How to remove HD800 ear pads!!! (Finally I figured how...)
Quote: You just hover the earpads over the place they suppose to go to, and then you place it down snaping it back into place via picthing both of your fingers both on the earpads and the headphones themselves, You do not try to fold the plasic/rubber thingy under or around the plasic.- Fortgammon

[REVIEW & MOD] FiiO L6 LOD for Sansa Fuze
I accidentally ripped out the ground contact of my L6 while trying to recable it, I compensated by soldering the ground wire directly to the ground pin on the circuit broad, it works well but I have any nod on my head on whether I'm sacrificing something... none of the caps connected to the... -
Jut got a Cowon J3
Just by looking at the picture of a X-fi Titanium HD I can conclude that thinking the J3 would be as good was wishful thinking, The only Cowon player I owned was the iAudio 7, but I assume that they sound best when tweaked, most would accept inferior sound on the go compare to what they listen...- Fortgammon

Advice on first DAC
I always enjoyed the benefits of using portable Amplifiers versus the puny stuff in most mp3 players, I as well listen to some music at home, but I never once listen to a line out signal, my amp has always been connected to a Headphone out :( I considered a uDac not too long ago, but I...- Fortgammon

What was your 1st Portable Music Player? (Please read rules)
My first PMP was a CD player back at '05, but can't for the life of me remember anything about the model name and such, I used to carry it on my backpack and reach over to the back of it where it was in a pocket thin enough to feel the buttons and change songs... all this while on my bike :)...- Fortgammon
