ok cool thanks

I guess so.. But I really don't know the first thing about customizing EQ. Any suggestions on that?

Hey Guys, I'm new to custom EQ and stuff like that. I've read that the E2c really dont deliver bass up to par with other expensive headphones, but hey, I'm one of those people who find the bad parts of a item after I buy it. I've been quite satisfied with my E2cs (which recently broke and are in...

Edit: Site was lagging and posted message twice.

It's for personal use and personal recording. I would love to opt for an acoustic, but there's the noise issue, and buying a silent acoustic is far out of budget (that's already halfway towards a grand piano right there). Apart from the Yamaha GranTouch which can seen as a slightly neutered...

I think I've come to a decision now (still needs final approval from those controlling the pursestrings ). I'll be going for the Yamaha Clavinova CLP-280 PE (polished ebony). The wooden hammer action is exactly what I was looking for, and it has just enough features to satisfy my needs. It's...

One more week has passed, and I've narrowed down and have adjusted my focus more. Kawai wooden action while great is too light for me, so Yamaha it is. Now it's down to which one. CLP-270, CLP-280, CVP-307 The dealer quoted an official price for the CLP-270 (don't think it's list price...

Thanks for the clarification. I think I'll opt for the external amp (+ DAC combo for the computer at some point). The micro (with the desktop module) represents the perfect balance for me because I'll be moving around a lot between my home and my appartment, yet I still want a decent...

Assuming the K601's get reviewed positively, I'l be picking up a pair of those as soon as I finalize my digital piano purchase. I've chosen those because they fare well with classical music and piano, and that's the brunt of what I'll be using it for. The other part would be games, and I'm...

I tried searching, but there haven't been that many comparisons of the two. My Plans Since I'll buy the amp at a later date (to spread out costs), I think I can bump my amp budget up to the next level. How much better is the Micro Amp (alone) than the TA/TB if it's plugged directly into...

How much better would a Total Bithead ($260) be if I connected it up to the USB port of my laptop as opposed to a Total AirHead ($200) connected to the sound card? I really don't have plans on touching the sound card as I got it just a month ago. I'm leaning towards the latter unless there's...

Remember that I've got a laptop. The product cited looks like it's only for desktops.
