Saved myself $1000
IMO very often companies intentionally make less-expensive products sound worse than they normally would to encourage people to buy pricier items, which didn’t seem to be the case with this particular Android phone.- andyshedd

Saved myself $1000
I got a free (NuuMobile) Android phone last summer and after loading it with some well-recorded (Chick Corea Elektric Band) mp3s and the Sound ID app, was *very* impressed with the sound quality. It had a headphone out jack and I used some 50 dollar Sony earbuds (mdr-xb50ap) that were supported...- andyshedd

The unit is in good shape. I had noticed a (very) slight “ticking” noise when adjusting the volume, and wasn’t going to sell it, but I noticed the same with my brand new K5Pro ESS so it might be normal for this kind of volume control. Price includes shipping.- andyshedd

Sony D-EJ011: A in-depth review
I've had 3 EJ-011's and I've been happy with them (apart from their relatively short life-span). One thing I've noticed: the sound quality with no Megabass enabled is quite thin. Megabass SND1 seems to bring the sound quality up to normal, and SND 2 gives a nice effect, especially with my...- andyshedd

Sony PCDP ?
I'm just into my second Sony D-EJ011. I can't find any fault with the sound quality. If you're worried about the demise of PCDPs I'd pick up a few. Can be found for +/- 30 dollars- andyshedd

Hearing loss (important advice!)
Several years ago I had read somewhere on the 'net an article about preventing hearing loss. The advice was (to paraphrase) when you started to feel a slight discomfort while listening to music (usually from headphone use) or any type of aural fatigue you should stop listening for 3 days to...- andyshedd

Sony portables and MPEG-4 Audio
I just wanted to share my experiences with my Sony NWZ-S544. I have Winamp Pro and after experimenting with the different formats I discovered that the Sony will (seemingly) play just about any MP4 file out there. I doesn't officially support it, the file won't load using the bundled Sony...- andyshedd

Scammer: TRL (Tube Research Labs) / Paul Weitzel
Sorry to see such a nice guy as Paul getting skewered like this. I sent my Sony SACD player to him because the redbook playback seemed harsh to my ears, and I was blown away when I got it back. I saw a review in audio asylum that said the same thing as i experienced. Mind you, I read the review...- andyshedd

Scammer: TRL (Tube Research Labs) / Paul Weitzel
I've had both my Sony SCD-CE595 SACD player and STR-DG500 receiver modded by TRL and I am very, very happy with the results for both units. I firmly believe all the "so-called" hype about his mods and my experience is that he is very friendly and patient regarding business matters. I did...- andyshedd

ultimate lossy compression
Just a warning... i won't be checking back on replies to this one frequently. I just wanted to share my recent experience with compression formats. I had some cds that sounded a bit harsh; i.e. causing aural fatigue when listening to them. I tried converting them to mpc using foobar2000 using...- andyshedd
