One thing I'd wish for is a FULL SIZED SDXC slot.  You can already buy 128GB SDHC cards for $200 or so and prices will keep coming down.  Except in a tiny player like a Sansa Clip, restricting to micro cards is a silly limitation.  It's especially crazy in the large 10 inch Android tablets that...

If anyone cares, ABI just ran the most brutal review I've ever seen, about the v5:   http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/2010/05/cowon-v5-hd-review.php

Another possible alternative to the 2gb Clip is the v4 M250 which supposedly has about the same internal electronics so should have similar SQ. It is in slightly larger packaging and runs on an AAA cell instead of a built-in rechargeable. That means it's easy to swap out the AAA for another one...

Quote: The 16gb J3 is on newegg.com right now (not sure about amazon) but a 32gb version has just come out in Korea, so maybe you want to keep waiting.  Me, I have a D2 and prefer it to the J3 because of its full sized SDHC slot and its standard mini-USB connector instead of a proprietary...

FlatNine, I'm pretty sure the current Fuze firmware supports both Flac and Ogg.  Rockbox supports the v1 Fuze pretty well (the woot refurb I bought a few months ago is a v1).  Rockbox for the current v2 Fuze still has some issues but some people are apparently using it.   I may have...

OK, I went back and looked at those old threads and it looks like the bass rolloff effect is real, when driving low impedance phones, possibly due to coupling capacitors in the d2 output path.  Low impedance = 16 ohms and lower, there are a bunch of graphs showing how the effect gets more...

I haven't had any problem with mine and they seem built about as well as typical consumer headphones that I'm used to.  I got them for around 50 bucks from woot and they were well worth it in my opinion.  The list price of 180 would be too much.  I think they are sort of knock-offs of the Bose...

Thanks.  The E4 was the predecessor to the SE420 and cost about the same, unless I'm mistaken.  I have the feeling that the markup on this stuff is phenomenal.  I have SE210's and I like the way they sound, but I rarely use them because I greatly prefer full sized headphones to IEM's. 

Now back to $249 at that site, but typing "shure scl4" into google finds numerous other stores selling it at $119.  Sounds like it's being discontinued.  What is an scl4 anyway?  Does it correspond to someplace in the se110/210/310/420/530 product line? 

I have a pair and was about to review them.  They are great.  From an audiophile perspective they sound like crap, but that's not the reason for using this type of device. 

The AE-1 was a breakthrough camera in that it was the first real mass market SLR.  A great choice and you can get tons of fantastic lenses for it at bargain basement prices.

There is a direct comparison review at iaudiophile.net (a cowon fan site, be aware).   http://iaudiophile.net/forums/showthread.php?t=34374   ABI has a standalone review:   http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/2009/11/cowon-iaudio-e2-review.php

I found some overpriced ones on google.  My inclination would be to concoct something temporary using AA cells, and transfer those MD's to other media.  You might be able to adapt a phone or PDA battery instead.

Indications are that using the card does shorten battery runtime.  Using flac and ogg may also shorten it (more intense cpu demands than mp3).  It hasn't been a problem for me since I usually listen to it near a computer, so I recharge it if the battery gauge starts getting low.  I imagine I...
