Hi, I didn't know to which forum to post this question. I'm in NYC, but am buying a SR71A from UK. Would either the US or UK impose custom fees/taxes on this, even though it's not a new product? If so, how do I minimize such fees? Would I declare a lesser value to do so? Thanks for your help...

Hi, looking to find a hard drive replacement for 5.5G iPod, for bigger storage. Can you recommend particular models which will work? I heard there is a Toshiba PATA drive that is 240GB... wonder if this works? Thanks, guys.

Hi, how many of you are using Lisa III with your DAP? If so, is there an effective case to carry the combo? Wouldn't want to just throw them into a backpack w/o protective cover... thanks, y'all.

Let's say you have an office in a law firm. And you have 3 limitations: 1. You can't use the office computer b/c it's basically on the lockdown. (But you can have a laptop, but no wifi). 2. You have to use open cans because you can't seal off outside noise. 3. You have limited space on...

Maybe I'm just inept when it comes to search functions, but couldn't find much at all on the Yoshino HP-4. I've got to believe that at least some of you own this amp, or have at least auditioned it, and I would very much appreciate your input. Please comment with headphone synergy in mind; I...

In my other thread asking for help picking a DAP, someone had mentioned Rio Karma as a possibility. I've been reading a LOT of fantastic reports on this player, but I can't help but be skeptical a bit. Can this old player really sound better than these newer players? (Deep inside, I'm hoping...

Hi. I'm looking for a DAP that would play FLAC files w/ true line-out. The more portable, the better. If no FLAC capabilities, I can just go WAV, too. But smaller the better... thanks!

Hi. I've been using Senn PXC-450s exclusively for all outdoor/portable use & AKG 701s for in-home use. I just used the Senns directly with my iPod, but am now thinking about proper amping to get the most out of these cans. The impedance is very high for these headphones: 150/750 ohms. Can...

Does anyone have experience using E-Mu 0404 external model as source? Thanks.

So I got Sennheiser PXC450 headphones as a X-mas gift (I don't think I could have spent $450 on noise-canceling phones myself.) I didn't open them until this morning, because I was going to sell them, thinking that there was no way that I can use these as my portable cans. I already have a...

Anyone know where in Manhattan I can audition DAPs with my headphones? I have Sennheiser PXC450, which I need to actually test w/ various DAPs to see if they're compatible. (Yes, yes, I know I can get the best sound out of the cans using an amp, but I'd rather go amp-less, moving about in NYC.)...

I have Sennheiser PXC450, which are rated at 150 ohms. I was wondering if there are any players out there that have high-enough outputs to drive these w/o amps? I've been told that Cowon D2 might, but I don't really care for its sound... If I can't find any players, I will end up selling...

Hi guys. I have a set of Sennheiser PXC450 on the way, thinking that I could perhaps use it with a DAP. The thing is, I really don't want to set it up with a portable amp. Can PXC450 work with any DAP w/o external amping? I'd appreciate a quick reply from someone (anyone!) as I'm going to return...

Hi. I'm expecting Sennheiser PXC450 to arrive in the mail any day now, and I was wondering if you can recommend some good mp3 players that might drive these cans. I hope not to use portable amps. Thank you!

I'm about to pick up a 6 month-old Heed Canamp for $325. The guy says he barely used it & it seems to be in a near-mint condition. I'm thinking about jumping on it, but I didn't know if this is a fair deal, as I don't even know the going retail price...

So this may be a stupid question, I realize, comparing a standalone model w/ the portable. But I'd like to decide between these two amps. I just bought AKG K701 & Sennheiser PXC450. I intend to use a headphone amp inside but am not really set on using it outside (although with the Pico, I'll...

Hi, guys. Just purchased two new headphones, AKG K701 and Sennheiser PXC 450. Before this I never owned headphones, just earbuds: Audio Technica ATH CK7. I'll be using Leben CS600, but I'll have the amp in April/May, and am looking for a headphone amp to use in the meantime. I'd like to...

Hi, guys. I'm purchasing a Leben CS600 in two months, and I wanted your input on which headphones I should look into. Shamefully enough, I don't have any proper headphones except for the Audio-Technica ATH-CK7 I use with my old-ass iPod. I haven't been really listening to much music through...

Hi. I'm thinking of building a quiet PC with either Lynx 22 or Echo Gina3G, to run directly to an integrated amp (either Pathos Classic MK III or Leben CS600), without running 1st to an external DAC. If you guys would please chime in on this course of action, I'd much appreciate it. (Originally...
