    Echo Indigo won't fit in my new IBM ThinkPad -- but which is the problem?

    So I tried putting my Echo Indigo card in my new IBM ThinkPad but ran into a small problem--it won't go in all the way. It needs about another 1/2 centimeter for the computer to know it's there. Funny thing is, it fits into my old computer just fine, so I'm not sure if this is a freak thing with...

    Sennheiser 580 v. 595

    A little while back I went from the 555 to the 580s. I like them both. But I feel like I'm not getting much bass with the 580s. Before you ask, I do have them amped, with a Perreaux. Would the 595s be better for me? I listen to mostly rock and some jazz. Thanks for the advice.

    What's wrong with my Perreaux?

    Often times the left channel will cut out, and I couldn't figure out what the culprit was until just now. It's, somehow, the volume knob. If I push it or turn it, or even touch it, the channel will start to cut out. If I leave it alone once it's right it'll be okay, but I have to fiddle a little...

    Why is there practically no difference between my Perreaux and receiver out?

    I got my Perreaux SHX 0.5 yesterday, and hooked her up to the line out on my receiver. Sounds good, but after A/B'ing it with the regular phone jack on the receiver, there's pretty much no difference to my ears. If it is, it's extremely slight. What am I missing? I feel like it's not worth it to...

    Does swapping the 650 cable in the 580 make a big difference?

    I've been reading about this swap and some say it makes a big difference. Added bass response, and a more "lush" sound. Has anybody else tried it and if so, what do you think?

    Need amp recommendations for HD-580

    I have a Go-Vibe now and it just isn't cutting it for me. I've tried both the OPA2227 and AD8620. I prefer the 2227 but overall I'm just not very pleased, so I want to move up the ladder. Looking to spend about $150. I want something warm, tube-like, and smooth. I don't want even slight...

    HD-580s slightly bright before burn-in?

    That's what I'm experiencing now as I just got them. Can I expect them to mellow out a little?

    HD-580 matched with Headsave Go-Vibe--will it work well?

    I'm on the brink of buying 580s and the only headphone amp I have is a Headsave Go-Vibe with the standard opamp (can't remember the name). Is it enough power? How will they be together? Thanks.

    Upgradeitis from my HD-555's -- recommendations please

    Basically, I was very happy with my HD-555s for a while. Then I got a speaker system (some sweet and inexpensive vintage AR-4x) and didn't listen to the phones for a while. I did yesterday and became disappointed. I can now hear the graininess others were talking about. I'd like to upgrade. I...

    How do I disable iTunes from starting when I plug my iPod into my computer?

    This is driving me NUTS. All I use is Ephpod--I don't want iTunes to start up, ever. I cannot figure out how to disable it from booting (which takes an hour) when I hook up my iPod. I want my computer to do *nothing* except recognize the iPod when I hook it up. Any ideas?

    NAD CD player question

    Hey guys... I have a NAD 521i. What I want to know is the OFF button on the remote, does it put it in standby or does it literally turn the unit off? What is the difference between using the off button on the remote and shutting down the unit via the power button on the unit itself that goes...

    Hd-555 + ipod + what amp?

    Looking to spend no more than about 50 bucks. Would a Mint / Cmoy be good? Basically its not for my main portable set up (thats what my e2's are for), but for times when I'll be away from my home for a while (e.g. vacation) and would like to use my Senns.

    cheap amp advice for HD-555's

    Basically I'm looking to buy a new DVD player (something around $100-$150) and want a headphone amp to be able to hook up my HD-555's to it. I don't need anything fancy. I basically want something under $100 and used is acceptable and preferred, even. What is good?

    help me pick out a laptop soundcard

    I have a pretty new HP machine, running XP, 2.8ghz, all that jazz. Anyway, I'm looking for something to nicely power my headphones (HD-555) as the on-board card really struggles. Also looking for a line out so I can connect to my stereo. Doesn't matter whether its USB or PCI. Budget is ~100-120...

    generic question about source + phones

    I've noticed a lot of people say they have or would like to get a standalone cd player, headphone amp, and headphones. So no real amp or receiver is needed for this setup? Pardon my ignorance, it just seems strange at first. What happens then if you wanted to connect real speakers, the headphone...

    hd555 problem already -- help!

    I can't get sound out of the right channel I've tried it on my mini-system AND my computer, and neither works. Just last night they were working fine. Now, this. Any quick-fix tips? If not, what do I do next? Do I deal with Sennheiser, or do I deal with HeadRoom (ordered them about a...

    ahhh what to upgrade, portable or home?

    I'm driving myself crazy here! I want to upgrade two things. e2c to e3c. And HD497 to HD515. I would really only like to do one...but I guess I could go hog wild If you could upgrade only one of those which would it be?

    What difference does the "fast" setting make, i.e. fast standard vs. standard?

    jump from e2c to e3c -- worth it?

    I'm really debating this (btw I hate you all ). I got the e2c's about a month or so ago used (good deal) and loved them at first. I use them with my iPod. I still like them, don't get me wrong, and am still happy with them, but I have a couple things I wish were better: stronger bass, more...

    is shure e3c a lot better than px-200?

    I'm considering getting e3c's as an upgrade to my e2c's...are they really much better than the Senn px-200? If the extra $100 (on a good day) are really only for the size factor, then I'm not sure if I could justify it.

    what's the deal with the new HD-500?

    This may be what I'm looking for...a more rock-oriented headphone around this price range. Any thoughts or does anyone know more about it? http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite...transid=004588

    e2c -- over the ear or not?

    Getting these things to fit right is NOT the easiest thing to do for me, but also is not impossible. I get the best fit when wearing them in front. When I try to do the suggested way and loop them over my ear I can't get a good seal...yet they seemed aimed the same way. Am I missing something...
