I can only comment on the Superfi 4, and although I like mine, I think I have to recommend against them for your music tastes. They're a little light on the bass, which doesn't bother me because I'm really not a basshead, but I'd imagine that you'd want a more bass-heavy sound for hip-hop...

I'm in the same boat as you with my PK2. They haven't quite stopped working yet, but the cable is very stiff and starting to crack, so I've stopped using them. The closest I've managed to come to solving the problem is finding this guide to recabling the PK2. I haven't been brave enough to...

The Canadian dollar has also been rising quite a bit against the USD over the last few days! I'm pleased; I wasn't happy about the decline in my cross-border purchasing power. It's still much lower than it used to be, but it's getting better!

Older than I used to be... and maybe older than I'd like to be, too. But still young enough for this poll! 21.

Whenever I fly with my headphone amp, they invariably check my bag for explosives (which seems like a reasonable precaution to me), but I've never been given any trouble over it. Of course, that's only my experience for security at Canadian airports, and once in Mexico.

I should be studying for my advanced boundary equations exam on Tuesday. And I am... a little.

Well, for what it's worth, the resistance of the attenuator that came with my Super.fi 4 is about 115 Ohms, assuming I measured it right.

It's okay! There's a way out! xkcd - A Webcomic - Anti-Mindvirus

Nice tip! I've been after a little clip-on player for a while... it's a shame the USD/CAD exchange rate kind of ruins the deal.

I actually quite like my e2c! They aren't much for detail, no, but they've got a warm fun sound to them - at least once they've been modded. I had a bit better luck with my research after I posted, and while I'm not sure the SF4 are going to have exactly what I'm looking for, they're cheap...

Well, I've been away from here for a while, but I'm getting a touch of upgraditis now and Futureshop has a sale on the UE Super.fi 4 that has me intrigued. They're $72 CAD at the moment, and I happen to have a FS gift card burning a hole in my pocket to boot, so it's a very appealing deal...

It makes Speedy Gonzalez look like regular Gonzalez! Well, not really, but it is damn fast, if kind of unreliable. The speed is worth having to reformat it from time to time, though.

Well, I'll say that I bought a Sony A200 with the money I expect from my tax return!

There goes my headphone money...

I know! Why some people like to be thread necromancers and haul up old discussions for no reason is beyond me.

Hey now, this has been posted four times already!

Beware, it's furry! I've been taking a little break from my usual wallpapers of photos I've shot.

If you live in an apartment, isn't this sort of thing your landlord's responsibility to fix?
