I'm almost certain my vibez is actually dead, and it's a shame that it only worked for a few hours and I didn't even get a chance to listen to what it sounds like. It will soon be on the way for a refund ...

Hi, I'm thinking about getting a new mp3 player, and would like to get some advices from you guys on this mp3 player. I've read some reviews, and seems the major highlight of this player is its sound quality. However, I'm not sure if it is worth $220. I mean, a Ipod 30G only costs $10...

The interconnect has been a problem for me. If I choose to take either of these two amps, I need to find a cable which has 2 1/4'' plugs in one end, and a mini connect in the other. And I doubt there is gonna be anyone making this sort of cable. Is there anyone who's got a EMU 0404 connected...

Hi, I've got two questions: 1. which amp of the above to get to pair with HD650? Do they sound totally different but both really nice? If so, I might consider getting both! 2. what interconnect to use to connect the amp to a M-Audio audiophile 192 soundcard, which's got a pair of 1/4''...

Is there online dealer for this one or I have to get it from high-street shop. If so, anyone who's dealing it? And how much is it here? I've heard from different people about very different prices, and just need to confirm it with your guys. Lastly, is is worthwhile to add some extra quid to...

Hi, I'm also pretty much at the position of choosing a decent soundcard solution for my PC. I'm just wondering if a combination of a great PCI soundcard with a dedicated headphone amp will beat a portable USB/Firewire products given not considering the price factor. Also, in terms of just...

Would a good headphone amplifier solve my problem here? If so, please recommend one for me. Thanks a lot.
