    The Stax Thread III

    Left them playing music for 18 hours, the imbalance is still around 1.5x.

    The Stax Thread III

    I have a weird problem with imbalance, seems to be a bit different from what other people experience. So I've purchased used Stax SR-5 with SRD-6/SB adaptor, and when I first plugged everything in, the left speaker was like 10x quieter than the right one. By that time, both headphones and...

    SONY NWZ-A10 Series

    Just got myself brand new NWZ-A17 for $130. Everything's fine so far. I would say that's a bargain (considering that NW-A847 cost me $400-$500 back in its day).

    Amp3

    Sorry for bumping the old thread, but can anyone share the instruction for AMP3? It is no longer available on hisoundaudio website, as they completely reworked said website about a year ago.

    Sony Sound (Is it better than Apple's?)

    Quote: They are the same sonically (except for volume cap on european models), but in Japan there is 64GB NW-A847, and european models AFAIK go only as high as 32GB.

    No 120gb+ mp3 players compatible with mac other than ipod?

    Microsoft released some "Zune connector for Mac" recently... however, i'm not sure whether it is compatible with 120 or with HD only. In theory, there should not be any difference between 120 and HD connectivity, but you'd better check it with google.   Or you can always upgrade some...

    Sony Sound (Is it better than Apple's?)

    I enjoyed my NW-HD5, NWZ-X1060 and NW-A847 (btw, why aren't you looking at japanese high-capacity A84* series?) And ipod video (5th gen, rockbox, lossless) sounded like... well, there was some sound.

    MP3 Players at CES 2011

    Quote: If only this stuff would have been available outside of Japan... i can't even use browser on my DoCoMo phone, not to mention apps... However, as a camera it is definitely not worse than an average cheap dedicated camera; and such an integration doesn't seem to affect DSLR...

    what the difference between Audio-technica ATH-CM700 BW and ATH-CM700Ti

    By the way, foams are not necessary. I'm using these for a couple of years without foams, and i love their sound :)

    A new high end player: Colorfly

    Quote: Not Russians at all, but single man (like Vinnie does his mod for ipod). As opposed to iMod (which has the single circuit changed), such a cowon mod features completely new circuit board in addition to stock one; iirc that extra board features DAC, amplifier etc. That's why such...

    A new high end player: Colorfly

      Quote: Different people, different tastes. It is possible that some people said that colorfly is awesome (and their posts remained), and some people said that colorfly is so-so (and their posts got deleted). It is purely my speculation, as i didn't watch the entire thread evolving...

    iPod Classic alternates?

    Quote: I'm on Windows, however, i want to keep my primary OS clean, so i installed VirtualBox (available on http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads ), and installed Windows XP from some old CD inside. Zune Software works great on that virtual XP system, and there is no problem in...

    what the difference between Audio-technica ATH-CM700 BW and ATH-CM700Ti

    Quote: Maybe because of this: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=22732 ? It seems that E888 are just slightly better than MX500 i had some years ago. And CM700 are incomparably better than MX500, they are from different league.

    what the difference between Audio-technica ATH-CM700 BW and ATH-CM700Ti

    Quote: Yes, something like that. Because i've never found a great repairman, the connection between the replaced plug and the replaced cable always wears out after a while... but there never was any problem with connection between the replaced cable and earbuds.

    Different encoder same bitrate does it make a different to sound?

    Quote:   LAME is considered the gold standard between MP3 encoders. If the OP was saying about WMA encoder, then things are becoming more complicated. PS: I'm not an audiophile, but i hear the difference between lossless and MP3 (even if it is 320kbps) on the most of my CDs.

    Quote: I would not trust that reviews from player.ru forum. Moderators there are constantly removing threads and posts they disagree with (and after that, they're removing even hints of that something was removed; i was a witness of such events once). If there is only praising in Colorfly...

    what the difference between Audio-technica ATH-CM700 BW and ATH-CM700Ti

    Quote: I'm not able to notice any difference, but i'm not an audiophile. Theoretically, the casing material should not affect the sound. I have two pairs of these, CM700Ti i've purchased two years ago (replaced the plug a couple of months after purchase, replaced the cable another...

    what the difference between Audio-technica ATH-CM700 BW and ATH-CM700Ti

    Quote: It depends on what do you call "like". I absolute hate these for their cable and plug being so cheap and fragile; and i haven't yet found someone who will resolder replaced plug and cable so that it won't need another repair at least for several month. I've used that backup...
