I had someone a few years back sort me out for a recable on my SR80's and the cabling has bit the bullet again.. in desperate need of someone to help out again, could you please pm me if you have good experience in recabling, or preferably if you were the last guy that helped me out, thanks in...

My recommendation? Buy a 32gb iPod touch.. Great SQ and when jailbroken a plethora of features. The internet browser rocks too. Oh and video looks great. I know I sound like a tool pushing another Apple product but seriously, the touch has everything (except a cheap price for decent...

Hi I got my Grado cans copper recabled last year by a member of Head-Fi, I think was called sleepx or something close to that. I can't find the PM's we exchanged before and I need make contact with him again. If you read this, whoever you were that helped me, please PM, or if you know who I'm...

Whoa, whoa hey now, there was a point where I thought that (due to others' testimonials) where I thought the amp would take four months at the most.. I do agree, a year is ridiculous, but I haven't exactly been checking my email every week for that invoice. It's a nice little surprise to say...

Okay okay okay okay after a whole freakin' year of waiting, I finally received the invoice for my SuperMicroIV! Yeeeaaaaah!

Yeah I thought the t-shirt was a good choice for the meet. Man, do I always smile like a jackass? Impressions: The amps (SR71, Tomahawk and Hornet 'M') I tried out with my SE420's didn't seem to make much of a difference to me. When I put on David's SE530's connected to one of the RSA amps...

Well, I'm closing 9 months. Abso-*****in-lutely ridiculous (counting the fact he ignores my emails) but knowing that others are waiting as long as I have is more assuring than thinking Xin had forgotten all about my SMicro IV order.. thanks I guess. P.S. 222 pages? Holy crap..someone should...

Wow thanks for the helpful responses. From reading all this, I may just go for a cheaper amp like the mini-E or the P2 and see what difference that makes (I alread own a decent LOD). Unfortunately I live in Sydney, Australia so I don't think there will be many head-fiers around, of course if you...

@ Capunk: Okay thanks for that, I'm only interested in portable amps anyway. @FeedMeTrance: I'm not awake enough to understand your point there mate.

I guess that's your opinion but why can't the sound coming out of Shure IEM's be improved through amping?

I know it's hard to quantify an improvement in sound from moving to a portable amp but could anyone give me some sort of percentage indicating the increase in sound quality? Of course you everything has to have stayed the same before and after the adding of an amp, hell, as you read this try...

@mrdeadfolx Yes they do sound great, and at least I'd still be able to listen to them in a hospital..

Got them in the mail the other day. In a word they are awesome! I love how balanced they sound, I won't pretend I know what highs and lows are but they are perfect for my 320kpbs mp3 and ALAC files. The bass isn't overpowering of the other details and I can hear instruments I never could before...

Maybe I'm being dumb, but you have tried menu + select right?

I've had the same problem with my nano but the nano itself is fine, My headphone jacks seem to slowly lose the left channel if I continually apply pressure to the plug, it seems to wear away the gold plating on the left channel ring on the plug. Dunno if that helped in any way, shape or form.
