The worst live performance I've ever seen would be Blink 182.  I didn't want to see them but they performed after Weezer whom I only barely wanted to see.  I didn't buy the tickets.   So anyway, I saw Blink 182 a couple years ago and they were god awful.  They're old now, playing songs aimed...

  Quote:   That's good to hear as I just ordered them this morning.  Should be at my door tomorrow or Thursday so I'll see for myself.   I'm still contemplating the GR07 and other mid/high end IEMs but I needed something for this week.   Quote: I've also been looking at the...

I'm looking for some IEMs.  I'd preferably pay under $50, but I'm a bang for buck kinda guy so if something is $100+ but that much better, I would consider it.  I'm currently scratching my chin over the likes of the GR07 and EX600.   I listen to a wide range of music (electronic, indie rock...

Quote: I had the notion that the closer to the source a change is made, the bigger difference one would see in quality.  Since the soundcard comes first in the.. egg relay race, one might call it, I figured it would be best to improve that.

Oh woops, I meant to include that information, but it slipped my mind.  Everything was in FLAC.

I just got this sound card in the mail yesterday and it is my first departure from on board audio.  I must say that I am somewhat disappointed.  I was expecting (hoping for) beautiful crystal clarity, which is not what I received.     I can't say, however, that all is the same, so I will...

Thanks guys.  I ended up buying an ST though, hah (wild card!).  It was $166 on overstock with a coupon I had which is the lowest I've seen it.  Likewise, superbiiz has the DX for $52 AR with coupon code HOLIDAYCHEER.  It was a tough decision, but I find rebates to be a pain and most people said...

I can't stand iTunes.  It's so bad that when I introduced Foobar to my technoob girlfriend, she uninstalled iTunes and stopped using her iPod altogether. She plans on picking up a Cowon player as a replacement.

DG - $33 DS - $49 DX - $72   I just got a set of ATH-M50s and though I see an improvement in sound from my older gaming headset, I feel there must be room for more improvement, given the fact that I'm still on onboard sound.   I've thus been shopping around for sound cards and the...

Even if it has a small plug, it still worries me. If I could use a portable amp, maybe there are other things I could use. I came across this, but it's made for Shure headphones. Anyone aware of something like it? http://www.amazon.com/Shure-EA650-At...&s=electronics

I'm looking to buy an IEM and intend on using it for my Archos AV500 which has a sidemounted phone jack. I assume that having headphones with a straight plug could cause damage to either the plug or the jack when it's in my jean pocket. So I either need a pair of headphones with a right-angle...
