is a PA2V2 enough to drive...
... a set of akg k240's (600 ohm)? I'm thinking no, but thought I would see if anybody has tried. Reason I ask is a buddy of mine recently picked up a pair in pretty good shape, and they sound fine with his vintage pioneer amp, but I was curious if my little PA2V2 would be able to do...- jononku

Why do so many great albums sound so bad?
Yeah, I know it's a loaded question, but I am not looking to debate whether one's ear perceives something to be better than someone else. Rather, I am just curious as to how an album, particularly by a band with lots of money, can still be poorly recorded in this era of technical miracles. ...- jononku

How long does First class mail to Canada take?
Being in Canada myself, I can relate. I'll never understand the requirements that customs has for holding something up, or just letting it pass through. I've ordered larger more expensive items (eg. headphones) via companies or ebay which get here lightening fast, and other times some rinky...- jononku

What sound quality is best for ipod?
The lossless/FLAC vs. 320Kbps is an ongoing debate, there are a number of threads with many detailed posts on the subject but IMHO it is a very subjective thing. Personally all the stuff on my ipod classic is 320Kbps and I can't tell the difference.- jononku

Why do so many great albums sound so bad?
There are quite a few example of badly recorded/engineered albums out there, and I'm curious to know the reason for it. Perhaps it is a money thing for new bands that can't afford better, and yes there are quite a few early recordings where the equipment was probably not the greatest, but that...- jononku

info in vintage aiwa cans
Anyone have any information on aiwa hp-30's? Just wondering how hard they are to drive, what the specs are, and what the sound quality is like. I found an older posting on head-fi for someone selling a pair, but it did not say to much about em'. (other than they look great)- jononku

Soldering For Dummies
I concur with an earlier posting suggesting a variable wattage iron. I started messing around with speakers a few years back (crossovers, re-capping, etc...) and started with a cheapie single wattage iron. I think it was 30W, but depending on what I was doing and type of solder I was using...- jononku

Audio Technica M50s Vs M50?
I say go for the coiled if your main use will be portable. I've got the straight cable on my m30's, and I found them a pain to keep looped up. I do still use the m50's while on the couch and connected to my home rig, the cable stretches to a decent length.- jononku

Looking for Compact Speakers, please help
I would also consider the paradigm atoms, another fine Canadian speaker that would be similar sounding to the energy series. My brother has a set and they are fantastic. I own 3 pair of their big brother, the titans. -
Fiio L1 and L3?
My first LOD was the budget L1, and it was fine, but did not last. After only a few months one of the connections went flaky. I've had the L3 for over a year now with no problems. I'd spend the extra money for the better build quality. -
AH-A100, opinions please vs m50 given my current rig
I know somebody that is selling their mint AH-A100s for around 250 bucks (with the original box, etc...) and I am considering pulling the trigger on these. My god, technical details aside, they are just gorgeous! Anyway, I haven't tried them out yet, but should have the opportunity to A/B...- jononku

m50's vs studio beats
Interesting timing on this post as I just did a comparison today. There is a co-op student on the floor that I work that I see every day with his beat cans, and I've asked him a few times to drop by my desk to do a quick A/B with my m50s (and PA2V2 amp). Well, today was the day, and after...- jononku

M50 owner poll - How long can you wear them?
My daily coach bus commute is one hour each way, and it's no sweat (no pun intended) for that. I've had them on for 2+ hours though when on the couch at home cruising the head-fi website and I've had no issues with them getting uncomfortable.- jononku

Lossless chipping/crackling??
I get the odd album that clips, regardless of format or bit rate, and it is always on newer albums or sometimes on older stuff that has been remastered. As a previous poster mentioned, it is usually because it was recorded and mastered waaaaay to loud. Anyway, I've been using mp3gain for a...- jononku

Quote: I remember that site from at least a few years back, but at the time it was called alltunes.com.

Question regarding "loudness" switch
Definitely sounds like something is amiss with your loudness switch. As an earlier poster mentioned, the loudness button should add a bit more base and possibly treble, and that's about it. In my collection, I have (or have owned) dozens of amps from the same era as your technics, and they all...- jononku

fiio l3 LOD durability?
Yes, my first LOD was a FIIO L1, but it only lasted me about 3 months before one of the connections became flaky. Mind you, my cable gets twisted around quite a bit as it usually rides in my backpack on the bus while connected to my headphone amp. Anyway, I picked up an L3 over a year ago and... -
