Doesn't look like they are rechargable, but should last at least 3 times as long as an alkaline. JC

A few weeks ago there was a very thorough discussion about rechargable vs alkaline batteries. I got a tip from a friend of mine who works on pro video equipment for TV broadcast about the virtues of lithium 9 volt batteries that are often used for backup in big video cameras. At the time that I...

There's no doubt that cables do alter the sound of a system. I just think that many people feel that higher price is always "better sound" nothing could be farther from the truth. Some high priced cables sound good, some lower priced cables sound better. It's all system dependent. For me it...

You may have better luck finding a pair of Koss Sporta-pros which have the same drivers. I did take a listen to them and they seemed to sound the same. Good luck. JC

I listened to a lot of low cost CANS and the KSC-35 smokes the rest. The KSC-50 in my opinion are no where near the performance of the 35. You owe it to yourself to at least take listen to them before you go to something less musical. JC

I have not seen the KSC-35 listed for sale at the Circuit City web site. But I did hear from a buddy who lives prettyy far from the store that they shipped him a closeout KSC-35 after he pleaded that they were not listed at the Web site. Worth a try. I f I find a pair at my locale Circuit City...

I found several pairs at Circuit City on close out for $14.99 If you don't have a store close by they will ship them for $4.00 in the USA.

These all appear to classic cases of "more money does not directly mean more music" I have been very suspicious of this mega buck stuff, not because I can't afford it but because carbon fiber cased stuff does not make it sound better it just doesn't. I had a few very expensive cables in my main...

I have a buddy that works on pro video equipment and broadcast uplink power supplies he said that he has seen 9volt size lithium batteries that are found deep in the guts of these cameras. He said they are desinged to power up certain parts of the camera if there is a power glitch. These things...

Well after some unsatisfying sessions with my new X-CAN V2 running off a Pioneer DV414 DVD player, I finally have some good news about the sound of the XCanV2. I decided to do some experimenting, so I dusted off an old Audio Alchemy V1.0 that was sitting in the closet and ran it off the DAC out...

I'm sure someone including myself would be willing to buy a pair of the V6's for you for $69.00 and ship them to you. You could say that you left them at your friends house in the states when you visited, this way it would not be taxed at all. You may have to take them out of the box and send...

If the drivers on the KSC-35-50-55 and Sporta-pro are the same then why is the electrical impedance different between them. I checked out the Sporta-pros and their impedance is 38ohm's my KSC-35 is 60ohm's. This lead's me to believe that they are different beasts. JC

I think a CAN that has been overlooked is the AKG 301. I have both the 501 and the 301 and I like the balance that the 301 offer. They are very comfortable and work well with my portable and with a dedicated amp. They dont have the overall performance of the 501 which some don't like anyway, but...

The volume control in the MF X can V2 is relatively cheap but by no means as cheap as a Radio shack carbon deposited type that literally costs just pennies to build. The unit in the MF is a sealed conductive plastic unit similar to the Clarostat that costs about 12.00 though this is cheap as...
