    If you still love Etymotic ER4, this is the thread for you...

    What would you guys say is the best aftermarket cable option for the ER4 headphones? I'm looking to convert my ER4PTs into the ER4S as well as also reduce the horrible microphonics. I'm not interested in %100 silver or stuff like that.

    Fred_fred's 12AU7 Starving Student PCB, Need Parts List

    So I purchased a starving student PCB a long time ago from the member Fred_fred2004 and unfortunately I do not have enough free time or knowledge to go through the 400+ page original thread of this headphone amplifier. Can somebody with experience building one using this PCB tell me exactly...

    Found a 2nd hand iPod Video 5th Gen. To buy or not to buy...

    In my opinion it's not really worth it unless you'll be putting more money into the Classic. I bought my 30gb 5th gen for $50 and I'm kind of regretting it. I'd only use a harddrive based player if it offered superior storage space compared to flash players and with those capacities available I...

    Schiit Magni Headphone Amplifier

    This could be my setup after I get my DT770 250 ohm headphones, I'd love to hear somebody's opinion on how well the headphones pair with the amp and dac.

    Best headphones for a student under 200$

    I'me in the same exact situation myself, I've had my eyes on the Beyerdynamic DT770 headphones for a while now, I recommend you look into them.

    DIY USB Charger (Can even charge an iPad)

    Can anybody recommend the most optimal battery config using 1.2v rechargeable batteries? Would using 4 to create 4.8v be sufficient for a 5v charger?

    DIY USB Charger (Can even charge an iPad)

    I'd love to see something like this except instead of using an expensive 9v how about some rechargeable 1.2v AAs?

    S.M.S.L, what can you tell me about them?

    I've been looking around for quite some time for an audio solution for my desktop (Amp+Dac) that won't leave my wallet empty again but will provide much superior audio. I've been looking around and a Chinese company named S.M.S.L caught my attention. Their audio products seemed to be exactly...

    Samsung Galaxy S Sound Quality

    Just google comparisons of your sony player to some Cowon devices or others, and then read about the GS's comparison to the Cowon's or whatever.

    Samsung Galaxy S Sound Quality

    Quote: I might be making the same mistake as you right now but I remember hearing the 5.0 being based off of the GS II so it is very likely that it has the Yamaha DAC inside of it. The one found inferior to the Wolfson DAC that as you know, everybody loves.

    Cheap upgrade from Galaxy S?

    Fuze and clip sound almost the same, I have both. The GUI and build quality of the Fuze makes my Clip+ collect dust. However I must warn you that when it comes to driving headphones, the Sansa's are not very good. Still, a great choice if you are looking for a player within that price range.

    Cheap upgrade from Galaxy S?

    The SGS's sound quality is far superior than anything that Sansa is selling right now. I'd say any player that's an upgrade from the SGS is the RoCoo and the HiFi-Man players. Neither will give you the GUI that the Android OS has.

    Homemade Computer Speakers

    OP, seeing as how the speakers aren't very sensitive and will require power to sound their best, stay away from the Lepai. I have it and it sound marvelous after a few modifications but only for very sensitive speakers. They output power on the amplifier is just too low for your needs.  ...

    DIY amp full kit recommendations: <$120, max 60 watts per channel

    I have the lepai TA2020A+ and it is a massive bang for the buck. The reason why the amplifier is only $25 is because they cheaped out on many of the parts, Spend $20 on the amplifier, a much better power supply ($15), and find a guide online including the parts that you can buy to upgrade the...

    A phone that doesn't suck

    Not saying it's a better option, but any of the Galaxy S phones (Not S2) have superb sound quality after you take a few minutes to install a kernel with the voodoo sound enhancement.

    Cheap upgrade from Galaxy S?

    There's nothing CHEAP that can compare to the SGS's sound quality after the voodoo enhancement.

    Samsung galaxy s 4g line out

    I have the same phone as you OP, the SGS 4G for T-Mobile. With the voodoo kernel the sound is very clean and I recommend you follow the posted guide above on how to config voodoo for an amplifier. I use mine with my Cmoy and the sound is absolutely fantastic!

    Samsung Galaxy S Sound Quality

    I'm using the stock Gingerbread ROM however using a kernel that is very close to stock, just with the voodoo lagfix which should include voodoo sound and a few other tweaks. For battery life, performance, and the closest thing I can get to vanilla Gingerbreak, what ROM's do you guys suggest? I'm...

    Samsung Galaxy S Sound Quality

    Just got my mom's Galaxy S 4G after she upgraded to the S2 and I must say with the Voodoo kernel the phone sounds better than it did stock. Only problem is now I'm forced to carry an additional battery with me as the battery life with the kernel is very poor.

    Pictures Of Your Portable Rig (part XV)

    That Palics jack to jack is BEAUTIFUL! I actually have the same Palics plug unused somewhere. It looks so beautiful in my opinion that I'm still waiting to hear a pair of headphones worthy of a recable with that plug :p   Will upload pics of my rig after my Cmoy parts come in.

    Review by 'GeneralSmirnoff' on item 'Panasonic RP-HTF600-S Step Monitor'

    This is my second pair of great headphones that i bought for $30, the first was a pair of refurbished Senheiser HD 428 headphones that I feel cannot even compete with these. Lets just say before we start with the review I do not grade my headphones based on other headphones ($500+) but rather...

    I need some "solid" headphones

    I'm looking to buy my first serious pair of headphones. What I meant by solid is just in general a solid pair of headphones. With all of the new headphones unveiled at CESI'm wondering if there's something new that fits my needs.     Budget: $100-$175. I can go all the way to $200 but...
