iPod AutoSync Question/Help
I bought my son a nano for Christmas and have been loading songs on it. When I set up iTunes on my PC (XP), I did the standard set up which included auto syncing. It is my understanding that if I now hook up the nano to any other computer, I will lose all the songs. Is this becasue I had the...- falcogreg

Try Again: Need Help With Wireless Reccommendations
I currently have a pair of Senn's hdr40's. Unfortunately, they have no range whatsoever. Even when I'm within a few feet I still have interference. Forget walking out of the room or even out of eyesight. Very disappointed with these. Does anyone have alternative suggestions? I'm not worried too...- falcogreg

If anyone doubts break-in, then you're....
If you go back to my original post and re-read it, I made a point of stating that I didn't listen to the headphones after my initial listening out of the box for a couple of hours until they had over 200 hours on them.

If anyone doubts break-in, then you're....
When I bought my pair of DT880's, I listened to them for a couple of hours. Let's just say I was underwhelmed. Too bright, little bass, no detail and very uninvolving. I decided to burn them in for 200 hours before I listened to them again. I didn't want to have the"psychological" effect kick...- falcogreg

Buying DT880s, questions...
If I can add my $.02, why don't you email toddthevinyljunkie? He will price match and has them in stock. Headroom is still on back order. How do I know? I just went through the process.

Thanks for that great explanation! BTW, I also went with the 6sn7 tube option. Guess I forgot to mention that in my initial post.

Suggestions for SE Tubes amps <$1K
I am strongly pursuing buying a tube amp. I am very close to getting a Woo Audio W3 with some modifications suggested by a member here. He also suggested some tubes to improve the sound.

SR-71 Not Driving DT 990 Pro's Well Enough.
Ray, Is the gain on your SR-71 amps fixed at 6 or can we "flick" an internal switch to vary it? I realize you can make whatever gain you want when you design and build it but I'm just wondering if it can be varied by the user as some other amps can be. Thanks, Greg- falcogreg
