Sorry for the double post - the only solution I've found so far is to bump up to the next size in the Pelican lineup - the 1400, which gives another 2" of horizontal room, and takes 1" from the height - which should give the cord more room to breathe, which keeping the headphones more securely...

Hi everyone. I posted this in the full size headphone forum as well - wasn't sure which one was more appropriate.   I haven't been on here much lately, but I've run into a snag with my portable rig and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.   I have a pair of Terminator...

Hi everyone.   I haven't been on here much lately, but I've run into a snag with my portable rig and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.   I have a pair of Terminator V4 Darth Beyers that I've been taking to work every day for the past 6 months, along with a RSA...

Hi there.   I've got my main portable rig all sorted out nicely (WhipMod->WhipLOD->RSA SR71A->Terminator (V4) Darth Beyers. Very, VERY happy with the results.   But now I need a tiny auxiliary rig for exercising. I'll be using the Sansa Clip+, and - to keep it small - I don't think I'll...

I've heard (used to own) the E5, and currently own both the E7 and E11. The amp in the E11 is much better than both the E5 (which was anemic and caused a lot of background hissing) and the E7 (which I now only use with the laptop for the DAC).   As I understand it, the E6 is an update of the...

Interesting...  

@Syan25,   Just wanted to say that I've just ordered an SR-71A from Ray today - let's hope my experience is as good as yours has been!

The ATH M-50 was fine for what it does. And it's still in use as my go to "watching something on youtube" choice. It does respond well to amping from both the FiiO E7 and, much more so, the E11.   As for the current amp choice, I pulled the trigger on the RSA SR-71A today after a quick...

Thank you - both - for weighing in, I really do appreciate it.   The more I look at portable amps, the more it's becoming clear that I may need to go with the RSA SR-71A. Initially I was scared away by the price tag, and later the 9v battery thing made me dismiss it - but it really is...

{crickets}   Is there anyone who can help?

Hi there.   I've been steadily upgrading my portable setup since I started here, and I've recently come to a very happy point where everything is sounding really good.   Right now I'm running a Whiplash Audio modded iPod classic (5.5, with the Wolfson chip), using a Whiplash TWAg LOD...

Yeah, no e-mail for me either way - but I'm glad that at least some of the people who won will put the headphones to good use.   I really had no idea what I was going to do with a pair if I won - most of my friends and family have already been gifted with decent headphones during my personal...

Quote: On topic: Yup, X3 - go FiiO!   OK, now that's out of the way...   Yeah, I would only go for the 5/5.5g - for the Wolfson chip and the storage space. For me personally, there's a negative gut reaction to Apple products (hence the Android phone in my pocket and the PC...

Don't worry about it - I stuck my own foot in my mouth, can't really blame anyone else!   Thanks for the suggestion. I'm actually thinking about a WhipMod/iMod/DIYmod now. It makes sense, since the 32gb micro sd card I ordered for the Rockboxed Sansa Clip+ arrived today - and is, in fact...

Wow, is that embarrassing. I really have no idea where I got it in my head that the classic was touch screen - of course it isn't! I know it isn't. I can see the design in my head plain as day, and it clearly isn't. I think it's because I tried an iPod touch about a year ago and was supremely...

Sorry to go off topic on this thread, but I really can't wait for the X3 to be released.   In the last month my upgrade fever has ALMOST allowed me to pull the trigger on an ipod classic 5.5 (before remembering how much I hate touchscreen controls) and a hifiman 601 (before hearing too much...

I just think it's funny that the OP's last post was way back on page 2 - and that was to apologize because we (naturally) thought he was trolling.   I'm in the same boat as many, though. When I'm browsing the FS section I don't even pause at the sub $100 cans anymore.   Sigh.

I'm in

OK, I know that I'm still fairly new here at Head-Fi, and I don't know quite how to put this without sounding like some corporate shill - or worse - some lame attempt at "viral marketing"... ugh.   Nevertheless, there's this new game for XBLA called "Bastion" that I hadn't heard ANYTHING...

I think someone's being funny...

Danchou,   First, your English is fine - much better, in fact, than many I know for whom English is their first language (myself included)!   That said, it really sounds to me like this isn't necessarily an issue that can - or should - be solved by strangers on an internet forum. I think...

You know, there's something to that. I think a meet in PDX sounds like a lot of fun - but perhaps after our modest "hot weather" has passed.   No one likes sweat on the ear pads!   Quote:   Quote:  

I'm in if anything comes together. Would love to go to the Seattle meet, but I'm working a graveyard shift that night!

Quote: Heh, just browsing through and saw this. Larry's making my V4 (Terminator) Darth Beyers now. Can't wait!   Sorry to threadjack - back to regularly scheduled discussion...  

Will be ordering mine on Monday! Really looking forward to it.
