  Yes, I know Bose is considered a joke among audiophiles, but I really love the comfort of these things. Bose is one of the few brands you can actually try on in a store somewhere which is a big advantage IMO. I previously bought the Denon D1000 based on recommendations from this board, but I...

Are there any other tips that fit these things? I find the stock silicon tips to be flimsy and don't really give me a good seal. Just wondering if there are any other tips that fit well and sound good on the j2. thanks.

thanks for the info homers and jyle... i'll give the mediums a shot.

Guess I'll go with the medium unless someone can give me some advice. I hate ordering stuff online when I don't know what size I need.

Thanks. Anyone have thoughts on what size I should get? Or do they sell an assorted sizes pack?

I’ve heard great things about these tips, and I’d like to try them out on my ER6i. I’m currently using the ety large gray 2 flange tips (ER6I-18D) which are a little snug, but I couldn’t get a good seal with the smaller ones or the tri flange. What size shure olives should I get? Ideally, I’d...

Thanks josh. I had already finished the amplifier with the jumpers in the R5 position before I read your response. Is the only purpose of the R5 resistors to quiet noises? I have not noticed any noise with the jumpers. This was my first real electronics project and it was much easier than I...

Thanks for the reply infinitesymphony. Right now the only headphones I have are Denon AH-D1000. What would be the difference in the sound using the optional R5 as opposed to jumpers?

Hi, n00b here putting together my first electronics project. Seems to be going pretty well so far but I have a question. I am using a 1.03 joshatdot board. Do I put a R5 on each side of the board in the "OPT R" and "OPT L" spots? The picture I am going by is an older 1.01 board and I only see...

It connects through the CD changer connection in the trunk though. The connection kit (ipod2car) came with some type of converter box it runs through first though. The ipod also charges while it is plugged in. I guess I'll just order some parts and give it a shot.

I was thinking of making some cables for my new ipod classic... I know Apple has made some changes with this latest version of the ipod and a lot of the older docks and connectors will no longer work. It sounds like they made this change mostly for video output, but my car adapter (that I used...

There are some bugs they still need to work out with the firmware, but overall I am happy with my 80gb Classic. The new Zunes might be worth looking into as well... not sure if they are out yet.

Yeah, I don't want to get too complicated. I really would like to have the auto on/off feature (so I don't have to have an external switch) and an external LED (because it looks cool ). The power supply isn't that big of a deal to me... seems like those really drive the parts cost up. Do you...

Hi, I’m looking to build a portable headphone amp... more for fun/entertainment than anything else. I have a new set of Denon D1000 headphones on the way and I’m not even sure they need to be amped (listening from ipod mostly) but it looks like fun, so I’m going to try it anyways. Anyways...

Has anyone ordered from etronics? Are they good to deal with?

You can still browse your collection without using coverflow. There are some issues with the 1.0.2 firmware... rumor is v1.0.3 will be out within a week so hopefully some of this stuff will be fixed.

I think I have decided on the Denon D1000 for my first non-cheapo headphones. A lot of people are speaking highly of them around here. So where is the best place to buy them? I saw a couple people mention that they can be had for around $100 shipped, but I can't find them that cheap...

Quote: Originally Posted by nosleep AH-D1000s can be had for under a $100 w/out shipping if you google enough. They're supposed to be really comfortable. OK, I'm leaning towards the D1000s but I can't find them cheaper than $125 shipped on ebay. Do you know of a cheaper site...

I stopped by Circuit City tonight and the only ones they had that I could try on were a set of Bose (tri ports maybe?). I know Bose is known for being way overpriced, but these were very comfortable and sounded pretty good. Can anyone recommend something that would fit similar to these. Again...

Is there anywhere I can go to try some of these things on before I just order one online and hope I like them when they arrive? I think Circuit City might have a couple of the Senn. models, but I'm not sure if they are set up to demo.

Another newby here looking for some advice. I have read through tons of threads on here and I am just getting myself more and more confused. Here is what I'm looking for: Cans that fit all the way over my ears (circumaural I think?). I'd like to spend $100 (US) or less.. I could go up to...
