Maybe I'm thinking way too simplisticly about this, and maybe some of our more tech-savvy members can help out, (Tangent ??), but... Shouldn't it be possible to simply jumper around the volume pot in a pcdp that has only a HP-out jack - in order to bypass the cheap factory pot? I realize...

I guess I could sum this up as "nothing ventured nothing gained", and thanks to the advice/hints from my friends at H-F. My panny pcdp, actually a pdvdp, the dvd-pa65, had started to skip badly! It was driving me crazy! Thought it was one cd (EC&BB) w/scratches or something. I polished that...

I was one of the losers... The thing is - it was NOS, in the box, never used before - although how that managed to happen is an intriguing question. btw, "whomever"?

Alright, I've tried to hold out, but my curiosity has really gotten the best of me! You know who you are! @$167+

akira - This has been noted before by templeboy on 3/24/02, thread: "two 'new' tube headphone amps". Replies are complete with translations. The man also does Marshall, (and other), guitar amp mod's. But checking out some guitar/musician-oriented sites, I have found some people very...

Dear "Sniggy" - Aren't those the ones where you simply have to strip away about 1/8" of insulation from around the bottom,(= neg.) end of the battery, (regular AAA/nimh), to enable it to be charged like the offical panny batt's?

Not sure this is altogether the "right " forum for this msg., but this is the forum I go to the MOST, and I want to do someone a favor - (Right! and Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!). Anyway, we're all concerned here about PCDP's, and what does that "cd" stand for?... There has been a...

zeplin - So sorry to hear about your accident; now I'm getting nervous! Please check out the thread: "I broke my Ety 4 - Please Help !!!" by Ari. He had the exact same problem. Unfortunately, not everyone will be able to take advantage of his particular- -type of solution. If...

Can only wholeheartedly agree w/ Vertigo. Re: my thread of 12/05/02, "Ety's have NO BASS!!" They lack a sense of (bass) balance, w/ the rest of the audio-spectrum, imo. The proportions just aren't right, somehow. If by "most accurate", one means the ability to reproduce the musical event...

Thanks, wallijonn - have to do some searching to see if anyone has tried that HA-4 amp! kyr - of course "it" (impedance) "does something", otherwise the value would be meaningless, so why bother to include it as a spec.? Presumably impedance is somehow going to affect the sound of the...

Duncan, I can't help you with your question, (wish I could!), but perhaps another question that is (hopefully) related... As with my 990's, what is the point/purpose of the 600ohm "thing"??? What does "it" do? What is it good for? (as opposed to 80ohm, for eg.) If you're talking...

So, this is how I'll get to 100+... Mac, I do (honestly) appreciate the graph - but when I put my ear against the screen, or even after pulling out my 4P's and showing them the graph, I still don't hear any more bass! There was a joke(?) that ended with the punchline, "Who are you going...

Mac, So what you're saying is that what I'm missing is that little air-sound-pocket pounding on&around my pinnae, that I get with regular cans? (Think pants-flapping, in the real world.) How much more visceral can 'phones be? And the bass that I hear w/my 990's is really not...

Thanks, guys. Hey, don't get me wrong. The ety's are great at what they do - and they do that extremely well. Not to mention just about the ultimate in portability, low-profile (on-the -job) hehe, not nearly expensive-looking enough to steal, etc... But that freq. resp. curve on the ety...

Look, I really don't want to make a whole big thing about this, but Ety's have NO BASS!! (or at least not very much...) Got my 4P's a few months back, along with the 4S adapter, (which I never use for obvious reasons!) Have also had my maxed-out meta42, (buffered Class A, no input caps...

Onix, The way I read it, the analog output is digital, yes, but COAXIAL, not Optical. In this way it would be similar to the optimus 3400 of old. Obviously, it has a lot more going for it than that! Digital volume sounds cool... I started a thread on the 28th re: a Koss player that plays...

Andrew, I would bet that the jack(socket) is user-replaceable, assuming you have a small enough screwdriver to open the case. If it is just coming loose, you might even be able to fix it. It's a shame whan solder is "designed" to create a physical connection as well as to enable an...

When I mentioned that this unit is "imported", it was only by way of pointing out that it isn't made by Koss, (as are presumably some of the "good things", [imagine they do make some good things], that they sell). If I buy something from sony or pana. for example, I of course know that it is...

As per the info I neglected to mention, this item is "imported" - made in (3rd world country of your choice). Almost all of the 6 reviews were positive, and most were fairly to very positive. If there's no line-out, forget it!

Wish I were competent enough to provide a link for you all, but the only way I know is to copy the URL and put that in my thread to provide a link. The url is just too darn long! Anyhow, dept. store, Target, the only source I know, (incl. Koss website), has a little player on sale for $89...

After doing a quick search on "sony" + "AP20U", the first 2 hits, "dcviews" & "maccentral", provided a wealth of info... There is NO line-out, only H.P.-out. There is no video-out. Dvd movies can only be viewed on a computer. The Mac site reiterates that one will be able to view dvd video...

Am wondering if anyone has any good ideas to share re: replacemant of ailing cable on my Beyer dt990. Right channel starting to go - a break right in the area of the strain relief. Figure I'll go w/ a new 1/4 inch plug as well. Any ideas or experience on good replacement wire/cable and...

Does anyone know how to go about getting a piece of the change from the record industry's $multi-Meg$ payback for price-fixing CD prices?

Markus Jaeger of www.Ansmann.de informs me that the 2000mah nimh AA has an internal resistance of "about 20 mOhms". Forgot to ask him about the i.r. of the 1800/1600mah batt's. The charger will charge up to 2300mah, (if you have the latest production model). Is 20mOhm considered "low"? Is...

Thanks "guys"! (imagine there must be some girls on this site?) Anyway, found all of your info/suggestions very helpful, and courtesy of blr's mention of Ansmann chargers, surfed my way over to www.nexusAmerica.com , where I found Ansmann 1800/1600mah (and the new!) 2000mah AA. Also the...
