I have owned a NuForce Icon Mobile since just after they came out. I used it for a while pretty faithfully until I spent a lot of time and effort on my home 2-channel system. I just recently started using it again and the USB DAC portion is no longer functional but it still functions as a...

I found the sticky about EQing while I was at work and was able to get my two main headphones equalized on my work computer, which was a PC. Now that I'm on my home computer (iMac), I have no idea where to look for programs that provide the same type of in-line parametric EQing, let alone...

I hooked up my Icon Mobile to let it burn in while I was at lunch only to come back and find it putting a loud popping noise through my headphones. I had the amp hooked up to USB for charging but was using my iPod as the source. I had forgotten that my computer goes into sleep-mode after 15...

I was lucky enough to pick up the last pair of SCL4s that Guitar Center had in the district around where I live (Des Moines, IA). It took me a while to figure out which tips worked best and I actually ended up not using any of the Shure tips, but rather a pair of the Etymotic large double-flange...

I'm running Windows Media on my work computer and I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on how to get the best performance out of both the player and the system in general. At this point in time I'm still using headphone outputs from the computer with no amp or USB DAC or anything. I...

I picked them up yesterday as something to get me by while my Etymotics are out of commission and I can't really see what the hate is about. Obviously they aren't burned in but, honestly, are they going to turn into a steaming pile of dung (as some around here would categorize them) over the...

I'm building CMoys for myself and a friend. My friend has a pair of old Sennheiser HD560's (not 650's, unfortunately) and I wanted to modify the gain to better drive his cans. Short of just swapping resistors in and out until we find a gain we like for them does anybody know around what value I...

This is my first pair of IEMs so it might be a noob mistake but I can't seem to get these things to seal exactly the same way in both ears every time on the first try. I always pull up on my ear and push them in until they are in as far as they will comfortably go then let go of my ear. They...

I just changed the filters in my ER-6i's and now am experiencing a bit of distortion in the left channel. I regularly clean the tips (soft rubber) and nozzle so I'm wondering if it could possibly be some debris the got into the enclosure while I was replacing the filters. Should I try replacing...
