I've had it with these IM716's. I got them on some deal for $34 on buy.com a couple of years ago as my first step up from apple OEM buds, I've never liked them, and I want something better. Again, I do not want to have to mess with an amp and I need isolation. Noise bleed is already a problem...

Can't speak for USB, but as between optical and coax, coax is usually better. S/PDIF is the shorthand reference to the interface for both optical and coax. As someone has already mentioned, the problem with optical is jitter. There are companies that did a fair job of improving optical...

When I asked this question, like 50 people answered and told me to go to Northern Sound and Light, which is what I did. I paid $244.42 for them back in May. They want $250 for them now, which still looks like a decent price for them. Shipping from Pennsylvania to Dallas where I am located is...

Review of these two phones in my sig.

I just pressed play on my song list and covered them with a towel while I was away.

Alright, what the hell, I'm in. I was all excited about $37.50, but they won't let you use the 5% coupon and get $10 off for checking out with Google. Such a pisser. Total cost was $39.99, shipped.

How bad are the IM716's without an amp? A search of the forums indicates that they aren't very good without amping. Can anyone comment on this? I'd love to buy a set of these, but not if they aren't going to work without having to boost the signal. Also, if they aren't good with an amp, can any...

I went duck hunting.

Here's a link to the HGA on sale wire: http://www.homegrownaudio.com/hga/newlistproduct.php Identical to the wire that they use for their Silver Lace cables except the Silver Lace has 12 mils teflon coating and this has 8 mils. HGA wire is really really good wire. I have my main system...

Not as good as the Illuminati D-60 I just sold, but then the D-60 is a reference quality cable that costs about 10 times as much as the Digiflex Gold I.

This has to be a gag.

That AC/DC video is greatness.....Bon Scott was just incredible. Check out the '77 Let There Be Rock and '78 Sin City videos that are on there as well. I'll tell you what was wrong with disco was all that hand clapping. What the heck is up with that? That Anita Ward video is nonstop dorks...
