Looking at getting another dedicated DAP, curious if the ipod gens are less crucial (i.e. gen 5 video) now that we have more portable DACs? Also, would it be better to bypass all of that and look at the ibasso player with an amp?

So I've been selling off old gear and miscellaneous whatevers to fund upgrading and what not. So far I sold my thinkpad and moved to a macbook, (due to size and battery life) I also picked up a 24inch external monitor, it's lovely, but I maybe feeling buyers remorse, we'll see, I'll give it a...

I've decided to go with the JH audios, leaning towards the 13s over the 16s, I was wondering if anybody used the ambient tube option? How does it affect the sound? Pros/Cons or is it something exclusively used for live performances? Thanks, Len

I still have a few items to offload, but, I'm settled on getting some JHA IEMs, somewhere between the x10pros - the 16s, whichever seems like the better buy. I figure since customs will be hard to offload, resell, is less likely. Go for the gusto. I'll see how the reviews compare between the 13...

I'm a photo/art student for the next couple of years, most of the schools seem to be mac based. I'll be selling my Lenovo and moving to Apple for all practical purposes. Modbooks are on sale and vs. a MBP 13 with Wacom it's semi close, just wanted some outside opinion on this.

I'm currently in the process of sorting through my belongings and getting rid of, selling, giving away items that I will not be needing/wanting for the next 2-3 years left of school I may have. One because I can raise funds to get better, and less gear. Two, moving with all this crap, begins to...

Currently liking the T400, sort of miss the MBP because of the audio aspect and the whole "industry standard" issue. I'll probably also have to move to mac when I transfer to a 4 year art school. I did run across a "modbook", I saw these a few years ago, and thought they were out of budget...

So, I recently purchaseds a Lenovo T400, almost fully maxxed out. 2.8 dual core, 2gb (soon to be 4) RAM, 500GB HDD, "high nit" screen (you can use it outdoors) way durable. An understated black exterior, drain holes in the keyboard, WiMax, cell phone card doodad, UWB if I want or Turbo Memory...

I'm looking maybe doing some camping in a week and wanted to buy a water purifier. They have one from Katadyn that is a water bottle. Seemed to have what I'm looking for. Just wondering if it would be good enough to endure some of the sometimes gnarly water of Florida/Georgia. My goal is weight...

I've liquid cooled computers several times, I've never done a sff one before. I'm shooting to do 100% internal and more importantly effective to overclock an extreme edition quad core. The case I'm working with is a fragbox DIY, it's based off the SUGO (silverstone SG01,) it's a smidge of a...

I ordered some colored inserts for the illuminated logo. I have the "rainbow" (original mac logo) leopard or tiger print. So far the original looks best. But I'm curious if I can pull it off and still be secure enough in my manhood. Suggestions? Experiences? Examples of your own? (I just...

Search Dell.com it could be canceled, I guess this was on several other forums, but if they honor it, I'm going to make out with 3TB of storage for about 170 bucks. Which would be amazing, if not, my order will get cancelled and I'll buy something at cost with TigerDirect.

I'm looking at getting an entry level turntable, like the project debut, I also want to rip records to my computer. Is it better to rip analog, or spend the extra clams and get the usb version? Does anybody have any insight on either the products or ripping via usb?

If you work in an electronics/computer store, check to see if you qualify for the Retail Edge offered by Intel. It's only open towards the end of the year and all you do is go online and answer some quizzes and what not. I just purchased and received a 2.4Ghz quad-core, DG33TL motherboard and...
