I tried the griffin tunecenter for a few weeks and was unimpressed. It didn't sound great, had variable volume and poor remote response. The apple universal dock, while still having variable out, sounds much better. Anyone have any other suggestions? I'm still trying to find a good dock as well.

Hey Guys, I have a quick question. How far down on the shure E4 tube do your short comply tips fit. Mine seem to leave about 1/8 of an inch between the comply tip and the metal part of the earphone and that's if i really apply pressure to get them on. Do they normally sit flush with the...

Hi, I had a 6GB Micro for about two weeks and I heard the noise as well. I heard it with the stock buds, shure E3cs and grado sr-80s, and it drove me crazy. I returned one model and got another one with the same noise so its not just your player. I don't think that the noise illustrates any...

Base on what you guys have said, I think that I got two bad micros. Does anyone have experience with the 6 gb? I wonder if they changed the design at all. Maybe this problem is specific to that model, and not just my two. Thanks, Derrick

Hello again, Something else that I have noticed is that the second (electronic sounding noise) is much more evident when I'm playing wma subscription file from yahoo than with regular mp3s. Any idea why this would be the case? There is no noise in those files when they are played through my...

I've got a request. Can someone with a micro and some IEM's (I use E3cs) try to play a song with the volume at zero? Can you hear electronic noises throughout the song? In my case, the noise stops when I pause the song. My new 6 GB micro also exhibits this problem. Thanks, Derrick I assume...

Hello, I just received a new micro and it seems to have the same noise problems. The high squeel seems to be interference with the hard drive spinning or accessing data and the other noise seems to be related to the disk as well. The second noise is always present, but not audible unless...

I really want to like the zen micro, but the problems I've had are unacceptable. I have been using (and loving) my Karma for almost 1.5 years now, but now need to find something that works with Janus subscription. I should be getting a replacement micro from amazon on friday and hope that the...

Hi, I just received a new 6 gb zen micro from amazon and am having a few problems. To begin with, there is a loud, high pitch noise that I hear (even over some music) when the hard disk spins. Is this normal with the zen micro? Also, there is always some noise in the output. The noise sounds...

My download speed is fairly quick, but so far I've only see it get 1 song at a time . (Napster gets many) There may be a setting for it, but I haven't found it. In addition, there appears to be no sync option for multiple computers: the songs I download at work need to be downloaded manually at...

Hello, In respect to the corda, I am not really looking at them now, they have just always occupied a place in my mind as excellent amps. One other amp that I am considering is the Headsave new classic that is currently for sale. Does anyone have experience with this amp and how it compares...

I had never considered the M3. It looks like it could fit the bill a bit better than an intro level ppa. Do any of you have any experience with the Corda HA-1 Mk II? I would like to have the option to experiment with crossfeed. That functionality could be built into a M3 as well, right? Thanks...

Hi everyone, Thanks for the great comments. I am currently looking at the ppa that is for sale in the other forum. You can see that it is priced competitively with the gilmore lite (a great price I might add $245), and I've been informed that it has socketed opamps so I could try a few...

Hello all, I currently am listening to some Sennheiser 580s and Grado 325is. My sources range from a panasonic CP72 DVD-A player to a Rio Karma. The only dedicated headphone amp that I have is a Shellbrook labs super mini moy (Although I use the headphone jack on a Harman-Kardon receiver...

That's interesting. Thanks for the reply
