Hello there;   I've encountered some problems with my B&W 685 speaker. And i would like to know/share if it's normal to have such a thing or not.   Recently, while recording some stuff, i've noticed a strange response of 685's kelvar mid/bass drive among 10 hz-100 hz. As you may see from the...

Hello there,  Akg k550 owners;. I have a couple of question and reques for all of you. I've tried to search them in the forum and posts but could not find anything. Just wrote the same post @http://www.head-fi.org/t/610298/akg-k550-review/195 but could not get direct answer. Or test result...

@BenPi I tested both on rockbox and original firmware. The results were same. Sound is distorted but i get used to it. Don't expect for help from here because as you can see from older posts, i think they don't have a good ear to understand the difference. I'll buy soon e5....

Yes of course my old one was cx300. I mean sound distorts, by sayin '' it sounds bad ''. All was tested in same eq, song, bit rate, gain etc. I put my Um1 to my notebook or other hi-powered things and sounds great but at iriver it sound distorted its nearly 10 ohms and i think makes a big...
