    Fix minor speaker rattle

    Have a set of Rogers DB101. There's a tiny bit of rattle coming from the cone.. stops when I flex the driver a bit, or lightly place my hand on the center.   What's the best way to fix this? The cups don't attach to the cones, so I think it's just rubbing against it a bit from vibration and...

    Cheap but good clean sounding Preamp?

    Well this forum sure has become rather unhelpful. I remember a time when I'd get plenty of posts with helpful suggestions.   Guess I'll stick to my own sleuthing with Google and find something myself.   I might just order a Line5 A460 amp and use that instead. It's only $43 shipped, and will...

    Cheap but good clean sounding Preamp?

    I picked up a pair of Rogers DB101 from Value Village last week for $20. Great score, right? lol   Anyway, I'm a fan of repurposing things, so I thought I'd make a little desktop stereo for my computer. I have a crate of a few old car stereos, so I hooked one up to a 12V 1A power supply I had...

    The Dash - Wireless Smart In-Ear Headphones

    Anybody see this yet?   They look incredible. I WISH I had the money to get in on the $199 price. I just hope my financial situation has improved by the time these hit the market.   Anyway, they're on Kickstarter right now, and man these things are rocking quite a list of features!   Check...

    Jaybird Bluebuds X still the best bluetooth earphones? Who has the best price?

      So I have these now. I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised how good they sound. They can handle every genre I've tried so far, unlike the cheap POS Philips that were pretty much diarrhea for my ears. SO nice to have nice sounding buds again.   I'm still trying to get the best...

    Jaybird Bluebuds X still the best bluetooth earphones? Who has the best price?

    What's the general consensus on the Jaybird Bluebuds? Are they still considered the best sounding in-ear bluetooth earphones?   Anyone know who has the best price for them?

    Philips SHE3580 IEM review--how can something sound so good for $10???

    Thought I'd try these with foam tips, hoping the sound would improve. It did not.

    Yamaha EPH-100

      Yeah, I wanted to try those after I tried the Copper Pros (which I didn't care for the sound at all).. read that the Miles Davis version were possibly more to my liking. The price sure has come down on them!

    Yamaha EPH-100

      I think I might like them... but I'd go for the limited edition ones for that extra bass and nice housing color.

    Yamaha EPH-100

      lol, been there, done that. That's why the right earpiece eventually sustained quite a bit of physical damage.. me banging the crap out of it trying to get the driver to start working again. Bottom line is either there's an inherent defect in the design, or a batch of defective units.

    Yamaha EPH-100

    Thanks, but I'm an IEM kinda guy... only time I use over ear headphones is at home, while watching movies on my computer.

    Yamaha EPH-100

      So just What is with these and the right earpiece crapping out? Mine had the same thing happen. Honestly, I don't care that they have a lifetime warranty, I'll never buy them again, no matter how great I thought they sounded after proper burn-in. Not worth the hassle and aggravation.   I...

    Yamaha EPH-100

      Ah, sorry... misread his post. Do the Shures sound similar to the Yamahas? So many mixed reviews on them.   Hard to know if I'd like them considering you mention the Klipsch X10, and I HATED those things.. my god, I hated them. Way too bright for my ears.

    Philips SHE3580 IEM review--how can something sound so good for $10???

      Ok, but I didn't say SHH. I have the SHE3575 (has mic) and the SHE3590 (no mic).   Anyway, these are ok(ish) for electronic music (and maybe hiphop? i dunno, don't listen to it), but they absolutely SUCK for any kind of rock or metal. They exaggerate snare drums and guitars to the point...

    Philips SHE3580 IEM review--how can something sound so good for $10???

    So I mistakenly ordered the ones with an inline mic/control, thinking they'd be the same. Model SHE3575. Well, I wasn't all that impressed. A little bit sibilant and upper mids are too forward. Soundstage is also quite small, though sub bass extension was pretty nice.. overall though, not an...

    They're the same price as the Yamahas. Nowhere near $40.

    VSonic VSD1 or NuForce NE-700 or Zero Audio Carbo Basso?

    Thanks and good luck to you on your search as well. The Yamahas I found improved a lot from burn-in, though I know some people don't believe in it, I listened to them new out of the box, then left music playing for a few days before listening to them again, and the sound was much better after...

    VSonic VSD1 or NuForce NE-700 or Zero Audio Carbo Basso?

    Yeah, that's my problem with treble as well. I prefer smooth/laid back/warm/dark upper mids and highs... anything even remotely forward, I can't stand. Anything that can be described as "sparkly" or "crisp" means I'll hate it.   This is why I loved the sound of my Yamaha EPH100.. but I...

    VSonic VSD1 or NuForce NE-700 or Zero Audio Carbo Basso?

    Thank you for the feedback. If you happen to get the VSD1, please post your thoughts on them vs the Sonys.   I'm still searching for a set of the Sonys, as I really think I'll be happy with them.. so far, no luck finding them though.   Are the controls on the Sonys noticeably heavy, do they...

    Philips SHE3580 IEM review--how can something sound so good for $10???

    Anyone know if foam tips would round out the treble a bit? I'm finding the upper range just a tad too bright.

    VSonic VSD1 or NuForce NE-700 or Zero Audio Carbo Basso?

    My favorite IEMs to date have been the Westone UM3X and Yamaha EPH100.   I love bass, but prefer sub-bass over mid bass. I prefer neutral midrange, I find forward midrange to be 'blaring' and obnoxious, especially when I listen to metal in the gym. I prefer laid back highs. Anything that can...
