Here is a review that not only covers recording but also playback, very interesting: In review: Sony’s PCM-M10 handheld digital recorder For those too lazy to click : "Mike Rivers does a great job pointing out the virtues of the PCM-M10's recording capabilities. As with all recording pocket...

At last someone did it and posted the results, way to go mate! I think it might be important to find a nice set of earmuffs (in my case clamping force wasn't a problem, but sweat was I think). As to the sound, EQ should do it. Nice to hear from a Hd280 owner that the isolation is greater...

Don't forget the LynxOne Pci soundcard, I have one forsale, it's old yes, but that can mean it can be used with older PCs and it's analog ins and outs are really great, for some better than 1212ms

One more thing, if one aims at the best noise isolation possible for the buck: EARMUFF + IEMs, now that's some serious isolation

Forgot to add, if you remove the grills from the ksc75 the bass will diminish a little and the sound become clearer. Certainly a mod I prefer. Now, by putting the ksc75 into the earmuffs, you get a darker and less airy sound, but with this mod you compensate it. The Ksc75 have the flexibility...

Should be, according to the pics they're the same.

Hey Pangaea, how do the Equation's compare to your other headphones: Hd595, etc? I think I'm getting Rp-15 and Rp-22x and maybe then some Rp-21. That's some hot threesome

Hey, how are you doing? I have a LynxOne PCI that's for sale or trade. This card is one of the best when it comes to analog out and ins. Better than Emu 1212m, Juli@, etc. If you are interested I can ship to Belgium. http://www.lynxstudio.com/lynxone.html here's a review...

Hi, from what I've read, and having the 0404usb I'd go with the usb and the hd580. This is a combo which has been commented as great, and the hd580 have been many times been recommended for classical over the hd595. Greetings

Have you looked at the Emu 0404 USB? From what I've read it's probably the best option and has lots of inputs. http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/...-0404-usb.html I've seen it go for 175 shipped new if you froogle it. Greetings

Well, the Emu 0404 USB may compete with the MicroDac but so far nobody has compared them.
