    Mies E200: The best earphone you've never heard of.

    Hello again.  It's been a while since I've posted anything here, but I've stumbled upon something special enough that I figured I should spread the word about this hidden gem I found a few weeks ago.   So here I was, in need of a new portable earphone.  Last year I went off a few reviews here...

    My Entech died, so I need a new standalone DAC for under $200

    Yep, my faithful Entech 203.2 decided to up and die a couple of weeks ago.  The signal lock light still comes on and everything looks OK on the inside but I get nothing but silence out of the poor thing.  I even ordered a OPA2107 to replace the LM4562 I rolled in a few years ago just in case...

    Figured it out. Please delete me.

    I somehow managed to miss the ASIO4All config post. Everything works now. Could somebody delete this post, as it now serves no purpose. Thanks.

    Anybody ever recable a Koss A/250?

    Has anybody ever had a Koss A/250 recabled? I ran a quick search on the headphone forum and here and came up with nothing. I've been playing around with the idea of having my pair recabled, but I would like to hear if there's any improvements to be had by doing so, or if it can even be done...

    Radiohead...at Burger King?

    I had a wierd experience this morning. I overslept, and in my rush I swung by the BK near my work for a biscuit. When I walk in I hear a strange tune playing over the speakers. I stand there for a minute trying for figure out what I'm hearing when it hits me. They're playing Reckoner. In a BK...

    Stupid ticket scalpers

    So here I was at the Radiohead site refreshing every few minutes waiting for the unknown time when tickets for the Atlanta show were supposed to go on sale. Well apparently they went on sale at 9:00 AM local time, because when I refreshed the page at 9:01 I got a timeout error and wasn't able to...

    Koss A/250: My Impressions and Sextett Comparisons

    It's been about a week since I received my A/250, so I reckon it's time to set some impressions into stone, not to mention some comparisons to the mighty K240 Sextett. First, a warning. If you're sensitive to high frequency sounds or consider Grados to be too harsh then might I recommend...

    q-JAYS: Day one impressions

    Well here we are. Day one in my ownership of the jays q-JAYS IEM. If you check my profile, you can see I've been through quite a few IEMs and canalphones since I joined a year or so ago, and that doesn't even count the ones I've auditioned. Very few IEMs have actually given me a wow feeling, and...

    What's wrong with my X5?

    Edit: I finally broke down and did a complete format of the player. A few hours later everything is reinstalled and the player is functioning like it was a few days ago. I'm not sure what happened to begin with but at least it's fixed for the time being. I guess the lesson is when in doubt...

    Question about Opeth's "Damnation"

    I was just listening to this album, and I noticed that on the song "Closure", the song just abruptly stops in mid note and moves on to the next song, kind of like how Dream Theater's "Pull Me Under" ends, and it doesn't sound quite right. The song length I have is 5:16. Is this how the song is...

    What tips will make the ATH-CK7 isolate?

    That is the question. Ever since getting these earphones I've been experimenting with different tips trying to fix their chief flaw; the severe lack of isolation. Here's what I've tried so far. Stock tips: Very similar to the tips found on the EX-51 and CX300, only these seem to be a bit more...

    My first mod! (Entech 203.2)

    Inspired by this thread, I decided to take the plunge and attempt a few mods to my Entech 203.2. I am happy to say that they went off without a hitch. Here we have the 203.2 board pre mod. Sorry for the somewhat fuzzy picture but my camera was a bit funky at the time. I had already snipped...

    What 2007 albums are you waiting for?

    Since it's been confirmed that there's not gonna be any Radiohead or Massive Attack for 2007, my 2007 want to buy list is pretty much empty. I just found out that there's a new Hurt album coming out in September, so I'm probably gonna pick that one up. Aside from that, there has to be more than...

    AKG K340: First day trial impressions

    This is my first review/impression type of post, so bear with me if you will. Thanks to the all generous fitz, I have in my possession a pair of K340 headphones. This all started as a comment I made about wanting a pair but being a bit afraid about my LD2++ not being able to drive them properly...

    Problem with albums that won't rip gapless with EAC

    I was wondering if anybody here has problems with EAC ripping albums that still have gaps between the songs that aren't there on the actual CD. For example, the Of Montreal CD "Hissing Fauna" has an annoying gap between every song that isn't present on the CD when I rip it to FLAC or MP3 and...

    Cave Story: Anybody here played it?

    I can't remember where I originally heard of this game, but I figure I need to spread the word for those of you who might have missed this little gem. http://www.miraigamer.net/cavestory/ The English translation of the game is called "Cave Story", but it was originally called Doukutsu...

    Just saw Tool for the first time!!!

    At long last, I was finally able to catch a Tool show, and boy was it worth the wait! The show surpassed all my expectations, and that's saying something. There were some definite issues with SQ, especially with the bass, but overall it was tolerable, if not good at times. The track list was as...

    Adding impedance to headphones

    I have just a few questions about adding impedance to a couple of my headphones. KSC75 Since selling my pair of KSC75s to another head-fier (you know who you are), I have decided to retake a pair that I have been letting a co-worker use for the past several months (he's now using a pair of...

    Year Zero: Whos got it?

    Im sure a lot of people picked this one up today. I have listened to it three times today so far, and I am liking it more as time goes by. Unlike With Teeth, I can't really point out any songs I don't like, and I think some of the songs on this album represent some of his best work (the last two...

    Alanis Morissette - "My Humps" video

    Of Montreal. Anybody listen to them

    I just got the CD "Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?" a week ago, and I can't stop listening to it. One of the first CDs I have heard in a long while where I really didn't have an idea what I was going to hear next. All over the place, but in a good way. Awesome album that I highly...

    Where to buy subpacks for the iAudio X5

    Where in the world to you go to get ahold of these things? Do to an unfortunate accident, mine is in critical condition, with the connector severely bent and cracked (yet it still works, for now...). The jetmall.net site is almost always out of stock, and I haven't had any luck on eBay. Does...

    Help me ID my HD595s. 50 or 120 Ohm.

    I purchased a pair of what I believe to be 120ohm HD595s (no box) off of eBay not too long ago, and I am now starting to question if they really are the 50ohm version and not the 120 version. The main reason I ask is that they are extremely easy to drive, only slightly harder to drive then my...

    Year Zero promotions/propganda

    I'm suprised nobody has mentioned the amount of effort Trent Reznor is putting in marketing his new album. Leaking songs at select concerts, having a company set up fake websites that directly relate to the theme of the album, and having a really freaky video on his site (yearzero.nin.com, click...
