    Proline 750 MOD [adding pics as i progress]

    Cool, yeah I am not in any rush. I would be interested to know the effects of your mods. There are so many options to experiment with, between covering/uncovering different holes, using different ear pads, and cabling.

    Proline 750 MOD [adding pics as i progress]

    I don't suppose you're going to be willing to take on modding other people's 750s?

    Will X-Rays hurt my DAP?

    Actually a lot of people report a loss of battery life from repeat exposure to x-rays... don't know what the true cause is, though. I'm talking about airport employees who are going through security multiple times each day, though.

    Flac to mp3 converter?

    WavPack rocks...
  6. StanleyBuchanan

    My thoughts on the E500/SE530...

    Which is more comfortable, more isolating?

    How good is WMA lossless?

    How do flac and wavpack compare? I like that wavpack details which operations are lossy, lossless, encoding cpu intensive and decoding cpu intensive...

    REVIEW: Sennheiser HD-650 Balanced vs. Unbalanced

    Would you be willing to do the same comparison with your Edition 9s? (if you are able to switch)

    Official X-fi Prelude Specifications

    I wouldn't be worried about driver support. the current creative drivers are working flawlessly on my system (which is running vista ultimate on a Via 1.5Ghz processor...)

    SA5000 vs Proline 750

    Well another 20 hours or so of burn in and I'm starting to open up to the 750 a little more, they definitely have a more detailed low end right now that is very pleasing for string instruments (in comparison to the SA5k) but vocals are still lacking. I've also experimented with different...

    SA5000 vs Proline 750

    A few caveats... SA5000 are broken in and recabled (black dragon) Proline 750 has about 20 hours on it. I have very limited headphone experience and may not be describing my impressions properly. SA5000 seem much more detailed, much more open with greater fullness, much more...

    SoundCards! Need help from people who care about sound...

    T.B.N. I'm told this will work to connect the internal drive http://www.computercablesource.com/detail.aspx?ID=347 Might be easier to route... As for the quality of the drive, well I have had the opamps replaced (yes it has its own) but there is a noticeable difference in sound...

    Audiofile X-Fi by Auzentech

    This is promising for future driver support from Creative as well... Oh Gunblade, I have the audio bay on my X-fi, modded (by cotdt) both the card and the bay. The bay definitely degrades sound quality, but yes for convenience it is great! I bring my rig to lanparties and the less gear I...
