Which companies offer higher end upgrade cables with non-insert 2-pin connector option? Don't seem to be many. Thanks for any info.

Anyone brave enough to try the latest HiFiMan HM-602 v0.10 firmware?   http://head-direct.com/News/?act=Detail&id=249   If so... how is it? Improvements? Problems? New features?   Thanks.

  All Canartic albums are now available for listening in their entirety, and available for download in high quality 320k MP3, FLAC and other lossless formats... at Bandcamp.    

A whole lotta trippy, psychedelic, dub, downtempo, chill. A little guitar thrown in along the way. Great headphone music!   New 2010 release by Canartic, "Modulotion" is out now!   

Just curious what kind of volume setting you use on a portable music player when using a headphone amp. For example... I'm using a Zen Vision:M with Westone 3s, and I usually have the volume anywhere from 7 or 8 to 10 or 11... out of a max of 25 on the player... sometimes a little more on audio...

Sent my E500s in for replacement due to one of the rubber cable restraint pieces separated from the earphone. Then while I was packing them... the infamous cracked insulation problem occurred next to the other earphone. Had them about 8-10 months maybe? They were warrantied replacements from...

Orb - "Orbsessions Volume Two" David Torn - "Prezens" Jamie Saft - "Breadcrumb Sins" Byzar - "Gaiatronyk vs The Cheap Robots" Canartic - "Bouncing Radar Beams Off The Moon" ...list more like these?

I always chop the long stem of the Shure version anyway, so I'm thinking I might as well try the...

I know there's a few responses for this, but I wouldn't mind hearing a few more on those who owned E5Cs and compared E500s. I'm seriously thinking of upgrading... but is it really worth it? I love the sound of my E5Cs. I love the big bass, and I guess I've gotten so used to them, the rest of the...

Anybody ever compare the Archos with the Zen? I've got an almost 2 year old Archos Jukebox 20 I'm now using with the Shure E5C phones. The sound is great, with a couple of exceptions... 1) The Archos pretty much does not like files encoded over 192 kbps. I'm using the Rockbox firmware...

OK... I finally did it. I've been using Sony EX71s since I first got my Archos Studio 20 back in Feb '02. I've been pretty happy with them considering the price. They sounded better than I expected for a little portable player. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality. However, once I'd...
