I think this is true? In particular, while there are three signal loss mechanisms for "coaxial cable" (see: https://www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedias/coax-loss-calculations) these loss mechanisms are for RF transmission (i.e. cables with F connectors at each end) and are basically irrelevant...

Are there any without going DIY - I guess a switcher between two sources?

Questyle M12 claimed specifications: Ships with (note - no lightning adaptor in box): Product photos: Seems to be available already - at least in Singapore. Unfortunately the only output is 3.5mm - but that might be enough. ---- I have never owned any Questyle products, but I like...

I'm currently running them out of a (legacy) Naim DAC-V1 and I quite like it, but I recall more detail when I demoed it with a iFi Micro iDSD Signature (the shop provided that so I'd have a sound more similar to the Naim - I didn't like the Utopias very much out of their original demo source...

... on or before 19th Jan and have received word from JH Audio? My impressions were sent in earlier than that for a JH13, but I changed my order to a JH16 on the 19th. Unfortunately I didn't order direct, so won't be getting emailed - I'm curious about timing!

Anyone have comments on this combination? (Caveat - i haven't searched the UE11 impressions thread yet - link me if you have seen comments?)

If you listen to music using headphones, binanural would be nice. However, they're not particularly common. Any reason why? Going by the "portable music" craze - particularly the number of portable music players sold - isn't that a ready market of headphone-users who would appreciate the...

I'm intrigued. Has anyone tried this? ROKR E8, MOTOROKR E8, Motorola Mobile Phones It's a new phone - touch-ish interface with hapatic feedback (vibrates when you "press" a key). I would generally expect that the sound quality sucks, but... I hope I'm wrong?

Those which apparently cab drive the UE11's well include: RSA Predator PICO LISA III Anything else? Impressions of the above?

help?

I understand from Ultimate Ear that the ambient feature is a third canal that UE drills out and permanently installs a -12 DB filter into, so that customs with the feature can switch from -25db to -12db by removing a port cap. Has anyone got any photographs of this? I'm wondering: 1. Is...

Do you regret paying for the UE11pros at all? If you do, please select the appropriate option and (preferably) post why! I'm considering it, but it's a huge chunk of change! Edit: It would actually be pretty useful, if you don't have the information in your profile or sig, to indicate what...

Has anyone used this combination? How does it sound? Most importantly, will it be nice and silent when no music is playing (like, say, the hornet) or horrible and noisy (even stuff like the millet is).

why? Why? All they really needed to make it look a LOT more unobtrusive was to 1. make the rubber tips black. 2. NOT colour the plastic portions red/blue/green. I mean, I know those are the primary colours, but. 3. Cover the braided cord with something else. It just looks *wierd*. 4...

Are there any other changes besides: Changes for iPod without a Dock connector * Compatibility with iTunes 4.5 and the iTunes Music Store * Improved playback performance Changes for iPod with a Dock connector and iPod mini * Compatibility with iTunes 4.5 and the iTunes Music Store...

Someone compare it? New features: - Playlist publishing; this is called "iMix" - Free Single of the week - iTMS will sell Music Videos - Movie Trailers are now downloadable from iTMS as well - Something called "Radio Charts" which lets you see the most popular songs played on real radio...

Hmm. Has anyone ever tried listening to their headphones while leaving whatever speakers they also have on? Right now, my Grado SR60s are plugged into my ipod remote, while my crappy logitech 2.1 speakers are plugged into the line out of my ipod dock. It sounds great. Ways the...

For listening on an iPod, is the MS1 a worthy upgrade over the SR60? Or what would you recommend? I'm trying not to get an SR225 (which seems to be $150 used) because of the requirement for the interconnect; but is that a worthy upgrade?

Source is a 3G iPod. I currently have the Grado SR-60s, and am considering the HFI-650 as alternative sealed cans. The general impression I get is that they are drivable by the iPod, and sound *quite* good, though they will sound better with a headphone amp. The real question is: Will...

I'm tempted to buy a pair of etymotic ER4P (and probably the converter cable) for use with a 3G iPod - my only remaining concern is how comfortable they will be. Hence - the poll. If you have had really bad experiences with the etymotics, please do post also. I know most people love...

Does anyone use this combination(HD580/600/650 + iPod) ? *without* an amp? I know that conventional headfi wisdom is that this series of headphones does terribly unless properly amplified, but I'm wondering if they will nevertheless sound better than.. say, KSC-35/50, Grado SR60, even while...

Hi. I want to audition headphones! I'm currently living approximately a 15 minute walk away from cornmarket/high street. Pretty much anywhere around oxford town center is fine; It's a good idea if it's walkable, otherwise London might be a better option. In London, preferably a shop...

This is what i've come to understand based on information acquired here and elsewhere. Please correct me if i'm wrong. Before I begin: two parameters - First, the source is portable - this means no amps of an sort, the source will be a relatively good one though, meaning...
