HD650 Tomahawk upgrade?
I know I'll benefit but what I'm looking for is an appreciable difference . If you think it'll be leaps and bounds better with a more powerful amp, please also state your opinion on high quality cables. Setup is .wav - XP - Itunes - stock Prelude - Tomahawk - HD650 all basic cabling.- tom10167

Just tell me what to buy
What I have: DFI Lanparty with built in 5.1 sound. RSA Tomahawk .......that's it. I plan on getting HD650s and a good mic for gaming. I realize the soundcard won't be great, so what's a good recommendation? I don't plan on immediately getting a surround system but I'd rather not spend...- tom10167

Multiple playlists without 2 copies of the song.
iTunes "Mainlist" has songs A-Z I want a "gym list" which contains songs A, B, C and D If I set up a second list and do this, it physically copies the song on there twice, which sucks and is ineffecient and stupid. What do I do?- tom10167

I want something quieter than SE530s
Okay. They're fine unamped out of an Ipod. At the absolute lowest volume they're still too loud for me in quiet environments, but it isn't unbearable most of the time. Amped they are just WAY too loud with my Hornet, YES THE GAIN IS SET TO LOW. Like if I'm in my car or something they're okay...- tom10167

Need a quieter amp than the Tomahawk
I have E500s right now which are 36 ohms. With these and my Ipod I find that they are just a tad too loud at the absolute lowest volume setting in a quiet environment. In noisy places I only adjust the volume up very slightly and it's plenty. With the Tomahawk at low gain, they are too loud...- tom10167

Problem with my Hornet-M?
This thing is LOUD with my E500s. Too loud. If I lower the volume past the last dash on the knob I notice the left ear gets quieter first. Does this happen with all of them or is this cause for concern?- tom10167

Which cable for Imod to Hornet
I'm a nub when it comes to all this, on ALO's site cables seem to come in either two plug or one. Which do I need? What's the difference? This crap is REALLY expensive! :O- tom10167

Putting .Wavs on Ipods?
I want to do this, I rip them as .wav files, and I put them in my playlists, and when I check the properties, it says it's a .wav file, but the file size is only something like 2.75 megs a minute, and I KNOW .wavs are more like 12 megs a minute. What is Apple doing here?- tom10167

Confused about 5.5 Imod.
K I know I know I just want to make sure. I don't plan on buying an Amp for a while but I just bought a 5.5. Do I need anything other than the plain old Imod to use the headphone jack? And the headphone jack is Imodded right? I'mnotworthy! Well, that's that --- Unlike the 4th...- tom10167

I can't hear a difference between mp3 and Wav.
Using E500s, either straight from Audigy 2 on my PC or straight from my 2g Nano, but with no EQ, using Shure black rubber sleeves. Should I even bother with an amp and expensive IC? Will I notice anything? Feel like my E500s were a waste now. -
Looking for ultra-high quality music(fidelity)

Those with custom earbuds
Newbie here, just got my E500s today. I've been using the triflanges as they aren't very uncomfortable and they offer the best isolation. Problem with them is sometimes the sound is muffled and I have to adjust them, and they are uncomfortable, almost painful to put in my ears. How easy is...- tom10167

Anyone live in CT?
I live in Southern CT and I have E500s and I'm looking at a Tomahawk, selling my Nano and getting an Imod, cryo ALO etc. etc. but before spending another $600(!!!) I'd like to hear some similar setups personally and compare it to my Nano to see if it's worth it to me. I'd buy you lunch...- tom10167

ahaha just bought E500-PTH.
Here's my headphone history: Bought Nano - can't use earbuds because they fall out of my ear too often. Got some $30(which is seriously a lot of money for headphones) Sony behind-the-ear sport things, worked ok'ish until I accidentally tore the cord on them in a weird mishap. Did some...- tom10167

RP-HJE70 lost my rubber dome things.
Hi. New posted. :wave: lalala anyways, my bud ripped out of my ear and the stupid rubbery thing that seals in your ear snapped off the headphone and I lost it. Obviously I was smart enough to throw the small and large slipovers away, so they don't work too well now. I saw some...- tom10167
