i've had two sets of the KSC-75's. the first pair snapped without much effort. they were also super uncomfortable, so i bought a second set because i liked the sound and thought they'd break in a little bit. i gave the second pair a few months of portable use, and ended up disliking them. they...

I'm in. Will be living just minutes from Irvine, can't wait.

this is some of the best news i've heard in a long time. thanks jude!

i run the panny xr25 to the axiom m3ti's. they sit maybe a meter and a half apart, and i sit two or three feet back. i can touch both speakers, if that counts as nearfield listening. they are decent for this. however, these things really, really blow me away when i crank up the volume. they stay...

at one point i lost the 1212 cable to connect to the daughtercard. i tried to use the floppy cable, seeing as it was the same size with the same pins. the emu didn't make any sound, and i ransacked my room until i found the real cable.

the singlepower amps really bring the best features of the CD3K to life. Mikhail can voice the amp to whatever cans you choose too, which is very, very nice. I've had a PPX3 and an MPX3, and the synergy between both amps and the sonys is just incredible. so fast, so detailed, such presence.

i've never seen a headphone that looked like it sounds as bad as these do. make sense? yes.

someone can ... and someone has.

banana stands are cheaper and much, much better looking than all the wood ones i've seen thus far. only problem that i have with my banana stand (found at bed bath and beyond for under fifteen dollars) is that it isn't heavy enough to allow the headphone cable to be pulled and have a chance and...

1- watch out with that tiny USB key. I had mine on my keychain and it broke (the plastic that goes on the ring itself). 2- why match up ipod shuffle and I5? they're for different things ... he's recording lectures, reading lyrics, looking at a multicolor screen - i can't see how a comparison...

gapless pretty much doesn't occur on flash players. neither does FLAC - unless you want to have 4 albums total on your 2 1 gig removable memory. if you're riding, you prolly won't need an amp either - at least in my opinion. i'm pretty sure the best / cheapest way to get into removable flash is...

just because the CD3K has fallen out of popular favor doesn't mean its a bad can. Many people may think so with the recent slew of poor comparisons, but i really dont think they do the cans justice. What you have is a new FOTM, every month or whatever, and it has to be compared to the old FOTM...

phearful - i'm on pretty much all the time. if you see an away message, just leave one and i'll get back to you asap. brian

they aren't online. send me an instant message (go aim: we do not rock) and i'll send you the zipped drivers folder, which you can easily install from.

this thing is rediculous. the 'gumstick' shape isn't anything new - see the iAudio U2 along with other players. also note that these players have much longer battery life (20 hours on my U2, real world), have LCDs, FM radio, voice recording, etc. does apple have something against building voice...
