I got the ex71 and the sound is quite underwhelming. However, at ~$30 and for watching TV at the gym, these are comfortable and practical. I was going to spend more on some shures, but after realizing how I just stuff them in my pocket, it doesn't seem like such a good idea. Maybe I'll try...

Everything I've read makes it hard to choose. I'd like canalphones for their discreet and isolating characteristics but #1 is that they have to stay in my ears and remain comfortable. Now I wonder what my ears are shaped like because everyone has a different "falling out" experience with each...

What do you wear at the gym and what do/don't you like about them? I use the elliptical and lift weights, but my earbuds always end up falling out so much I end up stuffing them back into my pocket, content to listen to grunting testosterone-factories. I don't think Sony V6's would work any...

I'm looking finally to move up from my v6's and even though I can read countless reviews, it sounds like the best thing is to hear it for myself. I live in a fairly small town, but I'm going up to Portland OR tomorrow, so I was wondering what kind of major stores I should visit to audition...

for recording/playback at 24bit maybe? it is a professional level card, right?

Just picked up a pair from Guitar Center to try out. I've been listening to all kinds of music on my ad8620 pimeta. I'm kind of new to headphones, so this is just my subjective opinion. Feel free to contradict or criticize at will I've been looking for a easier-listening set to replace my...

http://tangentsoft.net/audio/pancomp.html wouldn't this be the next step in tangent's article? that had all the info I needed. sorry if you were looking for something else, but hopefully this is enough

Yeah, but I have no dremel. The hacksaw might be a little big for the project. Let my wallet recover for a few weeks and I might splurge on a nice kit And yes, everything is working fine now. No more internal bbq's. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for everyone's support on this forum, especially tangent who made this all possible! This has been my first DIY electronics project other than installing some fan switches in my computer It's inspired me to make some CMOYs and give them out as presents in the near future as well. I...

thanks to everyone who helped out! this forum rocks! my buffers are no longer numbing the pads of my index fingers. they're barely warm now. it sounds great too. I can hear all the imperfections in my 128-encoded mp3s I made sure to check and touch up every solder joint, and I think that...

Now I know why they call it amp ****. I feel so naked revealing the insides of my amp. Then yall point and say "lose a little weight here" and "a little more solder there." For real though, thanks for the suggestions. Looking at my work, I know I should have been a little more fastidious...
