Decisions, decisions. Sigh.....

EXCELLENT!! Thanks dude!

I do agree it's a good mod. [note to self: must remove quotation marks from the word mod next time]

Longer battery life = lower (non-digital) sound output Sony's work maxim you think?

Oops one more question. Can the HD600 be driven from portable sources with the aid of the porta corda?

Quote: Originally posted by KR... you are going to use your HD600 as your portable can? I'm not sure, but I don't think it is convenient to whip out the HD600 and to store it back later. Besides, my commute is only about 10mins each way, so for this purpose my EX70 should...

First question: Porta Corda + HD600. Due to a budget, this is what I can afford at the moment. What do you guys think? Jan quoted me a price of US$360, which I think is very reasonable indeed. One more question: leaving portability and isolation aside, which is the better headphone: Etys...

Thanks guys for all your inputs. I am much obliged. Anyway I managed to buy the E955 for $330 AUD (185 $US) brand new thanks to the end of financial year sale. That's $50 australian dollar cheaper than retail. So I'm happy!

Quote: Originally posted by purk Oh, you can pick up the V6 and that could solve the problem as well. Purk. What's a V6? Sounds like a car lol!

Would you recommend Sony? My fav at the moment: http://www.sonystyle.com.au/products...&prodid=DEJ955 Next target: Ety-ER4s with amp

I've found the equaliser plug-in for winamp, and have configured it. But I couldn't load it. How do I activate the file? I tried Preset->load but it didn't work. Help? [EDIT] - never mind I got it to worked on MP3s. Doesn't work on CD on MIDI though.

Sigh... I bought the EX70 just for starters. Still breaking it in. I wanna try the Ety mod but I'm not sure where to download the equaliser. Any ideas?

Do I need an amp? And what's a good value amp?

Isolation? Yes! Sydney trains can be really noisy (heck I've missed so many mobile calls because of it). I pretty much listen to everything besides country and hard-rock. I use headphone when I play games sometimes too.

5 days ago my JVC street-style headphone broke. So I started to do research to get a new one. And thank god for internet - I'm finally here! Been doing a lot of surfing in the forums to get an understanding of the names of the 'goodies'. Seems like you guys/gals are very much in favour...
