    I've been out of the game... Help. Please.

    The last IEMs I bought were the brainwavz M3. I've been using them for years and years because, well, I like how they sound with foam tips. But, I thought I'd start looking because surely the tech has improved! Basically, a search for new IEMs has just utterly confused me. So, my question is...

    Brainwavz M3 or HiFiMan RE0?

    Ok, so my senn IE7's gave up the goose, well the right can did at least. Doing some looking around I've narrowed down my choice to replace the IE7's to either the Brainwavz M3 or the HiFiMan RE0. I just can't decide. Somebody convince me either way!   im in the uk so it's tough getting hold...

    senn ie7 giving me grief!

    The right can on my ie7 is a lot quieter than the left and as a result the whole sound stage has shifted left slightly, tried on numerous sources its certainly the cans. Has anyone come across this before? Any ideas for me? I'm out of warranty by 2 months by the way !!

    IEMS - What I didn't know!

    1. Singing along is a NO NO 2. Eating and listening is a disgusting NO NO 3. Walking with heavy feet is a NO NO I never knew these things.

    IEM to partner with iPod touch gen1

    Never had a pair of IEMs before so it's an unknown to me. Looking in the region of $100. Would like a nice wide stage, low imp and something that partners well with the touch 1st gen. Have looked at the Vmoda Vibes, am leaning towards them at the moment unless you can sway me in another...

    iPod Touch Alarm Clock

    Can anyone suggest a clock/radio/alarm for the touch? I was about to get an iLuv i177 as it sounds really quite nice for it's size until I read the manufacturers website..."Alarm function not compatible with the iPod Touch due to software issues". Plus, from what I can tell, to use any of...

    D2 SDHC Integeration, ID3 browsing

    If I get a 16gb D2 and a 16gb class 4 SDHC, will they be integrated seamlessly? Also, does the D2 allow browsing through ID3 tagging aswell as file/folder? Going to take the plunge on a 16gb I reckon.

    Yuin PK1 > FiiO E3 > 3.5mm - 2.5mm > Nokia E71

    Sounds suprisingly good! I didn't get the E71 for music at all and the quality through the stock buds is easily the worst I've heard, ever. But, today I thought I would give it a whirl with the above setup and it sounds suprisingly pleasant. I usually use the FiiO and PK1s with my 32gb touch...

    Mini - Mini, Channels switched?!

    What would cause this... When I use my new mini to mini interconnect with my DAP and amp, the channels seem to be in the wrong places? Vocals over to the left where previously they were in the middle. Drums over to the right. Backing vocals that should be panned hard right are now slap in the...

    iPod Touch 2.0 EQ

    For all you iPod Touch 2.0 users... Have you noticed a difference in the EQ presets? They appear to be less exaggerated. In 1.1.4 using the Latin setting I was getting a lot of distortion in the low end but after upping to 2.0 all this has gone. In general all the presets seem to have been...

    What to Rip with?

    Few questions... 1. Does anybody use Fraunhofer? Is it superior to LAME? 2. What application do people use to rip MP3's? 3. Why does iTunes appear to lower the volume on ripped MP3's? Thanks!

    Do DAPs "burn in"?

    Sounds silly to me but do they? The reason I ask is that I bought an iPod touch a few weeks ago, at first it was distorting quite heavily on a lot of music, now, after a 100 or so hours use, it's stopped! Same cans etc. Or, are my cans adapting to the source? Something has happened to stop...

    I would like to recable my SR60s for portable use. I.e. 3.5ft cable thinner and more flexible than the stock. I looked over at apuresound but the cost outweighs the advantage. Is anybody on here willing to undertake a DIY project for me?!?! I will pay of course! I would attempt this myself...
