Just got a pair of these to replace my Soundmagic PL30 that I lost, needed something for early work mornings and on the go. First listen the bass was too overpowering. As I've gotten used to them and they've had time to burn-in, the bass has calmed down. They sound great for the price, and I'd...

I've got this too. It seems like its halfway switching to bass boost and still muddies up the sound a little bit. Personally, the bass-boost off option sounds best to me.

Google "White van speakers" and you'll see why these aren't even worth the shipping costs...

Well, I think it might be time to upgrade my budget IEMs since the new college semester is about to start. So, would these be a decent step up from the Panny HJE-50? Mostly rock and metal, and the HJE-50 seems to do decently, but lacks soundstage and oomph. Oh, and while were at it, can the...

I'd have to say "Crazy Electric Penis".

The Onix X-LS over at AV123 for $199 a pair are an excellent value. I'd also suggest the Ascend 340's ($568) and the Paradigm Titans (can be had for $199 if you shop around).

That, my friend, is why God invented Freschetta.

AV123 has a speaker coming later this year called the Onix X-PLS. It's basically an MTM (two midbasses and a tweeter) speaker with a sub and a passive radiator built into the lower part of the speaker. MLS has been saying that the tower itself will produce enough bass without really needing a...

I'm very curious how well the floorstanding models perform. The 5-speaker package looks good, but I'm curious how they'd stand up to a set of Onix XL-S...

While I dont like the band he's in, Joey Jordison was born to wield drumsticks. If you've ever seen some clips of him doing live solos, you'll be a believer.

-Limited HDD space & -In my own comparisons, 192kb LAME MP3s are almost exactly like the original CD. I say almost because, in some situations, I can hear a small difference, but not enough to justify the space and time.

Looks beautiful! Just add some Tool to the mix and you've got pure magic.

Here's a shot I snapped for my Myspace profile:

I made up my screen name when I had a big obsession with living in southern california. I kind of regret it because now I've got no plans on moving there, but then again, I cant think of any other SN I would've picked...

I say do what you want, man. The thing about high school is, yeah, some people might say something behind your back, but no one's gonna be a total prick in front of everyone about it. That was cool back in middle school, but not so much now. Personally, I'm a ripped jeans guy, I just like the...

Dang, your making my mouth water. I absolutely love spicey food myself. But, yeah, that picture, definatly not doing the meal justice. Looks like guts and blood to me.

Gotta grab a pillow or I just cant doze off. Which is weird, I hardly ever slept with stuffed animals when I was a kid.

Dredg (listening to "Catch Without Arms" right now!) Porcupine Tree (In Absentia and Deadwing being my two faves) And I guess you could also consider Muse a sleeper...

I used to love the cartoon Angry Beavers when I was younger, so mine is a homage to a great show. Wish they'd box set that show...

Finally following Trigun closely enough to finish the series. The show has such a great story that twists every episode. Also trying to get Neon Genesis Evangelion finished up, which I've been enjoying a lot as well.
