    Rewire My Shure E500s

    Hello,   I'm looking for someone who would do a pro job rewiring my E500s with high quality cable.  I'm not sure what kind of wire to use so I could use some suggestions on that also.  I use them all the time - from recording (I'm a drummer) to jogging with them.  I would like a non-tangle...

    Cowon D2 or Creative Zen - 8GB ??

    I need something to carry to the gym that sounds great and is small. SQ is most important, but I picked these 2 players because they're small and expandable with the cards. Mp3 240vb is the only format I use. I will barely, if ever, use this for video so that's not an issue. Anyone????

    Kenwood HD60GD9 vs iMod???????

    Hello. I currently have an 80g iMod with a Headsix amp that sounds incredible. The problem is that I'm getting a little tired of the bulkiness. I'm beginning to think that I would like a player that can slide in my pocket or clip to my belt, but I don't want to give up much SQ. Has anyone done a...

    My 2 Cents On Shure's Black Foamies

    I'll probably get flamed for this, but I bought some of the black foamies and I still prefer the yellow ones. As we all know, the E500s are a bit light on the top end and the blacks add a bit more low end, which the E500s definitely don't need. The added weight seems to recess the highs, which...

    Rant On IEM Comfort

    Does anybody have the same problems as I do with the super.fi 5pro comfort? Man, I've tried every tip, including foamies, and they just don't seat very well. When you squish the foamies before insertion, they almost expand as quick, so you end up pushing them in and scraping your canal with the...

    Best PMP for SQ, Video and 60 Gigs or More

    This whole iTouch thing has got me worked up enough to look into a nice PMP. The problem is that I have an 80gig iMod that I love, but want more out of one device. *SQ is super important. I know it won't touch the iMod. *I will be pairing the PMP with either the Tomahawk or Move so that will...

    Clipping or no clipping????

    Can someone tell me what they think the problem is: I have my entire library ripped with Easy CD-DA Extractor, 240vbr, MP3Gain default values and I sometimes get a slight quick distortion in one or the other ear. It's not very often, but it's pretty annoying. I'm currently listening to Mindy...

    RSA colored casings for sale??

    I searched the forums for the answer, but can't seem to find it. Sorry if it's already been asked. Can you purchase just the RSA Hornet and Tomahawk colored casings separately and if so, how much? It would be nice to be able to switch every now and then.

    Classical Makes Me Jump!

    Hello. I bought a wonderful classical cd per the advice of a fellow Head-Fier and have it in my iMod. Do any of you find the volume difference from soft to loud passages overwhelming and, if so, what can you do about it? I want to relax while listening to it, but unless you know it's coming...

    iMod Tech Question.

    Can anyone tell me why the 5.5g iMod conversion only affects the docking port and not the headphone out? It would seem that if Vinnie is replacing some important components internally, that it would affect the headphone out also. Any techies out there that can answer this? Thanks.

    Amp battery question

    Hello. Does anybody have any thoughts on what type of 9v battery to use with the Meier Porta Corda or does it matter, just as long as it's a name brand? Is there any sonic differences between batteries? FYI, the amp does not accept rechargeables. Thanks in advance.
