    4th Time a Charm? - Monster Turbine Pro Gold Nightmare (Edit: 5th times ALMOST a charm)

    My nightmare:   1st pair - Purchased and the right ear bud crinkled while going in, but I didnt think much of it.  Right ear bud would often "go out/pop/crinkle" due to pressure adjustments causing driver flex when already in the ear and it would take a lot of fiddling to get it to work...

    Lossless vs. 110-150kbps variable vs. 256kbps constant MP3. Can you pick them out?

    One of each.  Can you pick them out?  I set the 110-150 to that variable and "fast" but it seemed to get picked up at 166kbps for some reason.  I made the poll just for lossless, but if you pm me your guesses Ill let you know which is which.   http://www.mediafire.com/?9kplrpbj90ql9g5

    Does Eminem's Recovery album sound alright to you?

    I feel like it wasn't properly mastered and it sounds hollow, raspy and congested.  I hear no instrument separation and soundstage.  Anyone else noticing this?  Could it be the iTunes rip?   I found all his other albums to be much better quality, including Relapse.

    Test: "Original" vs. "2002 128kbps mp3" vs. "2010 128kbps mp3"

    Ive taken the original rip in wav form and converted it to mp3 using both LAME 3.93 (Dec. 2002) and LAME 3.99 (Latest version) then converted each back to wav.  Can you tell the difference?   3 samples labeled "Sample 1" through "Sample 3" in zip http://www.mediafire.com/?0m3ztzzixmt...

    Looking to upgrade from Klipsch S4's in $150 range. DBA-02? DDM's?

    Preface: I'm not an audiophile, I just want to hear good sound. I liked my S4's, but recently lost one of the eartips.  I replaced them with some comply t-100s and now the sibilance is disturbing and the highs are pretty harsh.  Rather than buying a set of stock silicones or gamble with another...
