    Flac to MP3

    DBPoweramp. It also gives me the option if I want FLAC to ALAC.

    Edition 8 - my first hands on impression

    Yeah they look solid, durability wise. I hope that leather will stand the test of time, though. No doubt in my mind this pair will be on the best sounding portable arena (except for those who wont care much for the S-logic flavor). But for those talking about the HD800 vs E8 argument, I...

    What to you think is the best LOOKING IEM?

    Not when held in hand but when being worn, the version2 of Super5 gets my vote. As for being worn cable down like normal buds, the CK7. Also without the subject of SQ and despite not being an IEM, the A8 really looks awesome when worn. You'll get teenagers' heads turning towards you with those.

    Which would sound better? A Cowon S9, or an iPod touch+amp

    W3 NOT as detailed as I observed: brush drums strokes

    Today I noticed that on some recordings, the W3 seems to do fairly well with microdetails. But I'm still not too satisfied with most jazz pieces. It seems like there's a cloth over the background instruments. Does anybody else have thoughts on this matter?

    W3 NOT as detailed as I observed: brush drums strokes

    Have. I'm one of the lucky ones to get good seal out of the included grey silicones and comply tips. I also bought the Shure Olives, more triple flanges to mod and the Jays clear silicones for the W3 to play with. I love the way the Jays present the trebles most. Now listening to Elgar's...

    W3 NOT as detailed as I observed: brush drums strokes

    IMHO, this is where most warm IEMs fail. In acoustic and jazz music, one test I always use to see how detailed and clear a set of cans are, is being able to clearly discern how the metal brushes hit the snare drums (mostly in the background of quiet passages). With the W3, seems like this isn’t...

    Experimentation with the Westone 3

    Color me crazy but after experimenting with the iPods EQ settings (4G, 1Gtouch, 2Gtouch, 4Gnano), the W3 is a totally amusing animal. It's been well known that the iPod's EQ distorts the sound of most IEMs and portable headphones out there. Funny about the W3 though is that it welcomes the EQ...
