Help: Headphone jack on iRiver H10
Hey all, I was hoping that you would help me out with some advice on my broken headphone jack . I was all excited to install Rockbox on my blue H10 20 gb, but then I went and stepped on my headphone while the plug was still in. I can see that the plug is no off center, and if I insert a...- Xirj

Dream Theater- Systematic Chaos
Doing an initial quick through listen. Couple notes: Loved "The Dark Eternal Night" really love the dissociated feel in the song. Not liking "Prophets of War". when it first came on, I thought somehow Muse got into the playlist, but it's Muse style throughout, except the cheap chorus. -
Flex Sleeves Rule!!! - Shure E4c
Woohoo, another medium clear flex user. I used to use the medium grey ones but one night, procrastinating about school work I decided to do test all of the sleeves.

TOOL 10,000 Days CD Packaging. Wow
Vulture is definetly blurry, haha, I thought it was my eyes. What an album though, don't know if it its better than Aenima or Lateralus but for 9.99 CAD, it's completely worth it. In the day and age of record companies and artists complaining of the lack of CD-sales, Tool completely... -

Need more prog metal & prog death metal
Well for about half a year now I have been listening to some progressive metal and I absolutely love it. It's like having the richness of classical music right there in your intense rock songs. The fact that a lot of them are also well recorded and just sound brilliant has made me discover and... -
Corda Aria DAC vs some $250 DAC
Bump for good measure and... Been looking at the separate DAC's and one that have caught my interest are the firestone audio 'Spitfire' DAC and the HeadRoom Micro DAC both weighing in at around $250-300.

Corda Aria DAC vs some $250 DAC
Hey there. In a couple weeks I'll be getting a PA2v2 and a pair of Grado 325i's. Towards the midsummer I'll be looking to upgrade both my source (currently it's the headphone out of an X-fi) and my amp. I'll probably want to spend around $500 on this whole combination of DAC and amp, so here's...- Xirj

I don't know about Vancouver, but in Toronto you can get Grado's at Bay Bloor radio, another Toronto store: http://www.cpused.com/pricelists_www/fpl_ipod.php, and I stumbled into an audio shop downtown in Montreal the other day that had a mini headphone wall and had Grado's from the SR line. I...- Xirj

Disappointed with 595 build.
Speaking of shirt clips, I have a pair of shure e4's and really dislike the microphonics while I am walking, what could I do to reduce it? I wear them over the ears and down the front, are there any usable accesory shirt clips out there?- Xirj
