I thought I had damaged them by using them while riding a motorcycle but last week I found them in a cabinet where I placed them years ago: Panasonic EAH-Z70 2-way bass ported earbuds. I guess I was wrong: they still work great! I guess I damaged the player and not the cans because they have...

I am looking for other's opinions, or is it just me - do the new exhibits at the Bronx Zoo sux? It feels like "animals for the TV generation". Everything is now behind glass - you are completely and utterly walled off. No sounds, no smells...nothing. I can get more excited watching the...

All the photo enthusiasts out there, have you been keeping up? Nikon announced they will discontinue production of all film cameras except the F6, ending 60 years of film camera production. They will also be ending production of all manual focus lenses (except 1 model) and ending enlarger &...

Hello fellow riders and canalphone users! I have some questions. Have any riders tried any of the helmet speakers? How are they with foam earplugs? The main question is should I use canalphones (the Shures probably; the added warmth will overcome wind roar) or helmet speakers. My two...

One of my bosses is currently in an Asian country (his second home). Recently he suffered from from serious health problems (but not "life threatening"), and had to go into the emergency room 3 times. After tests it was decided that surgery was the only option, relatively short notice. The...

Hello all I am hoping someone may be able to help me in solving this many-year quest of mine. I am looking for a version of Rhapsody in Blue, played Jazz. I came into this quest for a number of years ago I saw, on a late-night PBS broadcast, the movie The George Gerswhin Story. The final...

Nice one, Rick. Have some time on your hands tonight??

Hi guys (and gals). Do you mind if I ask a question? I have Stax SR-Lambda Pro's. Quite a while ago I sent them, and the amp (SRA-14S), to be repaired. When they came back one side of the headphone's drivers were replaced and the amp repaired; however, it seemed that the side-to-side balance...

Well, it's 2:11AM and I've just finished putting my home back together again. Why? If you've dropped into the "recommend me a high end interconnect" thread I mentioned that I have the worst humming system imaginable (probably the system is just way too complicated. Ask me one day). I've been...
