How?   Quote:  

Old school KPOP fans may have heard of Bada.  I really like her voice.  Here some videos, they are not the best quality but you have to hear her voice on mp3 or CD to really appreciate it.  She does have an amazing voice.  I'm not a fan of her fast paced music, but her ballad skills are just...

Hopefully reasonable prices.  I'm loving how there is more choice in choosing customer mfrs.

What ripples are you talkin about?  Can you explain, and also how it changes the FR?  Thanks.   Quote:  

Does the impedance adaptor at the output reduce the gain of the amplifier thus reducing the hiss?  If so, how is that done?  I do now know how adaptor reduces hiss to sensitive IEMs such as the ER4P

Typically, laptop sound card(even desktop) has alot of noise because the sound card is integrated on the motherboard.  The motherboard has a lot of conductor paths, and conduction or current flow causes induction or magnetics which induces current or signal on nearby circuit such as the sound...

^It is his/her source.  Headphones don't cause hiss.  Headphones only react to signals being sent to it.

Actually, it is not the IEM at fault.  It is the source that is causing it.  All my IEMs are sensitive like SE535.  I prefer sensitive IEMs over others becasue sensitive IEMs will have maximum sound presentation without external amping.  W3 for example will not sound to it's potential straight...

Shure is more efficient or sensitive IEM than W3.  SE535 has sensitivity of 119 which is pretty high for IEM compared to W3.  Notice W3 need to be turned up the volume more than SE535?  Hiss is noise, and it will be amplified just like the audio signal.  Amplfiers have a multiplying factor of...

Maybe people are reading too much into the lyrics.  If it is in fact a poke fun at another artist because of possible plagerism, maybe it is warranted.  I don't know.  But if it is out of bitterness for personal attack, and the lyrics are derived from that, it's pretty much garbage IMO.  I...

This should be one of those questions that should be asked in the science forum where people with the big egos will go in circle to infinity.  Just like the cables and jitter discussions that been going on since the the start of Head-Fi.

Y'all could do a charge back so that somebody will not make this mistake again.  I wonder If JH will not refund because they do not have have the funds anymore??  They probably spend all y'all's money.   I think charge back is warranted.  I'm glad I'm not dealing with this issue. Who ever bought...

Lets gets some Asian voices in here.    

Utada Hikaru.  I was introduced to by a friend way back.  I really liked her slight shaky voice, and of course her looks.  I like this kinda Japanese music.  Her MVs are very interesting to watch.  Is this old school?  Is this what you would call JPOP?    Notice, she has on edition 9 on the vid.

This stuff is insane.  I just think it's interesting performance to say the least.   Cliffs of Dover is always interesting to listen to.

Most Japanese music that are memorable to me are from Anime Classics, when I cared about Anime.  Japan rocked back in these days.    

IMO, those are not lyrics.  Those are words of a bitter person.   Music lyrics should not be so bitter sounding, or sound like an attack.  It's very immature. Tablo came from Cali, USA.  He does not understand Korean culture.  He thinks what he is doing justice or what ever.  He's trying what...

@wind You want underground K-rap?  You asked for it.  Epik High worships this guy.  I'm not into this stuff, I'll just listen to American rap before this crap.  It tries too hard to sound similar to American rap.  That's why I don't like it.  

This song sounds eerily familiar to this song, which is sound track to City Hunter Korean Drama.   I like the song by DAI.   Quote:  

Lim Jeong Hee, pay attention to the sound.  I don't know if it is the recording or her voice.  It sounds wonderful though.  I listen to her over and over again on Hi-Fi system.     This is Navi, her voice is amazingly recorded also.  Just listen, you'll hear what I'm saying.  ...

I think Korean music is more accepting of hip-hop and R&B because korean music is not only expressive vocally but also visually, facial expressions.  Korean music has absorbed R&B because of it's expressive nature, and rap because of the lyrical expressiveness.  Koreans are generally expressive...

This Album is recorded very well, I was amazed at the SQ.

X-Japan, Endless Rain.  This is what Japanese music is all about.  It has originality to it, and it is not because of the metal influence.  It has it's distinct Asian music feel to it.    

I personally enjoy KPOP, and notice it's uniqueness in a good way.  Yes, there are korean indy rock bands, but to me they all seam very pretentous, not original to the culture.  I feel that modern KPOP is result of what they have absorbed from American music and came up with something of their...
