I just hope pitchforks and torches will not be involved @ PAX.  Been participating with the forums on BSN.  Needless to say, there are issues.

Seen that one and many more.   If not discussed already, what were your favorite moments?  And I won't discuss the ending until MuppetFace finishes.  

LOL, I'll have some tissues ready for you.  My virtual lips are sealed.  No spoilers. 

So... um.. who's finished the game?  

I'm really enjoying this thread.  It seems like many are open minded about the music presented here.  Just to give a shout out to my heritage, take a listen to some of the following.  It's traditional Korean folk music, pansori.  In my opinion, this style has such richness of expression and...

Just FYI for all you Mass Effect 3 lovers out there.  If you have bought the PC version, expect some issues with installation and redeeming codes.  I'm very pissed with EA right now for the troubles I'm going through.   Not to intrude too much and derail this wonderful topic (feels like a...

I think satanigatan hit the nail on the head.   Beats is doing well because they have become very popular.  Their line is available practically everywhere, at least here in the USA.  So I would venture to say that their success is attributed to 75% marketing/advertising and maybe 25% to...

Respect?  Only in the sense that it is a widely recognized brand name.   I'm one of the few (I think) who approach anything made by Monster with a wide breadth of skepticism.  I used to think their cables and related products were the sh**, but I've since grown out of that.  The only caveat...

PurpleAngel   I have not tried with Foobar yet.  In my readings, I have seen many here mention Foobar, so I will definitely be giving that a try.  I'll post impressions as I go.

Quote: Not sure about Fio specifically since I don't own one.  In general, I suspect that it will based upon my subjective experience with amps.  Amps, in general, will bolster the signal going into your headphones.  In most cases, that would be a tangible, increased sound quality...

@ PurpleAngel   Ah! I'm reserving that Blu-ray experience for an aural treat later in the week. I don't have the right setup to take advantage of my DT990, so I have to wait till all the components arrive.  I initially started my forays into this murky world in a quest to find a set of...

@ holdincourt   I would be more than happy to provide my impressions once I can get ahold of one.  Unfortunately, the US seems to be out of luck on the E17 till early March or so.  I can wait, my wallet thanks me for now.   BTW Just received my DT 990 Pro 250 ohm, and it is definitely...

Thanks PurpleAngel for the suggestion.   I'm looking at the E17 as my current solution.  I'm trying to "future proof" myself somewhat because I'm thinking about getting some decent IEMs in the near future.   Anyone have any other suggestions, pros, cons?  

Newb here, recent lurker and baby hobbyist.   I would like some suggestions and input for a portable amp setup.  I will mainly be using it for Ipod Classic 160gb (don't know which generation) and laptop.  My portable headphone selection is rather limited to under $100 range, but I'm open to...
