I know I'm not the only one with these ICs here. I was just wondering if anyone else that has a pair has noticed them getting a little more flexible with time? Mine are still very stiff and it's getting annoying.

I picked up a Sony D-303 for my desktop system and it's great except for one thing. It skips while playing certain gold CDs. I have most of the DCC catalog, and a few MFSL gold discs and the player won't even recognize some of the discs, while others play just fine, and some skip so much they're...

I've been trying to decide which direction I'm going to take my desktop system at work. I've placed an order with Meier Audio for power, now I'm looking for a source, sorta. I've been listening to a few of the older Sony Discman (men?), D-10, D-9, D-2. The D-10 is my favorite, but compared to an...

Anyone heard both? I never gave much thought to crossfeed until I heard Xin's version on the SM3, now I kinda like it. I'm looking for a desktop amp, so it's down to the Corda HA-1 MkII or the Headroom Desktop. Thoughts anyone?

Anyone else have one? Mine just arrived today and so far it seems really polite, but I've only been listening for an hour or so.

I got a D-10 on ebay and it came with an external battery, model BP-100, it clips to the underside of the player. As one can imagine after so many years it is dead. Does anyone know of a source for a new one? (insert laugh here) A google search didn't help much.

I've picked up a D-2, D-11, D-9, D-10, and one other one on ebay and they all work fine, exept for the D-9, sorta. I have a powerstrip that I plug my PSU into, and it powers all of them just fine except for the D-9. The D-9 will only work when the PSU is plugged directly into the wall socket...

I've been looking at the Desktop Amp. I'm wondering if upgrading to the onboard DAC would be worth it, or should I save those $$$ and go with a dedicated DAC?

D-555 on ebay.

These video clips make soldering look fairly easy. Is it?

When I walked in I thought I was going to buy the DT 880, after a couple of hours listening to a Chesky demonstration disc I added the HD 650 to the mix and did a little A/B thing. It was pretty cool when I walked in Mario sat me down in front of an amp and cd player and then let me be, I...

I've been thinking about getting a new amp to go with my other stuff. The SM3 is at the top of the list at the moment, but a new something from HeadRoom is a close second. When I think about adding to my home system I usually add the stability of the manufacturer to the checklist. Having Andy...

I finally tried the Oto-ease that came with the ES2 and it feels like it makes it easier to get them in your ears and it might even help with getting a good seal. But does it builds-up over time? Has anyone ever had anything bad happen to their IEMs from too much Oto-ease?

WOOT! More to follow.

I ordered Westone ES2s today.
