I recently purchased a vaio pocket, and I'd like to take advantage of its ability to display album art with the album that is playing. My question is, do you know or use any site that has downloadable album covers for this purpose? I don't have a scanner (plus, that would be a lot of work), so...

Just need some input from you guys. About a week ago, my 3rd generation iPod (had it for about a year) stopped taking a charge. When I plug it into the charger, I get a battery icon on the screen that shows me that it won't charge. Now my question is, do you think it's just an old battery...

Let me first start by saying that I used to be 100% content with my E5's. It's just that something has changed. Let me explain. I previously had E3's before my E5's. I had to upgrade because I needed better bass response. The E5's and the E3's share a very similar house sound, laid back and...

Jet was pretty good, but The Vines, well, lets just say that was interesting. They came out, and sang about 6 terrible ballads in a row. Needless to say, they were literally booed off the stage. They finally came back 5-10 minutes (the lead singer mentioned that he was ill ) later and finished...

Just got my brand new CD3K's 30 minutes ago, and the thread title says it all. So this is what soundstage is like? I've never experienced this feeling of "space" with any of my headphones. I'm floored. Also, I don't find them bright at all (maybe my system has something to do with it). Very...

Hello! I've decided that I'd like to further explore my musical horizons (mainly listen to many variations of rock and hip-hop) with the purchase of a classical music CD. My question for all of you is, what classical album would you recommend for someone new to the genre? I'm looking for...

Hi! I plan to purchase a good majority of Led Zepplin in the near future. I can buy the first box set for an attractive price, however, I'm not sure if it's the best idea. The content for the price equals a great deal, but I'm worried about about sound quality. According to AMG (...

Well, i just got my 508.20 in the mail yesterday. However, when I opened up the cd tray, I found this small, circular, and removeable magnet attached to the center of the spinning device (don't know the exact name of it, but the portion that fits into the hole of a cd). I'd like to know what its...

Well, I plan to buy my new source sometime this month. As of now, I plan to buy a modded Music Hall CD-25. While I've heard this is a great redbook player for the money, I keep asking myself if I should jump on the SACD or DVD-A bandwagon. I really want to experience this "next step" in Hi-Fi...

OK, I know there is no such thing as a dumb question, but here's my attempt. How is a source (CD player) affected by an amp sound quality wise? Does the amp and the CD player "blend" together (ex. dark amp and bright source creates a more balanced sound) and produce a new sound? I'm assuming the...

First off, I apolagize if this thread is too closely related to DLeeWebb's thread. I considered posting in his thread, but I really wanted the responses that a new thread would hopefully get me. With that out of the way, I seem to have stumbled upon a little problem. I really enjoy my E3c's, but...

Life can be cruel sometimes. I've been patiently as well as eagerly waiting for the arrival of my E3c for a couple of weeks. Well, early this week/ late last week, I've developed an ear infection in my left ear. Mind you, I've never had one of these in my entire life. Of coarse I went to the...

Hello! I'm considering a purchase of a Zu Pivot mini to rca cable for use in a computer set up (soundcard to amp). Through my research of this future purchase, I've found that this cable isn't shielded. Will this create a situation where noise is more easily picked up through EMI and RFI? Or...
