    Can Lossless Files be Shrunk?

    I'd like to move my collection to an iPhone SE, 64g.  Problem is my stuff has all been ripped lossless and takes up a lot of room. I def won't need the SQ of lossless with an iPhone using Bluetooth and can get away with a format that takes up less room.  Is this possible?

    UE Conversion to Bluetooth?

    I have an older (2007) set of UE10 Pros that I'm hoping to convert to Bluetooth. I believe there is a company called Lear(?) that may make a conversion setup but not sure how well it works or if it even exists.  Any help in making this happen would be appreciated!

    WTB a pair (2) of caps for a DIY LOD...prefer the classic Black Gate NX-Hi-Q 6.3v x 47uf, but if you have anything interesting you may have bought extras of let me know. Not sure if this should be in the Buy/Sell section but there's no real place for it.

    UE10 Pro Replacement Cable?

    Any suggestions for the best replacement cable  (in terms of sound) for these IEMs?   There are a gazillion cables out there for IEMs, but the UE10 Pros are a very analytical IEM so a bit of softness and coloring might be the ticket with these, so any suggestions appreciated, esp of you have...

    Larocco PRII

    I have one of these (#165) I bought several years ago but haven't used it since about 2009. I recently op-checked it to make sure everything works because I wanted to sell it, and it wouldn't power up. I tried a couple sets of new batteries, I checked all the connections, I tried plugging it...

    iMod Dock-something nice in wood?

    I'm putting the piggybacked OIMP 6.8/Teflon .01 V-caps from a portable rig into a home rig for the iMod as, I swear to god, I got too much hassle when going thru airports!! Looked like a bomb, I guess. Anyway, I'll be using silver wire and Eichmann Ag bullets but I need a nice stand/dock to...

    Barenaked V-caps....

    To me, the nicest thing about DIY is being able to put together rigs you'd never spend the money on otherwise. In this case, a v-cap connector; no way could I consider dropping the coin on commercially available setups, you get the dock then have to get two interconnects, just too much for me to...

    Which Sonic/V-Cap?

    Looking to fab a v-cap dock for my 5.5G iMod. I figure I can do the work, but don't know which components to use. With so many options for the V-cap or Sonic cap (which I'll probably be using because of the price), which is the best for my application? 5.5G iMod to a PRII to UE10s. Any...

    Portable Amp for UE-10s w/variable bass

    Yo all- My rig is in my sig (well, except the 60g 4G iMod is currently morphing into a 80g 5.5G iMod with Vinnie's help after my 4G crashed and burned several times and we got tired of sending it back and forth). I was initally caught up in the hype of the UE-11 (What am I missing? Do I...

    E4C/iPod Bitrate

    Based on replies to a question I asked on another thread (thanks to all who responded!), I just ordered some E4Cs which will be used straight outta the headphone jack of a stock 5G 30g iPod. This'll be my wife's rig. Realizing this isn't going to be the best source for SQ, what bitrate have...

    SuperFi Pros/E4cs too much for a stock iPod?

    I'm getting the SO a 5G iPod for her b'day, and am in the process of shopping IEMs. I'm looking toward SuperFi Pro's or Shure E4c's, both ~$175 shipped, or maybe a bit less if I get them used off the marketplace. Then I started to wonder: am I overkilling the capacity of the iPod to...

    iMod External Battery

    Howdy all- Is the BTI IP-V01 the correct external battery for the 4G 60g iMod? They have another one, the IP-B02 which appears to be the same, but evidently not. Is ib2cool.com the cheapest place to get it? Anybody know any coupon codes to get it cheaper from ib2cool.com...

    Portble for Voice Recordings

    First of all, I'm perfectly happy with my iMod, Tomahawk, and UE-10s, but I need to get another portable for my wife, who primarily listens to voice recordings (kinda like books on tape) and soft, New-Agey music. I'm looking for a high capacity (at least 30g) small portable, and would prefer...

    I'm breaking in the new iMod and in doing so trying to figure a few things out. One being this: Is it possible to shuffle songs within a playlist?? I'd like to be able to shuffle, but every time I try it shuffles all the music that's been downloaded, including playlists, albums, etc...

    iMod/Tomahawk Portable Case

    Are there any armband covers/cases that will fit a 4G Redwine iPod and a Tomahawk? I'm looking for a setup I can use on the bike. The outside road/MTB bike, not an indoor trainer. Yeah, it's kinda bulky, but it sounds so good with UE-10s!

    Lossless from CDs to iPod??

    Greetings- Apologies for asking a question that may be answered somewhere else, but I've searched the forums and can't find the specifics. I've got an iMod on the way, and I want to rip some CDs onto it with the best possible SQ, which I assume is ALAC. I'll have the iMod, CDs, a HP...

    UE-10 Pro et al

    I'd appreciate a little feedback from those who have used molded IEMs such as the UE-10 as well as others in terms of how the fit/comfort compares to the nonmolded types. I'm attempting to get one headphone setup that can do it all, (I realize that can't be accomplished without compromise)...

    XM Radio?

    Greetings experts- Is it possible to use XM radio as a decent source? Is there a way to decompress the signal, or maybe hook the XM directly to a headphone amp, or...? I'm starting with a set of AKG 701s and will be building from there, so I have no amp or anything else yet, but I'm a...
