    Ultimate Ears broke: Need to purchase decent IEM's from Canadian retail outlet for a trip

    I'm heading off on a month long trip and my daughter just broke my Ultimate Ears.  I will get them fixed when I return.    I've read a number of threads and searched the board looking for budget IEM's (and found the "Buying IEMs or ear buds or portable phones? DON'T START A NEW THREAD. Ask...

    Appropriate headphone type/style for bicycling

    I have UE Pro 5's and find them to be reasonable but not great for bicycling. In one sense they provide reasonable SQ because they block out some of the outside sound, but wind rush from riding still comes thru. Plus the seal is always being broken because of body and head movement. Also, I...

    David at Jaben

    I ordered some IEMs from him almost a month ago. Paypal payment was processed and he sent me a thank-you for the order email. I have yet to receive the phones and he has not returned 3 of my emails to him inquiring as to whether he shipped or not. Has anyone heard anything about David and Jaben...

    Wilson and Crossroad Mylar Ordering

    I can't proceed to the checkout on that website. I get a "The recipient of this shopping cart link is not an approved shopping cart user." msg from PayPal. I also emailed Wilson and no response. Is there a known issue here? Thanks, Bryan

    Ideal amp for EIMs, not can's.

    There is a thread about being underwhelmed with a ipdo, dlo, dedicated amp and iem's that I might have started. I read all of the responses and I think I get it. iem's do not respond to a dedicated amp compared a difficult load like can's. One of the replies in the thread stated that a CMOY amp...

    Does this happen often here?

    I got a PM from a new member with 0 posts with a brief msg saying, "Hi, I'm new here and just wanted to say Hi". What's up with that? Should I be concerned about being stalked? or is this normal, friendly head-fier cult stuff? Bryan

    Underwhelmed: ipod, DLO and dedicated amp - what to do about it?

    I was expecting pretty significant improvements bypassing the ipod amp and going with a dedicated amp via a dlo cable. The difference to me is too subtle considering I'm using a much better head amp. I do prefer it it to the onboard amp but it's more of a "this is easier on the ears" improvement...

    5g imod - $400 total cost - what about DIY?

    I think the math is roughly correct. $250 for the 5g imod and about $150 or so for an ALO cable comes to $400 out of my jeans. I think I understand some of the reasons why the 5g imod is going to cost more than a 4g, including the obvious one - we're forced to by a specific cable containing some...

    Tweaks for 5g ipod?

    Now that I have real fixed level line out with a good dock cable and a new dedicated head amp I'm really loving my portable rig. It sounds so much better than using the ipod headphone out. Besides using good quality s/w like lossless or upgrading my amp or IEMs, I'd like to know if there are...

    Robust Universal Belt Clip Attachment

    Are there any really good belt clip thingies (I'm sure there is a name for these maybe?) with the male knob 3M sticky tape you attach to the device and you clip in to the receiver that clips on your belt? Sorry for the awkward wording. I have one that seems to be for the cell phone market but it...

    ipod attenuation when using the dock line out

    Newbie basic question here folks. I would have thought that using a dock line out would disable the attenuation in the ipod but I can still change attenuation when I go out of the dock and in to a head amp. What’s happening here? Is the amp really disabled in the ipod but there is still some...

    Case/Pouch for 5g ipod and GoVibe amp

    I wasn't sure if I should post this question here or the accessory forum. Since there seems to be more activity on this forum maybe it's better this way. Just added an amp (govibe V6) and dock line out cable to my ipod and UE Pro 5 IEMs and I need a case or pouch with a belt clip. I like...

    Comparison of Go-Vibe V5 and V6?

    Has there been a well described comparision posted on this site between the two Go-Vibe models? Is there a link or some search hints? Or can someone post a reply to my post with their thoughts? And did Skylab ever post impressions of the V6 in his portable amp review thread? I noticed he...

    Amp that has good synergy with UE Pro 5 IEM's

    There are so many amps to choose from it boggles the mind. My budget would be at the very most, $150, and there has to be a good dozen amps that I could choose from but I have no clue which one(s) would work well with my Pro 5's. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. BTW, I'm leaning...
