Ahhhh how did I miss this!!!!

I built my own Cmoy as my first budget amp. Still use it fairly regularly with my laptop and my iPhone 4. It's not all that hard to build and they have new plans for better builds that are supposed to be easier to do to.  I'm not all that great at soldering and I was new to the whole DIY stuff...

As much as I love iTunes for lots of things, even the store is nice with the podcasts and other things. But I acquire my music else where. If I'm looking for something the store is a great locator and you can even save samples of the music your looking for by dragging it to a playlist. I really...

jweather, just like qusp suggested you can use apple lossless but you need to get encoded from the original source, the CD you bought. I would suggest using a better encoder program. My choice is dBpoweramp. Using iTunes to rip doesn't work well. In my personal experience you find chips and...

What he has albums!!! What has the World come too......and I a huge sci-fi fan

my first portable rig

I remember when they didn't even offer Led Zeppelin! I was so happy when they did get it! Course that was before.......

Have you tried out any Grado's yet?

Is this he predator with out the DAC? The Predator is on my want list. I saw the review on the P-51 and it rated higher than the Predator based on Amp only but I really want/need a DAC too. Although I was considering the Pico, about the same price point and size.

Cmoy mini amp parts from digikey. $88 bucks worth for two.

Get a Vitamix (Grado GS-1000 grade blender) and blend organic greens in with bananas and other fruit. You'll get all the vitamins, minerals, fiber, and photofactors that vitamins don't generally have. Infact you can use it as food for up to 6mos and get super health, loose weight, purge yourself...

Thanks for the X-mass present! I'm going to get some new cans! W00t

I have a Leopard Gecko, not all that exotic really. Simplest pet I've every owned. Keeping the cricket alive is the hard part.

Try the DIY Cmoy for fun, gives some insight into what goes into better amps as you get the upgradis fever! On the cheap too!

I like my Koss PortaPro's I bought through Amazon for 32.99 sounded better than the Grado SR-80's but not the 125's. Of course they are open on the ear and people will hear, but really you've really got to be loud for it to bug people! Open will sound better than closed in at that price range too.

I've been looking for a new phone too but nothing looks very good in SQ really. I wish the iPhone was more up to the job. Sad that Apple skimps on Audio Quality when so many musicians use their equipment.

I now store all my music on a portable harddrive. Can you upgrade your space at all? I never did like WMP, I like Media Monkey but it was a bit confusing and I found Foobar 2000, but it's a little complicated too. I haven't found any other way to transfer.

I have converted FLAC to Apple LossLess using dBpoweramp converter with out any troubles on my XP laptop. Just takes a little time to set in up just like anything else. I use the dBpoweramp to make FLAC and Apple Lossless from albums too. Very happy with it.

The D2 is flash only but the sound is supposed to be the best next to a really overly complicated Kenwood who's help instruction and forum are in Japanese. The D2 come with up to 16Gigs on board, plus the flash you don't seem to want to use. Why? No moving parts is good and you can get...

Good job! Unfortunately mine is dead as a door-nail. I tried to switch default boot back to iTunes. The instructions said to simply shut down and connected it to the computer. It is so dead that resets don't work and iTunes doesn't connect to it. and of course it won't even turn on in either...

I feel your pain, I did the same and it totally killed mine. I'm keeping it out of the way till the battery totally dies, when I hope to reserect it (using iTunes again). Rockbox bits in my opinion now. The good part is now I think I will upgrade my portable! Cowon D2 sounds pretty good this...

Would this work on a PC with firewire?

sweet! Thanx
