    talk me out of getting J3

    as somebody who runs four rackmount digital sound processors in my home system i am a bit partial to gear with FUNCTIONAL equalizers in it.  which my iphone 3GS does not have.   i need a player with maximum ability to customize the frequency response, especially in the bass.  i need a unit...

    mp3 player with good EQ

    ok i can't stand iPhone.  the EQ is WORTHLESS.  half of the presets barely do anything, another half do what i don't need and yet some others outright CLIP and distort - TOTAL FAIL.  also i am kinda running low on the memory too on my 16 gig unit, i want 32 gig.   i have Sennheiser IE8 and i...

    just got my IE8 - are they fake ?

    it seems that there is a small blemish on the plastic casing next to the bass adjusting knob.  it is quite prominent and it is only on one headphone.  this made me suspicious.   how can i tell if they are real ?

    Is Monster made by Sennheiser ?

    this looks suspicious:   graphCompare.php   hm ...   http://img35.imageshack.us/f/10970853.jpg/   http://www.touchmyapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/HP-Review-Monster-TPG-glamour.jpg   i think monster definitely has "consulted" sennheiser at some point ;)

    where can i buy non-fake IE8 at lowest price ?

    ie8 vs ie7 - physical differences

    ok i probably won't consider IE6 as the 7 are almost the same price.  so it's between 7 and 8.   ok subjective stuff is subjective - i will have my own opinion on that - what about physical differences ?   are 8 more sensitive than 7 ?  sennheiser claims 5 db more sensitivity, but i am...

    best pocket size radio ?

    i currently have Aiwa CR-LD100 which is dying and needs replacement ... it has to be small but also have good sound and AM reception ( not just fm ). so far i think my best option is Sony SRF-T615 but at $120 it seems overpriced. Sony SRF-M97 is exactly twice as cheap and i really like...

    Stax 717 Driver Question

    it says that it uses balanced input "to fully utilize the newly designed balanced amplifier circuitry" now this scares me, because i dont see what inputs have to do with the rest of the circuitry, i hope they dont mean that with unbalanced input it will only drive one of the two electrodes...

    making practical use of bi-wiring

    i just had an idea regarding K701s bi-wiring. why not cut off their phono plug and outfit it with two mono plugs instead ? then use a "dual mono" amplifier to drive them ? the incentive would be that each of the mono amps could be push-pull with both the + and - of the headphone actively...

    Amp for AKG K701s

    the features / performance specs that i am after are: 1 - ability to drive any dynamic headphone ( but especially K701 ) to 120 db or to death ( whichever comes first ) 2 - low THD + N 3 - balanced inputs ( i would really like to have this, because my source(s) have balanced outputs )...
