Withdrawn. Too personal to ramble here

Pics says a thousand words: I have finished the restore procedure using iTunes and installed RockBox, now copying over my FLAC libraries over.... This is a dream setup for me, slim profile of an iPod Video 30GB and the capacity of the 80GB sibling.....anything better than that?

...and no longer hard-edged - Milky warm and soothing signature - Still analytical but no loger fatigue inducing - Airy soundstage And I am not ********ting when I say my brains melted with the new sound. I have listened to many good amps and I know this is the real deal. Unfortunately...

This pair Shure E500 was on the way to the grave...with cracked and hardened cables which was common on the earlier releases. With dying breath (barely functional - still have sound on both channel), she came to me with high hopes of salvation. It only makes sense to revive it with a new set...

...So he walked through the rain and he walked through the mud Till he came to a place called The Bucket Of Blood Stagger Lee He said "Mr Mother****er, you know who I am" The barkeeper said, "No, and I don't give a good *******" To Stagger Lee He said, "Well bartender, it's plain to...

Please let me walk you through first with the portable rigs that I have used over the past two years: SORRY for the pics bombardment....As can be seen above it's a fetish really...the quest for "perfect" portable audio. A Looong...

I loved these babies so much that I have two of them. They are definitely superior sounding than my ER-4S + Amp rig - which is something I hate to admit. This thread is for a roll call on baby Stax owners and to keep the interest running Hope Audiocats and HeadPhoneAddict can chime in soon...

Pic borrowed from GreatDane rig Anybody know the part number?

iRiver iHP-120 (20 GB) MP3 Player w/ REMOTE ! - NO RES! - eBay (item 230323332267 end time Feb-09-09 14:48:41 PST) It's amazing how pricy these players are now. So if you find any deals below $120. Be sure to grab them.

It has been a month since I received my X200s. At first I find it hard to believe that engadget mentioned that this baby can last 10 hours on a single charge. But true indeed I have been able to leave my charger at home and go completely off on battery while on the job. The X200s can really...

Foreword The acquisition of Lisa III was a fulfillment of years long dream to me. After reading Skylab review on the first commercial Lisa III unit almost two years ago, I was convinced that I must have one myself. Until today, Lisa III still stood strong at the No.1 spot on Skylab ranking...

...- The Y split were set at 0.5M each and then I covered the joint with masking tape which will later will be heatshrinked as well. * The lower part where they all converge into one cable, I sleeved them with 1mm heatshrink first and then another layer with 2mm to beef up the size and...

After careful consideration, I decided to forgo my intent to acquire the open backed AKG K702 / Beyer DT990 Pro (I asked about them almost a month ago here). I find it hard to use an open backed circum aurals at home due to the noisy and "busy" surrounding. Now looking into the closed...

Please state how much you paid for them and from where. This thread is intended to make it easy for those wanting to acquire a pair. Sidenote: My wallet is recovering fast and should be able to pull the trigger on a pair of PFEs perhaps in a week or two, I am sure there's a lot of fence...

Recently, after an upsetting stint with Complys, I ordered new stock ER-4 stock black foamies directly from ETYMOTIC. At first I didn't realize the changes but then the sound made me realized that there's some subtle change compared to the previous tips which I am very familiar with. Upon...

...(I had them for 2 months). This will be for home use and will be amped accordingly. Eyeing: - BeyerDynamic DT990 Pro 250 Ohm - AKG K702 * They are on my list partially because they are black...duh. Oh yes over a year ago I had a chance to sample the sound of DT990 32 Ohm and AKG...

Nuff said, probably the very best audio tweak I discovered in 2008. Immediately after blowing them off the clarity, timbre and airiness attained unprecedented level of hi-fidelity.....now all I need is to catch myself flu again.....

...SNR: >110dB THD+N: 0.0035% Battery Type: Li-ion Battery charge time:10~15 hours Battery Work Life:about 60 hours Dimensions: 80mm*67mm*16mm The Amp that I Received Nice chocolate box? As can be seen here, there’s significant difference in the amp that I...

I was just wondering if there's anybody using the maxxed configuration for SuperMacro-IV. This used to be the flagship amp for Dr. Xin and I guess it still is. I am curious how the maxxed and stacked SuperMacro-IV like the pic below sounds like: I am thinking of collecting all Xin...

Hi. Hope someone can help to clarify this. Will there any benefit feeding my CDs which are entirely in 14/44.1 Khz format through an 8X Oversampling 24/192Khz capable DAC? Or will will this be only applicable if the source itself is of higher grade material? Thanks in advance.

...to Lisa III amp) So, if you want to use them on the move, get this 12V battery pack: SUPER 12V RECHARGEABLE LITHIUM BATTERY FOR CCTV CAMERA * Priced at US $17.99, it's a steal because this battery has been proven to power my PCM1793 DAC for more than 12 hours continuously. The battery...

I just wanna say thanks for being such a sporting dealer. I have received my MiniBox-E+ today and loving it. A note tough, the Mini-Mini included with the amp is quite crappy and has lost one channel within 10 mins of use. I'd suggest you scrap the Mini-Mini altogether because it don't even...

UPDATE: Last night I decided to give another try at the long Complys. I was frustated with the stock ER-4 foamies which seems to lose their tangible form after 1 week of use. This time I was very careful with the insertion. Not too deep and not pushing in with force. And yes! the muffled...

I am building a DIY project and will be operating a 12V battery powered device. Does anybody know which one between OPA2134PA and AD8620, will drain the battery the most? Thanks
