Headstage Arrow HE: Reviews, Impressions, Perceptions & Sensations
I hear no hiss with any of my gear at gain and imp of 0 or 1 (any combo). Very minor hiss at gull gain on really high (non-listenable levels) volume.- Golden Monkey

Cowon J3 Impressions Thread
Rockbox is good for poorly implemented UI's, but the J3's is nice. That said, some of the community-designed UI's, like Kizune's efforts are awesome alternatives though. I use the standard UI with Aero Music for the music player, as I like the added functionality without having to leave the...- Golden Monkey

Quote: Depends on what you want the amp for...crossfeed? bass boost? Want that without a software based solution? Also, some phones (not IEMs), regardless of impedance and sensitivity ratings DO need the juice to shine. Beyer t50p's being a case in point.- Golden Monkey

What makes one portable player better than the other?
Jesus Christ, this was the most boring thread I think I've ever read on any forum anywhere. OP asks a loaded question. Nobody's answer is good enough until Nerd Camp A goes overly-analytical/technical, then Nerd Camp B counters with overly-subjective/emotional response...anger ensues. One...- Golden Monkey

I'd do that too, but at any given time I have around five gigs worth of podcasts. Nothing like going from Iron Maiden to BBC's "History of the World in 100 Objects".- Golden Monkey

Cowon J3 Impressions Thread
Aha! I asked you about this in the EQ settings thread, and I see you have the answer here...the reason for the lower battery life is the lossless files. They take a lot more processing power to play. If you stuck to lossy mp3, you'd get much closer to the 64 hour rating, but in my...- Golden Monkey

Cowon J3 - Personal User EQ Settings
I'll try your settings too, King...the SM3 seems very dependant on source material and equipment to shine, but curiously enough doesn't benefit hardly at all from any sort of amping. I don't know if you changed the "width" settings on the EQ or not, but it looks like my settings have a little...- Golden Monkey
