is a reliable way of finding out if your headphones have been damaged due to excessively loud volumes? From past experience I know cheap earbuds start to rattle or just completely pop if the volume is left too high. Also, does this apply to the fixed armature...

I was wondering if there are any sound quality differences between the different firmware versions? Does the EQ and sound effects change between the various firmware? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As the title says, I bought an X5 from the USA which comes with a power adapter which is labeled as having an "AC 120V, 60Hz 11w" input but UK voltage is 240V. Does anyone know if I can simply by a 2-pin to 3-pin converter or do I need a voltage transformer (or 240V UK power adapter)...

The double-flanged tips seem to sound the best but they feel awkward and loose in my ears compared to the ER6i triple-flanges I normally use. Are there any triple-flanges available for the SFP5s? Thanks! P.S. Arn't these supposed to be better than the ER6i? So far the mids and treble just...

Creative have posted a new firmware update for the zen touch on their website which makes it "play for sure" compliant (mtp protocol) so that you listen to subscribtion based music downloads. This doesn't really mean anything to me, but what I would like to know is if creative have fixed the...
