Ipod classic - rockbox - its happening.
Quote: Correct on all counts! 5Gs were slightly thicker, and obviously look quite different; the older Classic 160GB is chubby, yes; if yours is 120GB it's 2G; if your dad's is 80GB it's 1G. The gap between 80GB/160GB and 120GB only might have been quite small, especially...- UnWeave

Ipod classic - rockbox - its happening.
Quote: It's kind of a muddle, because people talk about 6G and 7G Classics, despite there being 3 revisions (1G, 2G, 3G, as in my earlier post). As an attempt to answer your question, this is how the RB team do it: all iPod Classics are 6Gs, often referred to only as the "iPod...- UnWeave

Ipod classic - rockbox - its happening.
Quote: Not to be a nit-pick but the 2G is definitely 120GB only (I know, cos I have one ).- UnWeave

Ipod classic - rockbox - its happening.
Quote: The Rockbox team refer to the latest model as the Classic 3G. For anyone else who's wondering, it goes as: Classic 1G (80GB slim, 160GB fat) Classic 2G (slim, 120GB only) Classic 3G (same size as 2G, 160GB only) They're all pretty much the same, though, and the...- UnWeave

Ipod classic - rockbox - its happening.
Ohhhh, this is awesome news. My 120 has been semi-retired since it started randomly skipping to the next track if I didn't set the backlight to always on, and so now the battery life sucks. Looks like I don't need to keep waiting for a 100GB+ flash-based alternative to hit the market after all :D.- UnWeave

Cowon X7 this summer!
Quote: The size (as in capacity) of an individual NAND-flash chip has to be a power of two, but SSDs use more than one chip per drive, so you may end up with a capacity not a power of two. 80GB, for example, might be 10*8GB. Adding 5 more chips would give you the 120GB version. I...- UnWeave

Best portable CD player for Classical Music?
You're probably better of doing a search in the portable amps forum, and asking there if you still don't know. To keep it cheap, I'd recommend a CMoy amp. You can make your own (requires soldering etc.), or you can buy them on eBay for around $35 + shipping.- UnWeave

Ipod has a bad habit. Help!
I'm afraid you're probably SOL. Mine does that (skips to the next track for no reason). I first tried re-encoding tracks, then a restore. Also tried using a different format (FAT32 instead of HFS, since I have both Macs and Windows computers available). Nothing. So, gave it a Google and...- UnWeave

UK Members: Sennheiser IE8's £134.99 @ Play.com
Well I checked the IE7 page back when the first person (on this thread) said that they hadn't got any accessories with their 8, and it definitely listed everything. I don't remember seeing 'basic range' anywhere; it certainly wasn't in the item's title. Looks like play.com slipped up pretty bad...- UnWeave

what's the current hotness for burn in? (skeptics need not enter)
Most people seem to go with either pink noise or actual music, perhaps a bit louder than you'd normally listen at and with the bass EQ'd up. Of the few decent cans I've had, I actually preferred letting the burn-in happen as I listened. That way you get to experience the change - which is...- UnWeave

UK Members: Sennheiser IE8's £134.99 @ Play.com
Quote: Just actually looked the DSR up properly. There are some exceptions, but you are perfectly correct; I was actually quite surprised at how pro-consumer it is. It's going to make deciding whether or not to drop the cash a heck of a lot easier, though (and I suspect a lot of cash will...- UnWeave

got the Etymotic HF5, is the MC5 superior ?
In the UK, I can get the HF5 for just over £70 and the HF2 for just under, both from Amazon (yes, the mic'd version is slightly cheaper!) The only place I can find the MC5 has them for £55. My original budget was about £120 anyway, so the extra £15 isn't really a problem. I know these are pretty...- UnWeave

Panasonic CZs (HJE900) Appreciation Thread and Pending Review
Thanks for the replies. During the interim I actually came across someone asking the same question in one of the other HJE900 threads I hadn't previously found. Seems to vary a bit depending on the person, but the majority say it's fine unless you really want to avoid any ambient noise. I just...- UnWeave

Panasonic CZs (HJE900) Appreciation Thread and Pending Review
I'm looking to get some new IEMs, for commuting mainly, and these are on my shortlist. However, isolation is important and having read through this thread and a few other reviews, I'm not sure if they quite cut it. FWIR, most people pitch them at average or poor in this respect. I don't...- UnWeave
