Maybe I'm thinking way too simplisticly about this, and maybe some of our more tech-savvy members can help out, (Tangent ??), but... Shouldn't it be possible to simply jumper around the volume pot in a pcdp that has only a HP-out jack - in order to bypass the cheap factory pot? I realize...

I guess I could sum this up as "nothing ventured nothing gained", and thanks to the advice/hints from my friends at H-F. My panny pcdp, actually a pdvdp, the dvd-pa65, had started to skip badly! It was driving me crazy! Thought it was one cd (EC&BB) w/scratches or something. I polished that...

I was one of the losers... The thing is - it was NOS, in the box, never used before - although how that managed to happen is an intriguing question. btw, "whomever"?

Alright, I've tried to hold out, but my curiosity has really gotten the best of me! You know who you are! @$167+

akira - This has been noted before by templeboy on 3/24/02, thread: "two 'new' tube headphone amps". Replies are complete with translations. The man also does Marshall, (and other), guitar amp mod's. But checking out some guitar/musician-oriented sites, I have found some people very...

Dear "Sniggy" - Aren't those the ones where you simply have to strip away about 1/8" of insulation from around the bottom,(= neg.) end of the battery, (regular AAA/nimh), to enable it to be charged like the offical panny batt's?

Not sure this is altogether the "right " forum for this msg., but this is the forum I go to the MOST, and I want to do someone a favor - (Right! and Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!). Anyway, we're all concerned here about PCDP's, and what does that "cd" stand for?... There has been a...

zeplin - So sorry to hear about your accident; now I'm getting nervous! Please check out the thread: "I broke my Ety 4 - Please Help !!!" by Ari. He had the exact same problem. Unfortunately, not everyone will be able to take advantage of his particular- -type of solution. If...

Can only wholeheartedly agree w/ Vertigo. Re: my thread of 12/05/02, "Ety's have NO BASS!!" They lack a sense of (bass) balance, w/ the rest of the audio-spectrum, imo. The proportions just aren't right, somehow. If by "most accurate", one means the ability to reproduce the musical event...

Thanks, wallijonn - have to do some searching to see if anyone has tried that HA-4 amp! kyr - of course "it" (impedance) "does something", otherwise the value would be meaningless, so why bother to include it as a spec.? Presumably impedance is somehow going to affect the sound of the...

Duncan, I can't help you with your question, (wish I could!), but perhaps another question that is (hopefully) related... As with my 990's, what is the point/purpose of the 600ohm "thing"??? What does "it" do? What is it good for? (as opposed to 80ohm, for eg.) If you're talking...

So, this is how I'll get to 100+... Mac, I do (honestly) appreciate the graph - but when I put my ear against the screen, or even after pulling out my 4P's and showing them the graph, I still don't hear any more bass! There was a joke(?) that ended with the punchline, "Who are you going...

Mac, So what you're saying is that what I'm missing is that little air-sound-pocket pounding on&around my pinnae, that I get with regular cans? (Think pants-flapping, in the real world.) How much more visceral can 'phones be? And the bass that I hear w/my 990's is really not...

Thanks, guys. Hey, don't get me wrong. The ety's are great at what they do - and they do that extremely well. Not to mention just about the ultimate in portability, low-profile (on-the -job) hehe, not nearly expensive-looking enough to steal, etc... But that freq. resp. curve on the ety...

Look, I really don't want to make a whole big thing about this, but Ety's have NO BASS!! (or at least not very much...) Got my 4P's a few months back, along with the 4S adapter, (which I never use for obvious reasons!) Have also had my maxed-out meta42, (buffered Class A, no input caps...
