I'm using the headphone out on an old NAD 1130 preamp to drive my headphones at home. Sounds good to me, but as I haven't heard many different cans and amps, I'm wondering if I'm missing something? good listening, Andrew

If you're looking at LSi9s, I'd suggest also auditioning a pair of Paradigm Mini Monitors or Studio 20s (20s are more $$$, but can be found reletively easily used). Another one to consider would be the Axiom bookshelf (I forget the model number). I auditioned all three, and ended up with the...

I've recently been wondering if it's better for my iPod's battery life (longevity, not usability time) to operate it from external power sources when possible or to simply recharge it periodically. Or does it matter? The place in question for me the most is in my car, where I have the option...

For me, in order of preference for SQ: - Shure Ultra flex Silicon - Biflange - Short Comply In order of comfort: - Short comply - Shure Ultra Flex Silicon (tie) - Biflange (tie) So I usually end up with the biflange or ultra flex tips in, unless it's a *really* long flight...

Of your list, I've only personally heard the Paradigm Atoms and the Polks. I preferred the Paradigms, they seemed to be more neutral and natural sounding than the Polks, which were a bit warmer. For just a little more you might be able to find some Paradigm Mini Monitors, they are a...

I, too, wear mediums in the Shure tips. I think you'll find the short Comply tips are not only more comfy (although, I found I couldn't wear triflange - maybe I have a "shallow" ear canal), but you'll definately hear a difference between them and the long ones. if you find you don't care for the...

My experience with various tips on UM2s: Full size comply - felt like they were "stuffed" in my ear. A bit dark. Short Comply - much more comfortable - probably the most comfortable. Still a bit on the dark side, sound-wise, but nearly as much as the full size. Ultra soft silicone - these...

Quote: Originally Posted by kichu1979 Not sure what's you experience with iem, but people have different experience with um2 and different tips used. For me UM2 are most bassy on westone complys, shure clear and gray flex tips seems to give them more balance. The pity for me was I...

I've been doing some research on the 3M film that the InvisibleShield, BestSkinEver, and ClearViewSkin are made of, and came across the installation instructions for the car kits made of the same stuff (3M paint protection film). http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3...e/For/the_Pro/...

That second cable looks sharp, and it appears to have a USB port (is that essentially a pocketdock hardwired to the cable?). The one thing I don't like about the pocketdock/sendstation is it's thickness (it doesn't fit well when my iPod is in it's case) and the fact that it doesn't lock like...

I've never heard the UM1, but bought a pair of UM2 after having a pair of Shure e2c for about 4 months. No comparison, for me the UM2s have a better low end, and are much cleaner (more accurate) than the e2s. The UM2 are compared to IEMs like e5c...UM1 just doesn't compete in that class. If...
