This should be read with a french accent like Bruce Willis's girlfriend in pulp fiction, talking about big bellies. "It's a pity that what's pleasing to the ear isn't always pleasing to the eye!

Thank's heaps Qusp, your a credit to Head-fi, I think I'll default the EQ and start again, I not real happy with the SQ currently, not as good as my Vision M, so I'll start afresh and see how I go. I'll post my settings when I work them out, might be of some help to someone else starting out...

Thanks for your idea's guys. I'm not so much trying to get someones ideas on what sound is good for me, more that I'm having problems with the idea's behind the settings, this is what I have to work with. Volume - Right with this one Bass - in Db - OK with this Bass Cutoff - Not to sure...

Yeah thats a very good point 4saken, I'm using Audio Technica ATH-AD900,s and a LOD to Meier Move amp, all music is FLAC or other Lossless. I listen to a lot of diffrent music everything from Kraftwerk to Dead can Dance to Sufjan Stevens.

Hi I've just Rockboxed my 80g Ipod Video (5.5g) and am finding the EQ settings a bit of a challenge. I was wondering what EQ settings people are using. I've searched around and the only info I can find is a link to a Xin's Cool Talk thread, but it's already 2 years old, only has some of the...

As I posted in the other thread try Best Skins Ever, Inc. Home Page They do work well.

Or you can get a bestskinever for $7.99, same thing as far as I'm am aware.

Hi I found a cheap LOD from wemakeamp on ebay, $16us with a Canare cable, should get mine tomorrow, I ask them to shorten the cable from 10" to 5" and he replied that doing so wouldn't be a problem. I just started using a 80g ipod video as my portable player and the first thing I did was...

I'm not sure how they would compare to the AD700's but I have a pair of AD900's and listen to music like Trentemoller, Boards of Canada, BT and such and find them great (out of a Creative Vision M and Move amp). I've read that the 900's have a similar bass feel to the 700's. I have upped the...

I had a pair of UM2's and sold them to purchase a pair of Audio Technica ATH-AD900 (similar price for the Audio Technica here in Aus as the UM2 are in the states where I bought them) and I can tell you that from a comfort and SQ point of view the full size cans blow the UM2 IEM's out of the...

I have a Creative 30g Vision M with a customer line out to a LDM+ amp (soon to be a Meier Move) and a pair of ATH-AD900's and I can defiantly hear the difference between 320bit mp3's and Wav files. I use Foobar2000 to convert flac files to Wav and they are crisper and cleaner sounding. I would...

I use a little dot micro +and UM2's with my ZVM and the amp does clear up the sound a bit, not heaps but it makes a diffrence, maybe a little wider sound stage and slightly more depth. Ripping all your songs to 320 instead of 128 would probably have the same effect. But if you rip to 320 and use...

Hi I use 5,2,-2,0,2 with UM2's and a little dot micro amp.Smart Volume is on, Bass boost and Restrict is off. I think it would really depend on your earphones/IEM's and your ears, you just need to experiment a bit to find out what works for you. Cheers

This iriver s10 is my new player for running. Smallest one I could find that allowed me to choose what songs I want to listen to.
