T Amp + insignia rocks. Problem is BB (the bastards) raised the price to $90, putting you in the nose bleed area. For that much money you could also consider the JBL Control 1x. ========== But if you want ease of use, cheap and damn good sound with no sub, RUN (don't walk) to buy JBL...

As a Postscript OP.... Just remember that in (short amount of time) we'll have (blu-ray, HD DVD, hybrid) and we'll be able to put (70-120GB) of data on a disc that cost ($0.06 - $10.00) And you'll look back at the thought of killing yourself over 500gb as funny. No, it won't happen...

OP, you're overthinking this.... Let's say that by the time you take the CD out the case, rip it and put it back you're looking 5 min per disk. That's 125 hours non-stop. So let's say you average 30 minutes a day... Every. Single. Day. You're still looking at the better part of a year...

The answer is never. Steve Jobs has made his living making stunning technology available to the masses. There where other computers before the Mac and most of them where an absolute mess. There where other MP3 players before the iPod and most of them where an absolute mess. There...

Not to beat on OP but if you had to ask about the KSC-75s we all know you didn't use the search feature.

OK, so like, don't tell anybody on headfi because the might make fun of me... but my wife bought a pair of the Colby CV130s (little brother of the CV200) because they lay perfectly flat to use as a pillow speaker. Rat Shack pillow speakers suck and they where $20. We picked up these for like...

hey thanks Tom

Not to hijack this thread, but I figure this relates directly... I remember a thread from a while back where a woman was buying her husband hi-end IEMs and someone mentioned one with a "push to listen" button so they would not have to take them out to listen to someone talking to them...

Abe's is OK.... just a bit slimy. Here's the deal on them and many of the other NYC type electronic houses... They won't steal your money. And they won't outright lie to you over something major.... Will they fib? Sure! -- High pressure sales? Absolutely. -- Will they take advantage of...

Suggestion #1 is get a Mac. OK so you don't like that. Are you feeling brave? Quote: Originally Posted by Triskozko Yes! I am feeling brave. OH, you answered that already. If you've feeling brave, submerge the whole thing in vegetable oil. No. I'm not joking. Use...

Well, you asked for information not a testimonial but.... I have a fair amount of hearing loss... I'm a 40 year old male who used to race cars, shoot 100 rounds a day+ and listen to Zeppelin really loud... You do the math. Anyway, I have a $70 DAP from RS that has better SQ than my...

Good post RedLeader I'm not going to be buying one any time soon but it was fun to read and informative. And who can ask for anything more?

I let this thread die a few days ago, but this reply was so silly, I felt compelled to reply if only because some newbie might read it and believe it.... Quote: Originally Posted by Audiofiler Kind of sad is this thread....as elephas has already eluded to a very good point..There is...

Idiotic fanboyism aside... When half the existing desktops don't have enough horsepower to run Vista, how the heck is a DAP going to? Use yer brain folks.

BTW- I'm the wrong guy to ask about flawed medical imaging. I'll PM you the details if you care but my wife was basically told she was going to die and had surgery that she didn't need do to flawed medical imaging. And the machines they used on her were work working just fine at the time. :-/
