I'm looking at getting a snowboard, but I don't know which ones are good. I've only been snowboarding a couple times before, and both times were several years ago. I also don't plan on going more than a few times a season, so I'm looking at the lower end boards - but, I still want to get...

When looking for an alarm program yesterday, I happened to stumble on this program called PC-Com. It's a small but really powerful program that runs in the bottom right of the taskbar (I can never remember what that's called), and it's really changed how I'm using my computer. Haha, I sound like...

I'm about to sell a bunch of audio gear (about 10 things) that I've been collecting over the past couple years. The problem is that I purposefully avoid every forum but the members lounge now, so I'm completely out of the loop on current prices, current models, etc (and since people often remove...

If possible, pleast post all world cup related thoughts in this thread. So who else thought the US got pretty lucky today? Can they finally score some goals next game against Ghana?

A guy at my school is selling a marantz cc65se 5-disc cd player for $40. I know absolutely nothing about these, but I thought it might be a case of someone not knowing what they're selling. I couldn't find any reviews online, so do any of you know about it or can give me an idea if this is a...

I bought one of those adapters that plug into the headphone jack of the ipod and the other side is a blank 'cassette' that you stick in the car stereo to play the ipod in the car. I wasn't expecting it to be crystal clear, but the sound reproduction is bordering on awful. Is there a...

These ety clones were announced a while ago, but they are finally for sale. I thought I saw a review somewhere that wasn't so positive, but I don't remember where it was. Anyway, there are some good prices on pricegrabber http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_g...0&search=im716 So who wants...

They're no longer available at audiocubes, and I can't find them anywhere else on the net. Is there any way to get them now? If they are discontinued, does anyone know if they will be sold again?

I've got a bunch (probably ~80 cds) of aac files. Is there any way to get these over to mp3 without them sounding like complete crap? Basically I was stupid and ripped a bunch of cds into 224 AAC, and I don't have the ability to re-rip them. I know there's no 'good' way, but anyone have...

Since it will probably be a couple weeks before professional cases for the nano are available, I was wondering how to protect my nano in the meantime. I'm sure that the nano is the same as the rest of the metal-backed ipods in that a scratch will appear even if you look at it the wrong way, so a...

My 325i's are my main headphones, but I use my sr80's sometimes because they're lighter and easier to deal with. I especially like that they end in a 1/8" plug, and the metal casing just gets too heavy sometimes. I just bought some 225's to replace my sr80's, but I'm pretty sure these end in...

EAC never worked on my old computer, so I always used a different program to rip cds. I set it up on my new computer, but for some reason it keep ripping cds to the wrong bitrate. I set it to mp3 w/lame at 224kbps. The first time I ripped a cd (a couple weeks ago), of the 17 songs, 12 were...

I currently have a portaphile v2 and like it a lot. I've heard much praise for the sm v3, though, and have been thinking about upgrading. I really don't have much reason to upgrade, but I have to say the switches are alluring. I just ordered some er4p's, mainly out of curiosity, so I think the...

I have a bunch of music ripped into AAC by itunes. All files are just the song title, and apparently the aac tag has all the info. For some reason it doesn't write id3 tags. Can aac files hold them? I need to convert all this music into mp3 format. I know, transcoding blah blah blah - I don't...

I just finally ripped Sgt. Pepper's by the Beatles, and all the vocals are on one side, and all (or at least most) of the instruments are on the other side. While it's kind of 'neat' at first, it makes the music unenjoyable. Is this the 'binaural' recording I have heard about? It's too bad...

edit: nevermind, I misread something I saw earlier. But, if anyone can compare the two, somehow, I would appreciate it. Especially if they can describe the treble.

On my ebay account, how do you Remove a paypal account from being associated with an ebay name? I can probably witch paypal accounts, or delete the paypal account, but I don't want to do that. I want to keep both, just separate them. Anyone know how to do that?

I'm trying to convert my FLACs to AAC, and dbpoweramp gives me several different choices. Should I convert them to aac or mp4 (or something else)? I converted a bunch to mp4, but for some reason it's showing nero as the default player, even though I just installed itunes. Am I doing something...

What are the best cases that will fit on the 60gigger? I believe it's the same size as the old 40gb version, too. I want it to be a minimalist as possible, and it needs to have a space at the bottom to access the...slot thing, to use a ram din. This means I don't want a vaja case, or any...

I'm in a situation where I'm considering a 60gb ipod photo. I know, it's blasphemy, but the portable line out and extra space has got me considering becoming a lemming. Anyway, does anyone have an idea of when the 5g's are going to come out? Right now I'm only considering ipod photos since...

I saw an ad for an ipod photo 60gb for $250 and figured it was a scam (or someone was selling stolen products), but decided to check it out. Upon receiveing this response, it seems even more like a scam. However, I don't really understand western union, how it works, buyer protection, or even...

Question has been answered. thanks for looking.

I know some people hate buy.com, but $80 and then $5 off coupon. Pretty good deal. http://www.buy.com/retail/product.as...54&dcaid=17654 Edit: apparently the $5 off coupon no longer works. just stick with the one above, unless you can get a new $5 off coupon

I'm looking to get some better speakers for my honda civic. I've had various car audio experience in the past, but I think I have much more discerning ears than I used to. So, can anyone tell me some good car speakers, or something that I should look into? My car has 4 6 1/2" speakers only, and...

I've got a resistor that's supposed to lower the volume by 25db. Anyone have a guess as to how many ohms the resistor is? Does anyone know a spl for how much the volume is lowered with any resistor?
