    What to put next to the recliner in a quiet room?

    Decided to try Volumio (Free) on a Cubox ($150) with my Music Streamer II Can be controlled via basically anything else on the LAN. I am quasi comfortable with Linux so... worth a shot anyway.

    What to put next to the recliner in a quiet room?

    My home theater room has a PC w/Music Streamer II -> Headroom Little -> few different sets of cans (Senn 580, Grado SR325 among others). Everything is under a little end table to the right of the recliner. Complaints with this setup: 1. PC is aging and takes a while to boot 2. PC has a little...

    Rockit Sounds R-50 Reviews and Impressions

    I have had mine for about a week.  Also just rockboxed a clip+ for the first time in that week.  The R50 sound a lot fuller with the Future Sounds foamies recommended earlier but still don't pair as well with the clip+ as my Hippo VBs.  My iPod video on the other hand (also rockboxed), they...

    Rockit R-50 IEM Foam tips?

    looks like about 3mm to 3.5 - depends on where I measure it.  There is a little retention band about 2/3 of the way up the post where it is a little fatter.

    Rockit R-50 IEM Foam tips?

    Yep.  No listing.  There is no diameter info on the site or the packaging.

    Rockit R-50 IEM Foam tips?

    Hey gang,   I essentially always need foam tips for IEMs... I have big honkin ears and I need something that expands to keep them in place/get a good seal.   Can anyone link me to or give me good search terms for tracking down foam tips that will work with these?  I really like Comply...

    Suggest IEM (< $110) for use with Go-Vibe 5 (Low Gain). Replacing Er-6i

    My wife let our dog eat my headphones and she'll be paying for replacements out of her entertainment allowance; she has to learn to pay attention to the dog when she has responsibility for the dog.    I digress.   I see Er-6i quality has deteriorated since I got mine ~3 years ago.   I...

    Go-Vibe 5: What!Mate?!

    I posted a long first impression post above (6-8 posts up) and I am back after 5 days to say... ...money well spent. I'm using this Low Imp GV5/IEM combo more than any other setup I've ever had (except my home stereo and EMU/desktop amp/full size can stuff). Its so portable. So awesome. I'm...

    Shipped 9/21 Arrived 10/2 Listening with Er-6i iPod source/TurboDock II/Cardas Mini Cable GV powered by Powerex NiMH 9v battery A few of quick notes: 1) I'm super familiar with the reference stuff on my iPod. In a lot of cases it is lossless. I have the SACD or DVD versions of a lot...

    Amp suggestion for: iPod + ER-6i + TurbodockII

    Ohhhh, I didn't realize Ray had built something in this class. I met him a couple years ago at a Nashville Head-Fi meet and all his stuff sounded wonderful. I'll have to shoot him an email. EDIT: EEEP! $350 retail

    Amp suggestion for: iPod + ER-6i + TurbodockII

    I have the Supermini 1.0 and even with new batteries I never use it because of the noise The noise isn't audible in SR325s or Senn 580s but in those IEMs it is clear as day. Went though some rough spots financially this year but now I can spend some dough to get something listenable...

    My Grado SR-325's are falling apart

    The little stick that goes in the plastic... that hole is worn out to where it doesn't stick anymore. So my cans are always falling apart. Which sucks. A lot. Common problem? Solutions? I'm thinking maybe rubber glue or something that isn't permanent but will keep them together a...

    ~$100 IEM for use w/iPod + XinSuperMini?

    Howdy, Superficial Headroom browsing and dashing around the fora seem to indicate this will come down to either the E2c or the super.fi 3. I've already emailed Turbo about a dock -> 1/8" out adapter. I've *really* gotten in to poker and though I love my Grado325s and various Senns, they're...
