CD Club (kind of like a book club)
well how about a "listening" club where someone picks there 5 favorite cd's and we circulate them ala mystery cd box, except the person just "listens" to each of the 5 cd's and then we discuss it after everyone has listened to the discs and sent them on their way? matthew- matthewd5

traveler bag - improving cd storage...?
well i didn't want to complain but where the hell can you fit a paperback? is that the little zippered pocket in the "pouch" that goes under the amp?? if you didn't put cd's you could fit a decent sized paperback. matthew- matthewd5

expecting new arrival tomorrow - cosmic!
well i alternate between a portable with mini to rca's via a straightwire/headroom cable and an rca/rca pbj cable so i don't see any real options other than to plug/unplug the cable every time i move the amp to/from office or i could get the base station and leave the straightwire cable...- matthewd5

How can I make my headphones louder?
3 options... check your sound card to make sure it doesn't have a headphone out and you missed it. get a cheap pair of computer speakers that have a place to plug headphones into one of the speakers or get an airhead amp www.headphone.com matthew- matthewd5

advice on selling Ety 4p
here is another idea... i liked the way the S model sounded but they just didn't fit my ear. it seemed my ear canal was too small and it just plain hurt. tyll had the custom ear gels for his (looked like a professional monitor thingie) you get them custom made. if you like the sound and...- matthewd5

Need AC power disconnect device
i would use a ups for that. it would last until the batteries were depleted (not that likely unless you put a huge load on it, or the outage is rather lengthy) and when the power came back on it wouldn't power the gear back up until it had cleaned up the power output. matthew -

i would have to say either a total airhead or the creek. i would NOT recommend the grado. in my weekend that i had the grado for a loaner i couldn't tell the difference between the grado and just plugging directly into my receiver. that was before i had much headphone amp experience at...- matthewd5

Problems with Cosmic
my new cosmic doesn't seem to have this problem. just to compare settings... i use mine mostly with bright or brighter, process is always on and the gain on medium or high. one thing about the last setting, it seems to work out for me that i don't often get the volume that far up there...- matthewd5

you know, my office is in south hadley mass. just about half way between boston and hartford, a short distance off of 91 and the mass pike (90) would this help facilitate a meeting? also, beware, we have two cats at the office, so if there are any allergy issues... matthew- matthewd5
