Sennheiser HD 598 Impressions Thread
My HD 598 SEs arrived today. Authenticity check passed without issue, and so far they sound pretty good (tested mostly from a WA7d and an iPhone 5S). The cable situation is annoying though - it's great that it comes with a shorter 3.5mm termination cable, but the plug is too thick to fit into...- GokieKS

Plextor to discontinue consumer CD/DVD burners...
Damn, that sucks. I truly love my PlexWriter Premium for DAE and audio burning, and have kept it through 3 or 4 rounds of DVD burner upgrades. What am I gonna do when it, or the IDE standard, finally dies... =(- GokieKS

What's wrong with Creative?
My solution to the gaming vs sound quality issue was to get two computers, put an Audigy in one and an E-MU in the other.- GokieKS

Houston, June 8th Headroom meets Head-Fi tour
R-10s and SA-5000s... *drool* Man, this is making it more tempting by the moment. I'd be up for an Austinite carpool down there if we can get one together. I won't be on this weekend, unfortunately, but I'm pretty flexible in terms of timing, so almost anything will be fine with me. Just post...- GokieKS

Houston, June 8th Headroom meets Head-Fi tour
I'd really like to go (and I may make it yet), but it's gonna be a 2.5 hour drive to get to Houston, not to mention the time in traffic inside Houston... then I'll have to drive back (or beg a friend for a place to stay)... If only it were on a weekend. But that's the way it goes, I guess...- GokieKS

Poor (wu)mans Vaja?
Looks pretty nice... but nothing for the Mini... The Vaja case is still the best I've seen, though (well, judged solely from pictures on the internet, anyhow). ~KS- GokieKS

All in one PC:Advice appreciated.

Hearo + Libsample rate High Quality >>> Foobar Kernel Streaming.
Too bad it forces you to use WMP. I've downloaded HEARO and installed it on my other computer, and though I haven't tried it in-depth with music, it does some weird things with some of the video files I've tried. And the chance of me using WMP for music is somewhere near the vicinity of a...- GokieKS

Exact Audio Copy 0.95 beta 1 released!
I've been using 0.95 Prebeta 3 all this time, and haven't had any problems at all... as far as I'm concerned, it might as well be a "final" version already. *upgrades anyway* ~KS- GokieKS

Why am i keep missing e888???
Maybe give the Audio-Technica ATH-CM7/Ti a try? I've owned th E888s before, and judging from memory, I thought the CM7s were similar, but somewhat better in sound quality. As for build quality, not really a contest at all. ~KS- GokieKS

Foobar - why?
The main reason I switched was because of the Unicode support, but I understand it's not a major issue to most people. I also like the included masstagging and conversion tools. I actually like the asthetics of Winamp, but not enough to make me choose it over fb2k's features. I do use...- GokieKS

What MP3 Player is BEST LOOKING?
I really liked the blue first-generation iPod Mini. (I own a 2G green one, since the new blue is more of a turqoise color that I don't care for). Toshiba's Gigabeat also looks pretty nice, if a bit big. ~KS- GokieKS

How to use the Plainface Smiley?
Don't think I've used it here, but on another forum, I've always used it as a response whenever someone says something so unintelligible that I don't even know where to start in correcting them... kinda like a "you're kidding me, right?" response. It compliments the rolling-eyes emoticon quite...- GokieKS

Anyone else hooked on Guild Wars?! -nt-
I bought it for a friend today, and from watching her play it for about an hour, I've managed to deduce that the game is more aesthetically pleasing than WoW, and that the in-game UI customization is nice... I dunno, I'll probably pick it up when I've got the money to spare. ~KS- GokieKS
