    stereo channel separation/ crossfeed issue on Android Player

    Hi guys, I noticed that when playing some songs on my Android mobile phone (LG P500), the channel separation was extreme; meaning that the left and right channel are totally different and it creates quite a headache. But when playing them on my laptop with Mediamonkey the separation was...

    IEM/ portables cable ruined at the strain relief + other recommendations

    I have had two IEMs (Fischer Audio Eterna and Silver Bullet), both broke down at some point in their lives- you know, that moment when you had to hold the strain relief at a certain angle, you know it will start to die down until the point where any signal couldn't pass.   I also own an ES7...

    blues fans check these guys out. My (local) heroes.

    Being an Indonesian, I guess I'm blessed to be able to enjoy these guys around. In my opinion, our music scene is quite happening- there are just a lot of variety and people trying different things. By my own observation, I felt that in some ways the blues and jazz connect to us quite easily...

    What's with the sudden M50 craze?

    Guys! I wasn't around for a moment and suddenly every thread here has a M50 recommendation in it. Would anyone bother to fill me in? Just for fun. M50 is a good phone anyways.

    so what's Black Crowes' best live performance?

    I really like this band, but their materials here are very scarce and hence, expensive. If I limit my purchase to only one live album, be it a CD or DVD, which one is recommended? Sometimes a band's best live album is not on the CD release- example being Red Hot Chili Peppers.

    What's your favorite rendition of "Love in Vain Blues"?

    I am currently addicted to this song. Such beautiful composition being written in 1930s is just amazing compared to so much crap being written nowadays. In my opinion, though, Peter Green performs this number the best. How about you guys?

    any info regarding the PX-100 II's sound quality? Saw one here, boxed (rant)

    Okay I want to gather info regarding this headphone's worldwide price- anybody own them yet? Here in Singapore, I think lower end Sennheisers are grossly priced (I think I made a thread regarding this a year ago). The older PX100 are sold here for 80-90 Singapore dollars, which...

    most demanding to least demanding genres?

    Most demanding gotta be classical, no? More interesting should be the least demanding: I observe that there are actually genres that don't have much substance.... For example, bubblegum pop with its fake autotuned vocals, fake bass and effects. And then also boyband music and smooth jazz...

    Adcom GTP-500 headphone out good enough?

    As the thread title says, I have an Adcom GTP-500 preamp coming, which I am planning to use as a desktop amp. How good is it compared to other headphone amps? At which level will you rank them? Will it be able to drive a HD600 well?

    Just not that moved by Clapton...?

    Call it youth or something... I've had many Clapton CDs, the Rainbow Concert, One More Car One More Rider, Unplugged, Chronicles, Clapton & Winwood... The songs are good, performances are good, but really... they are boring and after two or three listens I almost never listen to them anymore...

    Shine a light on me: SRH840 vs HD600 (used) vs SR325 (used)

    Here I guess I can get those cans for similar price. Well, I have tried all three of them but I am still reluctant to make a decision yet. First of all, I tried the HD600 out of an IQube v2, I don't know whether it is good enough for it. I will be using a preamp's headphone out for my...

    portable, closed, cheap, COMFY, decent SQ, limited choices eh?

    I don't know why, seems like this particular specifications are the hardest to nail on. ATH-ESW9 fulfilled everything but being cheap (I'm going to recommend this to my friend who is a casual listener, something below US$70 I guess) ATH-ES7 is cheaper but still out of budget and not that...

    Why can Mick Jagger sing well no more?

    Being a 20 yr old se asian, one of my dreams is to witness the Stones live before either me or them died. Of course my passion for Zep is higher but it seems that there is almost no chance watching them live. Yet, watching the recent live dvds of them turns me off- Sir Mick can't sing without...

    anybody tried recabling using HD650 cable?

    I am planning to do this to my ES7. Is it worth it? Is it easy enough to do? I just need to cut off the senn plugs and solder the two cables into each driver right? (Or install plugs to my ES7) I made this an option because locally headphone cables are very hard to come by, but there is a store...

    your favorite robert plant vocal bits?

    This man is really a legend IMO. I used to dislike the apparent thinness and high-pitched singing, but I guess the former is because of the lack of good source and equipment back in the day. I really appreciate him and his attitude even after Zeppelin disbanded. Vocal bits that I like: -...
